Climb Another Mountain

Long trips start with short steps

Cut the cord, sever all attachments

One bag, and a head full of baggage

Don’t know what you need till you put it in perspective

 

All the worry

All the hurry

All the women I loved them all too early

Take a journey

Taste the fountain

Tame an ocean

Climb another mountain

 

Tsuan Zang and the Buddhist Sutra

Don Juan and the Kama Sutra

No one can look into your future

Gotta find a way around the seven-headed hydra

 

The seven-headed hydra

Slithering inside ya

Never let it find ya

 

All the worry

All the hurry

All the women I fell in love too early

Take a journey

Taste the fountain

Tame an ocean

Climb another mountain

Across the desert

In the canyons

Through the forest the road is my companion

Take a journey

Taste the fountain

Tame an ocean

Climb another mountain

 

CONFRONTED

Don’t look in my eyes, they’re my disguise, they tell lies.

If you look in my heart, my reckless heart, you’d know why.

Carelessly, I lived my life before knowing you.

Carefully, I let you slip into my life.

But I’d be running from the law,

And I’d be running from your pa,

And I’d be running from your ma,

And I’d be running from your dawgs,

And I’d be running in a big phat circle trying to make ‘em understand,

And I’d be cursed and stoned and hunted.

Would you want a wanted man?

If they knew I dream of being all alone with you.

If I do all the things I want to do for you.

 

But I’d be running from the law,

And I’d be running from your pa,

And I’d be running from your ma,

And I’d be running from your dawgs,

And I’d be running in a big phat circle trying to finally understand,

And I’d be cursed and stoned and confronted -

Persecuted on the stand.

 

If they knew I dream of being all alone with you.

If I do all the things I want to do for you…

Don’t look in my eyes, they’re my disguise, they tell lies.

If you look in my heart, my reckless heart, you’d know why. (repeat stanza)

 

If they knew…  

SWEET AND KIND

Sweet and kind -

She’s just a friend of mine.

She’s been to hell with me.

Nobody else wants that history.

She’s an old friend of mine.

 

When we were fifteen,

And green as the wild weeds

That grow in between all the

Cracks in society.

 

Sweet and kind …

 

When we were twenty-one,

Baked in the summer sun,

Cocked like a shotgun

That’s pointed at everyone.

 

Sweet and kind …

 

When we were twenty-eight,

Hanging on winds of fate,

Taking our chances with

Monsters that we create.

When we were twenty-one,

Baked in the summer sun,

Cocked like a shotgun

That’s pointed at everyone.

When we were fifteen,

And green as the wild weeds

That grow in between all the

Cracks in society.

 

Sweet and kind…  

SHE’S WISE

Hear me Mom, I got something to say.

Please just listen, don’t turn me away.

You always said I’d be a man someday.

“Live your life, don’t throw it away.”

 

She won me over with experience, her confidence,

And I’m convinced that true love doesn’t know the difference.

She’s wise.

 

She says I make her feel alive and free.

She treats me like the man I’ve always wanted to be.

And I’m so damn sick of immaturity,

And all the little girls with insecurities

 

She won me over with experience, her elegance

And I’m convinced that true love doesn’t know the difference.

She’s wise.

 

Don’t worry Momma cause everything is alright.

She knows what she wants, so you got to recognize

She’s wise, (wise), wise, (wise).

So Momma listen to me.

 

She won me over with experience, her confidence,

And I’m convinced that true love doesn’t know the difference.

She’s wise.

She’s wise.

She’s wise. 

ON MY TRAIL

I said, “Hang tight, it’s alright, he doesn’t have to know where you and I will be tonight.”

She says, “Think twice, he’s on my trail.”

 

I thought, “If we get caught, who’s he gonna blame when he aims the first shot?”

Cause I know, she won’t wear no long black veil.

 

She doesn’t know he paid me to stay close, he paid me to take notes.

I’m on her trail, oh yeah!

 

Out of town, we sneak around

hiding from the lights when the sun goes down.

When he’s alone, she’s on the prowl -

a femme fatale.

 

He doesn’t know when he tells me “stay close,” just how close I go.

I’m on her trail, oh yeah!

 

She said, “Hang tight, it’s alright, he doesn’t have to know where you and I will be tonight.”

Suddenly I realize that she’s on my trail.

She’s on my trail.  

