Grocery Store Blues
David Nelson Oct 2011
Grocery Store Blues

gotta get on down get me some milk and bread
maybe some relief for this pain in my head
getting banged in the cart by this old blind broad
and those winey little kids shows my patience is flawed

slipped on a banana in the produce isle
twisted my ankle and fell into a pile
of baking taters we're all rolling on the floor
this goofy assed clerk saying what you do that for

got them grocery store blues
got them grocery store blues
I hate going but Im out of meat
my pantry is empty and I gotta eat

need some pickles and mustard and toilet paper too
crap I broke my glasses so also need some glue
knocked over a bottle of Gin now there's broken glass
everyone looking at me thinking look at that ***

now where are the toothpicks they're not on the chart
geez what's that smell did somebody ****
they're out of my smokes my favorite brand
like to give the check out dude the back of my hand

got them grocery store blues
got them grocery store blues
it's such a big hassle but what can I say
can't live on Big Macs every single day

Robin Hood's Ball
David Nelson Oct 2011
Robin Hood's Ball

there is a stretch of land
built by ancient calloused hand
4000 years before the year of the Lord
just north of Stonehenge in that accord

and nearly one thousand years before
on Salisbury Plain and right next door
a part of Wiltshire England town
and shares a name of the renown

folklored bandit who helped the poor
though no real connection of that they're sure
it's purpose of use not really very clear
a neolithic causewayed enclosure here

a circuit of ditches encasing each on the sides
meeting in the center for a gathering of tribes
built in the transitional period before the pyramids
from hunter gatherers to permanent settle with kids

Cantante Domino

Cantante Domino

lift your head in song
everyone is right
still everyone is wrong
reaching for the truth
in hope to set us free
but is it truth you see
explanations and opinions
they are like all flaws
every being has one
unless you are witness
to the beginning
and which one is the real one
is there really no beginning
is there really no end
so lift you head in song
sing your praises of the Lord
what you believe
is your truth

The Gathering
David Nelson Oct 2011
The Gathering

they came from the east
they arrived from the north
searching for the warmth of the gulf breezes
snow already covered most of them
a few hours in the southern sun
they would show more pink than Floyd
broken or injured in need of repair
like Jon Bon living on a prayer
smiling faces waiting to die
some just sit, stare or cry
they come here every year
in hopes of finding youth
only to find another year has gone
they'll drink their scotch and bourban
and sing songs to each other out of key
laugh at **** they never actually heard
pretending their hearing still works
guess that's why they sing so bad
how in the hell can they know
come early spring they reload
and start the reverse trek
they wave goodbye and throw kisses
I wonder if they will return
or be collected into the new world
a new and different gathering

A Fragment of my Imagination
David Nelson Oct 2011
A Fragment of my Imagination

a mere product of mental invention
a true democratic for the good of all
what a whole new world of wondrous convention
if everyone stood and heard the call
not what is in it for only the me
but what is best for every creature we see
a balanced world of arm in arm
no shoulders of cold or thoughts of harm
no billionaires or legions of poor
but no free rides either each playing a part
never a taxman knocking on your door
a vision of peace right from the start
no borders kept locked a true melting ***
soldiers not needed because never a war
medical breakthroughs and discoveries so hot
our own personal challenge of raising the bar
no seperation of religion or color or ***
our leaders true leaders egos checked at the door
working together nothing too complex
caring for our earth our dogma of core
how long must we argue battle and fight
when will we at last get something right
John Lennon and Jesus cried give peace a chance
reach our hands to each other sing and dance
what could we possibly actually lose
for thousands of years we've proved the current theory
has done nothing at all but make us sad and weary
  when will we finally be finished paying our dues

Masturbación Política

Look! there is nothing up my sleeve
I can bob and weave
it's not a lie if you believe
oh so you're looking for the facts
my play has many more acts
take a seat and just relax
I can promise you one thing
in the end everyone will sing
I'll mesmerize you with my bling
I'll pull the rabbit from the hat
while me and my buddies get fat
wipe my feet on your welcome mat
yes we love using slight of hand
pleasuring ourselves is very grand
we leave our fluids on the sand

Bad News Sucks
David Nelson Oct 2011
Bad News *****

I received news today that really really *****
although not totally unexpected I know
circumstances beyond our control is what we say
isn't that what we always say when we don't know

the end has come and the end has gone
and I sit her now searching for the truth
I mean a much deeper truth about you about me
should I be in search of a confessional booth

where I had settled into a way of acceptance
a spark emerged that breathed in new life
dancing had once again become real super cool
but part of the chorus removed with a carving knife

now the damage has been limited in part
and disaster control has taken an interest
the team will regroup and come here often
even though that might not really be the best

my mind will wander from time to time
past old McDill for the upteenth reoccurance
the object may one day be spotted found again
but I may have to accept total disappearance    

on to other projects I hope to fill me up
old baseball gloves and even some hockey pucks
but looks like another stretched and sprained ligament
dam all I can say is boy Bad News *****

