The Price We

pay to live on
other peoples
dreams is
Pachamama.

We Belive Thus

act as though there
is an option to reality
just cuz many live their
lives there, for the now.

Rather Have

accounts paid
exceed those
due.

"Personal Jesus"

 

Depeche Mode

Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver

(we must be a receiver to be a believer)
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess

I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer

I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out reach out
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

"Keep Talking"

 

Pink Floyd

For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals
Then something happenend which unleashed the power of our imagination
We learned to talk

There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one can bother me

I think I should speak now
Why won't you talk to me
I can't seem to speak now
You never talk to me

My words won't come out right
What are you thinking

(not feeling)
I feel like I'm drowning
What are you feeling

I'm feeling weak now
You never talk to me
But I can't show my weakness

What are you thinking
I sometimes wonder
What are you feeling

Where do we go from here

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me
I feel like I'm drowning
You never talk to me
You know I can't breathe now

What are you thinking
We're going nowhere
What are you feeling
We're going nowhere

Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
Where do we go from here

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

"A Great Day for Freedom"

 

Pink Floyd

On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses as high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived

On the day the wall came down
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight

I dreamed you had left my side
No warmth not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not do a thing for you

Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone

Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of gray

I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you
And all but the bitted residue slipped away slipped away

Songwriters: DAVE GILMOUR, POLLY SAMSON

Many Who Can

not wait for the
election to be over

art a bad name, iy's

art is not 1.

There Are A

# of big lies &
the masks are
melting.

Different Masters

is not
freedom.

What Someone

wants from us
matters not
what does matter
is can & will give
all we can within
reason.

Just As It

is your eyes
& their vision
so too with your
brain & their
thoughts /beliefs
your feelings.

"Suite Madame Blue"

 

Styx

Time after time I sit and I wait for your call
I know I'm a fool but why can I say
Whatever the price I'll pay for you,
Madame Blue
Once long ago, a word from your lips and the world turned around
But somehow you've changed, you're so far away
I long for the past and dream of the days with you,
Madame Blue

Suite Madame Blue, gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Suite Madame Blue, the future is all but past
Dressed in your jewels, you made your own rules
You conquered the world and more, heaven's door

Oh

America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America

Red white and blue, gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Red, white, and blue, the future is all but past
So lift up your heart, make a new start
And lead us away from here

"Come Sail Away"

 

Styx

I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold

(the pot of gold is "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"

that of beginning to understand)
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said
They said come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing, come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me

"Lady"

 

Styx

Lady when you're with me I'm smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when I'm sinking
Touch me and my troubles all fade

Lady from the moment I saw you standing all alone
You gave all the love that I needed
She's so shy like a child who has grown
You're my

Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear and lovely
You're my lady

Lady turn me on when I'm lonely
Show me all your charms
Evenings when you lay down beside me
Just take me gently into your arms
You're my.

Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear and lovely
You're my lady

When We Can't

see it, hear it,
taste it or touch
it @times we
can still feel it.

We Choose To

believe what
we see & are told
& do what is
measured in ? ($).
Isn't that odd?

Much Of What

we do not believe
is cuz we don't
want to rattle
our beliefs cuz we
like our fantasy better.

The Buying Of

the 'commons'
is an attack on
society in the
absurd (psycho)
notion that we are
just a collection of
individuals, tell that
to the ants, bees & birds.

We Are The

(our) world's
super power in
econ & politics
our Military / CIA
 is there to enforce
'it', even though
it is called defense
cuz it is defending
the $'s of loans.

We Hang On

to what we get,
(need to believe)
& hope to get what
we 'need' but is 'it'
a fantasy, dream or
a real possibility?
Depends on the
foundation, is it
illusion or reality?

Just Cuz

we don't see 'it''
for whatever
reason does not
mean 'it' was / is
not there. But that
is how we feel &
choose to believe
(denial) til words
like reality come
crashing in.

We Often Believe

that someone
changed when
what really
happened was
we saw clearly
what was always
there, so we changed
our beliefs.

We End Where

we begin.

In Our System

of governance
of checks &
balances has
1 remaining
check off of
president & 'it'
will be out of
balance in every
aspect which was
goal of the econ.
royalty.

"Thinkers Read

& readers think".

Morality In A

society that is
about $'s is

"The More We

the further
there is to go..."
Alan Parsons

'The' Most Difficult

aspect of love, after
understanding it, is
finding the some 1
to give it to that
gets 'it' and a mutual
attraction.

