side
‘Cause then you’ll have your soul to hide
Although there will be plenty of good times to ride
He’s well versed in the ways of rock
With him you’ll certainly go to the top
His greed and lust though never stop
Let there be Rock once more
Before the Devil runs up the score, and you succumb to the demands of pop
Joker
Early in the second half of the new phase of light
The Joker’s glow was dimming but still felling bright
Arms are pointed to attack; scene turning black
Wolf is eager to end the debate
Quick precession; no need to agitate
And the Joker Grins Again
The obvious choice is somewhat clear
Clouds still looming with Dark Fear
Evan as the Joker gets near
The story twists and characters steer
The boat into; a new port
Damaged goods; knowing life’s too short
And the Joker laughs again
Vague references are clear to me
It seems to you impossibly
Others leave uncertainty
Which causes hostility
If you ask me
And it was a question of free
Then I’d be me
And you would see
That there is a fee
For the plea
And the Joker smiles again
Strange revelations in the midnight
The Jokers revels some new incite
It was a consummated deal he shivered
There is no need for the news to be delivered
But, alas; there is hope
This one seems to like the dope
And the joker wins again
The joker looked on with lusty greed
Was everything as it seems?
This sure is an interesting place
Will she ever give a chase?
Hopefully she won’t replace
The beauty in her face
And the joker wins again…
…But the joker never wins
Jail Me Up Quick
Jail me up quick
I’m smoking a joint
Soon there’s someone that’s going to point
And though I’m alone, no one by my side
That poor soul has got hide
His contempt for me, I can plainly see
It bothers him when others are free
I’m not hurting you; so just let me be
Space Monkey
This Space Monkey is ready to try
A new form of aviation to fly
Ride the lightening across the sky
Starting the new wave
Give this generation a try
Time is limited; and already low
It’s urgent to make love grow
Less focus on power and greed
Emphasis on peace, being free
Red Headed Step-Child Blues
Had to leave my woman
Couldn’t take it anymore
Even though our boys; are a combined; age 4
This life comes just once
I’m not letting others decide
There is no longer any reason to hide
I’ve got the…Red headed step child blues
I’ve got the…Red headed step child blues
Weather I can sing or not
Doesn’t really matter
It’s the words I compose
That’ll fill the platter
I’m not a character
Like the Mad Hatter
But Family seems against me
No resolve to what’s the matter
I’ve got the…Red headed step child blues
That’s right the…Red headed step child blues
There ain’t nothing wrong
Oh can’t you see
Feeling good is okay; to just be free
You live your life
And I’ll live mine
The boys and everyone else; will be just fine
I’ve got the…Red headed step child blues
That’s right the…Red headed step child blues
Ray
The handshake confirmed Ray was okay
The phoenix starts his journey today
With a never ending collection
Of memories to display
He was indeed knowing, always showing,
The all telling Magic man of the 4th moon; and he arrived today
The absurdity is looming in jumbled questions
That can’t be known right away
I’m too lazy to find another rhyme for away on this day,
So just let the song play and worry about the meaning some other day
Perform
Can’t be afraid to perform
Worrying about the right zone
It’s the only way to get paid
Let the ladies know you wanna get lai…HEY!
It’s just music
Maybe just a little bit
Will be the right fit
Make you feel like top tit
Puttin’ your whole soul into it…
Can’t be afraid to perform
Knowing where the dangers roam
My mind works in bits
Eyes wonder to those lovely bouncing t…HEY!
It’s just music
Maybe just a little bit
Will be the right fit
Make you feel like top tit
Puttin’ your whole soul into it…
Can’t be afraid to perform
Wanting to get that woman to moan
You can’t leave it all up to luck
I think this girl here is down to f…HEY!
It’s just music
Maybe just a little bit
Will be the right fit
Make you feel like top tit
Puttin’ your whole soul into it…
New Song
Working on a new song
Not worrying about righting a wrong
The tale seems familiar
It’s been told before
I may be here to even the score
Who the audience is; it’s plainly clear
Although there may be; a need to veer
To a new form of consciousness
That gets this next half right
It apparently feels good to not be uptight
I got my new song, written just for you today
Hopefully this will be enough to make our way
In this world together hand in hand
Knowing I’m your man
Machine
I don’t need a robot to tell me how to think
The machines took over and we didn’t even blink
The dub whatever gives off a stink
I want to put my soul into it, inspired by many, including Pink
A little electro is all right,
But Rock & Blues is what’s really tight
Felling the music live; the best way to jive
Machine Go Away
Let the Music Play
I’ll find use for you some other Day
My Country
Big Man tells the little man what to do
Do as your told; I know what is best for you
You shouldn’t do that; you’ll get locked in
Even if there is little sin
Men in suits 3000 miles away
Telling me what is the proper way
What do you know of the North West?
