Chapter One
SOUND IN THE SKY In the sky is where I lie,
The world could be on fire,
And you wouldn't hear a sign,
I could hear a cry,
If I try.
You know what I mean,
Some things come
Some things go,
But I wouldn't really know,
So, the story goes,
And so the story goes.
ALLEGORY Look inside yourself
Tell me what you see
Look,
Inside of me,
Tell me where you oughta be,
I need someone to hold me in.
I need your love again and again.
ALONE Come and see me,
I've been so lonely,
I got no woman or girl by me,
I need a girl to set my love free like an ever disbursing sea.
You could show me something new,
But I'll take the lead.
Like roots to a tree.
THE STILL NIGHT The night is still
Like the calm sea
When the moon is not pulling its gravity.
LONELINESS BLUES POEM I've been stepped on by the world so much,
I'm surprised I'm not flat,
Can't get no love,
Can't get no slack.
INSIDE OF ME Don't push me in a corner,
Like a cornered animal,
Because you might not like what you hear.
Trying to alter my decisions,
Opinions,
My life with what you think my weakness is,
By sending in a pretty face,
A pretty smile,
A walking alteration to try to change my mind.
Telling me through actions not words you don't want this,
Because you won't get that.
Telling me through mind signals,
That people with male genitalia have pussies,
You have something to say
Use that hole in the lower part of your head,
Above your chin,
And say what's on your mind.
Use it or lose it.
THE LIZARD My heart is like a lizard who loses his or her legs
And becomes a snake for not being put to use.
A wheel that never gets turned,
A dusty coin slot.
Telling me something isn't there when it is.
METAL MAN I'm not your robot,
Your do what man
Your salesman for free
Or your buying man for no money.
I give you what you want,
But what do ya give me?
I'll tell ya,
I'm not your punching bag or dart board
to throw your shit on me.
THE TREK BEAM Sometimes I wish I could be directly summoned
to where I want to go
Or be like some Star Trek movie,
Now beam me up,
Beam me to there directly.
VOODOO GIRL She said another world makes her smile,
Like a crocodile.
Skulls and dolls is what she calls her world,
That's what I call a girl.
CAN YOU TAKE ME THERE (Can I Be There Again) The place was dark when I walked through the door,
Neon lights and a fluorescent glow.
I saw her from across the room
Eyes stared at me,
The songs played jagged,
The smoke of sandalwood,
...