Too Many Of

us are looking
for our fantasy
inside reality.

Just Cuz

we are sighted
does not mean
we see.

Propganda Tells

"Bright Lights and Promises"

 

Janis Ian

Bright lights and promises, a pocket full of dreams
That's what they pay me to be
Gold lame and diamonds - I am a hometown queen
Honey, would you sing it just for me?

When I was good... then I was bad
I never thought i'd end up this way
with no dreams to hide me - bright lights to guide me
How long does it take to make the grade?

Everywhere I hear a ringing in my ears
Drummer, let the music play
Small-town blues, make it loud, make it do
Listen to the music sway

Bar rails and cocktails - have you got a light?
That's all it pays to keep in sight
Overused and much abused promises of delight
Honey, would you care to spend the night?

Take a little time - some memories and wine
Loosen up the sucker by the bar
And if he wants to hold you, if he wants to know you
Honey, that's what you're here for

Until all I see is them reaching out for me
Drummer, play that old-time melody

Bright lights and promises, that's all it's for
Leave and enter by the service door
Now I'm gold lame and diamonds, even if my gold is worn
Honey, who could ask for more?

Songwriters: JANIS IAN

Just Cuz We

believe / feel
we are in charge
does not make
'it' so even if we
say so.

Logically Myth /

illusion can not
(a)effect reality
yet that is how
we live cuz we
do what we feel
 /believe; 'Fact'
is cuz we say so
regardless if we
have any clue. Now
that is amazing as it
is psychodelic & psychedelic
at the same time in space
or close enough.

"Tea & Sympathy"

 

Janis Ian

I don't want to ride the milk train any more
I'll go to bed at nine, and waken with the dawn
And lunch at half past noon
Dinner prompt at five
The comfort of a few old friends long past their prime

Pass the tea & sympathy
For the good old days long gone
Let's drink a toast to those who most
Believe in what they've won
It's a long long time 'til morning
Plays wasted on the dawn
I'll not write another line,
For my true love is gone

And when the guests have done
I'll tidy up the room
I'll turn the covers down
And gazing at the moon
Will pray to go quite mad
And live in long ago
When you and I were one, so very long ago

Pass the tea & sympathy
For the good old days long gone
Let's drink a toast to those who most
Believe in what they've won
It's a long long time 'til morning
Plays wasted on the dawn
I'll not write another line,
For my true love is gone

And when I have no dreams
To give you any more,
I'll light a blazing fire
And wait within the door,
And throw my life away
"I wonder why?" they all will say
And now I lay me down to sleep,
Forever and a day

Pass the tea & sympathy
For the good old days are dead
(perhaps we just didn't understand.)
Let's drink a toast to those who best
Survived the life they've led
It's a long long time 'til morning,
So build your fires high
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Forever by your side

Songwriters: JANIS IAN

"In The Winter"

 

Janis Ian

The days are okay
I watch the TV in the afternoons
If I get lonely,
The sound of other voices,
Other rooms are near to me
I'm not afraid

The operator,
She tells the time,
It's good for a laugh
There's always radio,
And for a dime I can
Talk to God - Dial-a-Prayer
Are you there?
Do you care?
Are you there?

And in the winter,
Extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater, getting old
I am wiser now, you know
And still as big a fool concerning you

I met your friend
She's very nice, what can I say?
It was an accident
I never dreamed we'd meet again this way
You're looking well
I'm not afraid

You have a lovely home
Just like a picture.
No, I live alone
I found it easier
You must remember how
I never liked the party life
Up all night
Lovely wife
You have a lovely wife

And in the winter
Extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater, getting old
You are with her now, I know
I'll live alone forever
Not together now

"Imaging America"

Everything But The Girl

 

Oh, and how he loved you
Oh, and how he loved you
Oh, and you believed him
Oh, and you believed him
You said you both deserve better
You both deserve better
Could make it a real thing
Could make it a real thing

On a clear day
You can see the sea from your place
On a fine day
You can still remember his face

He just kept right on
Imagining America
He just kept right on
Imagining America

And he was so handsome
He was so handsome
It was 1919
It was 1919
Sailing to New York
Sailing to New York
Just for you
Just for you

It was a clear day
Waiting from the quay, saw him
Was a fine day
Standing with the world before him