Box of Dreams
David Nelson Oct 2011
Box of Dreams

for one short moment, I could close my eyes,
pretend it was me up on that stage
for one short moment, I was the one they applauded,
the one causing all the rage

my music pure sweetness to the ears,
creating visions limited only by
the imagination of the roaring crowd,
wondrous moment, makes one want to cry

I have often dreamed how that would feel,
to do the thing I love so much
one of several things in this box
wishing that I could find that special touch

I think everyone at some time or other,
looking up to gold moon beams
wish that they could just this once,
release something from thier box of dreams

Crossing Lines

Crossing Lines

don't cross that line
don't let the colors blend
keep it on the straight and narrow
if you want to be my friend

my painting is sloppy
a stick man is my very best
trying to keep the lines from blurring
tears of failure fall on my chest

never meant to make it hard
no decision should be required
sorry if I made it so **** complicated
but your kisses or so desired

can't say I'm a beautiful mess
but I sure am loosing my balance
forgot to tell you crossing over lines
is one of my special talents

you'll have to forgive me
if I tell you that you've made me fall
staying within the lines no longer my goal
I guess it would be wrong for me to call

Insufficient Evidence
David Nelson Sep 2011
Insufficient Evidence

I tried to have you arrested
I called the cops and feds
I told them you had stolen my heart
since then I've been on meds

they asked me for positive proof
there could be no doubt
you can't just make a claim
I don't care how much you shout

I said hey take a look at me
my face is red my breathing very short
I'm nervous as an expectant father
now where do I file this report

do you have any pictures
just how will we know
I bet she is beautiful huh
her smile has a special glow

are you kidding me my friend
she is the queen for all seasons
she takes away my breath
and her beauty confounds my reasons

I know she will drive me mad
so now I'm pleading my defense
it looks serious so don't tell me please
I have Insufficient Evidence

Rat Farts

Once again me and my baby have split
now I'm all alone and feeling like doodoo
Im bettin' for sure you thought I'd say ****
can't talk like that when I'm wearin' my tutu

the Doobies in the background rockin' it out
smoked one myself now at least I am writing
stuffing my face with my homemade sour *****
next on my jukebox is a song 5 for fighting

I usually can find a good way to ***** up
too often my mouth gets in the way of my brain
I once stood in front of the asylum with a cup
trying to convince everyone that I was insane

one more hit should make the trip complete
crap, now I spilled a bowl of chili on my shorts
sitting here staring at the warts on my feet
another trip to the doc what can I say but rat farts

Babydoll
David Nelson Sep 2011
Babydoll

let me see if I can explain
this heavenly creature running thru my brain
she spins my head in  constant circles
from pie faced smiles to tears of rain

a heart touched by a golden finger
thoughts of her constantly linger
late at night while I probe these keys
thoughts of a church's mass bell ringer

from out of nowhere she did appear
whispering words into my ear
hairs on my neck rise and stand
creating thoughts so very clear

sometimes I think of Raggety Ann
with maybe a touch of Peter Pan
she takes me into this fantasy world
but she is real and makes me feel like a man

closing my eyes I can see her smile
I long to hold her for a such a long while
feel her warmth wrapped in my arms
her voice on my heart's lone speed dial

yes I am one incredibly lucky guy
my head soaring so way up high
there is nothing quite like my babydoll
these words I've written tell you why

Sultan of Swing
David Nelson Sep 2011
Sultan of Swing

He was a rocker and a roller, always had a plan
loved beautiful women, yes he was a full-blooded man
drove a fast fancy car, had plenty of bucks
when times went bad, he'd just say "aw shucks"

a great attitude, he cared about the world
tried giving his time, as causes unfurled
gave freely his money, and offered his mind
yes he was a prince, always so kind

music was his calling, his goddess of life
more passionate with notes, then most with their wife
he would listen and play, and lift his voice to sing
happy dancing feet, he was the Sultan of Swing  

whenever a cloud, would pass in front of the Sun
he took it as a challenge, a reason for some fun
a happy little tune, would somehow appear
he would whistle and hum, until resolution was near

rock tunes were great, loud cruising guitars
he'd play anywhere, on the street or in bars
making people smile, was his favorite thing
jazzy dancing feet, he was the Sultan of Swing

