Flashers

Everyone knows how to spot one of these
with their raincoats on down to their knees
walking thru the park with their roamin eyes

or is it the cute blonde sitting at the bar
cruisin the roads with her convertible car
pull next to her and she'll show ya her thighs

he'll walk up to you with a big old smile
open it up and stand there a while
and say "hey there" just what do you think

she'll give you a smile make you think you're the one
might get a chance to put your weinner in her bun
she's so hot and believes her **** don't stink

well they're both disappointments not really much there
his dongs probably short as if you would really care
she's just playing with your hungry heart

yeah he pretends that he's so well endowed
likes to show himself off to a crowd
they're both phony phuckers from the start

Flatulent Franky

Flatulent Franky now he is a hoot
every other minute he has to toot
doesn't really matter where or when
he'd run and hide in the bushes or den

clouds of blue clouds of green
clouds of every color you have ever seen
his face of red just added to the chart
people would gather just to hear him ****

shock waves tidal waves and waves in the stands
people were standing clapping their hands
but then run away fast run like hell
trying to stay far ahead of the smell

some brought masks prepared for the gas
the odor emanating out of his ***
he tried Pepto Alkaseltzer and Pepcid AC
but all they did was make him have to ***

there just didn't seem to be any kind of fix
sure wasn't helpful in picking up chicks
if he lasted five minutes without a blowout
he'd do a small jig and let out a shout
  
poor old Franky haven't seem him in years
last I heard he had ruptured his ears
from the explosion last year it was on the news
at a gas station they're still searching for clues

Flawed Hypothesis

I know she was the one
she had the most to gain
reaching down to touch the fallen soul
bleeding from the mouth
at the bottom of the stairs

she would inherit the winery
she would now be rich
have it all to herself
she had revenge in her heart
he had stolen it from her family

but the wine master seems strange
very nervous for an innocent
and his mustache looks crooked
I don't think it's real Neal
You're right Sherlock  

and what about that boyfriend
he could marry her if she inherited
that slicked back black hair
something is not right there
the way his lip curls

what about that store magnate
wanting to purchase his land
and that scar on his right hand
smooth talker if ever there was
his suit must have cost 2 grand

maybe they all had a hand
but I still think its Muriel
those tears just don't seem real to me
not the way that she should be
so I am thinking it is her for me

she looks guilty to me boss!

Flied Lice

she walk on hallowed glound
feet not touching down
whispeling sacled chants
to no one in palticulal
clashing down the sounds of violence
the echos of the voices linging
leaching over the liver to the folest
the encampment of wild eyes
watching the sky fol a signal
a signal of victoly
the dinnel has been plepaled
bling you chop sticks
hoolay for flied lice

Flight of the Eagle

the eagle soars above so totally free
doesn't have the need to be attached
heart is open to every thought and idea
man does not seem to know this freedom
inwardly or outwardly
at least not on this earth
the mind understands this concept
and tries to build an outside world
invent a future liberation of the soul
can the mind be actually and totally free
free from dependance, fear, anxiety
conscious and unconscious
I have felt the eagle trying to escape
the boundaries I have placed
my pleasures my pain my fears
the eagle is fleeing and taking flight

Morpheus...
we all wish to soar - soar with the eagles

FOGHAT

it's been a long slow ride
with the wind at my sails
the thick moisture of the night
the memory prevails

like a summer's ballgame
on another rainy day
I was born for the road
you were born to fly away

I pleaded for your silky touch
you quickly pulled my mind
no matter what words I used
I couldn't make you find

to remain here at my feet
any other reason
the months flew past my heart
season after season

and now you have returned
for just a while I know
I try not to cover up
afraid when you will go

Footsteps

following in the footsteps
the tradition to carry on
with bowed head of gratitude
for your namesake is in my soul
though I am not a warrior
or a king I will never be
a musician and poet I claim
these gifts you gave to me
I wish I had the wisdom
that you passed on to Solomon
or the courage to slay my Goliath
but I will never be a prophet
or a champion of the people
and pray that I will never
shame the name that was given

Forbidden Lovers

kisses of fire
eyes all ablaze
we've taken our love
to a much higher phase

but we cannot touch
no we are not allowed
no exchanging glances
in a concert hall crowd

we speak of our passion
in a place called nowhereland
your grip so strong
upon my hand

keeping low out of sight
down below the covers
we must not be seen
we are forbidden lovers

