Riding the edge of a coin

Tumbled emotions clang hard off reality, leaving behind

Bumbled commotions, slang card, too real to me, heaving me

Can’t get a thought straight, weak signals rule our fate and

Then everything slides into place, the eyes on mine see the

Sliding through mechanisms, a series of complex schisms, dropping

Dumped, counted, and sorted, every single move reported, with

Statistics on a list somewhere, bought and sold, swapped for

Darkness runs away, a glow comes over the place, the eyes on

Drifting off into slumber

Panic spreading around the town, and the violence amplifies

Hell ripped open and there’s demons comin right up through

Fear not fellow citizens the chimera lies slain, the hero

That’s right it’s that dashing hero of dreamland, preserving

Pet the dogs, fluff my pillow and kill the light

Close my eyes and join my adventure tonight

Saving the planet after bedtime, sawing up lumber

I can do anything anytime, as I’m drifting off into slumber

You might wonder can I pull a rabbit from a hat? A rabbit,

And I can be where you need in a flash, catch you when you

Have a stiff drink ready right before you explode, help you

Get you smiling, get you ready to go and you’ll be heading

Pet the dogs, fluff my pillow and kill the light

Close my eyes and join my adventure tonight

Saving the planet after bedtime, sawing up lumber

I can do anything anytime, as I’m drifting off into slumber

Fix what’s wrong, make everything right

Lots to do before the morning light

Pack one more, hit me one more number

High time for me to be drifting off into slumber

Chill trippin in your dreams

Nights and days, emptiness stays, and the brain rationalizes

But you know the heart, tears it apart, loneliness he

Score’s tied extra inning, play 10 more if I’m winning check

It’s just you and me as you reset your motor sleeping honey

Not what we planned, bitch loud or understand, was not your

Don’t bother to dwell, this situation went to hell, baby

You can use it to serenade me tomorrow as we lie close

Till then I’ll close my eyes and imagine running with you

Huggin and kissing, the woman I am missing, since first she

Celebrate the occasion, we don’t need much persuasion, mutually

Passionate crescendo amplified through our bodies, never

Woman you captivate me, anxiously while I’m waiting on your

I can’t wait

Ever since I was knee high on mama’s leg, still trying to

I would get so excited for a party at the house, never came

I still fell pretty much the same way; having  parties here and it always takes forever for

Good things spend far too much time hanging out with others,

I can’t wait

Every time I know something I like is on the horizon, like an

Or a teenage girl with a mountain of dresses, can’t choose

I’m that way when I think about you girl! I remember the way

Start talking goofy and I get dizzy like at the fair when I

I can’t wait

You’re overdue for that hugging and kissing, I’m searching

Pulling up memories of your sweet love, those riveting eyes

Why does there always have to be trouble?  We build a little dream and we’re left

It’s time to put an end to our drama, we need to pick up where

I can’t wait

I know the feeling, when our two hearts beat together

Hot or cold, we don’t care about the weather

It’s always bright sunshine when we embrace

Nothing but smiles all around the place

I can’t wait!

So hurry already, would ya?

Social cancer

Every day I see the news, corruption or guns you choose

Gunfire erupting without warning; innocence meets blues

Double dealing white collar, payoffs in the back-room parlor

Top secret files in the shower stall while he starts to

Students shaking wondering who’s next? Some say it’s the

Politicians pose for network news cameras and shake their

No one wants to venture a guess, they say it’s our God given

They mean the one on the cross, the one Hollywood colored

They like to wag their fingers, use theatrics to disguise

But mister if you ask me they’re the root cause of our

The right and the left in a tug of war, who’s going to cave,

One side is propping up a criminal while the other is trying

Where is Camelot these days? Who will take up the reins

Hail to the chief, and let us usher in a new method to build

No one wants to take that chance, private enterprise reaps

Too much bad feeling about political figures and their

They like to wag their fingers, use theatrics to disguise

But mister if you ask me they’re the root cause of our

Social cancer eats away at people on the street, they argue

Over rainbows and inclusion, nothing but confusion, add in

Social cancer fed by Tucker like a TV dinner, praising

While the fat cats in the board room count their money, so I

Social cancer has a cure something we all can do. Kill it. Stop

Understand the issues and reason out something plausible

Fuck social cancer, let’s live in peace!

