Sweet Sorrow
Sweet Sorrow
The turns of life
always tomorrow
the the twist of the knife
perfect pain
present moment
distilled essence
emphemeral existence
Buried in sound
Gone the drama
quick to forget
sick and violent, sick and violent
Don’t complain,
no body, no pain
can’t explain
the murder mystery
The unknowable
the unfathomable
the watchers watch
the starry sky
And lovers huddle
and cuddle and kiss
snuggle for comfort
and struggle for bliss
Buried in sound
Gone the drama
quick to forget
sick and violent, sick and violent
And lovers huddle
and cuddle and curse
snuggle for comfort
and struggle for more
Buried in sound
Gone the drama
quick to forget
sick and violent
sick and violent
sick and violent
sick and violent

Game of Hearts
The car is broken
The house is broken
the dog, even the dog is broken
my body is broken
Time and money will fix most things
Surgeons, mechanics, vets and technicians
so stay on top of it
and make the appointment
Who’ll dig through my analog archives
And animate my life
What artist, what archaeologist
Will make my mess in to a movie
Make it all turn out groovy
Rename, Reframe, revisionist history
Tell your story
Perception — reality
Make this mess into genius
And you can write your own epitaph:
“...Never knew when to shoot the moon.”
Yes, he never knew
when to shoot the moon
Game of hearts
Game of cards
game of chance
count the odds
Love obscuirty
love anonymity
love privacy
love your family
But he never knew
when to shoot the moon
Yes, he never knew
when to shoot the moon
Game of hearts
Game of cards
game of chance
count the odds
Love obscuirty
love anonymity
love your privacy
love your family (repeat)

The End of life As We Know It
The End of Life as we know it
Slow motion disintegration
the passage of time, the passing of the torch
from the rocking chair on the porch
You have no future
you come to grips with it
Forget your grand palns
you will not get to it
It’s over...
life as you knew it
is just a distant memory
lost in the fog of history
Who knew it would happen so soon
Those days are over
You want me for the cause
But those days are over
You want to do the thing
You want to keep it all going
You want to do the doing
But those days are over
This is the doneness
You are one with nothingness
But when you reject it
you further the connflict
It’s over...
life as you knew it
is just a distant memory
lost in the fog of history
It’s okay for life to change
It’s okay for life to change
It’s okay for life to change
It’s okay for life to change
Let fear fall away
let fear fall away

Standard Procedure
I can’t go down this way
I need a revival
I need a second wind
A medical miracle
Prep me for surgery
Feed me intravenously
shave my body
X marks the spot
Anesthetize me
So I won’t feel a thing
Wake me when it’s over
Take out the catheter
Put me on bed rest
Put me on pain meds
Send me to therapy
And out the other end
So I can pull out of this
So I can pull out of this
So I can pull out of this
pull out of this
pull out of this
pull out of this
pull out of this
It’s a standard procedure
It’s a standard procedure
It’s a standard procedure
It’s a standard procedure