He just kept right on
Imagining America
He just kept right on
Imagining America

Don't he have no feelings
Always feel like mountains
And deserts and stars
Cities have been tamed
And they all know your name
They have money
And houses and cars

So I stand here
So I stand here
In his footsteps
In his footsteps
We deserve better
We deserve better
And I can make it a real thing
And I can make it a real thing
It's a clear day
It's a clear day
Only in a final embrace
Only in a final embrace
It's a fine day
It's a fine day
The world remember our face
The world remember our face

And I just kept right on
Imagining America
And I just kept right on
Imagining America

We keep on, we keep
Imagining America, America

"Show Yourself"

Starship
When I was small I used to stand
With my hand on my heart
And I would sing to you
You were my son and my lover
My father and my brother
I believed in you
It was so easy then
It was so easy then
(cuz ignorance is bliss)
But where are you now
(The illusions is melted)
It seems like you can't hear me anymore
(never did or it would not need to be said)
Maybe you're just getting too old
But do you remember
201 years ago
When you were young
How strong you had become
Promising every one you sweet gift of freedom,
(except native American, women ,blacks, poor. etc.)
Now you know exactly who I am
I seem to tell you all the time
Now tell me some kind of truth about yourself
Your life should be as open as mine
There are children dying for you
That doesn't sound like freedom to me
You keep lyin' about why they're dyin'
When they should be conceived in liberty
Show yourself
Show yourself to me
You're the one that told me
Remember
You told me I was born to be free
Open all your doors I want to see
All your doors and your keys
I want to see I want to hear you
All 88 keys yeah
Oh give it to me
Show yourself
Show yourself to me
I want to see the stars and the stripes
That can make those things scream
Show yourself
Show yourself to me
Expose yourself I wanna see your face
Come on give it to me
Show yourself
Show yourself to me
Are you RCA
Are you Standard Oil
Are you A.T.&T. I wanna see
Give it to me if you got one
I wanna see come on and show yourself
Who runs this? who runs this country?
Show me
Show yourself
Give it to me
Show yourself to me
I want to know I wanna see
Give it to me show yourself
Show yourself to me
I want you know I wanna see
Give it to me show yourself
Show yourself to me
Who runs it? who runs it around?
Show me show me show your face to me
(they will show themselves on 11-8-16)
(& they will give to us even more)

"Take Your Time"

 

Jefferson Starship

I'm gonna make one hour in inte
Just a few minutes
I'm gonna get two days for the
Price of one
There's a one word rhyme
And that's called living
Thare's a one word love
Means plenty of giviing
I'm gonna give it 'til I'm done
But everybody keeps telling me to
Take it easy
But time doesn't sit down and wait
While I'm trying to get it done
But you're not me, thank god
You can take your time slowly
Makes me fell good just to watch
You lie down and have your fun

Take your time
Take your time
And I'll take my own time
(repeat 2x)

I can take it slowly or you can keep
Runnin' on runnin' on
When I put one foot in front of
The other
To me that doesn't mean walk that
Means run
I always want to start the race
Before the gates open
I always want to start the race
Before I hear the sound
Of the gun
But everybody keeps tellin' me to
Take it easy
But time doesn't sit down and wait
While I'm trying to get it done
But you're not me, thank god
You can take your time slowly
Makes me fell good just to watch
You lie down and have your fun

Take your time
Take your time

And I'll take my own time
And I'll take my own time

And I'll take my own time
And I'll take my own time

And I'll take my own time
And I'll take my own time

You say it'll take a you year

I say just take me a second
But there's room for both of us
Just open the room
You know a year of time sees so
Many changes
And the speed of light in the black
Of night
Makes a full moon

"Blue Collar Man"

Styx

Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I'm hardly alive
My mother and father, my wife and my friends
I see them laugh in my face
But I've got the power, and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Make me an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not I'll take those

Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Keeping my mind on a better life
Where happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
All that be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man
You don't understand

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that be just who I am
Well I vow to be a blue collar, gotta be a blue collar,
Gonna be a Blue collar man.

Believe it.

"The Grand Illusion"

 

Styx

Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star

But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fantasy

(your eyes (& reality) & their vision)

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same
We're all the same

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that it's a grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same

America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on earth's this spell we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are

(is this the best we can do or be?)

"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (Pts. 1-5)

Pink Floyd

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze

Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
Rode on the steel breeze.

Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

"Halo"

Depeche Mode

You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head it's worse

There's a pain
A famine in your heart
An aching to be free
Can't you see
All love's luxuries
Are here for you and me

And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

Bring your chains
Your lips of tragedy
And fall into my arms

And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

"Old And Wise"

Alan Parsons

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go

[CHORUS]
And oh when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go

[CHORUS]
And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see

'Life' Flickers

on & off by
any measure.

A Huge Issue

with pretend is
that the pain, blood
& tears are real.

"Ignorance Is Bliss"

Alan Parsons

I find this Paradise and rest beside a river
No need to walk another mile
It seems like everyone has everything that wishes could provide
But no one seems to smile

You won't believe me when I tell you this is fantasy
Don't ask how long all this can last
The same old sun will rise and make tomorrow just like yesterday
And so your time will pass

A shelter from the storm
A room without a view
A place where you belong
And like a mother's kiss
That carries you to sleep
The ignorance is bliss

One day the wind may change and blow at your defences
And shake the ground on which you stand
One day the tide may turn and wash away your castles in the sand
And silence rule the land

A shelter from the storm
A room without a view
A place where you belong
And like a mother's kiss
That carries you to sleep
The ignorance is bliss

One day the wind will change and blow away your wonderland
Blue skies will soon be overcast
One day the tide will turn and wash away your castles in the sand
And you'll find peace... at last

Those Who Are

search'n for
someth'n out
are looking in
the wrong place.

"Out Of The Blue"

Alan Parsons

 

Out of the blue
I come sailing
Through the years
Through the years

What do I do?
Now that I've seen
All our hopes
And all of our fears

And I'm riding a lonely highway
I'm the man from out of the blue
Yes, I'm riding a lonely highway
I'm the man from out of the blue

I travel far
Yet no distance
I'm still here
Always here

So follow the call
To our senses
Still there's hope
Behind the fear

And I'm riding a lonely highway
'Cause I'm the man from out of the blue

And I'm riding a lonely highway
I'm the man from out of the blue
Yes, I'm riding a lonely highway
I'm the man from out of the blue
Out of the blue

"It's No Good"

 

Depeche Mode

As your bony fingers close around me
Long and spindly
Death becomes me
Heaven can you see what I see

Hey you pale and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile

Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving

There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating

Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without it lives within you

Feel the fever coming
You're shaking and twitching

You can scratch all over
But that won't stop you itching

Can you feel a little love
Can you feel a little love

Dream on dream on

Blame it on your karmic curse
Oh shame upon the universe
It knows its lines
It's well rehearsed

It sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallowed ground
Where holiness is never found

Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving

Can you feel a little love
Can you feel a little love

Dream on dream on

WE Broke The

Earth for the illusion
of $'s (wealth) &  we
will all be destitute cuz
we forgot who Needs
Who.

Developing Understanding

requires desire,
ability & time.

Anger Is How

we shut out the
'True Truth 'of
what we believe
vs. what is.

Some Don't Get

'it' cuz they are
too busy being
a martyr in
their minds /
beliefs / feelings.

For Sure

looking down
on the other
does Not raise
us up.

"Dream On"

 

Depeche Mode

[Chorus]
Can you feel a little love
Can you feel a little love
Dream on
Dream on

As your bony fingers close around me
Long and spindly
Death becomes me
Heaven can you see what I see

Hey you pale and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile

Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving

There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating

Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without it lives within you

Feel the fever coming
You're shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won't stop you itching

Blame it on your karmic curse
Oh shame upon the universe
It knows its lines
It's well rehearsed

Where holiness is never found

"Today"

If you should wake and find me gone
Keep safe this night and dwell upon
Such murmurations, sun sunk deep
Now close your eyes and go to sleep...

What a day it's been
A day of shoot the breezes
What a day it's been this time of year
Oh yes it is

Just a day when the weight of the world slides away

Feel that sun on your back
See the shadows falling
Sea meets shore and soothes it with a song
Oh yeah

If this should be my last day on earth I'll sing along

New day, Always
Lets forget all the skies cast over the rain
(New day, Always)
And the sqouring tempest of doubt
(New day, Always)
Holding on clinging tight in the wreckage of love
(New day, Always)
But today

What a time to dream
What a day of easy
What a day it's been this time of year
Oh yeah

Just a day when the weight of the world slides away

New day, Always
Evening starts a guitar in the smoke of the fire
(New day, Always)
Light of gold in the garden of old
(New day, Always)
I will take it all again if it came my way
(New day, Always)
But today
lyrics Polly Samson / David Gilmour

In Silence

I hear you
& feel you.

