So Much To Say

I say my hell is the closet I’m stuck inside
Can’t see the light
And my heaven is a nice house in the sky
Got central heating and I’m alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah...can’t see the light
Keep it locked up inside don’t talk about it
Talk about the weather
Can’t see the light
Open up my head and let me out, little baby
Here we have been standing for a long, long time
Treading trodden trails for a long, long time
I say my hell is the closet I’m stuck inside
Can’t see the light
and my heaven is a nice house in the sky
Got central heating and I’m alright
Here we have been standing for a long, long time
Treading trodden trails for a long, long time
I find sometimes it’s easy to be myself
Sometimes I find it’s better to be somebody else
I see you young and soft oh little baby
Little feet, little hands, little baby
One year of cryin’and the words creep up inside
Creep into your mind
So much to say
Here we have been standing for a long, long time
Treading trodden trails for a long, long time
I find sometimes it’s easy to be myself
Sometimes I find it’s better to be somebody else
So much to say
Open up my head and let me out
Little baby

Crash into me

You’ve got your ball you’ve got your chain
Tied to me tight tie me up again
Who’s got their claws in you my friend
Into your heart I’ll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock and sweet you roll
Lost for you I’m so lost for you
You come crash into me
And I come into you, I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I’m bare-boned and crazy for you
When you come crash into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
If I’ve gone overboard
Then I’m begging you to forgive me
In my haste
When I’m holding you so girl...close to me
Oh and you come crash into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me
In a boys dream...in a boys dream
Oh I watch you there through the window
and I stare at you
You wear nothing but you wear it so well
Tied up and twisted, the way I’d like to be
For you, for me, come crash into me

Too Much

Straight in, suck up and go, cool it, swallow, swallow
Breathe deep, take it all it comes cheap
Push it through the doors because in between the lines
I’m gonna pack more lines so I can get in
Ooh traffic jam got more cars than a beach got sand
Suck it up, suck it up, suck it up, fill it up until no more
I’m no crazy creep, I’ve got it coming to me because I’m not satisfied
The hunger keeps on growing
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
I’ve got to get it somewhere
I mean, you never know, maybe you’re dreaming
Who do you think you’re watching
Who do you think you need
Play for me, play more, ten times in the same day
I need more, I’m going over my borders
I’m going to take more, more from you, letter by letter
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
I told, god, I’m coming to your country
I’m going to eat up your cities, your homes, you know
I’ve got a stomach full it’s not a chip on my shoulder
I’ve got this growl in my tummy and I’m gonna stop it today
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
Suck it up....

Under the Table and Dreaming

What Would You Say

Up and down the puppies’ hair
Fleas and Ticks jump everywhere
’Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
’Cause of original sin
Rip away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime’s passed you by
What would you say
Don’t drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don’t cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don’t bite the mailman
What would you say
I was there when the bear
Ate his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the end
Knock knock on the door
Who’s it for, there’s nobody in here
Look in the mirror, my friend
I don’t understand at best
And cannot speak for all the rest
The morning rise a lifetime’s passed me by
Every dog has its day every day has its way
Of being forgotten - Mom it’s my birthday
What would you say

Satellite

Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station
Winter’s cold, spring erases
And the Calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite
Satellite headlines read
Someone’s secrets you’ve seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more, tell me more
Who’s the king of your satellite castle?
Winter’s cold, spring erases
Rest high above the cloud; no restriction
Television we bounce ‘round the world
And while I spend these hours five senses reeling
I laugh about this weatherman’s satellite eyes

Ants Marching

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he’s rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends, the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
And these crimes between us grow deeper
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns he forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming
Driving along this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged, no time to exchange when
All the little ants are marching
Red and black antennae waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way
Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by weight loss
Program cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end cut cut
On the fence, not to offend
Cut cut cut cut
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
Lights down you up and die
