i've got a day and a reason ( Read more... )

i can name all fifty states
forty-eight get in the way
from me being next to you

if it were up to me
we'd have everything we need
you'd have me and i'd have you

lately i've been wishing i had one desire ( Read more... )

and if i was brave, i'd climb up to you on the mountain ( Read more... )

big shot screaming:
"PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE SKY"
he says, "GIVE IT UP, BOY
GIVE IT UP OR YOU'RE GONNA DIE
YOU'LL GET A BULLET IN THE BACK OF THE NECK
IN THE BACK OF THE NECK RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES"

my life style is simple:
live easy and bruce willis

i'm the boss, michael scott
y'all bitches is just phyllis

dad, i found god through vietnam
mỹ lai's graves, agent orange

see, we live lies we have to choose
our bombs spoke loud, so i spoke too

then disappeared ten miles from home
a newark slum where you won't go

it's here i've found my higher self
a life that works and suits me well

i can tell you this much:
i will marry just once
and if it doesn't work out
give her half of my stuff
it's fine with me
we said "eternity"

i fell in love with a ship, a vessel with at least twenty holes
yeah, but she still floats

i fell in love with the sea, a brilliant tidal wave
she devastated me

my eyes are fixed and my palms are spread
dissonance floods my shipwrecked head
god sleeps in the gaza strip
and man alone's left to live with it
the coin flip favored the optimist
it's beginner's luck is a sewing kit
what's to do when there is no fix
only unflinching ambivalence?
