Pieces Of Me

Pieces Of Me 2

 

Hand in hand on a midnight stroll                              

You kissed my lips touched my soul                         

Under the witness of infinity                                     

You whispered softly                                                 

Take these pieces of me                                                         

 

Pieces of me a ring around the heart

No beginning no start

Pieces of me a ring around the heart

Pieces of me never to depart

 

I sailed the seas searching for what?

In each view never forgot

Even on the eternal sea

The wind spoke quietly

Take these pieces of me

 

Pieces of me a ring around the heart

No beginning no start

Pieces of me a ring around the heart

Pieces of me never to depart

 

Forever is something that is made

Red roses grow only to fade

Thorns remain I pray they depart

Can we my love make a new start?

 

Close enough to be vulnerable

Full of fear trembling wonderful

Tomorrow holds only promise

Sorrow to turn to bliss

Love’s fetters so shall it be

Take these pieces of me

 

Pieces of me a ring around the heart

No beginning no start

Pieces of me a ring around the heart

Pieces of me never to depart

The Land Where Dead Men Die

The Land Where Dead Men Die

 

In northwestern Wisconsin the east wind blows like sin                   

And all the farm girl sluts strut around being born again                              

Billy Graham would be preaching outside the honkey-tonk bars     

I’m just like Jesus Christ darling do you want to see my scars                     

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

Well Rita was atheist or maybe agnostic who could tell

She wanted to believe in heaven but shunned talk of hell

Thumb extended she was hitchhiking anywhere south

She proclaims all the same it ain’t wrong if you use your mouth

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

Daryll was a killer on the loose driving a tractor trailer

If I make the FBI’s most wanted I won’t be a failure

Rita had a short skirt it made Daryll hurt just to look

Pulling over the trucker chuckled I’ll rob her like a crook

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

All the Sanhedrin are chanting Psalm one twenty-one

The babes at the Passover are drunk and they want some fun

We all die young are you enjoying this thing called life

I’m mad at my momma cause she upset my current wife

 

Seems like the story needs resolution or at least a solution

The obvious answer my friends bloodless revolution

Rita was on the pill and Daryll went in for the kill

The humor of the rumor has it they’re out there riding still

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

Something Funky

 Something Funky

 

Nanana was my favorite chic freak of the weak       

Saturday evening at the bar I was hitting my peak                

The golden sun glistened glowing on her pinkish hair          

In the mourning I said hey baby what you doing here?         

 

I came in for something funky don’t you know

Like front row tickets for the fashion show

I am a lover and a fighter like two is two

I came in for something funky and that’s you

 

At Sunday morning service they played the honkey-tonk

The lesbian reverend was preaching on the wages of zonk

We were full of the spirit rolling up and down the aisles

The children hit the sacred wine bursting with bubbly smiles

 

I came in for something funky don’t you know

Like front row tickets for the fashion show

I am a lover and a fighter like two is two

I came in for something funky and that’s you

 

Monday morning I awoke to relive the nine to five

Nanana was cooking bacon and eggs to survive

I said darling I need some coffee and I need it hot

She smiled showing all her golden teeth “Oh damn I forgot”

 

I came in for something funky don’t you know

Like front row tickets for the fashion show

I am a lover and a fighter like two is two

I came in for something funky and that’s you

 

Rats running in the maze run alone

Love is a mystery with so much unknown

He is a she or she is a he confusion avails

The muted poet he spins the best tales

 

The weddings in late March she bursts out without a look

My time of month was stolen most likely by a crook

Smiles on her face transformed to a hurricane of tears

There are things that frighten you and then there are real fears

 

I came in for something funky don’t you know

Like front row tickets for the fashion show

I am a lover and a fighter like two is two

I came in for something funky and that’s you

Forgotten Faces

Forgotten Faces

 

Red sun rose burning over the blue seas                    

Sugar is sweet and so is the word please                   

I had to ask baby but never twice                              

Come in for some more sin was your advice             

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

 

Yesterday was more than a song gone wrong

So easy to say why can’t you be strong

Love lost such a cost winter’s bitter frost

Summer loving like a coin that was tossed

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

 

Making love was easy but words can kill

Wish there was a cure a magical pill

What we had was a hundred one-night stands

Just me and you the two who understands

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

 

