Daily into Darkness
None of us really know, Daily into Darkness We Go
I’m being swallowed by the rising tide,
And how long before I bare my wrist so you can number it
I’ll climb this cliff and sway
I’m being swallowed by the rising tide
And how long before I throw my fist into the violence
No Good Answer:
Can’t stop flames with fire:
Can’t stop time from churning while it grinds
And I’ll save my mind
But I won’t bury it and I’ll tear these blinds away
New ways, new pain but no patience anyplace...NO!
And there’s no good way to save anything,
When everyone’s a thief and everything decays
There’s no real gain except in giving it all away
And I made this mess But I won’t bury it
And I’ll give it life today and I won’t bury it
No new ways, new pain, but no patience anyplace…
Yeah!
And there’s no real gain, except in giving it all away
Give… Give it away

Roaches in the Lamplight Screaming
What do you want from me, what do you need
Just help yourself to anything, anything
A fool am I who has wandered life to life
But now less and less I see seems to seize my eyes
Fears must be broken the truth should be seen
The wrong may not be evil
Just desperate in need
Caught unaware like a child in a stare
All day All night like a worker in a mine
Illumination burns my eyes like roaches in the lamplight screaming
Lose yourself in a walk in the dark
Erase the past and find who you are
Now tell me can you mend up all your holes
Can you boil your inside…
Until it glows
Say I’m not wrong say, Say I’m not wrong
What do you want for me, what do you need
Just help yourself to anything, anything
Suffering jobs send the spirit deep
Suffering lives make the simple sweet
Suffering bodies send the spirit high
Everybody give what you have inside,
Everybody give what you have inside

Before You Go
Before you go too far away
Show my how to use these these reins
I’m not suppose to be here
But it’s certainly a thrill
And if I can find a hole in the sky to run this horse
Than I will
Waiting, to be clubbed over the head with some noble intention to take my life
But you always know what is right
And before you go too far away
Show me how I may know my way
I’m not suppose to be here
But I’m getting my fill
And if I can find a perfect line to follow than I will
Now the blood runs thin in me
And now the way is hard to see
Feeling and needing and working and bleeding
The dreams in my brain want to flow out
Veins I’ve had enough of waiting
To be clubbed over the head with some strong noble direction
To save my life, To save my life
Before you go,
Throw me a line and give me your mind
You and I are twisted together like ropes and vines
You and I need to realize what we have inside and…
Let it out, Let it out, Let it out, Let it out!
And before I go too far away
I’ll toss you the thoughts I’ve saved
I was never supposed to be here
But I’ll miss it when I leave
And if I can feel what I cannot see
Than I can believe
Than I can believe

Desperate Desolation runs deep
Desperate isolation
Please don’t leave me here naked and alone
Well I have lost my home
And I have lost…
Desperate, Desolation
It runs deep
Desperate Isolation
Please don’t leave me here naked and alone
Well I have lost my home
And I have nothing to hold
Well I have nothing, But I can give
Even though I’m desperate
How much do I need to be worthy
How many lives will I lead
Here is the wave that is carrying
Now let what will be, let it be
Moving along in a faceless crowd
Following signs I know little about
Following the quiet lead, all the time whispering
That I am not alone
Understanding grows;
Holding, letting go
Survive the whip of high and low
I am not alone, I am not alone
And I can see it
All of us are struggling and none of us have gone far
Everyone is struggling and none of us have gone
All of us are struggling and none of us have gone
Everyone is struggling and none of us have gone too far
Shotgun Mouth
Hold your tongue before you speak
Many ships have been burned by their rudders speed
Watch your words that flow out in streams
Safety stays fare from the violent sea
You have a shotgun, called your mouth
Your bullet persuasion,
Keeps knockin other people down
Most of what you’ve ever said are only words thrown from your head in confusion
And all the stirring in your soul cannot be captured by communication
And still you stir with words
Dissolve the violence you ride behind your eyes before you use it
Make friends of your enemy before your hatred becomes the news
And hold your tongue before you speak
Bend the shotgun back and be silent
Silent!

Alive
Follow me I have seen the golden shrine
With burning eyes open wide
Look at you and how you stumble from blunder to blunder
You’re punch drunk from so many failures
Loss after loss leading one to another
There will be better days, and I need to stay alive
We’re torn by desire; animal drive
Alive and we’re not wasted
Our DNA is laced that’s all (I don’t know)
So you don’t know
Just what the hell is going on
And where does all this darkness come from
With heros dead and confusion slamming around in your head
I’ll tell you the truth, we are the blessed to be alive
Torn by desire, Animal drive
Alive
And I’m not wasted, my DNA is laced
That’s all if money is master
And killers and lawyers prey on disaster
We need the slate cleaned with an ending and beginning
The time is drawing near
When thieves grow rich from fear
Alive
Torn by desire, Animal drive
Alive
Look at you, how you fall
Loss to loss
Fall after fall
But you’re not wasted
Your DNA is laced,
That’s all, That’s all

El Cabellero Diablo
The devil cowboy crawls down the post road hill at 3:30 am
Drizzly sky gray leather soul kicks across the grey pavement
Scuffing along the mystery lanes of success with all the middle class lawns
Heated garages no devil outcast is safe near these hedges
The devil outcast cuts into himself
An outsider drifts all alone
With the tragic deafening din of the danger that he is born for
The beauty tuck it away from center stream
Blessed with the vision to succeed without middle class lawns, heated garages
And no devil owner is safe around here
He has broken free, he is wandering
The day of the vagrant is coming
El Cabellero
Rich in his poverty
Carries his treasures in his chest
He goes to Europe, Asia, Africa, the East and West
And sucks the marrow far too rich for the rest with their
Middle class lawns, heated garages, voyeurs TV, and dead magazines
Middle class lawns, heated garages
No devil cowboy is allowed in the village

Peppermint Twist
Come a little closer please
And we will talk of a merger between us
Growing, exploding, truly living
Paying little attention to the codes weaving through the fenceless field
Never accepting the trampled path as real
But I ask one wish,
A peppermint twist
Companionship and a craving taste for danger
Stray away from the gray
Too soon we will be shaking hands with the waiting grave- alive today!
Ride out in style through these dying days
No ball and chain
Danger, play companionship and a craving taste for adventure
Well I ask one wish
A peppermint twist
Companionship and risk
No ball and chain
Just danger, play
The sweetest taste I crave
Closer please
You I need
I crave, I crave
