================================================== Today's my birthday But I'm shopping for some mittens to Warm the hands that mold this man Into one who's more used to bending to the whim Of a lesbian I hear the many Feminist opinions But they're too esoteric for a man Like me to comprehend but she She's a lesbian What can I say about her now? But Tori Amos would be proud And carpet munching never made much sense Anyhow . . . Now I did not lose sleep When she chopped her hair off & dyed it green I just shook my head & crawled in bed Knowing well that I was soon to dream Of a lesbian There's not much left in it for me I've gotta let her have her own way Heterosexuality is much preferred To being gay but she She's a lesbian And I bet her girlfriend's not much less She's better off with her I guess She's down a man but now she'll have Twice the PMS . . . ==================================================

================================================== I could be your smoking gun If I had the might And I could be your left-hand glove If you had the right No matter what the case may be It will involve All these ambiguities to be resolved I could be your microphone If I had a voice And I could be your ticket home If you made the choice No matter what the outcome is It will entail The need for some strange sort of Logic to prevail The melody is slowly creeping Through the doubts left in my mind It seems that she has been keeping Well this secret for some time And now those wishful words So seldom heard Are brought forth in a song And by the way she sounds I know it won't be long, no The melody . . . I could be your long-lost man If I found my way And I could be your one-night stand If you'd let me stay No matter what the circumstance It will include Communication that's not Nearly as crude The melody is slowly creeping Through the doubts left in my mind It seems that she has been keeping Well this secret for some time And now those wishful words So seldom heard Are brought forth in a song And by the way she sounds I know it won't be long, no The melody . . . Melody . . . I may be worth a 2nd glance But I ain't worth a 2nd chance I'm forever failing to heed The remonstrance . . .

================================================= Long time I've been waiting for you To come sweep me up off my feet And take me to a world unseen Like that which is in my dreams They fade out to the place Where the breath was made In the dark space And when the tear fell to the sand There became a light in The voice of man And so there became a voice of man That ended the life that we began The wretched words that drove us to the edge And though we remain on hallowed ground What's left of love's still chained & bound We're forced to confront these demons in our heads But I've been waiting for so long It seems the more & more I try To figure out where I went wrong The more I grow dissatisfied With what I realize I've become I'm nothing more than what you seek I only wish I knew just one Of all the secrets that you keep . . . =================================================

================================================= Well I'm gettin' drunk tonight Just because I'm lonely Lord my woman She left me long ago And she told me 'fore she did She'd return if only Jesus saved my soul Well I don't give a damn What she believes is best for me I'll still drink my blues away by & by And if Jesus came today Lord he'd find me drunk and lonely; I'll be missin' her until the day I die Well I'm gettin' drunk tonight Just because I'm lonely Lord my woman She left me long ago And she told me 'fore she did She'd return if only Jesus saved my soul Well I don't give a damn What she believes is best for me I'll still drink my blues away by & by And if Jesus came today Lord he'd find me drunk and lonely; I'll be missin' her until the day I die Yes if Jesus came today Lord he'd find me drunk and lonely; I'll be missin' her until the day I die =================================================

================================================= Walking across this old bridge Anticipating the rain We were in love by the time It finally came Upon blankets & under the stars We watched a bonfire burn And we held each other that night Never knowing how things Would soon turn You've come a long way since Poughkeepsie, Delaney And you'll be fine out on your own I often wonder if you miss me, Delaney But I suppose I'll never know . . . Lost somewhere in Tokyo We couldn't find our way the taxis were plenty but still "Doko desuka?"

But I know who you are You're the one Who wants a piece of me Praying that someday The winds of fate will Sweep your destiny Maybe . . . A tour of your head You ask me to go And I'm not too sure What I'll be shown I go for a spin 'Round & 'round it goes And where it stops Nobody knows It goes on & on Out of control And it gets to the point of Confusion untold I run up upon this fork in the road And I can't decide which way I should go But I know what you want You're the one who wants a new decree Sailing the seas while Searching for some better company Maybe . . . A tour of your head You ask me to go And I'm not too sure What I'll be shown I go for a spin 'Round & 'round it goes And where it stops Nobody knows It goes on & on Out of control And it gets to the point of Confusion untold I run up upon this fork in my road And I can't decide which way I should . . . =================================================

================================================= I've been losing sleep Along with my mind It seems like every night Is longer than the last And all my thoughts Just seem to linger In the past And everyday I walk Out among the crowds But nobody seems to notice That I'm there Or maybe they do But just don't care Maybe just as well Their worries lie elsewhere Sometime I'd love to find Your letter in my box But that letter Never seems to arrive And everyday's becoming Harder to survive; I'd give anything to know You're still alive =================================================
