Remember when we were gasses
floating in our space?

Till we mixed together

A Better World
David Ehrgott Sep 2015
That winning girl she had it all
I never took a dime from her
I knocked her up, a gamble tall
I never asked a thing from her

She exercises god-born rights
and really loves an evening fight
So special yet, so very nice
A lesser girl would not be right

Her girlfriend lives upon the road
The one named for the river flow
And loves her brother, he's a toad
And now the whole world really knows

But, winning girl with heart of gold
With better wheels she rolls the rolls
Down private roads, the ones she knows
Her status now of that so bold

And here I am, the bad beat man
I thought I had a winning hand
Surprise Surprise got fooled again
Bet it all on Uncle Sam

That ***** gangster shot me dead
Filled me up with all his lead
No fighting now, I'm in the ground
A better world I could have found

Silently Still

I only beat you
Because I love you
Mother said.  After I died.
  
She wanted me to be good
So she beat me 'til I bled
Now I'm dead

One Gun
One Mum

One Gun
One Mum

One Gun, One Mum
One Gun, One Mum

poor sandy so tattered
worse than any ocean storm could batter

one mum with a gun
taught her only son to **** her

"**** 'em all, let's have some fun."
said one mum with a gun

One gum
One mum
One son

Ivy
Zebrina Pendula
Now, get out of here
you're not invited
we don't want your wares

always the spreading
with arms out to here
your leaves always dying
I just vacuumed there  

You gather then grow
with your worship you care
but most of the time
nobody else cares  

from country to country
They're throwing you out
sometimes so quiet
sometimes with a shout  

Zebrina Pendula
with all your despair
I hope you like water
It's all I can spare  

Please quench your thirst
and take here a rest
Zebrina Pendula
now keep on your quest

Whisper Songs of Love
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
I'm a silly little love song
can I snuggle up to you
I'm sitting all alone here
so lonesome just like you

Can you try to hear me
and here I will hear you
and we can both sing silly ditties
that help take away our blues

Don't Make That Laugh
David Ehrgott Sep 2015
Shave that thing off
your mustachio
Comb your hair
Now, look at that
Watch your manners
Don't past wind fast
And don't don't don't
make that laugh

    Chorus

Don't Don't Don't
Make that laugh
Don't Don't Don't
Make that laugh
Die off from a heart attack
But don't don't don't
make that laugh

v2

Don't do nothing
It's Saturday
Nod out on
the couch all day
plan a date
a night that's ' gas
But don't don't don't
make that laugh

     Repeat Chorus

V3

Spend all day
just watch T.V.
Hop on a bus
to the city
Go without
taking a bath
but don't don't don't
make that laugh

Tears of Rain
David Ehrgott Jul 2015
Living my whole life without
The one who's dearest to my soul
Twenty years inside the ring
Hear now what I have to bring
\Tears of rain, Tears of rain
L.A. never be the same
Crying tears that look like rain
Tears of rain get on the train
\Often times I have regret
For the story of my debt
She's a friend of Jesus Christ
She's a sinner and a friend
\Tears of rain, Tears of rain
Wendy's in the window pane
Crying Texas sizes pain
Tears of rain get on the train

The Final Frontier
David Ehrgott May 2016
Bury me in Alaska
My dear old friend
It won't be in vain
It's how I wish my life to end
  
Grind up my remains
And feed it to the bears
There, in Alaska
Not someplace colder
  
Not in Aroostook
Not in Maine
Bury me in Alaska
It won't be in vain

When?
David Ehrgott Jun 2016
Walking down the street today
The people look so cold
They have to hurry on their way
No time to share one's soul

Some push and shove, start bickering
Forgetting why we live
It's only competition now
Nothing else means anything

We must win the fight fight fight
It means everything
We have not time to shake one's hand
nor listen to them sing

When did we forget to love
our brothers and our friends (?)
The world has turned so sickening
When will it ever end

Doubts
David Ehrgott Feb 2016
How can I ?
Should I go against my principals?
Throw everything to the wind?
Kiss me again
Does it make it all go away?
or did it make it stay?
I run to you
Crash hard, then fall
Should I blame you for my bruises?
Do you treat people the way that they treat you
or the way that you would like to be treated?
I thought that they were friends
Kiss me again
Did it make it all go away?
or does it make it stay?

It's so peaceful here in your world
I wish I was born here
and lived in its tranquility
Oh! but you don't know the trials and
tribulations I had and the sufferings of
what you ignore
You fear reality, to hide from its honesty
I only wish to show you what's there
I meant you no harm
still you censure my words!

Magic Words
David Ehrgott Aug 2015
Is there a way I could end my existence
And try once, to live again
It's not like I couldn't use your assistance
or ask you to do something like sin

I'm just afraid, I've been burnt, by so many
I don't need another ******-friend
Never trust a politician honey
Never trust a politician's friend

If you ever feel like making music
I would let you borrow all my pens
Sorry, all my guitars are broken
And I haven't any money for a set

I wonder if there was a cool way to say it
My hands wouldn't be trembling
I never could handle, hey I erased it
What's the magic words again

'Cause I know please and maybe some others work
But, I haven't any in my pen
I know it's too late to say sorry
But that even isn't one of them

I'll try to write down the magic words
Now, tell me, if you think of them
I had them written down, all of them
This can not really be the end

I'm sorry I must of just got lost here
Direct me where to meet again
I know I'll find those magic words
They're here somewhere, Maybe in my other pen

Look at that!  Erased again!  How'd that happen?
What is really happening
I thought that we were more than friends
Is there something wrong between your ears?