 

JUST BECAUSE I CAN

Gotta get somewhere. Pick a suit to wear. Gonna ditch this joint. Nous allons mon frere.

I been restrained, I been dissed and detained. Now I’m loose and off the chain.

Gonna ride shotgun

People on the sidewalk.

Everybody trash talk.

Sizzle in the sun

“Johnny, be a homey,

hang a Louie at the next stop.”

Floatin’ down Orange Ave.

Cinderella pumpkin,

blissin’ like a bumpkin,

Bangin on a drum

bustin’ (bangin') like a Bam Bam club.

Just because I can

Just because I can

Just because I can

I been restrained.

I been dissed and detained.

Now I’m loose and off the chain.

In a sixty-six Mustang, top down, cruising with my dawgs around I-4 twenty miles to the shore, haulin’ all our boogie boards, groovin’ up slowly, like ol’ Flat Top on Abbey Road, suckin’ on a smoothie.

With a neon yellow Frisbee, carefree, Johnny Mac mackin’ on the track team, girlies on the beach scene, American beauty, roller-skatin’ like Tootie.

I been restrained, I been dissed and detained. Now I’m loose and off the chain. (repeat X 2)

 

Circus Mind

Her mind is a circus

A tight-rope walk every night

Three rings in the spotlight

A freak show designed to delight

 

Jane stays in her bedroom

Where no one can sneak in her head

She doesn’t want them to notice

Or hear anything that she says

 

Three little girls in a room together

playing games again

All three tearing at each other

No one ever wins

 

Sara thinks she’s a starlet

She powders her nose in the loo

She stabs the hearts of the werewolves

And moves with the phase of the moon

 

Cindy’s so sick of weakness

Detached from her own empathy

She poisons rats in the kitchen

While thinking of humanity

 

Three little girls in a room together

playing games again

All three tearing at each other

No one ever wins

Three little girls in a room together

playing games again

All three tearing at each other

No one ever wins

Three little girls in a room together

playing games again

All three girls tearing at each other

No one ever wins, no one ever wins

no one wins, again.

ALL THE NOISE

There’s a man I know. His name is Joe.

He wants the world to love him.

Chaos in his soul - he needs control

in every situation.

He makes plans for making friends -

throws a party enthusiastically.

They don’t stay because the way

Joe makes them sit alphabetically.

 

OCD Joe

Let go

You don’t need to control

Just let it flow

OCD Joe

Let go

You don’t need to be so

Incorrigible

 

Joe as a boy

lost his joy.

So much fear -

Paranoid.

All the noise

Grinding gears

In every situation

(repeat 2X over next stanza)

 

All the noise destroys the joy.

All the noise destroys in every situation.

 

There’s a man I know. His name is Joe.

He wants the world to love him.

Chaos in his soul - he needs control

in every situation.

 

There’s a man I know. His name is Joe.

He wants the world.  

REPO GIRL

The other night

I came home to find

I’d been cleaned out and robbed blind.

The only little thing that was left behind

Was a little pink letter, and her name was signed, “Repo Girl.”

 

This was a bummer.

I called up her number.

I said “You Dee-Boed my ride.”

“Ain’t my problem,” she replied,

“But baby you know where you can find the Repo Girl.” Repo Girl.

 

When I gazed upon her

I knew I was a goner -

A vision of Madonna,

The princess of pawn.

I said, “You can repossess my car,

but please don’t repossess my heart,

no, my Repo Girl.”

 

You can hock my pocket watch,

And you can hock my dignity,

And you can hock my stereo,

And you can hock my vanity,

And you can hock my big ass drum,

And you can hock my broken pride,

And you can hock my Mama’s pearls,

If you’ll be my, Repo Girl.

 

When I gazed upon her

I knew I was a goner -

A vision of Madonna,

The princess of pawn.

I said, “You can repossess my car,

but please don’t repossess my heart,

no, my Repo Girl.”

Repo Girl.

Repo Girl.

Repo Girl.

MAR

Rowing,  roaming

Drawn to you

 

Dozing, dosing

Liquid blue

 

Towing, tolling

Calling me

 

Floating, flowing

Ceaseless sea

 

Tossed on the waves

Wandering for days

Drunk with the stars

 

Hopelessly gone

Rolling along

Rocked in your arms

 

Dive with you

Drown with you

Drift and sink down with you

Lost with you

Not to be found