David Nelson Sep 2011
No way Jose

sitting at the stop light racing my engine real loud
looking in my rear view mirror waiting for the next sucker
pipes bellowing a cracking sound drawing attention

everyone was staring I had attracted a rather large crowd
this dude pulls up next to me a kiss I throw as my lips I pucker
there was no doubt  a good *** kicking was my intention

he raced the engine of his helpless piece of crap
thinking he would impress me with his guile
he had no idea who he was messing with poor *******

the light turned green and the fire belched a thunder clap
screaming off the line leaving burnt rubber in a pile
this look of horror on the goofballs face my reflexes so mastered

as he faded to the background becoming a mere dot
I was keenly engrossed my mind so focused eyes transfixed
there was not a chance in hell no none not this day      

I chuckled to myself as I cruised to the next challenging spot
there was not going to be any caring today no emotions mixed
looking in my mirror once again no not today no way Jose

N.H.O (near human object)
David Nelson Sep 2011
N.H.O (near human object)

most of us have heard of the NEO -
a near earth object that can have affect
all of us should be concerned you know
will the wounds inflicted be glancing or direct

I mean an orbiting body can suddenly drop
and cause considerable damage to the brain
this body can be cold at times make your heart stop
usually warm but can still crush you like a train

oh but I'm speaking of this lady over there
almost every time I see her I can hear her purr
I mean a celestial body with goodies to spare  
can make your eyes swell and your tongue grow fur

yes though we have never met I always sigh
I can feel the gravity pull me to go so near
her smile delivers a direct hit to my heart no lie
my heart and I will be casualties I fear

though no one else on Earth will even ever know
the voice inside my head tells me to scream
her face has created an eclipse of heavenly glow
to be with her would fulfill my dream

I've always been enamored with things in space
the unknown thought has captured my soul
this story has been told another time another place
another orbiting body has capture me whole

Fire and Ice

the temperature is rising I feel I'm fading fast
just not really sure how much longer I can last
the heat is so intense sweat pouring from my brow
but I'll keep on running can't pass this baton now

dam my hands are freezing how did it get so cold
seems like only moments past guess I'm getting old
chills run down my body make me shiver and shake
I just don't understand this guess I made a big mistake

my mouth is completely parched I am desert dry
things change so rapidly with a blink of the eye
first I'm hot and them I'm cold what am I to do
is this a change of life that I am going through

where are my gym shorts get me a sweater now
so dam hot I'm freezing I'm about to have a cow
I'll never understand this what is the final price
I go from hell and back again between this fire and ice

Out Behind the Barn
David Nelson Sep 2011
Out Behind the Barn

me and Jimmy Dickens
were in the barnyard feeding chickens
we were both 11 about that time

when up the road came Susie Kasper
with her cousins Ted and Jasper
a couple of teens headed for a life of crime

they signaled out to us
I could hear Teddy cuss
they walked up and whipped out a couple of butts

they said here take a puff
if you like this I got better stuff
so I did just like a dumb old klutz

I coughed and I wheezed
I farted and then I sneezed
my eyes were leaking like a sieve

Jimmy was smarter I guess
but he too finally said yes
took a hit and felt the burn of a shiv

we both puked as they laughed
it was there very special craft
they always managed to make you look like a fool

but they patted us on the backs
said boys now just relax
you won't learn a lesson like this in no school

then Susie gave me a big wet kiss
wow sure wasn't expecting this
I was in a trance until I heard this horn

it was my mom back from the store
she yelled someone help me with this door
but I was busy gettin educated out behind the barn

Shout
David Nelson Sep 2011
Shout

When your head's in a funk
if you smell a dead skunk
when goosed by an elephant's trunk

when your money is spent
ate cheeseburgers during lent
don't know where your life went

shout

if your lover has split
left you in a childish fit
you're so mad you could spit

you hear the same song and dance
from politicians there's not much of a chance
changes will come with that stance

just shout  

if your skin is getting wrinkled
your hair with gray is getting sprinkled
not sure when's the last time you tinkled

if you forgot where you were headed
those final exams so dam dreaded
St. Pete's approval you've so fretted

you need to shout

maybe someone will hear
before you disappear
your cries so clear

not ready to say goodbye
buy a new bottle of dye
spike your hair up real high

and shout

Lost

a piece now has gone the passion now is lost
replaced with hollow words from my lips
maintaining was just too much too high a cost
and now I feel from my grasp it slips

words that we all know too well in this life
pain, sorrow, emptiness, frustration, strife,
friend, madness, insanity, greed, pathetic, sad,
numbness, right, wrong, thoughtless, bad

uninspired with empty thoughts of where I go
feeling seasons change winter's chill and frost
time will somehow repair this heart I know  
now I am plain and simple,  just completely lost