I wish we could have went to an island lost in the ocean

I would build you a golden temple give my devotion

We would swing from the trees and laugh in the breeze

Me for you and you for me and both only to please

 

Freezing wind blowing on these city streets

I’m writing these lyrics counting the beats

Just empty words you were the melody

I’ve got nobody but I still ain’t free

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Southern Lights

 

Southern Lights

 

When the whole world’s coming down on you                

The sky in your soul’s no longer blue                              

Heaven tells love’s story in the night                              

All right you’re all right

 

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Gazing up we’re lost in delight

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Magical holding tight                                           

 

Dreams are the currency of the heart

A little from each we do our part

One day truth and love shall reunite

All right it’s all right

 

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Gazing up we’re lost in delight

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Magical holding tight                                           

 

There is a grace beyond this temporal space

Searching the universe finding God’s face

The Southern Lights a melody of the muse

If you need a friend I’ll help pay your dues

 

Hold my hand as we walk through this time

A perfect echo giving off rhyme

Come here dear lady I’ll be your knight

All right you’re all right

 

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Gazing up we’re lost in delight

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Magical holding tight

Verisimilitude

Verisimilitude

 

When I was young before I could count time            

The so called priest committed a crime         

Baptized they said Father Son Holy Ghost                

One more for the score their carnal boast                  

 

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude

 

I pledged allegiance to the sacred flag

On the red white and blue I’d boast and brag

I cheered the soldiers as they went to war

A loyal slave of Babylon the Whore

 

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude

 

I learned the lie about Thanksgiving

Playground bullies were unforgiving

United we stand divided we fall

We all must answer the buglers call

 

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude

 

There were cracks in the foundation holes in the ceiling

Late in a sleepless night what was it I was feeling

Capitalism greed it was the American way

Get more money and it’ll all be okay

 

The truth always comes with great sacrifice

My sanity was the costly price

But I can see though I wish I was blind

Seek and I suppose you too will find

 

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude

Wild Child

Wild Child

 

She died her hair green for just a laugh                     

Laughing in the mirror there’s my better half            

Combat boots and a self-made tie dye                       

Life is for the living give it a try                                

 

She was a wild child without within

Having a good time ain’t a sin

She was a wild child full of the Holy Ghost

She was a wild child it ain’t a boast

 

The boys say ‘she’s weird’ as she walks bye

But all the girls notice their lingering eyes

Anarchy’s really a state of mind

And the real truth of love is being kind

 

She was a wild child without within

Having a good time ain’t a sin

She was a wild child full of the Holy Ghost

She was a wild child it ain’t a boast

 

A refugee from nineteen sixty-three

Letting go is the secret of being free

She flirts quickly and dances so slow

Always sitting the front row for the show

 

She was a wild child without within

Having a good time ain’t a sin

She was a wild child full of the Holy Ghost

She was a wild child it ain’t a boast

 

There are secrets that we could never tell

There couldn’t be heaven without hell

It’s not where you’re born but how it ends

If we can’t be lovers then let us be friends

 

She’s a poet who believes in rhyme

Simultaneously ahead and behind her time

Life is a song so start the singing

She’s a wild child and that’s what she’s bringing

 

She was a wild child without within

Having a good time ain’t a sin

She was a wild child full of the Holy Ghost

She was a wild child it ain’t a boast

Leap Of Faith

 Leap Of Faith

 

Baby I was born in middle class doldrums                

As far from the palaces as the dirty slums                 

The kids were cruel the names and fists flew            

I was missing things that I never knew                     

 

Leap of faith I’m giving it a try

Leap of faith it’s now or die

Leap of faith I believe I can fly

Leap of faith I’m giving it a try

 

Lost in a social holocaust terribly shy

A million questions all starting with Why

I was a fool they were cruel and I believed

Oh how far I fell knowing I was deceived

 

Leap of faith I’m giving it a try

Leap of faith it’s now or die

Leap of faith I believe I can fly

Leap of faith I’m giving it a try

 

My rock and roll savior sold out to pop

She kept going long after I said stop

Beer on tap at five thirty Hudson street

Where do you go after you admit defeat?

 

Leap of faith I’m giving it a try

Leap of faith it’s now or die

Leap of faith I believe I can fly

Leap of faith I’m giving it a try

 

So hear I am writing poetry for the love of art

Doesn’t matter how clever or even that I’m smart

All roads lead to Rome and then death’s the final home

May I suggest the Book of Love it’s a righteous tome?

