American The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. / -E.H.
Hey, little girl say what you mean Leave me alone or come home with me Give me a sign or tell me your name I'm sick of lies and tired of games My neck's in a noose I'm feeling the kick The smoke in the air is making me sick The dollar is down but hotels are cheap So, leave me alone or come home with me Give me your keys I'll give you my love Take off your ring and I'll put on the glove Turn off your lights it's so hard to Read between the lines in between your sheets You look in my eyes what do you need? You ask my advice? 'do as you please' The ending is near my ears start to ring I keep telling myself this doesn't mean a thing. But I cannot be alone with me tonight. Not by myself And I could not let you run away tonight With anyone else Not tonight The tables have turned now I am all alone What have I learned? Does anyone know? I burned the bridge so I will take the fall I wonder... Will she answer? Will I even call? Well..Yeah

Not Tonight
You are a black storm A kind of storm forcing me to keep indoors And stay in bed and draw the shades and drink while writing poetry And just try to write poetry all day Blue Tuesday you are more Like the color of her door I think of often The door I'll never see again with open eyes or hold the key to You remind me of her door I'll never see again

Blue Tuesday
The chief had a drank for twenty years or so And stayed drunk enough to call the streets his home He was working on a hand-held totem pole until Boy blue looked his way The drink and his style stayed clogged in his ear Or maybe he was to drunk to notice or fear That man with a gun raising hell About his blade. The chief kept walking, not knowing he should stop And with a whisper of a warning that is as far as he got Boy blue put four in his back my god What a man. 'This doesn't reflect on the whole brigade' But discipline and punishment, like magic, fade They protect their own so Mr. Birk Just hid away. The lesson here is one of fear One of panic and add the right to **** Try your words before you send an old man To his grave.

The Ballad of John T. Williams
The smell of corn bags will Always remind me of you. We would jog to seem modern or Just tour around campus and city bridges driven by Conversation and company until we were exhausted. And we would come home and You would warm you bag after making love or To relax and read. The smell of corn bags will Always remind me of you because You are not around anymore. I found someone new Someone modern.

Corn Bags
Broken Girl you gave your heart away He never cared about your love All the while your smile sings loud symphonies in my head And your eyes would always be enough to keep me alive Broken Girl you run to me, again, broken He pushed his luck and he broke your heart and he left you alone Stay with me. We'll both be okay crying You can dry your eyes on me tonight (It would get me through until the next time we are here. I am forever lost in bliss around you. I need another night to discover what it will take for you to know me. I love you forever.) Broken Girl you have caught him out again He finally saw the heartbreak in your eyes He just smiles like he does and takes your hands You decide to give him another try (It would get you through until the next time. You're forever lost with him in your memories. You just need more time to show him and time to find the words and things to get you through.) Broken Girl you ran to me yesterday He's put a ring on your hand