They Call Me Jelly

well the feast hasn't even started yet
and already my gut hurts bad
should have never taken that bet
50 hot dogs is a lot for a lad

I stuff my face on a regular basis
a dozen eggs and a slab of bacon
people stare can't believe their faces
how many donuts have I now taken

got me one of those empty legs
I can stuff a lot inside my belly
guess I might be just a little fat
I suppose that's why folks call me Jelly

but tomorrow's the day when I'll put it away
taters and pies and turkey and peas
I'll stuff my face all **** day
hey that's my roll excuse me please

yes I bounce when I jog to the next turkey leg
get out of my way or I'll run you over
save me some dessert I plea and I beg
after this pie a whole box of Russel Stover

yeah I'm fat but I really don't care
kind of sleepy now guess I'll sit and watch some telly
an apple pie or maybe even a pair
guess that's why they call me Jelly

Fractured Fairies

the stalk was tall but Jack climbed high
they said he was looking for a golden goose
but the giant wasn't keen on him getting by
he caught the little brat and kicked his caboose

old mother Hubbard lived in a shoe
she had lots of sole and a rather large tongue
her old man was proficient in kung foo
when she bent over he kung foo'd her ****

Alice lived in wonderland she was constantly high
her and that crazy rabbit eating mushrooms wild
they looked into the looking glass and my oh my
they both had golden locks so neatly styled

once upon a time there were three bears
they couldn't eat the pourage on their first attempt
they shaved their bodys except for their ***** hairs
found out they were Jewish and now verklempt

little Miss Muffet sat on tuffet eating her curds and whey
along came a spider and sat down beside her
and she stomped him good put a crimp in his day

Mary had a little lamb what a big surprise
the doctor's scratched their heads in disbelief
they just couldn't even believe their eyes
but when old McDonald had a farm good grief

Get out of Dodge

well pardner I guess it's time
think I heard that school bell ring
they're playing tunes to a nursery rhyme
and I wasn't even asked to sing

the writing is clearly marked on the wall
<---- this way out you silly fool
you're the one left standing at the ball
no dance partner and that ain't cool

did you really think that this would work
you need to see the limits in your dreams
now everyone thinks that you're a ****
tired of hearing your yells and screams

so get out of town while the gettin's good
before someone decides to shoot you down
the horse you're riding is made out of wood
you can try your luck in some other town

the Marshall is coming he's bringing a rope
the posse all gathered in a huge hodge podge
they know that you are the one who's a dope
it's time for you to get out of Dodge

Every Story Tells a Picture

concerned mother scolding her child
the roaring of the crowd gone wild
the melting sun setting into the sea
an old drunk in the bushes taking a ***

a weeping soldier sitting on his helmet
standing in line waiting for a permit
pitching a tent in a national park
searching for your dog in the dark

migrant workers tending a garden
prisoner of the state pleading for a pardon
solar flares lighting up the sky
licking your lips for that apple pie

city workers digging up the street
marathon runner with blisters on her feet
working the formula in an algebra class
sipping wine from a long stemmed glass

walking the streets looking for a job
toothless old man eating corn on the cob
loosing your home to a banker of greed
growing your future from a single seed

climbing a mountain  all the way to the top
keeping the faith until you're about to drop
going out in a blaze of glory
you can find a picture in every story

Once Upon a Time
David Nelson Sep 2011
Once Upon a Time

things in this world can be hard at times
sometimes things just don't make any sense
finding things that make a perfect match
sometimes are just on the other side of the fence

I know the odds of real true happiness
can be so difficult to find it seems
in fact I think to most of us
this only happens in fairy tales and dreams

we search and search looking under stones
we look into the heavens in vain
around the corner behind the bush
it seems like this idea is so insane

but we always wonder if not out loud
at least inside can we find the Rosetta stone
then when you least expect a chance
you know there is no one to share the throne

suddenly from out of nowhereland
the fairytale you have built inside your mind
appears in front you rub your eyes
that's how it feels once upon a time

all the times you made me happy
all the times you made me laugh
won't somebody slap me

get my head out of my ****
it's way too dark to see
inside there is not a pretty place
won't somebody slap me

need a ****** cranial inversion
or some other thing to make me see
need another type of diversion
won't somebody slap me

count my blessings one by one
should take a day or three
find some happy tunes in my jukebox
won't somebody slap me

do the hokey pokey turn myself around
give out some kisses they're free
make a positive statement
won't somebody slap me

stand on the corner with a tin cup
got something to hide me and my monkey
well at least now he's off my back
won't somebody slap me

the sunflower made my garden smile
too bad it had to fade away from me
need to plant new seeds of my own

