all the young dudes
feather'd & possessed a sparkling sequined mess, so special & so eloquent heavensent what I meant to say is of all the sounds I hear with my humble human ear none are as delicious or nutritious. o roxy, you're my maggie may more beautiful tonight than you ever were back in the day o roxy, your golden boys make a beautiful noise after all these years you still bring tears to my eyes. sweeter sounds from space were never heard. or a perfect turn of word, like a whirlwind, you blow in again & all the songs have been in my head & heart for o so long It's like listening to a kiss. oh, you'll never know how very much we missed you, dearest o roxy, you're my maggie may more beautiful tonight than you ever were back in the day o roxy, your golden boys make a beautiful noise after all these years you still bring tears to my eyes. |

I feel hot & red & wired
I feel burned out like I've expired. freaky dreams & you are there with glowing eyes & burning hair & & I'm not even dreaming violent. every nerve & every cell they gotta fight to stay alive & well I'm in a world of chronic discontent screaming metal & burning rubber always shoving & raping & cursing each other exploding into violence. try some buy some wheel & deal it buy or steal it if it makes you feel it we want it intense we want our violence. get ready to take it all the way the things they do the words they say it's all so ready to get violent wedding bells all pink & white chocolates & candlelight you & me & we makes three k/ i /s /s /i/ n/ g like a comedy that never played quite right it seems so easy & it looks so clean, all the shiny happy people in the magazines but nothing seems to mean what it meant. a flood of blood & a burning pain broken hearts & throbbing brains the message has been sent & it's violent try some buy some wheel & deal it buy or steal it if it makes you feel it we want it intense we want our violence. get ready to take it all the way the things they do the words they say it's all so ready to get violent |

I re-read silly lines
that made sense at the time pages all stained with tears & red wine & I walk through the airport & read magazines every face that I see so much younger than me & I drink & I think how I don't even miss my glorious past or the lips that I've kissed & I smile to myself at how easy this is.. easy to breathe, easy to live I remember when I would tear myself in two. Over how to be, what to say & what to do did you really like me better then? did you really like me better when I was a fool? So I live in these days but I still have my old ways my future, somehow, she has yet to arrive & I see all around me the Women On Time. Kids & divorces & crisis in midlife so do I surrender & give up my dream for a brick in the wall & a washing machine grow up & get real have a kid in their teens who won't care what I've done where I've been, what I've seen .. & I wonder why I tear myself in two over who to be, where to be & what to do 'cause I know you liked me better then.. I know you liked me better when I was a fool. I'm free to a fault. 45. Playing guitar. Living my life. I fly down the highway sun on my face I belong to nobody. I belong to no place. I cry over poetry. & I laugh at myself. still, I'd rather be me. than anyone else. |

Walking on a cloud to another shore
A luminous and beautiful promise of more Tonight I'll be with you Tonight I'll be with you Walking through time Dancing through space The pearly-gray moon is wearing your face And tonight I'll be with you Tonight I'll be with you Oh I hear your voice Oh I have no choice I follow Swinging on a star Flying around This is so bizarre, maybe I better come down Tonight I'll be with you Tonight I'll be with you Let's go planet hopping Through the universe There's no stopping us Where to first? Tonight I'll be with you Tonight I'll be with you |

You were watching me eat
You were watching me sleep You were a willing sheep And I was little-bo-peep and You were writing it down and You were looking for cracks but I Look good with a knife in my back Valentine, I'm all mine Valentine, I'm all mine With a flick of my wrist and With a twitch of my lid I'll make you wish like hell You never said what you did and With a flick of my tongue and With a lick of my lip You'll never work your way up To where I slipped from Valentine, My steel spine Shines up fine, Valentine Valentine, I'm all mine Shines up fine, Valentine Well I got leather skin And I got a brick head And I got clay feet and A heart of dead lead and I'm all wired up And I got a lotta soul And from what I'm told a golden hole Valentine, My steel spine Shines up fine, Valentine Valentine, I'm all mine Shines up fine, Valentine |

what I feel inside,
sometimes is hard to get out. lost in translation what I'm thinking about. the voices inside... I believe when I hear they come from somewhere between my heart & my ear... INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. here on the inside there's a war going on with what's on the outside where I don't think I belong. when I go outside it's all so crazy out there I like it inside it's so much safer in here. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. if you could turn yourself turn yourself inside out what would I see then? what would you be all about? who's on the inside? behind the cheap paper face some other someone is slowly taking your place. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. |

ever since I was a little kid I wondered
why people did the things they did I wondered why people said the things they said I used to lie awake at night in bed & nobody seemed to be what they seemed & they taught me to stop believing in dreams & told me to work & be pretty & breed but I think & I feel & I need to know why I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE. philosophy, science, mathematics quantum physics...semantics I don't wanna buy thing they're selling meanwhile, all our brains are swelling visitors from outer space & new millennium racists oh yes, history is paling & my surge protection failed, & so I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE. love is power, love is pure, love is the only thing I'm sure of love is e lec tri ci ty felicity, it is life, you see it is the one thing beyond all control. The multi-dimensional-unmeasurable soul Try to contain it. Try to maintain it. no one can explain it I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE. |

what if I said I've
seen a miracle? what if I said my dreams come true? would you believe I have seen these things with my own eyes & saw the world go dark & dead & then go green & blue again you're my Angel. you're my Devil, too. When you fall, raise your eyes & know the sun & moon will rise & lift you up in love, above this mad raging zoo What if I told you you were beautiful? with your scars & missing parts & your painted face? What if I told you, you were very necessary to the chain, the vein, the children of a young & foolish race? you're my Angel. you're my Devil, too. When you fall, raise your eyes & know the sun & moon will rise & lift you up in love, above this raging zoo what if I said I saw the future: & the future was the picture in your head? what if I said to you to paint another picture & you'd wake up in that future that you'd painted, & you did? |