I'm looking for those magic words
There!  I found them.  I thought it would be easier
There goes my old condition called nervousness
I hope it doesn't turn you off again

The looks that you've been giving lately
Has it have to do with him
I thought we had something special here
A condition free experience

There goes my eraser again
It happened to me once again
A smudge spot smeared by all its might
There'll be a lot of lonely nights again
There'll be a lot of lonely nights again

So break me out another beer my friend
Because we're going to have plenty of time
She left me for good this time she said
Because I wanted to live again
I wanted to live again
That's all.  I wanted to live again

All Fall Down
David Ehrgott Jun 2016
She's way too young
But, I still want her
Never felt a warmer softer soul
I love the way she vampire bites me
Maybe not the dark' eternity though

And Romeo's going to muscle her away from me
I'd like to see him try
I'd send him to the moon; he'd fly
I guaranty a fight

I never loved one more, ayem
so that's the irony
The one I love more than any other
Could be the true-heart..death of me

And Romeo want's to dance with her
Well, my feet are tired
So it's better her than me
Maybe keep the peace

... or give it a fight

for life

Road Kill
David Ehrgott Feb 2016
They don't think twice
About shattering lives
One has a badge
The other has stardom
Another thinks trash and
Then backs into bar bums
The heartache they've caused
The terrible ruin
How can they live with
Themselves and the suing
The other side bleeds
With torment forever
And makes the most out
Of pointless endeavors
The victims are gone
Or forever in pain
How can those three know
The hurt that they've made

Curiosity
David Ehrgott Apr 2016
A worm wanted to know what it would be like
to rise above the filthy dirt in which he wallowed.
So, he climbed and climbed, inching his way to the top.
Finally sticking his head above ground. He was able to
smell the green grass and see the blue sky. Moments
before becoming breakfast, er, then bird splat.

One Sad Story
David Ehrgott May 2016
Their hands were so fast
as they waved goodbye.
We thought he'd be a good guy.
Why were we so high?
  
It was gone before he got there.
There wasn't any money left.
Nothing left for health care,
except for over there.
  
They called it a bailout.
Look closer!  They're not bailing, they're buying!
We'll save you IF, you let us own you.
Give us a piece and we'll keep you from dying.
  
No, No, No!  It's nothing like that.
You can still practice capitalism.
Just give us a piece.  You hear?
China has been living that way for years.

I never knew a thing before
And now I
Hear the ocean's roar
I hear the
Clatter of your
Footsteps
But keep going
And I see
A road that
Never ends
And it floats
It could learn
But
It just lies there
In the sun
Like a lizard
Gathering warmth
And our minds, Hazel
They
Gaze into each other's peepers
And
Become one
And
The answers
Become wordless

Would let me know where heaven is
That is in front of your glistening

Last Name Deleted
David Ehrgott Dec 2015
Cathy tried to make me her puppet again
Again and again I just laughed in the end
  
Kathy said don't use me boy
You're gonna get it in the end
Never try to use my name again
You never were one.  Press send
  
I hate you people.  You capitalist
Using us to get ahead
Isn't it time to grow up now
or maybe just go to bed
  
Oh, here comes another one
Country man learning to turn his head
Comparing himself to history
She's cheering him on instead
  
Stop that!  Using my name she cried
I never want to hear it again
You're only trying to capitalize
Before we lend it out again
  
Isn't it funny, how one kissing cousin
Can lie, then claim I don't exist
The other one spits after she benefits
Stating, "only if he is still rich."
  
Black man, white man, both in chains
The government tightened its grip
Some day, some way, they will still explain
Why they work us 'till we still slip
  
Sip another shot of this one, dear
We can use the cash from it
Even though we know the end is near
We can not forget what's said

when you need love
be with me , love

Devil Or Machine
David Ehrgott Dec 2015
There is a ******* Central Park South
Near Mantle's
I call her Satan
She can fly to the west coast
in about twenty minutes
It makes your stomach turn
She's some kind of a demon
or a government project
It's been usurping me since 1973
And I get so tired of it
If it was human
Then, how does it turn into a pinball
How does it break my window
Then, put it back
And why can't I remember her name
Lot's of people know her
She takes care of animals
She shows them she cares
She turns into that steel ball
And puts me into air
Like at the Predators game
Against Tampa at Orlando in '02
or Rutherford Day in '04
Wish this government project would leave me alone
Wish this devils' daughter would just stay home
I showed her to all my "friends"
But, they can't see her
She is real though
They have felt her hand
She pays my friends to make disguises
Then climbs in them
My friends come back from the dead
She taunts me that way
Then destroys me again
Anybody know her?