Broken
David Nelson Sep 2011
Broken

parts get worn out sometimes from overuse
sometimes they just rust away from no attention
they will break if left unattended or subjected to abuse
that is why most things will come with some direction

a dab of oil and occasionally cleaned right
can prevent you from having to worry or fret
won't be waking you up in the middle of the night
with squeaky strange sounds making you sweat

a broken heart is of course another matter
there are no instructions and no guarantees
most lubricants for this will only make you chatter
and eventually bring you down to your knees

why is this the way things are way to often
words never said or sometimes misspoken
add another nail to your hearts coffin
why did we come with a heart so easily broken

Another Day

well another day has come and gone
and thoughts of you
still linger in my mind

it is so hard letting go
after all this time
just so hard

glances we have exchanged
sometimes angry
most times with love

we never did really
never totally understood
what it was all about

it was a about the beauty I think
the beauty of you
the beauty of life

the thought of you
will always be there
pictures of your smile ever present

I will see your face
reflecting in raindrops
as well as in my tears

I will miss your touch
if I close my eyes tightly
maybe I will feel you

I hope the dream is true
we will all meet again
in another way

the circle of life
goes on into infinity
colliding with stars

how many times
have I completed this circle
and how many more

scary stuff huh
we don't have any real clue
or do we

you seemed to have a clue
I always felt you knew something
and you wouldn't share it with me

you were tricky that way
I'm gonna miss you
I'm really gonna miss you

wow all these heavy thoughts
and know what
tomorrow when I wake up
it's just Another Day in the Circle

The music stops

in the background I can hear the tune
a melody that makes my mind wander
it's too bad but I find that all too soon
my knees and feet begin to flounder

the beat has faded and I struggle
trying to dance when the music stops
the words were plain so close I snuggle
then suddenly spinning like tiny tops

did I forget to insert another dollar
was the plug accidently pulled loose
it's like someone grabbed my by the collar
crawl back into my hole like a recluse

I try to remember the magic words
the ones that made the music play
musical notes from singing birds
but just like that they fly away

a constant mystery how it comes and goes
maybe it's my imagination sprinkling mystic drops
but why do I seem to stand on the tips of my toes
like a ballerina after the music stops

Impossible
David Nelson Sep 2011
Impossible

some things you just can't do
I don't care how hard it is you try
like seeing a planet deep into the blue
there's just not enough power in your eye

or simply fly without some help
and I know we all wish that we could
landing hard would make us let out a yelp
even giving up things when we know we should

like changing from love to just a friend
pretending that everything is going so well
when the love we shared we know will never end
It's like we've been hypnotized with this magic spell

so we cover our hearts to protect us from the rain
and though we find this so uncomfortable we try
we know to well all about the anguish and pain
we cover up our hearts so that we won't cry

yes there are some things you just cant do
I'm proof it's just impossible to get it right
like waking up to find now you are 6 foot 2
when you were only 5 foot 7 just last night

I just got a message from the nurse
she said she heard my crying plea  
be sure to bring your wallet or purse
cause this is really gonna cost you see

everyone knows that you're a whiner
phobia should be your middle name
from Oregon to South Carolina
always looking for someone to blame

I can hear the banjos picking in my head
blowing tones from an old brown jug
forgot to take my meds I said
my pulse is quick I've caught a bug

we all know that you are really sick
but it's not a cold, cough or even the flu
you could make an appointment with just a click
you just want attention paid to you

but the doctor split left me here alone
to deal with things and I don't know how
shut you face and get off the phone
the love Doctor will see you now

Crime & Punishment

Crime & Punishment

you know the old saying about the price
the cost of pleasure is like the roll of the dice
words of caution, if you can't do the time,
if the cost is too much, then don't do the crime

when you are trying to correct an error
wanting to keep a love from fading away
committing continuous foolish blunders
is surely not the perfect way

when you make someone a promise
to respect the feelings in their heart,
you cant seccumb to your desires
if you truly want to remain a part

dam the fool who will not listen
who's selfish ways cause this love be spent
self inflicted wounds may bleed forever
for every crime, there is punishment

            where wonderful surprises appear
                  day after day I look inside
               to see what magic has arrived

              magic things that pull my strings
                     and help me to see clear
                    it is a strange day indeed
           when I look and find nothing inside

         mystical words and heavenly thoughts
                     sometimes perfect art
             music that does capture the ear
                     and send my soul aloft

           incredible views of natures beauty
                   that penetrates the heart
              gazing down on a beautiful face
                       with lips so very soft

                      today like any other day
                 I have rushed to peek inside
                 but this is one of those days
                 where disappointment grows

                   little of any consequence
                 or interest has me satisfied
               today the Magic Box is empty
                  I'm sure my sadness shows