 

So here we are looking for a rhythm guitar

So here we are pretending to be a star

Soon beyond the moon on to Jupitar

Look in the mirror find out who you are

 

Leap of faith I’m giving it a try

Leap of faith it’s now or die

Leap of faith I believe I can fly

Leap of faith I’m giving it a try

And Pigs Might Fly

 And Pigs Might Fly

 

Bob Dylan was once named Robert Zimmerman                  

In show biz anything but style is sacred sin                          

My entourage smiled saying “You’ll make it if you try”      

With hideous laughter they added “And pigs might fly”       

 

And pigs might fly I tell you no lie

After making bacon they go to heaven high

There the kind angels give them wings

And pigs might fly what joy it brings

 

The Mommas and Poppas hitchhiked to Frisco

Refusing every ride if the radio played disco

They first visit the Golden Gate Bridge then China Town

With no clown selling joy they settle on a frown

 

And pigs might fly I tell you no lie

After making bacon they go to heaven high

There the kind angels give them wings

And pigs might fly what joy it brings

 

I opened all the Doors and found endless wars

I looked high in the sky where the jet bombers soar

It was a big pig of that I could be almost sure

I watched the news but the commercials made it a boar

 

And pigs might fly I tell you no lie

After making bacon they go to heaven high

There the kind angels give them wings

And pigs might fly what joy it brings

 

Give me a pork chop sandwich with a Kaiser roll

Give me a pork chop sandwich that can rock and roll

Pigs might fly oh yes darling I fully understand

Pigs might fly but one day they gotta land

 

Saw a buffalo in Springfield swear it’s true

Go to the museum I reckon you’ll see it too

This is my song and I don’t care if you give a damn

I’m going to make a sandwich of cheese and ham

 

And pigs might fly I tell you no lie

After making bacon they go to heaven high

There the kind angels give them wings

And pigs might fly what joy it brings

A Song With No Name

 A Song With No Name

 

Walking down Fifth Avenue wearing suit and tie                  

An uptown blues guitarist caught my eye                             

He jammed singing in a homemade microphone                   

I sat by his side and we both weren’t alone                           

 

He was playing a song with no name

Every riff unique nothing the same

Music is such a whimsical game

He was playing a song with no name

 

Well we talked about life and we both had a smile

His aged eyes had seen many a trial

I played with some of the best he did proclaim

I said “Let’s hear it again this song with no name”

 

He was playing a song with no name

Every riff unique nothing the same

Music is such a whimsical game

He was playing a song with no name

 

He was a hustler had his case out for spare change

Fingers were whirling his voice deep and strange

The muse was a demon that none dared to tame

The day passed in a flash in a song with no name

 

He was playing a song with no name

Every riff unique nothing the same

Music is such a whimsical game

He was playing a song with no name

 

Was he an angel or a demon to tame?

He was playing a song with no name

Perhaps he was really a man of fame

He was playing a song with no name

 

There was an artist drawing pictures for money

I said draw us handing her a twenty

The day was captured and I rose to depart

He sweetly smiled and said dear child “You touched my heart”

 

He was playing a song with no name

Every riff unique nothing the same

Music is such a whimsical game

He was playing a song with no name

Jerusalem

Jerusalem

 

I woke up to the sound of bombs falling                

God can you hear us the world is calling               

Most of us want peace and a few want war            

Funny it’s men with money who want more          

 

Jerusalem city of peace

When will the genocide cease?

Love is the only release

Oh Jerusalem city of peace

 

Walking the same streets that Jesus Christ trod

Remembering the words of the Son of God

He went to the cross He’s our sacrifice

Those wearing His name don’t heed his advice

 

Jerusalem city of peace

When will the genocide cease?

Love is the only release

Oh Jerusalem city of peace

 

Love your neighbor and love your enemy

If you obey the Truth shall make you free

Sell all that you have and give to the poor

What are we doing waging endless war?

 

Jerusalem city of peace

When will the genocide cease?

Love is the only release

Oh Jerusalem city of peace

 

The devil sips his martini wearing a three-piece suit

The poverty of the hood creates another recruit

Promises promises promises words are only lies

Far away in Gaza we can’t hear the dreadful cries

 

You can’t even drink the water in Flint

Something’s terribly wrong get the hint?

