Send help
A pond too shallow for reflection
Earl, hurry, please hurry
send for reinforcements
they've got the beachfront
Hey man, it's terrible
there's hundreds of them
and they've got weapons
bottles of beer
rafts, surfboards
and half naked women
hurry, before it's too late

Beyond Foolishness
Setting the pattern
quite early
all of us
and how it's done
quite well
that really we
can hardly tell
no downfall
really, though...
yet we have a need
and a knowledge
beyond foolishness

True Success
Oh how we measure success so wrong,
for is not a man bordering on poverty,
who yet still manages to keep his family
sheltered, clothed, and fed......
a true success

Damaged
but she's not there
she' dead
in your hair
her head
and screeming
and crying
you wake
in the corner
of a big
empty bed

Mama
Mama, she's so proud
the war, the theft,
she wants more
she says, so let the blood
run cold as it stains my hands

Down the drain
The temperature slowly rose
water running down
from face to toes
little by little I begin to melt
with this morning's rain
rushing down the drain
Her interlude
He's holding the corner booth
she'll meet him at 2:00
this brief moment an interlude of life
something to get accustomed to

I ain't coming back
Don't offer me anything I never asked for
or I'll just turn and walk out that door
put a right to leave clause in any contract
you might try to get me to sign
because this is not your life, it's mine
stick with your books and magic
casting spells on me would be tragic
once I'm gone, I ain't coming back

No place to hide
The path the old man chose to take
was by no means a mistake
he has been through the dark and narrow
and has known the flight like the arrow
his path has become another road
another way for us to go, us he's told
but at the end of the line we wait
for another to break through the gate
and lead us on the other side
where there is no place for us to hide

Heavy Rain
Leveling his thumb
to get out of an impossible night
tired
caught in the rain
it's time to get back
home
and warm away
the stiffness
that sets in
from the cold
and the road
carrying a heavy load

I don't know
Too close to the heart to ever let out
all those feelings that might cause doubt
that's what the "I don't knows" are about

Ought or Not
Prince of the scene
everyone thinks
you know where it's at
the streets are yours
rolled between your fingers
"Hey man, you is sure a cool cat,"
taking the world blindly
'cause you'se a singer
out to tell people
the way things should be

Keep quiet
No escape from madness
no escape from the eyes
everywhere you turn
they'll be watching
don't do that
you're not supposed to
don't waste your time
you're not allowed to
keep quiet or you'll hang

Just once more
Let me hear the sea
crash against the shore
Let me see the horizon
oh, just once more
for here is my love
and my joy.....
down below...
and up above

Monuments
We moving through time to be forgotten
leave monuments to nothing but our egos
left behind for others to assign meaning