               I suppose this is the realization
                that before was just a dream
            that magic only appears to those
                  that are looking for a star

              to wish upon and dream about
                   this digital super stream
               if the magic should reappear
                     I will secure it in a jar

I won't have to cry no more
David Nelson Sep 2011
I won't have to cry no more

If I never open my heart again
then I won't have to feel the pain
feel my tears like the falling rain

If I never love again
then I won't have to stay on guard
but will my heart turn too hard

If I never dream again
then I won't ever be left alone
will I no longer reach to be someone

If I never feel again
then I won't ever have to care
will I just sit here and stare

If nothing ever matters again
then no one can ever close my door
and I won't have to cry no more

Save the last Dance
David Nelson Sep 2011
Save the last Dance

I tend to dream when I am blue
and when I dream, I dream of you
a slow song playing throughout my head
holding you close, smelling your perfume

I wish I could make this dream come true
and dance all around the room with you
looking into your eyes so full of love
your scent like a garden filling my heart

I know that life can sometimes be a struggle
when its cold outside, with you I would snuggle
playing board games and listening to tunes
drinking warm tea and laughing loudly

I know other partners have danced before
you've held their hands and even more
those things don't really matter to me now
I dream that you save the last dance, for me

We Weren't Looking for Love
David Nelson Sep 2011
We Weren't Looking For Love  

we both came from large mid west cities
lot of things to do and a lot of places to go
somehow we both stumbled into this small town
there was no way that we could know

oh it was innocent enough as she passed by
she said hi and I smiled and tipped my hat
there was something though that caught my eye
it wasn't just her beauty it was more than that

oh she had beautiful grey eyes and long golden hair
with a gorgeous smile and a body that wouldn't quit
but it was like you could see inside her soul
her gentleness her calm I'll never forget

we met in the courtyard of this little village
and sometimes we would go to the cafe LaBlue'
I think because we were not looking for love
it came so naturally to us before we knew

we would hold hands and stare into the night
if I really wanted to see the entrance to her heart
I could look into her eyes and there it was
cupid hit me square with his love dart

I would write her poetry with words special for her
she was my beautiful **** gorgeous babydoll
her gift to me was I was able to taste her lips
she would nibble my ear and do this little growl

there were many things that made us a perfect match
if we disagreed she would smile and give me a shove
I would melt in her arms and beg for forgiveness
we fell so madly because we weren't looking for love  

if I were to die tomorrow it would be sad but still ok
because I met the love of my life and so few do
I will take the memory of her wherever I go
I look at her picture and say God I love you

Blink of the Eye
David Nelson Sep 2011
Blink of the Eye

it's amazing just how fast things can change
how you can go from the king of the world
to feeling like a person who is thought strange
not understanding how things got re-arranged

the fall from the top can happen so quick
you turn your head for just a brief moment
it's like someone has played a magic trick
you're left standing without a walking stick

I guess it's because you can be blinded by the light
like the proverbial deer frozen in time
you thought you were doing everything right
but eerie strange things happen in the night

you will never know all the things that pass by
while for just a moment you rest your weary soul
things can return so there is no reason to cry
yes lives can change in the blink of the eye

Separation Point
David Nelson Sep 2011
Separation Point

as I slam down another frosty one or two
trying to forget trying not to think about you
it's like the old Carly Simon song you're so vain
of course its about him you just said so very plain

by saying the words I'm trying not to think
makes it obvious that I am on the very brink
of wondering where my next move should go
the feelings cannot be denied I think you know

all the good intentions not withstanding now
there is no questions of why only ones of how
god now I'm listening to an annoying guitar lead
by Niel Young please stop now I really really plead

my nerves are on edge in case you can't tell
ran out of smoke days ago now Im in hell
and now it seems I have this hairless chest
I'm fumbling around making myself an obnoxious pest

where did I go wrong or has it always been this way
maybe I just didn't notice or refused you might say
to except the limitations of this dreary normal life
should have joined the colonial army and played the fife

just what is my point this thought might have occurred
I would explain it to you but I just can't think of the word
pour me another barkeep keep the golden nectar flowing
aw don't tell me that you think I really should be going

