Broken Glass

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

Long distance information, ring me 608
Laughing at the other end
get me my prescription, come and walk my dog
please get me anything

You can’t seal fate with a kick
You should know it doesn’t work that way
As for your lofty aspirations
You couldn’t give them all away (throw away)

Those precious things...

Money Talks

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

Money talks these days and everybody listens
We’re whipping out our wallets trying to but what we’re missing

Money screams out "I need a slave"
I’m just trying to find some worker to dig my grave

Everybody’s listening, everybody’s listening, all those eyes are glistening
I need more, a little...

Somebody To Shove

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn’t rang for so long
And the time flys by, like a vulture in the sky
Suddenly he breaks into song

I’m waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone
I’m waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell...

Nothing To Write Home About

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Dear mother, what can I say
It’s been so long since I went away
And yes, I miss the comforts of home
But I guess I’m better off on my own

No one told me people could be so cruel
Nobody told me about any of this in school
Still nobody understands the things that I don’t understand

I’ve nothing to write...

Nowhere To Go

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Oh the west
Where the men were mean
The women were scarce
And the sheep were mighty nervous
You know I’m just a cowboy
But I got no place to go
There’s no more ranges for me to ride
They got rid of those 60, 70 years ago

Stop,
Look where you’re going
You’re not going anywhere
People...

Goin’ Down

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Floatin’ down the river
With a saturated liver
And I thought I would forgive her
But I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And the word gets ’round
Goin’ down
I’m Goin’ down

Coming’...
