The best laid plans, like grains of sand are swiftly streaming through my hands Don't get excited don't celebrate yet every time I do I lose the bet These vapid clichés Shuttered plays Days and days Waste away Into the endless tangled fray

Of Mice and Men

The best laid plans, like grains of sand are swiftly streaming through my hands Don't get excited don't celebrate yet every time I do I lose the bet These vapid clichés Shuttered plays Days and days Waste away Into the endless tangled fray

Isbin and Shalby

Last call, last shout Last drop till the last drought We had our chance And we're all still blowing it Here's the line Who will start towing it? Sink or swim It's time to start rowing it We're all standing on Broad shoulders of greed We all grew up dependent on disposable sneeds Woven from the tufts of the Redwood trees But it's not our fault, It wasn't you and me It was some old grandstander That we'll never see Right...? Well... Yes and no And it only goes to show That this house built of windows Can't stand one more stones throw So do we quit our jobs and stop driving? **** I don't know... We're past the point of blame It's not all just a game The more years you've got The more hot you'll trot Believe it or not... So here's to the treaties! Lower emissions and make it speedy! **** all the billionaires, Let's take care of the needy! Too much to ask? They never said it'd be easy.

The crunchy time wheel runs fast and runs slow The crunchy time wheel knows what it knows Sometimes it's draggin' and ya feel the laggin' Sometimes it's spinnin' and ya feel like yer winnin' Where does the time go? Does it sink or does it swim? Is it flyin' or runnin' thin? Is it hangin' after a Saturday night? Or the heaviest heavy weight? Ready for the fight? Oh crunchy time wheel Wheelin' along... Oh crunchy time wheel Keep truckin' on.

Hairy Jerry played his songs Through the years And trips so long Hairy Jerry grinned and bared Loved and laughed and sang and shared The heads looked up They felt he cared They loved their Hairy Jerry Bear Now all the lot kids, ******** in bulbs All agree that Hairy Jerry Was the best bulb screw-er of all.

I keep listening to time Beating hearts and endless rhymes And it all sounds so sublime Much more real than the last wind And my records just keep spinning With the earth and every new thing Now we're back to where we started But it's different, clouds have parted It made so much sense before But every day it just makes more Now I start to understand As the sand falls through my hands Making gestures small and grand As we all keep getting older Through the chaos and disorder No sense pining in the oak groves For the flowers that we once knew At the bottom of our dark brews Bitters floating on the surface As I drink another purchase And reflect upon the purpose Of each sip as it slides down Always forwards, never backwards Only rising never pouring, Twirling, twirling, twirling, soaring! Doesn't matter if you're gripping If you're sweaty, if you're slipping If you're wide eyed, always tripping We all keep trucking on And I always feel so strong Like I understand the song Finally, but not for long

Do you want to see inside? I'm afraid you can't It's too messy inside I need that space to hide All that useless junk we buy And I haven't swept up yet There's the corner where I cried We had a stinky rat, but it died That room's for my bride That door is an illusion It really leads outside Circumnavigates our dwelling There really is no telling Why that portal lies That's not a door! It's a jar! And it's letting in the flies And they're buzzing all inside My hollow head, which I call home My brain is locked, the key's a comb Please don't enter It's not a house It's a tomb

Inside

Do you want to see inside? I'm afraid you can't It's too messy inside I need that space to hide All that useless junk we buy And I haven't swept up yet There's the corner where I cried We had a stinky rat, but it died That room's for my bride That door is an illusion It really leads outside Circumnavigates our dwelling There really is no telling Why that portal lies That's not a door! It's a jar! And it's letting in the flies And they're buzzing all inside My hollow head, which I call home My brain is locked, the key's a comb Please don't enter It's not a house It's a tomb

I watched a swallow tail, mackin' on a tiger lily Just the other day, I saw it drink itself silly Clinging to stamens, gently perched Burying it's face to quench it's thirst It couldn't get enough of that wonderful stuff Sweet nectar hidden in bright orange folds Spots on spots, colours so bold I thought my friend had had it's fill As it fluttered off it's delicate sill But, nay, twas truly a thirsty one! It needed another angle to get the job done Fluttering up and around and then back down What a beautiful moment, an **** sublime Watching nature always eases my mind.