I know babe it's time for you to move yourself along
I wanna sing farewell to you but I can't remember the song
dam I sure wish I had me a bowl or two or a joint
I'm so afraid that I have reached the separation point

The Love You Make
David Nelson Sep 2011
The Love You Make

are you going to be in my dreams tonite
or is this the end of my Abbey Road
don't know why but these 4 lads have come to light
maybe they have come to ease my load

going back to my future looking for my past
did I really think this dream would linger
anything that was so beautiful surely would not last
the hornet has stung and left his burning stinger

the flowers have bloomed now the season is over
the fragrance slowly drifting away from my sense
the times we frolicked in the hay and clover
now looking over my shoulder as I climb the fence

wish I could be in more of a positive mind
but the baggage is getting to be a bit to much
no tricks left inside my magic hat can I find
I so terribly miss that special touch

I know what they said was true and right
about the love you give the love you make
but I am waiting for the sun to end this night
I selfishly wish I had more love that I could take

One More Day
David Nelson Sep 2011
One More Day

I know I said I closed the door
but being a fool even when I say
I don't want to cry no more
what I would give for just one more day

but that would only make it worse
cause after that day has gone away
guess the next line of the verse
yes I would ask again for one more day

round and round it would never end
have to go when I really want to stay
it's real bad when you fall for a friend
how can you not want just one more day

things sure turned out to be a mess
it's hard to walk when you have feet of clay
but you know I must confess
all I can think about is one more day

if I were snowbound I would have an excuse
then you could not just turn me away
the only plan that you could deduce
would be for me to be here one more day

if I just sit and watch and make no sound
if I bow my head and begin to pray
you could pretend I was from the lost and found
then I could stay one more day

Man Overboard
David Nelson Sep 2011
Man Overboard

the storm was well observed
you could see it in the distance
signs of discourse obvious
there was way too much resistance

the skies were turning hell fire red
serpent seas thrashing at the sides
visibility extremely limited in his head
prepare for oncoming tides

batten down the hatches matey
set the main sail in it's proper place
rocking to and fro sickness coming on
taking on excessive water splashing in his face

the bilge pump is out of order
sinking deeper by the moment
huge wave of discontent knocking now
increasing the internal torment

with a final fling of natures force
all this energy that was stored
flung him to his watery grave
sos came the call the man was overboard
  
hypothermia wont take to long
to settle in his aching heart
bitter cold words of his final song
tearing the canvas binding all apart

Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror

Hey you there, yes you, do you have a minute
I'd like to talk to you if you can spare some time
I have this situation I need to seriously discuss
it's about my true friend, I think I am committing a crime

hey, don't point that finger at me you ***
you are not guilt free buddy boy
and knock that smirk off that face before I do
you act like you bring nothing but joy

I mean you were that one that told her
yes you were the one that told her I love you
I know you think that is all you need to say
but what can you offer other than words you fool

you better come up with a much better plan
one that makes much more sense than that
another one who has the right has already asked
and all you do is offer her words, words in a chat

oh I don't have any doubt that you sincerely care
but your selfish ways have created a royal mess
do you think you can stand tall and display a pair
can you just back away, believe she won't think less

I think it is now perfectly clear your reasons for joy
you love her because she has expressed her love too
and you find that so dam hard to just let go
but we both know it's the only right thing to do

so Mirror Mirror on the wall reflecting that sad sad face
can you find the will to prove that you really care
you would think that between the two of you
one would find the courage, I double dare

Charges – Negative or Positive

The choices are plain and simple
like the site of a red swollen pimple
you can choose to take a negative charge
and just sit and watch that baby enlarge

on the other hand you surely can choose
to take a positive charge and find the sun
it's not necessary to continuously lose
bring your best smile and offer it to someone

you are sitting here inside of my mind
I'm searching for the right words to say
things just seem to get harder everyday
I don't want to seem uncaring or unkind

so hook your heart up to a particle beam
I'm hoping you will chose a positron
the eyes that glow really turn me on
they curl my collar and make me steam

your voice in my ear I get like a drunken sailor
I can feel the charge believe me it is positive
you quicken my pulse even more Swift then Taylor
these are the things that make me want to live

so the circle goes round makes me so merry
sweet are your lips like a chocolate strawberry
the world is so perfect though we don't seem to know
any charge at all can make a positive glow

Bite my Tongue
David Nelson Sep 2011
Bite my Tongue

words sometimes flow from my mouth
that should never ever be spoken
cruel responses uttered viciously
cause I fear my heart has been broken

expectations set way too high
like a child I want more than my share
if I do not get my wish
I respond harshly like I don't care

deep inside my space filled thought
reaching out to cut so deep
how many years until I'm taught
how long before I finally sleep

without torment from my selfish heart
accepting it's not just about my need
until I learn to bite my tongue
my world will slowly crumble  from greed

