pouring out the cold coffee but the bitter taste is in my mouth got some coffee for your nose hole heres a little, try it out perks you up a little bit give it a sec, it slows you down got you flying high but now its cold so we're flying south. Down to El Paso where the coffees made with stronger beans skinny young Latinas rubbing coca powder on their teeth so obscene follow me for some color green headed out to west see if we can score some cali trees go to sleep waking up, kinda feeling phony need a pick-me-up we're headed home but we take it slowly. now now we're back to the land again couldn't help but wonder about these little pills he's handing them ill try a couple nah, **** it! Thirteen rolling harder than a caddy with the brakes cut clean. but I'm losing it we were cruising without choosing it got nailed down to the inverted crucifix who is this? that seems to have me by the scruff If you're looking for a ride you're gonna get picked up

House cleaning
The bush that I beat around is round and profound and its not attached to the ground but, it seems to pound aloud the sound of.. the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the water that we all drown in. If I could climb the tallest mound in the smallest town and sing aloud as if I scaled the Everest Mountain. And if he talks down on my leaps and bounds would you be proud to stand around him? I astound the clowns who wear the crowns and silly gowns behind a shroud of sirens. That claim the grounds of their compound and are aroused by accounts of violence. And as the body count arises... The people around, in silence while the clowns burn down the city now Oh, how we've all turned out so mindless.

Beating Around the Bush
Once met a girl with a pretty face. One day she tried to put me in my place I said HEY pretty lady don't you act that way Or else I might just have to put you away She shot! And I got My skinny *** outta that shop Checked my head, not a bullet gotta worry about Once met a girl with mountains on her chest. One day she tried to put me to the test I said HEY foxy momma don't you do me wrong someone oughta put ya where you belong Then she swung! And I sprung Up and out, I was gone Checked my head, next time I better watch my tongue Once met a girly with an *** so fine. But she was always tryna spend every penny o' mine I said STOP baby now you're gonna **** me dry You done wasted my money now you're wasting my time She pounced! And I bounced My broke *** out the house Not a dollar in my pocket, not a girl I gotta worry about Once met a woman with skin like honey. She never asked for nothin' and put food in my tummy I said LISTEN here darlin' we should run away Cuz with you I would spend every night and day Then she left! And I wept She played me like a clarinet, Had me on a string like a marionette, Then put me out like a cigarette, That summertime sweetie took the heart right outta my chest

Once Met a Girl With a Pretty Face. (blues song lyrics)
Falling out of love again, but not with whom I need to my past obsession has become nothing more than my new addiction. well, one of the many at least. to recreate the situations, is a cause forever lost. to formulate retaliations, leaves the souls of lovers lost. holding fire in your heart, burning brands upon your brain a grudge of blood and tears and scars the spark of which will still remain as long as ashes are collected and ember fanned alive   the beast possesses reason, a motive to survive. I seek relief in my relations, mostly trivial in nature, from my newfound deprivation of optimism for the future I seek relief in my relations, mostly trivial in nature, from my newfound deprivation of optimism for the future no regard for heart of others who tide me over while you're gone leaving cracks, slow to recover leaving faces in their palms Its been two years since we were in it, but maybe that was just a phase the time has come to face forgiveness and forget those better days.

wasted time
he missed the days when he could sit down and relax a paradox a parallax the stories of youth and tales of old the nights of flame and soot and coals colors blurred and faces too he needs a way to get him through the night is his home but the day is too long so he spreads his worth till the yawn of dawn and he gets by because he needs to he's gotta prove them wrong a soul who has been flushed but the drain is clogged they would have let him go but hearts are softer now then ever before travis was a wise man who got caught up in the feel now *** and mary j replace his every meal

My heart is a golden ghost that lies in the river at the city limits yearning for the rays of the night and the light of the moon to illuminate my sorrows My mind is a diamond sailboat sailing through the waters of the coldest dessert searching for the key at the ocean floor to kick start the motor of the ticking time bomb these legs of mine have got eyes of blindmen oblivious to these shackels of mine running through the halls of the endless labyrinth when I get to the end it will all be fine

Clock necklace
sitting, waiting for the wake to take my mind away to sail it to a place to slip the time of day and find a way to place the time behind us, remind us of a day when reminders could remind us of the times when time was timeless and the lines were straight as circles and the sun, the beginning has begun and the end was always one that we pretend would never come but we would wind it up and play it just for fun.

The N'd is sneer
Take it from me there are things that we hear and see and feel and perceive and they tangle and weave and stab and they bleed into the cracks in the street at the souls of our feet, and we fall and we fail and we whimper and wail at the sound of the gavel in the court at the trial, oh the sentence is life and the walls are white for the rest of our lives, and when we start anew I can promise you that the sky will be blue and the oceans too, but the shade of the walls and the doors and the stalls and the floors and the halls and the roofs and the panes and the pictures and the frames and the mind and the brain will bleed a color all the same white
