Oh she's all I need
I know she knows
And I hope she won't
Leave me when she
See's


(Chorus)


I may be ordinary now
I vanish in a crowd
In time I'll burn
Like a flame
I won't be ordinary
One day
,,,
She must
move on
She's out lived her stay
It's far better
now
Since we've parted
ways
We won't end at goodbye
Since we can't be friends
I can't be ordinary
If you think this must end
(Chorus)
One more  chance
I'll dumb down to stay
I'd rather give my all now
To be more than
Ordi...
nary !
Ike E Davis Feb 2020
There was little chance of all of us
Being here today
We are all so busy running
Our devices and our cars
Yet here we are
Look around to one another
Say hello
Ask
Are you well
Its genuine
To be kind
It's being part of humankind
Aren't you glad you came down?
Love
is in the crowd
No need for Pointing fingers
He
she
they
may not be
The same
Who am I
To pass out labels
So don't label me
Walk a mile in these shoes
You'll never throw rocks
If glass houses you
Can you feel it now
Love is in the crowd
Love is in
The crowd
Give to others
Like you hope
to
Receive
The true gift is
Giving
the crowd
Might agree
Can we all agree somehow
That love
That love
That love
Is in the crowd

Ladies and Gentlemen
Lift your heads
Mr. Lucky is with us again
He's had ten thousand shots to his name
And not a one has addled his brain
He's ****** down a truck load of beer
And yet look at him
Standing there
ready to cheer
Oh he's quite a man
Just ask him
he'll tell you so
Why
he's a saint among sinners
Drinking wine ,
that's sanctimanial
He'll give you the shirt off his back
And tell everyone how kind he was
While committing the act
Oh I must say
he's surely Lucky
Having drank such mass amounts of
*****
And not having so much as a
Pooch
A Lucky man Indeed
Mr. Person....al....ity
just add
Alcohol
you'll see
He'll slur his words and get
Overly loud
He'll be the only real man
In the crowd
he will cheat on his wife and ignore his daughter
all for another glass of
liquid manure
Mr. Lucky indeed,  
Pay your tab when you leave.

Our President assassinated
Beale Airforce base obliterated
This was the main radar station for western
States United
A plague released
Not from nature
It was engineered
and developed
Star force a joke?
It was designed to keep our
Satellites protected.
Yet computer viruse pulled
Them from orbits projected
Now leaderless no communication
I could here jets and bombs go off
At the nearest military installation
Water shut off
Electricity gone
The cities began to devour themselves
No need for a bomb
I hoped my daughter could get home
Just to be safe with me and mom
I had a gun.
Would I use it?
To protect my family
I would save them and not
Lose it
Locals begin to cannibalize other houses and
Resources
when you only have one gun
You learn to hide and use gorilla warfare
Courses
We managed many did not
We wander a bit to keep our enemies
From finding us out.
Boy I wish I hadn't been naive
I would **** for fresh water
And a bit of cheese
We have become like RATS
Ike E Davis Feb 2020
Everything matters
These words their meanings
And the hope behind them
Friendship its bond
And the love it brings
Your health my health
Mental and physical
Our loved ones
Your loved ones
Really anyone you may deal with
These things matter
Strength to take on each
Individual day
To find brightness on
The dark days
Little things,
Matter
You matter, to me
Five years of sobriety
Five years of honest hard work
After that call me
We won't go get a drink
But I will make you
Dinner.
If you feel that I matter
Ike E Davis Jan 2020
Alright folks stay with me now
They are the X'es
We are the O's
We operate on a
Place called the public board
The X'es occupy these amount of squares
The O's have always taken the area over there
I point this out but most bystanders
Really don't care
Now, it's a bigger board cut up in a certain way
The X's control these parts until a certain date
Then a majority vote will turn those spots to O's
There are those inbetween but, they cant swing the vote
Back at square one,  
stay with me now everyone
We are just learning the ground rules
And back to front the shell game goes
Who were the X'es and who are the O's?
And those in the middle are often gray
But our side is right
Upon the board we play

She was free traveling
From LA
Up the west coast
To the AK
There was no hurry
No real plan
Visiting friends
On route to
Ketchikan


(Chorus)


Along the coast lines
Most of the time
The dreamy sunsets
The waves talking in ryhme
Bonfires at night
Strong breeze all day
While on her journey to the AK


She left nothing behind
Just her mother's memories
She never thought of her father
While on escapes like these
She never looked back
Just moved constantly
To the  last frontier
Called  the AK


(Chorus)
Along the coast line
Most of the time
The dreamy sunsets
The waves talking in ryhm
Bonfires at night
A strong breeze all day
Along her journey to the AK


When she arrived
She went to my cafe
That's when I met
Her in the AK


She told me about the coast lines
(Remaing chorus)
Most of the time
The dreamy sunsets
The waves talking in ryhm
The bonfires at night
The strong breezes at day
And her arrival at the AK