When We See 'It',

in time in space,
when 'it' matters
or won't matter
as much, if at all.

Human Nature =

people stuff
always did
& will so we
keep going
over the same
ground or just
round & round.

When Most Things

don't make
sense or seem
odd it's cuz 'it'
is.

"Abracadabra (Round n' Round)"

 

Steve Miller Band

I heat up, I can't cool down
You got me spinnin'
'Round and 'round
'Round and 'round and 'round it goes
Where it stops nobody knows

Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin' flame
Burnin' flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

You make me hot, you make me sigh
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Keep me burnin' for your love
With the touch of a velvet glove

Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

I feel the magic in your caress
I feel magic when I touch your dress
Silk and satin, leather and lace
Black panties with an angel's face

I see magic in your eyes
I hear the magic in your sighs
Just when I think I'm gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say

Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin' flame
Burnin' flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round

"For What It's Worth"

 

Buffalo Springfield, Stephen Stills

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's s time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

"The Living Years"

 

Mike + The Mechanics

Every generation blames the one before
And all of their frustrations come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage to all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could've told him in the living years

Oh, crumpled bits of paper filled with imperfect thoughts
Stilted conversations I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it he says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement in this present tense
We all talk a different language, talking in defense

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future it's the bitterness that lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes you sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective on a different day
And if you don't give up and don't give in, you may just be okay

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

I wasn't there that morning when my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him all the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo in my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

Say it loud, say it clear
Say it loud, say it clear
Say it loud, say it clear
Say it loud

"Silent All These Years"

 

Tori Amos

Excuse me, but can I be you for a while
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
I got the Anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah, I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say, you know, but nothing comes
Yes, I know what you think of me, you never shut up
Yeah, I can hear that

But what if I'm a mermaid, in these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey, but I don't care 'cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice.
And it's been here silent all these years

So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone
I got twenty-five bucks an' a cracker
Do you think it's enough to get us there

Cause what if I'm a mermaid, in these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey, but I don't care 'cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice
And it's been here silent all these

Years go by, will I still be waiting for somebody else to understand
Years go by, if I'm stripped of my beauty and the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by, will I choke on my tears 'til, finally there is nothing left
One more casualty, you know we're too easy, easy, easy

Well, I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now
But, baby, don't look up- the sky is falling
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
Hmm, it's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin' at you, here taken hold of my hand
Yeah, I can hear them

But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of yours with her name still on it
Hey, but I don't care 'cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice
I hear my voice, I hear my voice, and it's been here
Silent all these years. I've been here silent all these years
Silent all these, silent all these years

"Between The Lines"

Janis Ian

There's never much to say between the moments of
Our games and repartee
There's never much to read betweeen the lines of
What we need and what we'll take
There's never much to talk about or say aloud,
But say it anyway
Of holidays and yesterdays, and broken dreams
That somehow slipped away
In books and magazines on how to be and what to see
While you are being
Before and after photographs teach how to pass
From reaching to believing
We live beyond our means on other people's dreams
And that's succeeding
Between the lines of photographs I've seen the past
It isn't pleasing

So strike another match
We'll have another cup of wine
And dance until the evening's dead
Of too much song and time
There's never much to speak about
Or read between the lines
Of what we dream about
When we're apart
And no one's looking on
To say you're mine

It was a good year then, it was a good year then,
We all remember
The time you threw the looking glass and seemed a fool
Or very clever
Don't spoil it all, I can't recall a time when you were
Struck without an answer
We'll live a quiet peaceful time between the lines
And go together

And I'm striking up the band to play our last hurrah
We'll dance until we've killed another evening off
Don't think of anyone but me
I'll have no lovers on the side
Tonight is all we've ever dreamed about
For once let's get it right
We'll go down flying in the end
Through another bottle in between the lines
I'll go down like a ship of state
Let's be gracious now
Between the lines

"At Seventeen"

 

Janis Ian

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
and high school girls with clear skinned smiles
who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth
And those of us with ravaged faces
lacking in the social graces
desperately remained at home
inventing lovers on the phone
who called to say - come dance with me
and murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems at seventeen
A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
whose name I never could pronounce
said - Pity please the ones who serve
They only get what they deserve
The rich relationed hometown queen
marries into what she needs
with a guarantee of company
and haven for the elderly
Remember those who win the game
lose the love they sought to gain
in debentures of quality and dubious integrity
Their small-town eyes will gape at you
in dull surprise when payment due
exceeds accounts received at seventeen
To those of us who knew the pain
of valentines that never came
and those whose names were never called
when choosing sides for basketball
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
when dreams were all they gave for free
to ugly duckling girls like me
We all play the game, and when we dare
we cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
that call and say - Come dance with me
and murmur vague obscenities
at ugly girls like me, at seventeen

Donna Summer

Spring was never waiting for us dear
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh, no

(we never did have 'it')

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh, no

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down

I don't think that I can take it

And I'll never have that recipe again, oh, no

"The Miracle of Love"

 

Eurythmics

How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusion
That's covering your mind?
I'll show you something good
Oh I'll show you something good.
When you open your mind
You'll discover the sign
That there's something
You're longing to find

The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again.

Cruel is the night
That covers up your fears.
Tender is the one
That wipes away your tears.
There must be a bitter breeze
To make you sting so viciously
They say the greatest coward
Can hurt the most ferociously.
But I'll show you something good.
Oh I'll show you something good.
If you open your heart
You can make a start
When your crumbling world falls apart.

The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again.

"Who's That Girl?"

 

Eurythmics

The language of love
Slips from my lover's tongue
Cooler than ice cream
And warmer than the sun
Dumb hearts get broken
Just like china cups
The language of love
Has left me broken on the rocks

But there's just one thing
(Just one thing)
But there's just one thing
And I really wanna know

Who's that girl
Running around with you?
Tell me
Who's that girl
Running around with you?

The language of love
Has left me stony gray
Tongue tied and twisted
At the price I've had to pay
Your careless notions
Have silenced these emotions
Look at all the foolishness
Your lover's talk has done

"Sweet Dreams"

Eurythmics

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody is looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

I want to used you and abused you
I want to know what's inside
Moving on hold your head,
Moving on keep your head,
Moving on hold your head,
Moving on keep your head,
Moving on hold your head,
Moving on keep your head,
Moving on.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

I gotta used you and abused you
I gotta know what's inside
I gotta used you and abused you
I gotta know what's inside you

"Love Is a Stranger"

Eurythmics

Love is a stranger
In an open car
To tempt you in
And drive you far away

[Chorus:]
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

Love is a danger
Of a different kind
To take you away
And leave you far behind
And love love love
Is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it
And you still can't
Get enough of the stuff

It's savage and it's cruel
And it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood
And it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal
It distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up
And you're left like a zombie

[Chorus]

It's guilt edged
Glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble in the debris

[Chorus]

"Wish You Were Here"

Pink Floyd

So so you think you can tell
heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
do you think you can tell
Did they get you to trade
your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
for a lead role in the cage
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Runnin' over the same old ground
What have we found the same old fears
Wish you were here

"Everybody Hurts"

 

R.E.M.

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.

If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.

"Big Log"

Robert Plant

My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by
And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night
And the questions in thousands take flight

My love is a miles in the waiting
The eyes that just stare and the glance at the clock
And the secret that burns and the pain that would stop
And it's [Incomprehensible]

Leading me on
Leading me down the road
Driving beyond
Driving me down the road

My love is exceeding the limit
Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles
Distance and longing, my thoughts do collide
Should I rest for a while on the side

Your love is cradled in knowing
Eyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll come
Sensing too well when the journey is done
There is no turning back, no
There is no turning back, on the run

My love is in league with the freeway
Oh with the freeway and the coming of night-time
My love
My love is in league with the freeway

"Stairway To Heaven"

 

Led Zeppelin

There's a lady that's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird that sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
When the voices of those who standing looking.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Well Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

"With Your Love"

 

Jefferson Starship, Jefferson Airplane

Don't know what's happened to me since I met you
Feel like I'm fallen in love since I met you

I've got to know what you're doin', doin' to me with your love
With your love
What you're doin', doin' to me with your love
With your love
What you're doin', doin' to me with your love
With your love
What you're doin' babe it feels so good whatever it is

Knew from the start it had to be you
You got my heart, I don't know what I'm gonna do
With your love

Heaven sent the sign, then sent you
I'm goin' out of my mind since I let you

I've got to know what you're doin', doin' to me with your love
With your love
What you're doin', doin' to me with your love
With your love
What you're doin', doin' to me with your love
With your love
What you're doin' babe it feels so good whatever it is

Whatever it is and whatever it's called
I know that it's you, I can't help getting involved
With your love

Baby, sweet baby
Take it away

With your love
With your love
With your love

Whatever you did to me, well you sure did it good
My heart's filled with lovin' and I knew that it would
With your love

Don't know what's happened to me since I met you
I feel like I'm fallen in love since I met you

I've got to know what you're doin', doin' to me with your love
With your love
What you're doin', doin' to me with your love
With your love
What you're doin', doin' to me with your love
With your love
What you're doin' babe it feels so good whatever it is

Knew from the start it had to be you
You got my heart I don't know what I'm gonna do
With your love
Baby sweet baby

Until We 'Do'

better we
can't.