Pretty Please with Sugar

Pretty Please with Sugar

I've hit the wall with my thoughts
words will no longer fill my head
now nothing there but doubts
things I have written you never read

you were my magical inspiration
you were the soul of my delight
I need you to be my Leda
I want to be your swan in the moonlight

I miss the fragrance of my Sunflower
I miss my babydoll and all her charms
I beg you pretty please with sugar on it
return to my waiting empty arms

I Surrender
David Nelson Sep 2011
I surrender

I wish it would have ended differently
I wish it would have been like the beginning
like a couple of high school kids
we were both so excited

I'm not sure the excitement ever left
it certainly didn't for me I know
but it changed we changed

I surrender all my thoughts
they still are about you

I surrender my lonely heart
it still misses you so bad

I surrender all my tears
they still fall for you

I surrender

Feeling Like a Man, Thinking like a Child

heart is searching for the answers
when it should be the brain doing the work
feelings of a grown wanting man
but a child's mind reaching thru the murk

rainbow's colors blinding the naked eye
living in a dreamscape of the future
throat goes desert dry as I begin to cry
in this grown up game of tug-of-war

like curious George wanting to know
swinging on this vine of aching love
questions should I stay should I go
looking up but nothing from above

never wanting to cause a bit of pain
looking for a sunbeam through the rain
I must be crazy have I gone insane
rose sunglasses and a pearl white cane

this piece of work cannot explain
the consequences that come to mind
if I do this wrong can I do this right
feeling like a man thinking like a child

Every time She Goes Away
David Nelson Sep 2011
Every time She Goes Away

you know I could make up a story
I could spread the icing really thick
make it sound like I have a real clue
about where my head is it's so thick

my analyst has left me on my own
to deal with this world of loony toons
so I can pretend to anything I wish
go out drinking all nite with some other baboons

write a letter to the King of the world
let him know my displeasure with my life
this isn't new territory for me you know
she had no business leaving me like a wife

I could always speak to her the absolute
she would never judge me or show me a frown
what did she expect walking away like that
knowing that I am nothing but a circus clown

It has happened before with similar results
just what is it she wants me to say    
I rant and rave and shake the rafters
I get so lonely, every time she goes away

Chubby Bellies

just what is the matter with matter that's dark
is it clandestine because it won't show it's face
but it seems to be everywhere that you look
especially if you look deep into space

the energy created is also quite dark
literally tearing gravity apart
I know this is really hard to explain
but won't you please have a look at my chart
  
if you look here at these many galaxy clusters
gravitational lensing is required to see
when you use the cosmic magnifying glass effect
there is a bulging middle to a large degree

more study is required they call it CLASH
cluster lensing and Supernova survey with Hubble
I gathered this info from space dot com

Poop Deck - rap
David Nelson Sep 2011
**** Deck

I got rubbery legs and a pain in the neck
sick to my stomach down on the **** deck

I'm rockin and rollin but there isn't a beat
trying so hard to just stay on my feat  

the waves or crashing high on the bow
my belly is groaning I sound like a cow

I bounce off the walls first left and then right
been doing the same thing all frigin night

***** bags are stuck to the walls
in the circles and in the halls

some folks are funny they're faces all green
beware of projectiles potatoes and bean

but I'll do it again I'll do it once more
if only I could open this GD door

put my head in the toilet give it a flush
boy that tastes bad where is my tooth brush

yes the seas were high but I was out flat
couldn't sign on couldn't even chat

what's that on the floor aw man what the heck
now I know why they call it the **** deck

Chaos
David Nelson Sep 2011
Chaos

look up to the sky the cloud formations random choice
look out at the sea the waves breaking without routine
look at the people walking by in such a heavy rush
everything around seems to be total and complete chaos  

but patterns exist everywhere in our sometimes frantic lives
from the beginning of this world to the end of all time
just that we don't have a million spare years to observe
how nature, God's child, repeats herself over and over

but have you ever thrown a pebble into a stream
and observed the beautiful pattern of ripples
what may appear as chaos is in fact total rhythm
that someone like Tchaikovsky could turn into a thing of beauty

these patterns will repeat themselves over and over
the human being will also create patterns in their life
what again may seem as total chaos, and well might be
it is in fact more likely that it is a repeat of a previous action

so though we might think of results as total randomness
more than likely it is a result of complete repetition
love, hate, tolerance, aggression, denial, apathy
the patterns of our lives, our world, is anything but chaos