Come to me

I’m lyin alone in bed,

The sting of the cool night

Holding my pillows wondering,

See two hearts creating a

Come to me, show me again, a touch

Come to me woman let’s take a

Come to me

Morning brings promise like blood,

Blossoming into another

Washes over me and carry’s me

As you see me safely to a bed

Come to me, show me again, a

Come to me woman let’s take a

Come to me

Your own fire hydrant 

Dotting the city streets, sometimes yellow or red

Handy hydrant plugs keep those fire hoses fed

Providing you with security and if it gets too hot 

They might open one to create a cool down spot

And speaking of Spot, traditionally dogs lift their legs 

Or they get hugged by a drunkard sunken to the dregs

The fire hydrant gets no respect from cartoon’s either 

Mr Magoo runs over one and I laugh until I need a breather

The poor thing though. It’s main job and purpose is to save

To try to keep your valuables safe, and to save you

I’m finding that I share a lot of those traits too

I don’t know why but I still want to keep you safe

But the rest of the stuff is really starting to chafe 

Your own fire hydrant wants a new coat of paint and a fence

Keep Spot at bay and he also humbly requests your presence 

Signed your own fire hydrant, the beat up old plug

Remember, no pee, presence and a great big hug

Hold fast to the dreams

Cloudy skies with eyes to

Open fire with one desire to catch

Light the blues what’s the

Sad song something’s wrong can’t

Tongue tied, babe I tried, but

Said hold tight, it will be

Tightly to our future, bonded

Shared desires, shared fires,

Sunny days, music plays lounging

Best parts, these hearts, smile

Need to persevere, the time

Sunsets and sunrise, satiates

Hold fast to the dreams, regardless

Those are the stakes, whatever

Hold fast to the dreams

Side by side at peace, a

Babe just hold fast to the

Thumpin’ & Grumpin’

Someone is making way too much noise, son of a bitch I

Who is that driving way too fast down my road? I swear one

Went outside to holler and I stepped in fresh poop, on my

While I’m sittin’ here waitin’ on my baby to call, on my way

Sometimes when I have days like these

Simplest thing takes me to my knees

I try to clear my mind and think of my special somethin’

An image of my babe in my mind stops my thumpin’ &

Turn on the TV and news drives me mad, too many people die

Guns and money, use one to get the other, shoot a stranger, hell

It gets me so angry I yell at the screen, hurling insults at

I stop and think for a minute and sadly realize, all this

Sometimes when I have days like these

Simplest thing takes me to my knees

I try to clear my mind and think of my special somethin’

An image of my babe in my mind stops my thumpin’ &

I’m just going to take a minute to relax and chill

Ease my tensions and let everything be still

Just clear my mind and think of my special somethin’

That’s you babe, come on help me stop my thumpin’ &

Crossed

The red one is positive, black one’s negative you must use

Put the wrong one in the wrong place and you lose your hair

Fried like an egg in a sizzling hot frying pan on the range

Even if you don’t die, you look funny and act a bit strange

Everything was making sense and I was sure I knew where I

Then nothing looked familiar, felt confused and the F bombs

But I didn’t check the wires, I never bothered looking at

Neither seemed important to me cause I was too busy for that

Blew the fuse, singed my hair, took a drive to blow some

That’s just the way it goes when you hurry and you get your

Sunshine feels so wonderful but the warmth dissipates too

How come the good stuff in life never seems to want to last

Warm me long after the sun has tilted to the winter axis

Ease my distressed emotions and make sure my mind relaxes

You know how to connect the cables to make that engine turn

Heard every word I said cause you didn’t want your hair to

Those very same ears failed to hear my pleas or even

Though you say that you can’t wait for our tomorrow’s they’re

Hop the fence, grab the dog, hit the road and get home babe

The boys and I are waiting for you anticipating your arrival