Forgotten

we all have our moments
our highs and our lows
when everything is wonderful
then begins the woes
now this feeling of loneliness
has taken on control
the feeling of being forgotten
spiraling into this hole
there was this special one
who once brought new life and hope
who refreshed my life anew
washed my soul with loving soap
but things have changed and she has gone
even these words here feeling rotten
when will life ever play fair
it is hell feeling forgotten

For the want of a nail

I was so terribly lost inside my mind
there was no way out that I could find
I had a hammer but that was all
I needed more to build this wall

build this wall to keep the monsters out
then it wouldn't matter if I had doubt
they could not get me and pull me down
or laugh at me and call me a clown

I needed nails like a railroad spike
big long and thick the kind I like
but not even a 3 penny could I locate
and I can hear them coming they won't wait

I challenged them but they do not scare
I thinks it because they do not care
I tried hiding but it was to no avail
there was no wall for the want of a nail

so my losing battle to keep my wits
pounding on tables in anger fits
my body hard but my mind so frail
all for the want of a ****** nail

Four Skin and Seven Years Ago

When I was older
so much older than today
I needed everybody's help
in oh so every way

old shriveled shrunken parts
quite near the tombstone row
glassy eyed lawn dart throwers
never ever sitting on go

ghosts of Lincoln's Hillsborough
shrieking for their master
constant fear of letting go
their hearts beating ever faster
 
please bring me a piece of peace
throw fate to the wind
a sprinkling of my Fur Elise
only has she never sinned

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

Free Agent

well the final cuts have been made
I'm no longer part of the team
my talents no longer needed
but it was an incredible dream

I was likely out of my league
unable to stay the pace to keep up
my shortcomings finally showed clearly
still drinking from the old sippy cup

it was one hell of a ride
I still struggle to catch my breath
I had hoped this would last forever
last until my parting death

but you get exactly your deserving
now it's time to charge straight ahead
there are other teams still looking
for a capable body and head

I have lots of things to offer
so I will take my time to review
I am more than just a pretty face
what you get depends on you

Free Ride

put another quarter in the slot
the magic dancing horse has stopped
your forever dream has flopped
the nursery rhyme is over

pick yourself up shake off the dust
the world did not come to an end
but you can no longer pretend
there is still so much more

put one foot in front of the other
find a way to help your brother
you cannot save the entire world
but you can do your part

to live life there is some cost
just do not wander around feeling lost
give from your heart and soul
there is no such thing
as a free ride

Freud's Frantic Friends

Psychopathology
therapeutic techniques
free association
and tight **** cheeks
manic depression
afraid of my fate
you say it's okay
if I go ahead and *******
transference redirection
it's my daddy's fault
he was the one who told me
take the money from the vault
I can't stand up
but you say it's okay
I can blame someone else
for making me that way
it was a friend of a friend
that groped my crotch
it was his own dam fault
I stole his fancy watch
extreme hate rage and
parentification
general distrust
needs no elaboration
my mommy made me mean
so I take it out on you
cause you remind me of her
in everything you do
the way that you wiggle
when you go for a walk
I'm glad you stopped by
to have this little talk

FriginFrazzled

I hear the sounds of a loud cymbal crash,
now my teeth, or starting to gnash,
I'm friginfrazzled, that's what I am,
my nerves are on edge, my mind is like spam,
oh I am such a tortured soul,
just wanna go, climb in a hole,
tell everyone to pissupatree,
just quit screwin with me,
I offer my heart, and get kicked in the nutz,
maybe I'm, just a stupid old putz,
I guess I just expect too much,
poor little me, add another crutch,
I see the world, but no one sees me,
maybe it's time, for me to go free,
I seriously doubt, anyone would care,
finding me lifeless, in my long underwear,
or I can return, the way I arrived,
completely naked, all alone inside

From Father to Son

I told him he needed
his father around
but the real truth is
I needed him more
reflections of the end
had entered my mind
I needed to tell him
I loved him

the score of the games
no longer mattered
sharing our past
just spending the time
hoping to bring
some peace to my soul
wanting my Father to know
I loved him

hoping to reclaim
the dreams of a child
wishing to return
to the arms of my Father
one last hurrah
for peace and joy
from father to son

Frozen Rain

my tears are falling like frozen rain
my heart feels the cold it has spun

please forgive me my friend, my friend

Gambale

he comes from the land down under
a golden axe is in his hand
creating his centrifugal funk
all across his note drenched land

he completed his Italian job
sending everyone high fives
while schmoozing in the white room
high powered electric jives