Together we live or else agony

Only the devil wins in World War Three

 

Jerusalem city of peace

When will the genocide cease?

Love is the only release

Oh Jerusalem city of peace

Please Be Kind

Please Be Kind

 

Queen Jane was a song but so was King of Pain                   

Blood on your hands sperm on the dress please explain       

They salute you recruit you prostitute you                            

At sunrise you hear clear the bugle toot blue                        

 

Troubled life worried mind

Please be kind please be kind

Tears of sorrow bind and blind

I ask of you, please be kind

 

The Queen of Clubs softly rubs the Jake of Spades

If you lose the war the score is no parades

Don’t forget the power of the nuclear button

If you’re out of veal I’ll have a meal of mutton

 

Troubled life worried mind

Please be kind please be kind

Tears of sorrow bind and blind

I ask of you, please be kind

 

Billy is a spark in the dark giving your best?

Fame and fortune silver and gold such a harsh test

The lights were always on you need open your eyes

When something is born sing tender lullabies

 

Troubled life worried mind

Please be kind please be kind

Tears of sorrow bind and blind

I ask of you, please be kind

 

And nine out of ten doctors recommend living

On her knees she cries God must be forgiving

Martin the Pimp has a day job as a banker

If she is sweet and neat you simply must thank her

 

At the end of eternity what really matters?

The Love Light of delight makes evil scatter

Jesus hanging on a cross three nails they bind

Just because you can Mister Jones please be kind

 

Troubled life worried mind

Please be kind please be kind

Tears of sorrow bind and blind

I ask of you, please be kind

Whiskey And The Wild Witch

Whiskey And The Wild Witch

 

Apocalyptic poet rapping in his prime

Cataclysmic quotations clapping out rhyme

Suburbia white picket fences surround gardens green

As Pink says welcome my son welcome to the machine

 

The spirits are strong and I got an itch

Whisky, whiskey and the wild witch

Rich man is poor and poor man is in the ditch

Just give me whiskey, whiskey and the wild witch

 

Misty daze summer haze always something to say

Trying hard to think I need a drink yesterday

Crimson neon light flashing bright go go arama

A crowd of men a hooting and hollering drama

 

The spirits are strong and I got an itch

Whisky, whiskey and the wild witch

Rich man is poor and poor man is in the ditch

Just give me whiskey, whiskey and the wild witch

 

Sixteen going on thirty-four a familiar scene

I’m lusting in fantasy she’s caught in a dream

I smile to the bartender and he gives me a nod

She wears a gold cross but it ain’t for the Son of God

 

Her spell was cast the future had become the past

Evil was grinning my world spinning darkness vast

Doctor Who deja vous I’m lost please give me a clue

I received your letter but you sent it postage due

 

The spirits are strong and I got an itch

Whisky, whiskey and the wild witch

Rich man is poor and poor man is in the ditch

Just give me whiskey, whiskey and the wild witch

 

And there are tiny gnomes tap dancing on my head

Praying to God for mercy wishing I was dead

Slurring tongue all that comes fumbling out is what she said

She has a crooked nose but she laughs boys I’m well bred

 

The spirits are strong and I got an itch

Whisky, whiskey and the wild witch

Rich man is poor and poor man is in the ditch

Just give me whiskey, whiskey and the wild witch

I Remember

 I Remember

 

They were yesterdays of pain hurt falling like rain             

Words or phrases would never serve to explain                  

Outcast for the dark crime of just being me                          

And until this day I am still fighting to be set free      

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry

 

In the company all of the dogs call me sir

In the family I caused a little stir

I desire to destroy Babylon the Whore

They’d shoot me dead but they’re all afraid of nuclear war

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry

 

I misquoted Steven Tyler on my resume

I put a question mark under current pay

I ain’t mean but they do kill on my behalf

It ain’t a joke brother so I hope I don’t hear you laugh

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry

 

The wisdom of the system is from Lucifer

I’ve got lyrics do you know a record producer?

Myron lost in dorm sixty-two of Graystone U

So tell me the sorrows you’ve been through

 

The mystique of a freak my God is on my side

I can’t run because there ain’t no place to hide

So I sit and reflect on years of disrespect

Every day we’re dealt a new set of cards from the deck

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry
