I THINK YOU BETTER LEAVE
TIME'S UP
TIME TO RECEIVE
I THINK YOU BETTER LEAVE
GOTTA GO GET UP
ON OUT THE DOOR
I THINK YOU BETTER LEAVE
GO WALK A MILE
AWAY FROM ME


They call me the Weepin' Willow
Laying my head on that tear stained pillow
I'm what they call a Melancholy Baby
Ain't no fluke and don't mean maybe
I've just been put here to cry
And that's until the day I die
No use fighting
It's been a hell of a trip
Don't you say my name
Like it been some kind of game
The choice is still mine and still remains
For sorrow, love, or ill gotten gains

Hostess Cupcake Blues

He goes to Chicago

Spend $300 on a room and a woman

He comes back with $1.50 cupcakes for my birthday

He says don't you see

That shows how much I love you

He bought her fine drinks and meal fit for a king

When he come back home

All I got was these frosted things

Well I got them Hostess Cupcake Blues

That's all I got from him  Man

7 years with that man and 

That's what I mean to him

He says you don't like what I give you

You talk too much

He's out giving roses and candy

To that new girl on his list

Well I got them Hostess Cupcake Blues

That's all I got from him

7 years with that man

That's all I mean to him

I'm a throwaway

A cheap ghetto woman to him

I don't get jewelry or fine wine

But I got those Hostess Cupcake Blues

I forgot to roll it on today

Yes I forgot to roll it on today

Should I run?

Should I hide?

Or back home will I ride?

Cause I forgot to roll it on today!

What a sin

What a shame

We know that she is to blame

There ain't no doubt about it

That smell is comin' from her armpit

Let's run

Let's hide

I must confide

To her I will not sit beside

IF YOU'RE GONNA RUN
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE RUNNING FROM

I know you always hated me

That's now painfully clear

It doesn't matter what you felt

This heart spell knows no fear

My minds been placed on red alert

What's got me I don't know

But quick relief could save this heart

Or else I've got to go

My love for you will always last

Though I'll not see you again

So place me in your past so far

But I'll just be around the bend

My heart is yours

Crush it in your grip

Leave a painful memory
My taste upon your lips

I let you dupe me once

But I still didn't learn

I let you dupe me once more

And next time I'm gonna burn

I let you dupe me again

And now I've been warned

So I'll let you dupe me no more

As sure as I am born

The fuse that you lit

Still burns my heart

Flaming it's way

Towards the trouble it starts

If I lose control

And I let it explode

The payment for losing

Is right down the road

So give me my muzzle

My blindfold and plugs

I don't want to be

Just another of your drugs

I'm not going to take more of your pulling out rugs

If I can't find the strength

To do it on my own

I'll have to walk out 

of this unhappy home

Because you walked in the door

With that look in your eye

Enough to scare apples out of the pie

Now the pickin and chippin is about to begin

If I had any sense I would not try to win

Poem of a 5 year old

There were 3 cowgirls

3 Mom's and Dads

They went into a bar

and had some banana splits and rootbeer floats

They they went home and had a great big bubble bath

And some turkey

And then they went out to play

by Emily

I'm going to feel sorry for myself today

Because I can't have my way

I'm going to kick and scream

Stick my lip out

I'll yell and fight

Cry and pout

Play me a song about love, peace and kindness
Hatred caused a lot of bad things regardless
Cash and crummy deals, thrown outs
Bent old wheels  played a lot
About cryin' times again
If I care about homes I won't go alone
Crashed and heartaches gone along my friend
Dread the lot of empty dreams
Chased one for too long it seems
Crazy nights longing for someone else
Play me a song about love, peace and kindness

Like the pony with a man on his back

I got the feeling you're a party girl

Special in her own little world

And I can't seem to get rid of my belly

And I can't date a man who is prettier than me

We are the angels work albeit

And I bet they get pretty darned tired of it

We sure don't do what they want us to

Why is that? I must say to be out every Friday night and some Saturdays

We are being rebels

Meeting ourselves over and over again

like we're supposed to do

Don't fight it  I tell you try

Feel where the river takes you

Flow into it

Mold and twist until it breaks you

Are you man enough

Master baiter man

man or child

childman 

manchild

More than anything
I love the dream of you
Everyday and every way
To feel the dream of you
Constant pulsing endlessly
To touch the dream of you
Bleed me dry
To please the dream of you
To be the slave of the dream of you
Befriend the dream of you
Lay next to the dream of you
Dance with the dream of you
Hold on tight to the dream of you
Sing and play the dream of you
Lay down the dream of you for the dream of me


It was a sundown snow
It came as fast as it went

All my friends drink beer like

vultures picking clean the dead

TEMPTATION

Her urges got the best of her

He's out runnin 'round

TEMPTATION

There's a spell abounding

It's lain it's cloak over my shoulders

TEMPTATION

A yearning for lips to kiss

and a body to caress

TEMPTATION

Everywhere you'll find it

You can't run away

TEMPTATION

It's in our eyes, the wanting

the emptiness fulfillment

TEMPTATION

I want you, you want me

If only we were alone

TEMPTATION

It really doesn't matter who

Amongst a sea of faces

TEMPTATION

Desire haunts deep within the flesh

Past experience guides you

TEMPTATION

You're hooked, addicted after the first

All conscious choice is lost

TEMPTATION

You will never be free of me
You got lucky that day you came to be
I will never leave you alone
For you are mine and mine to own


She's going where people gonna treat her right
She's going home

She took off for Texas one day
Said she had to get away
Said that she had had enough
Couldn't take no more of the stuff

She's going home to Texas
On a big jet plane
She's going home
It's going to take away the pain
Moved on down to Houston town
She's gonna put up another fight
She's done with hurting on the plain


It was all a dream I had one Saturday morning
Gloria Estefan made me cry and I don't know why
They told me it was good
That what I did could
Make them feel the way
They had wished for so long a day
It was all a wish
I had because I felt like shit
And I said to myself  I am shit
I can't I move and groove
Edgar Cayce said it wasn't time yet
Eat your folic acid and shut up
Because you are just a vessel
Full of love you sit on a pedestal
Vestal virgin Mother Earth pray
Till dawn with me for the babies
and all the dead babies   All waiting
Waiting to come back   To play with
toys and be happy.
It isn't a question for you to ask
All but that.  I want the truth
The real truth   I'm ready    Help me

I've wanted you for so long
I don't know how to be free
I've filled my mind with your sweet kiss
On my lips imagery


It's been a long time since I've been
free of your song

You lassoed my heart for so long
It'll take my song away; Freedom
left a long time ago

So tell me now I'll never see
you again.  Or I've never
seen at all who you are
or where you've been

I'll walk away and close my
door without a long look back to even the score
Which way I'll go
I don't know
But I'm lying when I say
You're not in my dreams

So goodbye and place me at the
bottom of your list, of so long
so far, so gone bye bye lovers

I'll pray for the key to this ball and chain
But no way can I ever be free
Take me Take me in my dreams


We're walking on some new ground
Not certain where we're bound
But each step feels right
Good sweet lovin' shining bright
Crystal clear love for each other
Know and seeing each one as brothers
Solid devotion
It rings of a new era
Of love and peace and kindness forever

CRASH BANG   HERE WE GO AGAIN

OH TELL ME BABY WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

CRASH BANG  THIS LOVIN'S MIGHT HARD

WE BREAK OUR HEARTS EACH TIME THE FIGHTIN STARTS

CAN'T WE PLAINLY SEE

THAT OUR LOVE IS TRUE?

WHY MUST WE PUNCH AND BUST EVERYTHING IN THE ROOM

CRASH BANG   LOOK OUT FOR THAT TREE

IF ONLY LOVE WASN'T SUCH A MYSTERY

Today is the tomorrow

We talked about yesterday

You've got me saying things I don't mean
And meanin' things I don't say
Yesterdays tomorrow
And tomorrow's yesterday
I wish I was beside you
Snugglin warm and tight
But a woman to you is cross and cold
Just lookin for a fight

Fresh and sharp you are
Your glance cuts like a knife
Straight through my heart
I'll fight with you come day or night
And at daybreak long to hold you tight



I've held out for just too long
Hoping to come back home
Crying my emptiness out
In songs about she done him wrong
But crying won't do no good
My pillow just feels like wood
I lost what I never had
And oh it hurts so bad

Why did you go away

I think about you everyday

Praying that things could be different

But what else can I say?

Lost is my hope for you

I don't know what to do

Emptiness fills my life

If only I could be your wife

And just in case you're listening to me

Try and touch your heart to see

That I'm not telling vicious lies

Oh won't you look into my eyes

I'm calling out your name all night

Dreaming just of your true sight

Cause you're all I've got to call my own

Please don't leave me here alone

Tomorrow will be different

I'm gonna change

Today is gone and will not come again

Except for in my dreams

Will it always be one day at a time?

Can I take a break and go on cruise control?

Tomorrow will be different

I'm gonna change

The pressures getting higher

The temperatures getting hotter

Tops gonna blow off

Ain't no comin down

Tomorrow will be different

I'm gonna change

Left to tackle another day

Fresh with new ideas

Hold me back for one more second

I might ricochet

Tomorrow will be different

I'm gonna change

Take my love
Feel my love
Breathe my love
Be my love

Raise your glass - Toast bright sunshine

It's alright Mama - Blood tastes like wine

Jesus  you could've loved me

But you never will

Jesus you could've wanted me

I guess I wonder still

Hearts and faces

Times and locations

Strip me down

Like I've got no sensation

I'm burning the candle at both ends for you

This dream is killing me

It's taking me away

It's jerking me all around

But I've nothing left to say

Won't you take me to your world

The places that you love

Share you dreams with me

Give your heart a shove

I want to hold your face

To hold it in my hands

I saw you coming through the crowd
I wanted you to say out loud
I love you  I love you
Take me away