Nunzia was by his side
he was his right hand man
except of course when making love
inside Lydia's love van

one of the great explorers
of this final wild frontier
like a crouching jaguar
keeping his mind so clear

the magical slinging weapon
faster than an arrow
the vibrations pierced through the skin
down inside the marrow

the thunder current crashing
this pathfinder with attitude
it was dawn over the Nullarbor
at crusing altitude

conducting naughty business
for all those who seek to hear
Kuranda is the place you'll find
his vision so perfectly clear

for his right of passages
a little charmer flying by
a present for the future
noteworker on a natural high

Games

that landed on the chalk mark
you could see all the way from here
but there is no actual field of play
the games are built on fear

it hit the very top of the net
and bounced and that isn't fair
but there is no hardened clay or grass
and there is no painted square

it landed west of the foul pole
just ask these people there
but there are few real spectators
and even fewer really care

it's when you pretend that you are real
and your thoughts are so sincere
then you vanish your heart safely tucked
so very far from here

games have been around for a very long time
they are as old as the human race
it's so hard to understand
when they're played right in your face

like you don't matter one little bit
hey so you'll never see me again
that makes it so easy to bend the rules
and I thought you were my friend

no peanuts popcorn or ******* jacks
not one single special prize
you feel quite fine lying to me
while you look right in my eyes

the first to score a touchdown
or the first to touch home plate
I sure hope you feel better now
you've closed the entry gate

so the games will continue on
a new town another face
you might tip your hat to the crowd
on your next trip to first base

what a beautiful day for a game, the sun is shinning, and the crowd is settling in. Hey beer man!

their bodies spinning
ever so close
loquacious meandering

don't make it serious
just let it be

Get Louie

Louie is bad guy
he's the **** of the earth
he's been causing trouble
since the day of his birth
nobody likes him
not even his mom
shoot him stab him
blow him up with a bomb

get Louie

he's a rotten cheat
and a ***** liar
when he was a kid
he liked setting kittens on fire
he'd trip you on the steps
thought he was funny
and when you weren't looking
he'd steal your lunch money

get Louie

his day will come
someone will do him in
a left to the gut
and a right to the chin
shoot at his feet
and make him dance
roll him in mud
and pull down his pants

get Louie

well the day has come
he finally met his match
they found him in the dirt
down by the strawberry patch
he was hog-tied naked
and gagged with a rag
and stuffed up his ****
was an American flag

we got Louie

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

Ghost Writers

the eerie darkened sky
the wind howling from the west

you can hear the horses hooves
pounding in the night

a full moon is in the backdrop
creating scary shadows on the wall

the great Owl's hoot warning
that danger is approaching

you slip out of your bed
slowly crawling to the open window

hoping that you see nothing
wishing you could see something

a crackel of wind swept branches
startles and you jump inside your skin

a scrolling appears across the western sky
Ghost Writers were here it says
Ghost Writers in the sky

Go Ahead, Ask Me

I was walking down the street just the other day,
when this gentleman stopped me right dead in my tracks.
he said he was wondering if he could inquire  
how the world got this way?
I told him this was quite a complicated question.
There were so many factors involved, it was impossible.
Let me grab my straw hat and dancing cane.  

Darfishy! Some music please. Maybe some razz matazz piano.
1 2 3 4

If you wanna know what times it is,
go ahead and ask me.
If you needed to know what day it was,
I would most surely reply.
Are you curious about stocks and bonds,
you may certainly inquire.
but the condition of this world,
please don't ask me why.

If you wanna know who sang that song,
go ahead and ask me.
If you want directions to the moon,
I'll point it out for you.
If you need to know the atomic weight,
of a cosmic ray bombarding .
But the conditions of this world,
nary one single clue have I.
So please don't ask me why.

Things just seemed to be more simple in the past,
but we had to make a change, we knew it wouldn't last.

If you wanna know the confetior',
go ahead and ask me.
I'll most glady sing it for you,
you just pick the key.
Where to find a grocery store,
on South highway 98.
just how the world got this way,
I'm totally cluless.
But go ahead and ask me why    
yes go ahead, ask me.

