"A Apolitical Blues"

"A Apolitical Blues"


Well my telephone was ringing
And they told me it was Chairman Mao
Well my telephone was ringing
And they told me it was Chairman Mao
You can tell him anything
'Cause I just don't wanna talk to him now

I've got the apolitical blues
And that's the meanest blues of all
Apolitical blues
And that's the meanest blues of all
I don't care if it's John Wayne
I just don't wanna talk to him now

"A Distant Thunder"

"A Distant Thunder"


Give my best to those I care for
With friends a simple nod will do
I bow to those who've come and gone before me
A handshake to the past
It gets me through
Been a little bit good and a little bit sad
Let the dirt and dust fall where it may

A distant thunder and it takes my breath away
Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
Oh cover my tears

Measured distance through the heartbeats
Measured time holds all my beliefs
These shotgun visions are all I've ever lived with
A scattered mind from a reckless youth
I cover my ears, I cover my eyes
Still all the fears, still heard the lies

A distant thunder and it takes my breath away
Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
Oh cover my tears

Took convention for a rough ride
A genius under glass set adrift
Direction all but fading
Like a kiss that leaves you floating in a trance
The rivers I cross the memories I keep
A minute to smile, forever to weep

A distant thunder and it takes my breath away
Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
Oh cover my tears

A distand thunder, I feel like I'm slippin' under
Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
Of all those times that I've turned and looked away
A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
Oh cover my tears

"Ain't Had Enough Fun"

"Ain't Had Enough Fun"


Woke up this mornin' just about noon
Rolled back on over, it was way too soon
My sensibilities hadn't stirred you see
Might bother some, but it don't bother me

'Cause some people say ain't had enough fun
Some people say ain't had enough fun
I'll tell ya when I'm done
But until that time, ain't had enough fun

Right 'round the corner, right over the hill
Somebody's waitin' for some new thrill
They can wait there all of their life
Spinnin' them wheels 'til the time is right
As for me, I think I'll jump right into the fight

'Cause some people say ain't had enough gun
Some people say ain't had enough gun
I'll tell ya when I'm done
But until that time, ain't had enough fun

Why some people sure wound up tight
I'm here to tell ya Lord - I got too many chills
To feel 'em all in one night

Now who says ya can't teach an old dog new tricks
Jus' fire off a few rounds at the poor boy's kicks
Ruler boy says don't worry
The monkey ain't dead so what's your hurry
The show ain't over so people please grab your seats

'Cause some people say ain't had enough gun
Some people say ain't had enough gun
My time ain't yet begun
So don't say I'm finished, no
I'll tell ya when I'm done
Until that time, I ain't had enough fun

"All That You Can Stand"

"All That You Can Stand"


Might be a story you read in a book
'Bout a girl who drank from the devil's cup
Might be someone you know so well
Just might be me, you never can tell

Le dame Laveau burning at the stake
You're the hero, but just a little bit too late
Might be you, might be me
Might be some gris gris that you just can't see

Spirits in the bedroom
Candles in the hall
Shadows on the ceiling
Don't answer the call

I'm gonna take you back
I'm gonna take you way back
And give you
All that you can stand
I'm gonna give you
All that you can stand

Fires off the coast of Martinique
Stories you've heard, you dare not speak
Down on a rampart, you don't go alone
Might be an angel of mercy
Might be a black cat bone

Echoes in the stairwell
Curtains start to blow
Sugar, Honey, a touch of steel
There's something you should know

I'm gonna take you back
I'm gonna take you way back
And give you
All that you can stand
I'm gonna give you
All that you can stand

Dance Colinda on St. John's eve
Bells on her ankles
Makes you believe
Good time dresses on Lake Pontchatrain
A vision in the rain

Spirits in the bedroom
Candles in the hall
Shadows on the ceiling
Don't answer the call

I'm gonna take you back
I'm gonna take you way back
And give you
All that you can stand
I'm gonna give you
All that you can stand

"All That You Dream"

"All That You Dream"


I've been down, but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more

All, all that you dream
Comes through shinin silver lining
Clouds, clouds change the scene
Rain starts washing all these cautions
Right into your life, makes you realize
Just what is true, what else can you do
You just follow the rule
Keep your eyes on the road that's ahead of you

I've been down, but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more

All of the good, good times were ours
In the land of milk and honey
And time, time adds its scars
Rainy days they turn to sunny ones
Livin' the life, livin' the life lovin' everyone

I've been down, but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
I've been down, but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more

I've been down, but not like this before

"Be One Now"

"Be One Now"


Well I see you so far away
In my memory you will stay
There's a good life, a right way to go
But sometimes I feel so low.

If you wanna love me, wanna be my friend
Be one now, be one now
And you say you need me and you want to share
Darlin', where's your love? Oh darlin', where?

Take a chance, you can't play it safe
Trust your soul, you won't lose your face
Sometimes right but more times wrong
Wrong can turn out right they say
Just a different shade of grey.

There's a moonrise in an eastern sky
Clouds they try but cannot hide
And the storm will cease and the sun will shine
Roll away for all mankind.