And then I saw you walk away

My heart went thump

I couldn't take it

When I knew you wanted me too

The love between me and you

Will never happen I know it's true

But across the miles

When I close my eyes

It's you I see, that makes me smile

I lie alone here everynight

Without your arms to hold me tight

But I'll never know just how they felt
A love like yours was mean to last
But me my life it's just too fast
And I know I'll never settle down

That love between me and you

Will never happen I know it's true

But across the miles

When I close my eyes

It's you I see, that makes me smile

Well you left the gate ajar
And I'm walking out and not looking back
All I see is clear skies ahead
Gone are the fences that imprisoned my mind and heart
My head is free of your dream filling it every night
There's a crack in that hold you have on me
Freedom straight ahead

I learned a lot about playing games

From a lot of men, I don't remember names

I thought I'd try some of those games on you

But it seems those games started playing me too

Well we know just what we've seen and what we've bled

It's not always what we mean or what we've said

When you killed him
You killed me
He and I were meant to be


He is FOR me
For now

Says he's gonna love
Gonna make me smile

Says he's gonna love me
Make my heart go skip

Gonna take me for a ride
In his rocketship

She used to be pretty
Now she's just used
He lost her today and he's feeling confused
But she is gone for good
And she's taken all she could
And she used to be pretty
Now she's just used

He can't leave her things alone
She longs for privacy
The only place she goes
Is out to get groceries

The bills were due yesterday
She seems to pay and pay and pay
But she used to be pretty
Now she's just used

Unhappiness is her name, the circles are under her eyes
She longs to be free, away from all those lies
Nobody takes a second look
She's closing that old book
But she used to be pretty
Now she's just used

It's wearing on her soul, wishin she had a maid
California's lookin good just to get away
There ain't no easy way out
Nobody knows what she's about
Because she used to be pretty
Now she's just used
Oh she used to be pretty
Now she's just used

Hang me up and beat me with the dream of life
But I will always love you through sorrow or strife
Your images alone haunt me all through the night
And wake me my lover with dawn's early light
Freedom from this, it seems will be hard to find
For I dearly love you, inside of my mind
Yes, my soul is not willing to leave you behind

The ability of stronger men
to subtract life from the equation of women
has been an overriding fact since the
beginning of human kind.  The prize
goes to the highest bidder and when
no longer wanted or needed
destroyed like a dog.  Oh what a shame
oh what a thief. to steal something so
sacred.  the price to pay remains
to be seen. between Heaven and Hell.
Power rules mercilessly when life is on
the table, then buries the remains with
forgotten silence.
What is to be done? To balance the scale
Nothing my friend. Nothing indeed.

Help me I'm falling

I'm feeling weak

What can I do

to keep on loving you?

My heart belong to you

But he's always on my mind

How many people will die tonight?

Will you always come back to me?

You could've asked
Why did you assume
That I would say no
I didn't want you

You could've asked
To see what I'd say
That I would be your
At least one time today

Take my heart's love
And throw it away
To live life alone
The rest of your days

We'll Be Traveling Down "Old Guilt Highway"

If you take a lover, you better beware
I'm telling you that you better take care
They'll try to take your body for their very own
And pull you tight, if they think that you'll roam
So don't try to throw that trip my way
Or we'll be traveling down Old Guilt Highway
Take the time to notice
What you think you own
Let me tell
They won't ever leave you alone

I have to tell you baby
I ain't no adulterer
But if you hold me any tighter
I think I will burst

Give me a wishing well
I want to make a wish
I want to bait my hook
But I ain't lookin for a fish
I throw my coins down
Deep and low
And wish your love
Would take me home
Wish me into your arms
Where I'll find your charms
Wish me into your space
Where I'll find your grace

My honest soul
has never been in want
It has always known
it has a home
Waiting expectantly
to see me again
It is the one truth
that never dies
Forever and ever and ever
Amen

We bristled with joy
For the new baby boy

We brought him our love
And a toy from above
He blossoms with valor
For now and everafter +

I'm Trouble with a capital T
And if you don't believe it
Just try me and you'll see

I'm Trouble at loving
And living honestly

I'm Trouble at everything
That seems to fit in between

And as far as you can see
I'm Trouble at feeling

And flying straight
I'll never be

So get out of my way
That's all there is for me

Headlights and highway
Is forever right with me

So do yourself a favor
Play your cards right
And walk or run away

Or you'll be
In Trouble as far as You can see

And that's okay with me
Because misery loves company

I can't do this anymore
Why do you make me feel like running away?
Why do you hurt me so much?
Why are you exactly like another person who hurts me?
Why have you continued to lie to me?
Why do you talk behind my back?
Why is there no loyalty?
Why are you so empty?
Why don't you quit hurting me today.
