Where Is The Parking?

Where Is The Parking?

 

I couldn’t catch the subway train

Eyes electric lady land vain

I didn’t even have any friends

Besides my Porsche and Mercedes Benz

So I hustled off to Alamo

And snorted a gram of blow

But the CIA was in a little worry

As they fled the scene in diabolical hurry

I saw a spot but it was awful tight

To fit in, to fit in, well I just might

Of course, I didn’t want to scratch the paint

If I did, I’d yell a spell and then faint

There was dog dodo on the ground

My heart in angst began to pound

I pressed the metal to the pedal in backwards cliché

And fled to what was a better day

Yuppies are a thing of the past

And police cruisers ride mighty fast

Chief Columbo is a confidant

Pray tell what more could you want

Another parking deck?

A dismal gigantic metallic wreck

Where is the parking snorted the whore?

What does it matter if there’s nuclear war?

Smile Jesus Loves You

Smile Jesus Loves You

 

It’s Sunday morning and the church is somewhere                           

All the saints are putting in their two hours of prayer                       

Meanwhile caught in the trial of a wicked day                                  

ICE agents are carrying mamasita away

 

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

Smile Jesus loves you can’t you tell

Hear the chiming of the golden church bell

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

 

Her babies are crying a lament straight from hell

She’s in some dark room with an ominous smell

You see the Land of the Free has some exceptions

Native American genocide nobody mentions

 

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

Smile Jesus loves you can’t you tell

Hear the chiming of the golden church bell

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

 

I am eating hot oatmeal feeling guilty

Is God on my side the Holy Spirt still with me

I promised God my life all he gets is this song

Try as I might I cannot right a simple wrong

 

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

Smile Jesus loves you can’t you tell

Hear the chiming of the golden church bell

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

 

In my fantasy she is with me and we are breathing fire

Laughing in the seventh heaven planning to take it higher

Is this confusion all a delusion orchestrated by the enemy

Or is the love from above going to set mankind free?

 

The misery of my headache it still lingers

I grimace at the tapping of my fingers

I look at planet Earth so many are lost

Who will stand up and defy the holocaust

 

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

Smile Jesus loves you can’t you tell

Hear the chiming of the golden church bell

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

West Virginia Green

 West Virginia Green

 

When the southern wind fails the sails grow soft            

On the high trails to heaven I became lost                      

Caught in the crazy maze of manic haze                 

I could only dream of some better days                  

 

Swallow me up West Virginia green

If you’ve been you know what I mean

Love is the finest thing I’ve ever seen

Swallow me up West Virginia green

 

On the merry-go-round and the Feris wheel

Sometimes these profound illusions seem like real

You can’t play your cards if they never deal

In comes the devil for a soul to steal

 

Swallow me up West Virginia green

If you’ve been you know what I mean

Love is the finest thing I’ve ever seen

Swallow me up West Virginia green

 

I was going to be somebody go real far

If I had an acoustic guitar I’d be a folk star

The lesson of manic depression came true

Waking up in Graystone dorm sixty-two

 

Sugar Mountain crumbled tasting like salt

I paid the piper but it wasn’t my fault

My life was over at twenty years old

But the fires of hell never did grow cold

 

Swallow me up West Virginia green

If you’ve been you know what I mean

Love is the finest thing I’ve ever seen

Swallow me up West Virginia green

 

Oh sing me a love song tender and sweet

Come and make love to me could I be complete?

The mad man on the corner once that was me

Visions of glory I wish you could see

 

Swallow me up West Virginia green

If you’ve been you know what I mean

Love is the finest thing I’ve ever seen

Swallow me up West Virginia green
