I'm drunk and I'm drunk with bitterness.
One lucky man he must be;
seeing you by his side in the morning
as I once did.
How am I? My pals ask.
Never (getting) better.

I've been spending my time more wisely;
staying lively and bundled.
Sometimes your eyeballs dance. (so surreal)
Eye've been looking and looking. (for something real)
Too bad it's been found (out) and
these days there's a lot to learn about.
                                             (new things)
Keep on keeping on;
rolling on and playing (music) on.

I can only hope that (my) life
doesn't wind out of control
or wind up killing me dead
(er) than a doornail to a door
to someplace better than anyplace
but here.
I have to keep the faith.
(in myself and my fellow humans)
We don't know any better
so we judge those
who don't know
any better.
(Anyone can do better.)

I used to be (quite) a bit more free.
I never had a care.
Older now,
            I try not to have a care.
But,
            I care way too much.

My eyes have wandered
to the woods and back to
where we could and should
have spent our evenings, nights,
and seen the morning
lights through the naked limbs
as our limbs remain tangled
among the root mangled soil.

There's too many stars
to pick just one to wish on.
Take a second to think about
a wish you'd like to have come true,
and maybe it'll go a bit something
like this something I've got in mind.
I've been thinking about the forgotten
thoughts and doubts and realizations
of my yesterday and last year plus
two or three more, and for whatever
and why ever it's worth anything,
I'd wish for something magnificent
to happen again and again in your life
again and again until it gets old,
until you get old and each new
pair of dogs you buy
die and die again.
Perhaps,
you'll find something worthwhile.

Spin me out of this world
                                         Blow my mind.
There's something better to experience.
You're stuck. Stuck. Stuck. Stuck. Dead.
Stop listening to what you want to hear.
Hear what you need to hear,
see what you need to see.
Be what you need to be.
Some hear truths (and lose themelves)
              Hear truths. Find truths.
                   (Close your mouth)
Open your mind.