Where the environment is the best
The State of Washington is My Country
Learn to run your own country
Joker Revisited
With a wide array of tangerines
Joker also sold magazines
To cover the cost of being obscene
In this world of unforeseen
Although he’s keen
To what he’
s seen
There ain’t any need
To give out speed
So, go forth chaos
Represent us
And glory to the righteous bus
The Golden Ship sails above us
It’s time for him to meet his maker
Also known as the undertaker
The Joker often mistook her
For someone he knew in a past life;
When he was a baker
The Joker seems stronger now;
He’ll be less apt to be a partaker
So, go forth chaos
Represent us
And glory to the righteous bus
The Golden Ship sails above us
Let There Be Rock Again
Listened to “Brown Sugar”
It does still taste good
Thousands of times it could
Hearing the song, like I always would
Yeah, I’m borrowing their words
United between the two worlds
The New Age of Rock has begun
Who is Rock’s chosen son?
Let there be Rock again
And Bon will be Flyin’
All the greats are too soon dyin’
We must keep rock alive and tryin’
Possibility
Feeling tipsy
Or is it the epilepsy?
Higher possibility
Without booze in me
Still have to partake
To avoid the mistake
Of not living to the fullest
Unlimited potential in myself and country
What a country is depends on who’s hungry
Some have it
Most don’t
I’m not believing that I won’t
The ones before are just people
Don’t need constant praise in the steeple
Puget Sound
Out in the open, breathing fresh air
I know this is real
I’m in my home lair
The Puget Sound
I have found
Is the best place to lose cares
Of the pounds and surreal
Allowing me to heal
And do this for real
Restaurant
Eating some Chinese
After enjoying the ocean breeze
Where the road goes next
Is anybody’s guess
Starting to feel the next quest
The money will soon be out
Then learn what loneliness is really about
Camping gear on the bike
Or maybe just take a hike
Don’t matter, just living
Confident in God’s giving
Toby’s Tavern
Toby’s Tavern
Best mussels in town
This my only third time
But feels like a lifetime
I’m back where I need to be
Spreading good vibes
Great energy
I don’t want to flow
Hopefully I can sing
Make just a little money ring
Hey Willie
Hey Willie, before you go
Let me show you some songs
See if they grow
Don’t care if I make it
I just gotta show
So, Willie before you go
Let’s go smoke a bowl
Let me learn what you know
Get together and make some songs grow
Reflection on good times ahead
Thankful we’re not yet dead
Gas
Waiting for the gas can
To fill up the car so I can
Go on the road without a damn
Elevation is the master plan
Maybe even form a band
But with death all around
Bringing me down
I just want to feel good, even be a clown
Next stop is anywhere
You coming with me; just meet me over there
Fun and adventure; the name of the game
Avoiding booze just the same
But tokin’ up when time is right
Which in my case, is always tonight
Chaos
Chaos is looming
And it’s glooming
Showing a bright new day
Starting over right away
But, leaving evil at the bay
Doubt is still present
That never goes away
And although spent, I’m ready to play
Federal Men
Federal men gather in
All the men in their bin
The righteous herb that’s without sin
(Although okay in Washington)
They’ll jail you quick with a grin
So let’s make sure our side wins
‘Cause they’ll do anything to deny freedom
Good Sound
Most sounds today I can’t stand
It’s what makes me think I can
Do better than them; and spread good vibes
Help out others who have been great times
I’m not doing this alone; other have inspired me
I plan to pay back the loan; that was given to me
Blood Line
Be born with the right blood line
Or else you might be at the end of the bread line
The self-anointed few get to decide what we use
They have the power to make sure we lose
Possible certainty is still buried within
Defying the upcoming prosecution
Gather together until we see the son
We have ignored the old proclamation
Ending will come painfully quick
If we continue on with the same shtick
Many years still left to go
We still need to get into the flow
Stand
Pacification sets in during the fall of autumn
Fear of persecution and being made to feel dumb
Error unlimited by the ones in charge
With none, the forgotten can only get so far
Causing an embellishment on what it means to be a star
Soon activity will surge with hope and excitement
Those forgottens no longer wanting contentment
Unreasonable Demands
Have tied our hands
Everything benefits The Man
Time for us to take a stand
The Show
Certain vibrations raising hell in the late summer
Awkward past crazies get screened through mind’s filter
Pointed fingers jab their abuses, upset with what is reality
Doomsday predictions put on hold, until enough things have been sold
Following in footsteps that were left long ago
Aching indifference toward those who say
“That is not the way to the show”
Prosper Now
First proper meal in far too long
Money will soon run out if I don’t find a job
But have some dough now to get me through
Enjoy while it last; it will be gone too soon
Breakthroughs are getting harder to come by
New approach needed; to be able to fly
Soon things will brighten; won’t have to worry about wasting time
Prosper now while things are good
Soon things will be as they should
No more top ramen as my main food
Put to use what I learned in school
Rise up and infiltrate the machine
Stay focused, keep your mind keen
Put on a good face, personality unseen
Make sure money goes to those in need
Enough
Ok…eeeenough
I do need it
Yes need it
Helps me stay on top of it
Otherwise I’m eating, drinking coffee and smoking tobacco till I start to spit br />
Minds feels stale, anything to let it out
That old plant helps control my epileptic drought
If you have epilepsy
The seizures need to be
It’s how that type of brain, exercises itself effectively
And with that plant, I control them easily
It ain’t ADHD that afflicts me
Although it does have a similarity
But it is certainly
Something that is fairly easy to be
Just ingest a bit of this old plant
That grows in the ground
(It grows with water and sunshine all around)
Doesn’t have to be grown in a basement underground
Why is illegal?
