Get up 6 in the morning
Don’t pop my head out till around 10
Because all the beautiful people
Don't rise up till around then
Peer out blacked out windows
Mind the mess from the night before
Last week’s Liquid courage
Still binds us to the floors
No way in
And No way out
Stay inside
Keep your doubts
Only leave the house
To check my mail
And read the electrical meter
Before the Helicopters start to wail
Only get the papers
To cut out all the pictures
Of the well dressed criminals
Getting fatter and richer
No one in
And No one out
Stay inside
Keep your doubts.

She is up
And ready to go
Wont let the fallout
keep her at home
Sprues and wires
holding it all in place
estimated in the hundreds of thousands
do whatever it takes
Grab your lab coat and cover your face
Open up
fresh graves
Heels of the stilettos
Puncture through soil all green
Take spoils of war back home
Straight to the makeups and creams
Your last boyfriend retired
He's about the same age
When you pull your hair back
you got a great taste
Grab your lab coat and cover your face
Open up
fresh graves.

All Those Stones

We took the car
up to see the crucifixion
Only to get lost
Try to find the admissions
All the phones are plugged in
The switch board is lighting up
But you'll never get a hold of us
you missed the last chance you got
Let it go
All those insults
get away if you have to
But make sure they know
I hope seats are good
For the stoning
I heard he was a gambler
His friends just say he was just lonely
Either way it doesn’t matter
we are here for the show
Grab your hat
Put on your best coat
Let it rain
All those stones
Don’t put your hands up, let them see your face
Make sure they know
That your not sorry.

Red dust kicks up
Around the salt lakes
Kamikaze 28s
Drunk on grain
Your hand out the window
Directs a cool breeze in,
to your auburn hair
Dancing in the wind,
and a big white sign
Standing out from the trees
Welcomes us To
Wild flower country
Black and white summer dress
Lighting up the room
all the Single cylinder engines
All whining in-tune
where I be
Versus, where I roam
Crossword clues
Unwritten tomes,
and a big white sign
Standing out from the trees
Welcomes us To
Wild flower country

Ode To Spot

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defences.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you, a true and valued, friend.

Tallahassee

The album that got me to write again. it's hard to pick just one of an amazing discography, lyrically so impressive, and sonically so beautiful, Tallahassee is an amazing achievement in storytelling.