Go do your thing

thanks for stopping in were the words
that's what she said in her final message
just forget about me
go do your thing

go do your thing?
what the hell does that mean?
just forget the past 3 plus years
and go do your thing

was it really all that simple?
I know that it wasn't
our lives have changed dramatically
so I know it wasn't that simple

guess you just didn't know what to say
there was no easy way
there was only the hard way
go do your thing

but you see that is the problem
you are my thing

but I guess I must move on
some way
some how
go do my thing

Gods of Babylon

whilst Anu and Marduk smile from above
I pray Nabu lend me his skillful hand
Ea give me direction of the mind in love
Shamash bring to me the heart to understand

though I am a mere mortal with many faults
weaknesses of soul, mind and heart
please I beg open your heavenly vaults
and guide me on my journey's start

for I am in search of the divine truth
I seek your wisdom on bended knee
you are the gods of everything forsooth
give your approval and trust in me

Going in Circles

seems like I've been here before
is it deja vu or really something more
when I feel I have left my comfort zone
here I am again in the looking glass

is it me or just a figment of mind
searching everywhere trying to find
the road that leads me from the garden path
nothing changes only time will pass

the lady that has stolen my heart
she has a smile that sets her apart
but she only comes to me in my dreams
such an unsettling confusing morass

now here I am I have come back to begin
going in circles in a heart wrenching spin
one more time around the trap in my head  
have I reached my life's impasse

round and round and nobody knows
I wonder if my pain truly shows
going in circles will this ever end
one last swallow to empty my wineglass

what goes around does just that, it goes around.

Gold Digger

now I'm not saying she's a gold digger
but her hands are in my pants pants pants
and I'm thinking as far as I can figure
she's not asking me to dance dance dance

cause the only tune I can hear playing
is the one that's in my head head head
and she's not skinny but she keeps saying
honey I need some bread bread bread

only last week she was begging me
she's needing cash for her sister sister sister
in my pocket once again you see
surprised her hand isn't one blister blister blister

I tell her go away you fool
you're not coning me this time time time
then she cries saying I'm not cool
the way you treat me is a crime crime crime

that's a lie and you know it honey
I give you everything you need need need
but all you seem to want is my money
I'm not a turnip and I bleed bleed bleed

so I'm not saying she's a gold digger
but her hands are always in my pants pants pants
and I'm thinking as far as I can figure
she's still not asking me to dance dance dance

Goldilocks Paradigm

this soup is too hot this soup is too cold
this chair is too big this chair is too small
this bed is too soft this bed is too hard
this world is just right at least for most of us all

scientists say that we are lucky to be alive
that the forces of nature balanced just right
at least in this universe we manage to survive
a perfect balance of day and night

if the gravitational forces were stronger or more weak
if the temperatures were much hotter or cold
if the air was too thin or thick at its peak
all these essentials more valuable than gold

in the multi-universe theory this one is just right
blending all the cosmic ingredients just so to fit
for life as we know it with our imperfect sight
  these 3 fuzzy bears packed neatly in a kit

I try telling you stories of science that make sense
sometimes hard finding words meaningful that rhyme
words not about love or hate or feelings so tense
that fit nicely in the Goldilocks Paradigm

Goodbye Mr LePoet

I remember the days, when I made people happy,
coming up with lines, lines sometimes snappy

I remember the days, when I made people laugh,
hurting my back, trying to do a two-and-a-half

words were my friend, they talked to me,
I just wrote them down, so that everyone could see

sometimes funny, sometimes deep in thought,
making people dream, is what I always sought

somehow the words, have deserted my mind,
somewhere my heart, lost its way and cannot find

the will to carry on, when I know I'm causing pain,
these tears falling now, like a hard summer rain

My special Perly friend, who I made feel so so sad,
I broke the heart of the one I loved, the one I loved so bad

the garden will never ever be the same again,
and neither will Mr. LePoet

Good Morning, Good Nite, Goodbye

Well hello, good morning, I was hoping you would be here
how was your night, did everything work out like you planned
or did things turn out bad, did you realize your greatest fear
did you put your foot down, did you make that final stand

I know things have been a mess, I know I haven't been much help
no this was never my intention, to fall in love with you
but I didn't  see it coming, you made my heart just melt
before I could make sense to react, the bill was way past due

I know we've been down this road before, looking for a cure
to find the perfect salve or bandage for our aching hearts
but there just doesn't seem to be that answer so sure
the chemicals of love have infected all our thinking parts

well again we are left hanging, but it's time for me to go
so I will say good nite my love, hope your evening goes well
trying hard to avoid saying the thing that we both know
maybe tomorrow something magic will ring the crystal bell

we can only hope that we can dance just one more time
stay clear of those dreaded words that will make us cry
hold each other close never uttering the words that rhyme  
those terrible dreaded final words, I hate saying goodbye

