it gets complicated when the weasels come to town some critters only love you when the sun shines they turn carnivorous in the dark weasels are sharp and unrelenting theirs are worlds of meat and necessities I don’t care what did the old assassin say? the coup de grace always stick one in the brainpan that’s what I’m doing gimme the blowtorch we’re smoking moon rocks testing the limits of gravity stick it to my brain pan I feel the rapture coming on strong I’m all about having a laugh vibing with the positive success is having fun there’s no maybe in paradise no excuses no exceptions and no mealy-mouthed weasels to ruin the party for everyone else

in the land of uz…
sort me out with a spoonful coz a black cat crossed my path mail it if you care for me or just leave me alone but you know where I am if you want to treat me like lover just come on down I got lightning in my pocket but I can’t spare a dime so don’t expect my call I’m a hostage to necessity and have no friends at all
so fuck me up turn
me out distance me from all I
love bury me in winter squalls twist my nuts and turn me off tell me now I’m going home where no-one lives but me alone now that all reason has fled teach me how just cruel you are furbish my weapons poison my bread pour for me a bitter cup take my tears and drink them up
I’m going all the way down
never has so cruel a season rained down on my head it has carved for me a heart from stone no lover’s lips can relieve my doubts no knockout blow will count me out no
fiery brand will light my path I
grope in the darkness and eschew the light
coz there’s only one fight and I’m in it thick so murder me but please make it quick

bugsy
all my life they had me drag the low end they say I’m not worth knowing that I don’t amount to much so I deserved their soft betrayals the kind that stuck fast a leaking of confidences unanswered phone calls unanswered doors they’d cut a little distance and leave me in the cold maybe they caught a glimpse of my crazy maybe they just lost patience I’m used to that now no one knows you when you’re mental I guess my company isn’t easy no one owes me anything friendship least of all but it doesn’t really matter now I’m tempered by experience and hardened to the bone I flourished on the outside I made it on my own
*Bugsy; adjective
infested with bugs; dirty; weird; buggy. Crazy; unstable; bughouse, He must be bugsy to behave so
impulsively!

dharma
there are no
big secrets don’t believe all you
read all beliefs are cosmetic you have to harvest the present to live your own truth there’s a universe in motion and it don’t know your name all names are bogus they all sound the same your mind is magical let it work in silence this is the medicine you consume with your soul the truth is an unwavering note that resonates through the cosmos there’s but one single instant that lingers eternal there’s only one truth and its moment is now

home
it’s been a hard road but I came the long way round towns are made of people and this old town is dead to me everybody is out of reach I’m a stranger here now and I live so far away far away in time I’ll find no sanctuary here I wouldn’t have a prayer it didn’t seem so bad framed by moonlight with eyes filled with passion you’d think an outside woman could provide a home for me but home is where my people are it’s where I’m headed to not where I started from adventure risks uncertainty peace begins at home

imagination
reality is a hoax I don’t believe in that shit bring me intoxication serve me ecstasy light me up with insanity reality is a prison I’ve long since escaped the real universe is beyond our comprehension imagination trumps reality because reality is stationary it’s all in the mind of course fiction reveals what reality obscures faith is a mere placebo imagination illuminates the world imagination is the wellspring of all creation imagination has no limits in a universe of infinite possibilities anything you can imagine is real

wolves
another
reluctant dawn burns holes into my
eyes just another blind man sickening for change I tried to off load my shackles coz you never know the hour or day will bring a glimpse of hope I’m
tuned into a world that has never
been my own I’ve been waiting on a
shepherd but all I get are wolves

modern babylonians
meanwhile… …at your local shop ‘n’ save the precepts of scientific management churn out well adjusted slaves they have chosen between conformity and freedom they are willing to be managed each has had their price I’ve been damaged and discouraged but I’m not crazy enough to join them I dressed like them talked like them and even ate like them but I could not think like them I can’t be moulded to society’s requirements I needed new horizons and ever greater highs so cut me some slack coz crazy amounts of spoon robbed me of my consumer status and left me on my backside you can sometimes buck the system but not the dark forces fear is the coinage of modern babylonians fear is the quirt that keeps the herd in check

ornithology
I‘m so high I daren’t look down but I don’t even miss the ground good riddance to bad vibrations I’m just an infant laughing at the
sun the universe and I are one… …it’s a perfect fit… …hand
in glove …so don’t blow my
high let me fly with the birds I got the ornithology and there’s magic in my words
but I ain’t bobbing for apples this is a game I can never win but I shoot when I’m hot and I’m ready to fly more often than not …angling
for the short prize aiming kinda low… I might just beat the system it depends on where I go sometimes I can fly away keep the blues at bay …gravity is patient with madmen… …but I’m bound to crash someday

dynamite
mother preserve my soul was I up to no good just then? I seem to have drifted away… …I was in the psyche ward again and I was totally numb closed off to the world but seeing is believing at least that’s true for some …I’m peeking through the curtains sunlight in my eyes I’m tuned into eternity and stratospherically high… …now and in the moment I know the world is mine it was broadcast on the news and it’s written in the sky I’m dynamite this morning but I don’t know how or why

the deicides
one day we’ll return
to the
place where we belong
but we’ll go
the long way round
and make our
way as killers
scorching
hallowed ground
until we
learn to speak as children
devouring
stolen apples
in the
orchard of the sun
where once
we built
our monstrous
war machines
and turned
them on our gods