Ummmmm. Because. Uh.
No Idea
Well, I know the reason they like to give
Except they have nothing to do with how real people live
What’s it to you what I use treat epilepsy?
It’s not harming you or me, so let me be
The gateway thing is a stupid joke
I just want my herb, I don’t want coke
Or any chemically produced shit for that matter
You’re not experimenting on my brain
I’m not the Mad Hatter
How many more are there like me?
Good people who’ve been locked away for hurting nobody
Or told to “take this and be praised”
In order to give CEO of Brand X a raise
It’s the dark little secret that can’t be swept under the rug anymore
What are we locking up our brother American for?
Maybe you like to drink, or have a cigarette
Or maybe role some dice to feel on top of it
I don’t know…maybe sex, or getting to flex, help you feel free
People love TV too it seems
Anything to improve your dreams
Possible you have an accepted condition that a company makes a pill for
Good. Glad your condition or vice is an acceptable chore
A plant, yes a plant is all I need
It helps my brain function at full speed
Stay focused without the addictive caffeine or other speed
You use what you need; to get you through the day,
So leave me alone please, right away
Oh yes, let’s not forget about other bonuses as well
Competition in pain relief
Supply no longer controlled by terrorist freaks
Hemp; the material the Declaration was written on
And yes; decreasing the power of Federal prosecution
Yes prison builders may have to shift their focus
And criminal justice will have to put a greater importance on stopping violence
Which is unfortunate I guess
But these are minor negatives we’ll be able to live with
Oh no, almost forgot, the bail bondsmen will be lost
Oh well, profiteering on the misfortunes of others;
You deserve that cost
So let’s do it and do it now
Do I need to show you how?
The vast majority want it this way
So get it done now. Or at least right away, stop being clowns
The elected need to represent us, the people who elected them
Not their gulf buddy or their rich lobbyist
Who give them millions
Maybe let’s retake civics to relearn what democracy means
Because the absurdity of the policy is only because of them; it seems
Cabin Fever
Cabin Fever
Or maybe just bored theater
Prolonged pause
Waiting too long
Do they want the song?
Maybe just a fire, use the last log
Radio music begins to clog
Need a friend,
Anyone
Even a dog
The time escapes slowly
Writing still effortlessly
Waiting for the news expectantly
Is it time to leave?
Cabin fever
Climbing near
Bouncing walls
Joker likes the fear
Can’t let the mind wander
Fall into the cosmic slumber
Visions of great marauder
Flashing light takes us under
When will it come?
Anyone.
Anyone?
Anyone!?
Damn. I thought there was someone
Practice now while it’s flowing in the blood
The Beast learns to control the flood
Cabin fever
Climbing near
Bouncing walls
Joker likes the fear
Dance
Lost souls, nowhere to go
Not everyone is in on the know
May have to give The Others a show
Prance around, let the good vibes flow
Get up and Dance
Give that Funk a chance
Just move and dance
Stop that rigid stance
Feels good, rise above the fear
A pretty girl sheds a tear
New awakening is coming near
Get up and Dance
Give that Funk a chance
Just move and dance
Stop that rigid stance
Boredom
Sweet boredom
Got any Ludlum?
No to the heroine
You sure?
Maybe that’s the cure
Go further down to darkness; feeling pure
No, I would like a plant though
The sweet herbal grow
No speed? Maybe that’s what you need!
No…well…Maybe…ah…shit
No. None of it
Just pass over my shit, so I can take a hit
Ooh, maybe some of this
Make the purple dragon appear in the mist
Second thought, maybe not
Just stick with the pot
Fly Away
Thousands of times the speed of light
The first time; prey with all your might
Of course it’s over soon
After we pass several distant moons
Think happy thoughts,
As we traverse through the asteroid rock
Rocky road up ahead
Bolts of light, cosmic night
Apparition in sight
Partake in some sound dreamy sleep
Pilot steers ship through the unknown deep
Far reaching; no looking behind
Sooth your mind; now is the time
Wake Up! And Grab a Hold
Ahh! The Great stories to be told
The new place is quietly bold
But no going back to the old pot of gold
It wasn’t there anyway
So we fly away, right away
Come with us, today is your day
Years
Missing their growing years
Too long away from their cheers
Or even their tears
Possible to mend this relation
Youthful energy; hard to plan
Precious time gone, while stuck in limbo
Waiting for the green notes; so I can go
Didn’t want to go to the Frozen Tundra
But impossible without them
There is no replica
Looking at positives can help
Promising future was dealt
Reconnect with old friends
Others make amends
Lifestyle still depends
Relive the glory days I guess
Make them extend
Drained and out of it
But sensing it
Getting closer