Good Morning Kisses

I wake up in the morning
I can see her lying in her bed
the beauty of an angel
in her slumber
I know how lucky I am
to have her as a part of my life
then I see her open her eyes
and smile that smile
that makes this world a better place
she opens her arms
she opens her heart
and I melt
waiting anticipating wanting
her good morning kisses

Goodnight Mrs Calabash

I hope to see you again real soon
the time we spend together makes me smile
I try to keep it very simple with her
but I am in love with her all the while

it's just that I respected her man
he was a good friend of mine
and he only passed away barely a year
but I dream of her all the time

we go for long walks in the park
feed crumbs to the squirrels and ducks
stop for an ice cream soda or coffee
I barely spend a couple of bucks

her name is Melanie a beautiful name
but I have a hard time calling her that
I had known her and her husband Max
and given them a dog and a cat

we went to movies and dances together
for all of those many years
I would find me a date to bring
maybe stop on the way home for beers

I never had married don't know why
just didn't seem to be my thing
sometimes we go to a Karaoke bar
get silly laugh and sing

I think I always knew Melanie was for me
just wouldn't admit such a thing
but now as the days pass me by
I'm thinking of buying her a ring

will she accept my love for her
or will she think I'm just talking trash
until I feel the answer is yes
I'll keep saying goodnight Mrs Calabash

Gosh

this is one of her favorite words
and everytime I hear her say this
the sweet sounds of soft song birds
comes into my scattered mind

just a simple girl  hard working
never asks for much, maybe a kiss
behind a curtain I stand lurking
her scent mesmerizing I find

sweet cherry blossoms, in full bloom
that is the taste of her lips too
petals strewn about the room
her face is in my mind, in everything I do

the more I know about her mind
the more I want to learn, it's true
tried stepping off to the side, away
and sadness colors my world blue

I cannot stand to be out of touch
absense makes my heart grow fonder
I need her presense, sometimes too much
daydream of her, my thoughts, they wander

since this angel landed in my world
time has come to a sudden stop
but if you would meet this beautiful girl
I guarantee your jaw would drop

so gosh be ****, and gosh be ******
I love this girl more than a little
she makes me laugh, she makes me smile
for a kiss from her, gosh I'd walk a mile

Grand Delusion

you asked if you could be my friend
I said I would be honored and thrilled
I have tried to keep my part of the deal
my thoughts and words so plainly spilled

yet I never see your face at my door
you never have anything to say to me
what did you ask me to be your friend for
I am nothing to you it's plain to see

it was all an Illusion to my delusion
you only wanted one more stroke
to add to your book of confusion
not one word not even a poke

you like collecting empty souls
to feed your frenzy of needed touch
but you leave us all with empty bowls
you need us just not that much

you'll pad your list with another name
hoping they will glorify your planned collusion
but to me and others just the same
nothing more than a Grand Delusion

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

Guitars and Women

Slender neck, nice rounded bottom, and adjustable knobs,
musical sounds carress your ear, you can make this baby hum

take good care of her, lots of polish, not like unwanted hobs,
protect her from the elements, unless you are realy dumb

got to keep her happy, or the tune will be oh so sour,
the blues will roll right out of her, so sad it will make you weep

if she gets sweaty, from playing hard,  rest for half an hour,
if she's screaming way too loud, you'll never be able to sleep

every night before you rest, of her praises you should sing,
this instruction is so important, a very important part

don't strum so very very hard, or you might break a string,
don't ever take her for granted, or you will break her heart

yes, guitars are like women, most beautiful in every way,
they'll be your friend for ever, if you treat them oh so kind

let every word you think, be touched by her hand each day,
and she will reward you, body, soul and mind

it's another rainy day here, wonder what is happening 8000 miles away

Gypsy Eyes

such a rainy day dream away
will this be a stone free day

or will the rolling purple haze
enter up a whole new phaze

just like a vodoo child
running around in the wild

circling around the watchtower
seeking out the majic power

this foxy lady is such a classic
caught in the crosstown traffic

the sky is turning hell fire red
trying so hard to free my head

while someone's house is slowly burning
everyones head is slowly turning

I only have this one desire
let me stand next to your fire

the wind crying out for Mary
how long can this weight I carry

sitting beneath blossoms so shady
soaring on a little wing you foxy lady

so high in the sky above
where all the gods make maddening love

it is still raining, I am still dreaming
the wild thing below is hot and steaming