On The 'Alone'

highway of life
where were you?
when you needed you?
'It's' NOT out there.
'It's' lost in time in
space, thought &
you wearing the
inside out soo you
can 'be' out there. "..
Sitting by the phone
waiting for some 1
to call. ..Is there any
1 out there...?"
The Floyd

Stars (Suns) Are

'the' spotlight
of all life the
sub-lime lime-
light.

'Fact Free' News

does not mean
that facts don't
matter if we say
so or not.

The 'Facts'

or 'true truth'
is NOT taking
sides 'it' just 'is'.

Logic, Fairness

truth, fact, etc.
are signs of sick-
ness to a psycho.

The Sooner We

face 'the night'
the sooner the
'Day' will brighten.

We Want

& expect others to
understand How We
feel (based in illusion
or reality?), logical or
not, etc. & wonder Why
others don't Get It &
perhaps nor do you.

Control, Domination

ear, owner ship, etc.
are antithesis to kind-
ness. Cuz we can't get
to love cuz until we
start with kindness
that results from
understanding.

"...Life Is

change..."
Starship

A Generation Got

old another got sold
& like every generation
many got bought & sold
out but hey we just kept
believ'n while all the
evidence said otherwise.

'It's" Possible

to 'hook-up' with-
out physically touch-
ing, just hooked up.

We See Songs

differently when
we read lyrics to
songs we know cuz
we can see 'it' for the
1st time.

False Equivalency

is how so called
Fox News manipulates
feeling over facts while
trashing honesty, fairness
& truth to name a few.

Those Who Feel

that we are stuck
in a bad place real-
eyes what 'being
painted in a corner'
looks & feels like
cuz 'it's' alot like
the life we made up.

The Angst That

many are seeing /
feeling have been
going on behind the
curtain for 35+ yrs.
& time Seems to speed
up as we approach the
grand disillusion but
that's how 'time' 'is'
when the end is in sight
or feeling. All life, including
stars, get real bright just prior
to going out. Time does Not
change but 'our perceptions'
do, it's how we learn to
understand.

Feeling Good With

chronic pain
is feeling less
bad, get there
or just murmur
about.

If Logical

unconditional kindness
does not appear to work
for sure you will feel
better cuz you are better
by wearing the inside out
soo that you can be all
you & will be.

Just Cuz We

became dis-illusioned
in our illusions does Not
mean some things are
not real i.e.. beauty, kindness
caring, by the kids of the
moon, sun & tide "...wait'n
for the stars to align..." &
they are getting closer.
David Gilmour

The Here

& now is
is'm time.

We Need Less

education & more de-
programming cuz..' we
all are just another
brick in the wall...'
The Floyd

The When

& then don't
count in 'the now'.

Life Is Full

of dis-illusion
soo the sooner
we get to un-
illusion the
better.

To Experience Life

we Must take a
deep dive in.

"...Taking My Life

1 day @ a time
cuz I can't think
of what else to do..
tell me what to do..
we get through life
on our own.."

"...Somebody Out

there said 'it' was you
somebody out there
talks like you do..."
Alan Parsons

Sooner Or Latter

we are going to
"?" but later is
now or sooner.

"...Days Are Numbers

(that we made up)
we can only see
so far, 1 day you
will know where
you are....".Yet
'it's' all' the 1 day.
Alan Parsons

"...We Need To Arrive

in a different time
in place..."'The here
& Now.
Alan Parsons

Nothing Is Meant

to be kept, just
experienced.

'Quiet Desperation

Miss You When

I'm looking

"I Feel You"

 

Depeche Mode

I feel you, your sun, it shines.
I feel you within my mind.
You take me there, you take me where the kingdom comes.
You take me to, and lead me through Babylon.

This is the morning of our love.
It's just the dawning of our love.

