And that is when time stood still

When I looked into her eyes

I found it hard to concentrate

That's when I realized

She must be some kind of detective

And I was the scene of the crime

Held up my hands in mock surrender

Now with her I'm doing time

Everywhere I go
My rear is there for me
It gives comfort when I sit
Should I decided to bend the knee

With strong advice from my wife
I need to keep my cheeks pinched tight
So everywhere I go
My brains don't spill out on the floor

The holes in the ozone layer have cracked
and all the fog is rising
and diffusing into heaven
where the angels choke
and lay dying
beneath the sky stained black.
Light up the dark with the flick of a switch,
the power will simmer as circuits brake
because now the sky is dimmer
then ever before.
The glow at the end of the tunnel is weak
and the angels no longer sing
because their lungs are heavy with the sting
of the smog that fills heaven
too much for fragile eyes to handle.
Tears dissipate and trickle to earth
but these drops are not enough to reverse
the draught and dull of the human curse.

Breakfast in bed
is all about
the spread

China doll why do you weep
your tears of porcelain
is it because your eyes of glass
reflect your life of pain

I believe her tears would mix with mine
If mine weren't thick and hers weren't fine

Sheep

I feel like I'm your shepherd
Fighting off the wolf with a staff
But you
Oh you, silly sheep
Keep following the wolf
His claw curled in summoning
His howls soft and comforting
Yet they send shivers up my spine
And my blood to boil with anger
I beat the wolf round the head
Tearing his fur
I'll make him wish he were dead
For seducing my sheep with his hungry eyes
His honey gaze
His bitter glaze
I'll rip out his fur before her gets to you, my sheep
But the sheep doesn't understand me
THE WOLF IS DANGEROUS
I scream until my throat bleeds
But still
My dearest sheep tilts her head
And saunters off into the forest
Where the wolf it waiting with wet lips
Jaw twitching in anticipation
Maybe I should let you be eaten, little sheep
I could scream all I want
Show you my dead flock
But you won't listen
Maybe I'll just let you get eaten
I'm tired of saving your life

I'm Not Done

But I have nothing to say
So I say nothing
I have nothing to give
So I give nothing
I have no one for me
So I be no one
I'm not done
But I have so much left to say
