Cranberry coin skin
Afterthoughts of ****** incarnate
Neanderthal beauty with
Poison ******* for eyes

Nodding off into space
The pink mace dangles from the neckline
Foreign in mind body soul
Another nick of the trade

At least the weather is good
Near the wood of the edges of the trees
Last in line at the grocery store
Tears lick themselves clean

Attention dog
Round about fanatic cat
A friend dead like all the rest
Ring around the rosy

Can't make the date
Don't want to smile
Performing for punches
Heavy metal miles

And you come at me with wide legs
Furry fortnights
Asking for forgiveness by God
A toss up knocked out and bloodied

Forgotten trash piles
Letting rivals shake hands for once
Car generator's snapped in half
No one ever gets the last laugh

Death waits for us all
Since time was time
And Earth was Earth
And the wind first started to blow

Go on past the horizon
See the bubbling sea
The split rumbling mountains
Ingratiated clouds in butterfly formation

Upheavals of medieval persuasion
Telling lies to tell the truth
Chivalry swinging by the neck
In a broken sun set menagerie

Juices flowing with laughter on black
Assumptions of ****** nods
Allow naked mistakes to be photographed
Pressing buttons just for the **** of it

Night time rolls around
And the fog hovers like a grey helicopter
Meet my daughter under the stars, you say?
I wouldn't have it any other way

Day out curb side
Scars of memories forgotten
Love under the wings of devils
Angels weep with their God's troubles

Now when I say I am a lonely man
I mean that I don't have the company of many
Solitude soil lets the good flowers grow
And I'm coming through the fire to see you

Promises for the poor
Let the rich live they want to
Dead men cater to the living engineers
How easy we are to forget

I don't have much reason to be
But I have all the reason to see
That what you are to me
Is the reason why I live and breathe

Understand that these times are tough
Money is tight and sleep is low
And I'll be frank with you, there's still a long way to go
But baby, I'll keep you warm in this falling snow

Sentences erupt like a shout from down the hall
Calling your name like an ancient battle call
Shout scream surrender your arms take my hand
We are not chained to our pains or our miseries
Let them be, they will not follow thee

Fall leaves in a foggy sky
Street whispers entranced by bluesy ties
A bus ride rumbles by
As I let out a passive aggressive sigh

Another bout of that old sadness
Nod, sigh, breathe in
Ocean mysteries and meandering eyes
Too tired to bow my head to cry

Piano portraits in dreams of a rippling fashion
She leaves, but she always comes back to me
Tied together through each door of time
Her hair entangled with mine, her hair smelling of pine

Uprooted and replaced
By idols of forgery perfection
When I say I love you
I mean for every day before and after

Proof of purchase - the sign hangs like an omen
Rubbing my hands, keeping them warm
White walls padded and pushed
"Ok", says the German, "Now we are to start."

Tales take the forward march
Posterity salutes the torch
I can't see 8 inches in front of me
If I were blind, I'd probably see clearer