I feel you, your heart, it sings.
I feel you, the joy it brings.
Where heaven waits, those golden gates, and back again.
You take me to, you lead me through oblivion.

This is the morning of our love.
It's just the dawning of our love.
I feel you, your precious soul, and I am whole.
I feel you, your rising sun, my kingdom comes.

I feel you, each move you make.
I feel you, each breath you take.
Where angels sing and spread their wings my love's on high.
You take me home to glory's throne by and by.

This is the morning of our love.
It's just the dawning of our love.
This is the morning of our love.
It's just the dawning of our love.

"Precious"

Depeche Mode

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to You?

We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put You through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your heart for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

"Master And Servant"

 

Depeche Mode

There's a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
It's a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
It's a lot like life
And that's what's appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Domination's the name of the game
In bed or in life
They're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled
At the end of the day
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant

PS, just remember we get what we allow.

"Walking in My Shoes"

Depeche Mode

I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

"In Your Room"

Depeche Mode

In your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will
Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here
In your favorite darkness?
Your favorite half-light
Your favorite consciousness
Your favorite slave

In your room
Where souls disappear
Only you exist here
Will you lead me to your armchair
Or leave me lying here?
Your favorite innocence
Your favorite prize
Your favorite smile
Your favorite slave

I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

In your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise
Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here?
Your favorite passion
Your favorite game
Your favorite mirror
Your favorite slave

I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

Will I always be here?

"...No One Can

keep the

Depeche Mode

Being Dead

& right does
not help if we
don't pass it on.

If Justice Is

your ultimate
goal you will
find 'it' to be
a just-is system
where like politics
$ is speech & freedom.

Many Children Get

teased by ?, or 'X'
(the thing ?) just
out of reach then
age & still teased
by 'the' illusion
then & now.

'The' World of

illusion that 'we'
created by maintaining
'it', is simply 'the' nest
of cuckoo's & "...we can't
keep the lunes on the
path.." cuz they are
'the' authorities.
The Floyd

When We Tell

some 1 some
thing they know
they say ya I know
but if we don't tell
them some thing
the they 'want' to
know they say why
didn't u tell me; only
issue is knowing what
others know or not. For
sure with feelings or
emotions. Hence,
communication / Life
is art.

Nirvana =

understanding
as best we can
then letting
'it' go.

When We Are Asked

'what are you
thinking?' we
describe what
we are feeling
which is Not
'thinking' it's
emotions which
are based on??.

We Are All

just ordinary
people dong
people stuff
cuz we & all
beings are
programmed
'that' way.

Re. Global Warming

we can't believe in
'the true truth' or
facts, either we
accept 'them' or
not; @ some point
'we' won't have a
choice; as if we ever
did.

Ultimately The

only 'investment'
we make is in our
self via understanding.

The Paranoia

that some one
is watching you
can be just you
watching you.
wanting to wear
the inside out such
that you can be
all you can be.

Illusions Disolve

sans water.

"...We Are Stuck

waiting for the
stars to align..."
& they are getting
closer.
David Gilmour

There Is Nothing

stoic about facing
the true truth or
reality; 'it' only
makes sense.

Just As There

is no 'dark side'
to the moon there
is no 'light side' to
the earth both are
all dark sans the
star.

Wecome My Sons

to the machine
of illusions that
support the propaganda
that we believe.

"Straighten Up and Fly Right"

Natalie Cole

The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that ev'rything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
The monkey grabbed his neck and said, "Now, listen, Jack
Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa, don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in divin'. What's the use of jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa, don't you blow your top"
The buzzard told the monkey, "You're choking me
Release your hold and I'll set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
"Your story's touching, but is sounds like a lie"
Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa, don't you blow your top

"My Funny Valentine"

Sarah Vaughan, Diana Trask

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet your my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Songwriters: LORENZ HART, RICHARD RODGERS

"In Your Time"

In your time
The innocence will fall away
In your time
The mission bells will toll
All along
The corridors and river beds
There'll be sign
In your time

Towering waves
Will crash across your southern cape
Massive storms
Will reach your eastern shores
Fields of green
Will tumble through your summer days
By design
In your time

Feel the wind
And set yourself the bolder course
Keep your heart
As open as a shrine
You'll sail the perfect line

And after all
The dead ends and the lessons learned
After all
The stars have turned to stone
There'll be peace
Across the great unbroken void
All benign
In your time
You'll be fine
In your time
