The hour awaits dam time is calling
Feel the shudder crawling in my skin
Spine ready for the chill
Not wanting to know

How could I let this happen to my
Temple inner self
To this thing of inner beauty
To my one life simple world

Doctors eyes tell my soul
In walks the fool with one chance
In his head
Words blurred to the barrage of screaming
held within  
Time is running out

So 3 am in the morning
Feel I have one chance thats left
Sense my nine life's on this planet
Been marked into the red

Eyes weep in tears of salted joy on my
Tasteless lips as the smile cracks
One chance for my body is a chance
I'll take all day
One chance for my future
Feel my mind all blown away

Another day another dollar
Don the thrown on clothes
That worn over washed feel
A face soaped look to begin the start of another start
Another trawl into the big wide world
Yet so held in as my uniform
Becomes my sin

Work the day
Sleep the night
Gone the parties
Gone the life

My dollar buys the tax mans lunch
His change may feed my family brunch
Pay the bills on borrowed time
What a life my common crimes
Twist the fate that follows me
The uniform of life and
I'm the tree

Work the day
Sleep the night
Gone the parties
Gone the life

Holiday beaches from a magazine
Feel the heat and dream the dream
Forget the island sun my son
Paradise park be only for the few
Paradise just aint my glue

Work the day
Sleep the night
Gone the parties
Gone the life

Uniform of life work your magic wand
Take me to another place
Work me to the bone
Feed my luck to the workers book
It's written till the end
Gone my map all washed from the tears of my soul
The chapters complete yet
Empty inside

His smile just said it all
A look
A laughing call
It melted me inside
My love is pure to never die

His age scare still my soul
As tall as trees in fall
He towers over me
My treasure that he be

A glint that made me warm
The laugh all in his charm
My proudest and my life
Yes my son you are my pride

Yet who do I owe the most
My wifey's love ..a suffering host
She's good and makes me proud
My son ...Our son
Our life

The clouds seem grey today
Is it me I hear you play
Was no mood for laughing loud
Feel the deepest darkest howl

Started like the fun I have
Then the clouds of grey bit back
So I is here to feel the mood
Black and grey all coloured blue

Let's hope the wind does do its job
Blow my mind ...blow the lot
Bring that sunny sunshine smile
Make me happy Gangman style

Body in aching from a thousand steps
Yet a thousand more must be seen
In this life that i love for free
Yet take away my relief

Go feed me the pain that
I must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again

A tortured mind for the mindless fools
My head feels so at home
Just a thousand steps to take me there
And a thousand back I drone

Go feed me the pain that
i must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again

Hills of torture through paths of stone
I'll walk the way to hell
A thousand steps step up the hill
Just a thousand back again

Go feed me the pain that
I must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again

Does this see life as we are made
Or can we throw the walk
Do charge a million miles to stride
Be dam the steps don't fall

I'd sooner fly to stars above
Be scared of reaching high
Look down as up and step to climb
the sky

Go feed me the pain that
I must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again


A pearly gate may greet me  
Fluffy beard to show us life
The new way
Last step in time

Vanilla fog filled my body
A taste quite sweet yet its bitter pill
burned my mouth
Hurt my body
Stung my eyes

In the dark no mercy for the good
No way out for the end
Too young to die
Too young to fly
See a wronged goodbye

A journey to far
Be his bright shining star
As wings carry him high
For a friend in he lives

Burn so the pain in hearts
close to him
Sad for the sorrow
A missed goodbye grin

Crying not over for a loss
still so raw
Bitter and twisted for the road
Dam the fall
Heaven is a place
Be a knock on his door

He perched high upon his tower of doom
With a glazed gruesome smile  
The window of the world at his feet
Wallow earth wallow
A fine job done indeed

What have we done? ..where do we go?
So many wars
So many useless conflicts
Wasted sons to fathers breath
Mothers wailing ....fear regrets

Famine ..hunger and much the greed
He had done well ...very well indeed
Still perched he rubbed his hands
Laughing at the stupidity of the
So called human race  

Smoke escaped his horns in anticipation
A baited fiery breath held
What next to tempt his bitter
twisted tongue
A lighting bolt of laughter escaped him
The  storm was coming