the Phoenix again will gently rise
when I look again into those gypsy eyes

Haitian Divorce

in the warmth of the tropical sun
sipping zombies by the Caribbean Sea
Samuel and Daisy fell in love
dancing the merengue

they fell into each others arms
an affair to remember for all time
they decided to get married
there just wasn't any other way

the bliss lasted for many weeks
the kisses grew sweeter it seemed
but out of the blue a comment was made
and the sniping got heavier each day

he would shout she would bite
it went on like this every night
until the kisses completely stopped
they had nothing more to say

it was so much more than thought
they decided to end it well
a little trip to the islands once more
hurry now no more delay

they raised their glasses one last time
there would be no remorse
staring out at the churning sea
they celebrated their Haitian Divorce

Hamburger Hell

Beefsteak Charlie says to Porky the Pig
I can see the party lights
someone's throwin' a bash and it sure looks big
down at the slaughter house tonight
say lets get together and hit the buffet
you might as well stuff yourself
they'll only throw it away

Old Colonel Sanders says to Elsie the Cow
golly baby you're the one
two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce,
pickel, cheese, onions on a sesame seed bun
say we just got time for a roll in the hay
might as well stuff yourself
they're here to take you away

I know where you're going, I can tell
don't go looking for me
down in Hamburger Hell

don't misunderstand me I wish you well
don't go looking for me
down in Hamburger Hell

Have I done Something Wrong?

It is just a question maybe a song
but have I done something wrong?
You seem so distant now am I to blame
if so I hang my head in shame

can you please tell me what has changed
why have I become a memory past
it may seem simple to you in passing
I'm now a sailing ship without a mast

so the question remains in my mind
and it has been here for much too long
please shine your star so I can find
have I done something wrong?

Have I done Something Wrong?
David Nelson Nov 2013
Have I lost my passion

I'm not sure I have an answer
but it just doesn't feel the same
I needed more control of my world
sometimes my actions were just a shame

but it seems my heart is attached
to feel love and to feel pain
now seems just going thru the motions
very little sun and not even any rain

I'm not sure what I now feel
seems I'm somewhere in between
I try reaching a little now and then
but encouragement isn't seen

this feels so different so weird
this was the thought then she touched me
the words so filled me and I knew
the passion was just waiting to be free

I was left with a jump in my step
my heart pounding a quickened beat
I felt her in my arms once again
felt her parting kiss so dam sweet

I seem to have regained regrouped
I can feel the blood flowing with a cause
she is my passion that had drifted some
now I am no longer feeling pause

Have I told you

Its like I've had VanWinkle's disease ,
suddenly you' have  awakend my mind
I suddenly notice, this beatutiful woman
where have I been, took me too long to find

you've been standing, right here beside me
must have been keeping, my head in the sand
now all the momories are returning
if I reach out, will you take my hand

I can't understand, why I make it so hard
I can't seem to say, the words that I feel
the thought's been there, seems I hide my card
you've been waiting for me to shut up and deal

have I told you lately, how much I love you
have I said to you, your still in my dream
I'm a such a fool to have gambled you'd be here
I have forgotten that we are a team

152 beats without the drum
tight chest not tight pecs
that's way too much - way too much
take a ride in the wagon - needles inserted
with lights and siren - life inverted
4 days later
inserted defib to keep it slower
not working as of midnite
new peak at 205 bpm
pain relief - not yet
no sleep tonite
but still alive
maybe not the way this nite is going

Heartburn

seems like only yesterday,
     we were drinking in each others love

we just could not get enough,
     we would playfully argue, was it now my turn

our sweaty bodies rolling around
     in contorting every shape and form

now babe when I look at you  
     I just get heartburn

we can't stand to be even be
     in the same room together,

what happened to that craziness
     when we each dressed up in leather

cracking whips and wearing masks,
      pretending to teach and learn

now you know my stomach hurts
       you just give me heartburn

the love has gone and left us cold
       you know how milk can turn

what once was has left us now
       need something for this heartburn

Heinie Manush Rag

playing the Heinie Manush rag
your piano's out of tune you *******
the rhythm is all wrong
the chorus too long
it's like listening to my grumpy wife nag

dancing is not your thing either
watching you is like inhaling ether
you have two left feet
you can't stay on beat
I'd rather watch leave it to ******

please don't make me hear you sing
you make my ears burn and sting
I don't wanna sound ******
but you're constantly pitchy
maybe you should give monkhood a fling