If you wanna love me, wanna be my friend
Be one now, be one now
And you say you need me and you say you care
Darlin', where's your love darlin'? Where?

There's a way to better life
Hesitate, you know you'll pay the price
If you ever slip and fall
There's a love here after all, a love here after all.

It's a new day, never mind the past
Lay it down cause it won't last
And you say you need me and you say you care
Where's your love darlin'? Oh darlin', where?

If you wanna love me, wanna be my friend
Be one now, be one now
And you say you need me and you really care.

"Bed Of Roses"

"Bed Of Roses"


She had a drive-by childhood
A plastic jesus on her chest
A mean mean girl
With a certain snake allure
A heart like 16 midnights
And a surgical voice
Keepin' strange for some change

Empty eyes with a haunted look
Leanin' hard, she lost her place
Try as she might
She couldn't take my advice
It's a desperate conclusion
People with a grudge
And a mind you can not budge

Ain't no bed of roses
Tryin' to turn your life around
Ain't no bed of roses
Time won't move no mountain
Just the faith in the leap, my friend

A cliff dwellin' creeper
And a runaway
On the ol' cat slide of town
See how you run, oh see how you pay
Another honest mistake
If dreams are all you need
Then alone is where you'll be

I'm the leader of the middle
And I see that streak in you
Was it somethin' you were born with
Or did it just seep on through?
It's a nightmare on a budget
Just enough to keep you off track
Always somethin' for nothin'
On the road, to hell and back

Ain't no bed of roses
Tryin' to turn your life around
Ain't no bed of roses
(time) won't move no mountain
Just the faith in the leap, my friend
I'm the leader of the middle
And I see that streak in you
Was it somethin' you were born with
Or did it just seep on through?
It's a nightmare on a budget
Just enough to keep you off track
Always somethin' for nothin'
On the road, to hell and back

Ain't no bed of roses
Tryin' to turn your life around
Ain't no bed of roses
(time) won't move no mountain
Just the faith in the leap, my friend
Ain't no bed of roses
Tryin' to turn your life around
Ain't no bed of roses
(time) won't move no mountain
Just the faith in the leap, my friend

"Big Bang Theory"

"Big Bang Theory"


Sit down fool let's have a conversation
I got a few opinions 'bout our co-habitation
What's a matter baby did I do something wrong?
I took out the garbage and I mowed the lawn

This ain't about what you do or don't do
Although I'd like to get into that too
Now, you always complainin' about what I forgot
Now, you runnin' cold when I'm runnin' hot

Doors are slammin' windows rattle
Raise a flag put an end to this battle
It's all of this talk that is makin' us weary
Loves harder to figure that the big bang theory

Looky here baby you could do a lot worse
Well you ain't the center of the universe
Hey, I'm light years better than what you've ever had
Anthropic principles oh so sad
Say what?
Listen up

When I wanna get lucky all we do is fight
Wore yourself out on the remote last night

Doors are slammin' windows rattle
Raise a flag put an end to this battle
It's all of this talk that is makin' us weary
Loves harder to figure that the big bang theory

Now you got me thinkin' 'bout the way things are
Look here bullet-boy, you ain't always right
You can't even find your way home at nights
What's up with that?

I'd like to address the way you bring home the car
You're out-o-gas, full-o-trash
You talkin' trash while you spendin' my cash
What happened to the fender, I'm afraid to ask

You so cute when you're mad
You're a fright when we fight
Must be a better way to spend the night
Opposite attraction began this reaction
100% pure satisfaction
Hey super nova better move on over

'Bout me and you, woman and man
Been this way since time began
Doors are slammin' windows rattle
Raise a flag put an end to this battles
It's all of this talk that is makin' us wary
Loves harder to figure than the big bang theory

"Bill's River Blues"

"Bill's River Blues"


Once moved mountains
Now in the rear view mirror
Divine compromise has taken root
Hand held and guided
To each destination
Robbed of my powers but not of my mind
What's left behind is left behind

The promise in your eyes
Is what I remember
Forbidden yet so tempting
Oh I surrender
The knock on the door had us
Jumpin' out of our skins
I couldn't take it anymore
What's left behind is left behind

There's a light upon the river
From the new moon in the east
It shines way down the valley
And gives me peace
It's the light and the river
They give me peace

The winds that blow
All around here are constant
Up from the south they blow warm and strong
Last year they blew off
My neighbor's roof
It's still layin' in that old open field
What's left behind is left behind

There's a light upon the river
From the new moon in the east
It shines way down the valley
And gives me peace
It's the light and the river
They give me peace

There's a graveyard
In the mountain
Covered in snow
The stones lie there in silence
Beneath the ground
Chalk white bones
The souls circle the sun
They play with the moon
Live amongst the stars
Their reflections on the river
Are gifts to your heart

You have those days
When the truth be told
S'like rollin' and stumblin'
Fallin' down a old gopher hole
Storm overhead lets loose its
Hail and lightning
Weathered and worn torn and afraid
And what's left behind
Is left behind
