DINOSAUR

Long ago and far away in a different age

when I was a dumb young guy

fossilized photos of my life then

illustrate what an easy prey I must have been
Standing in the sun, idiot savant

something like a monument
I'm a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones

Ignorance has always been something I excel in

followed by naiveté and pride

doesn't take a scientist to see how

any clever predator could have a piece of me
Standing in the sun, idiot savant

something like a monument
I'm a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones

When I look back on the past

it's a wonder I'm not yet extinct

all the mistakes and bad judgments I made

nearly pushed me to the brink

it doesn't pay to be too nice

it's the one thing i have learned

still, I made my fossil bed

now i toss and turn

I’m a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones

WALKING ON AIR

Close your eyes and look at me

I'll be standing by your side

in between the deep blue sea

and the sheltering sky

if we find no words to say

to the rhythm of the waves

then we'll both surrender there

walking on air.

And the worries of the day lie down

under cover of the fading clouds

the secrets of the night

come alive in your eyes

you don't have to hurry

you don't have to try

cause you don't have a care

you're walking on air

B'BOOM

INNER GARDEN, PT . I

Autumn has come to rest

in her garden

come to paint the trees with emptiness

and no pardon

so many things have come undone

like the leaves on the ground

and suddenly she begins to cry

but she doesn't know why

heavy are the words that fall through the air

to burden her shoulders

caught up in the trees

her soliloquy,

"don't leave me alone"

PEOPLE
People fly people flee

people clam and say "it wasn't me"

people fish people beef

people arm to teeth

yes, you've got people on the tube

walking on the moon

people at the bottom of the sea

people in tombs

people in igloos

even a tribe of pygmies

People are the main spring

turning the world around

people, they're the main spring

spinning this world upside down

People sun people toast

people tire shile other people smoke

people bowl people rock

people pay to see two people box

Watch me face me

dress me baby me

phone me wire me

house me bug me fire me

People are the main spring

spinning the world around

people, they're the main spring

turning this world inside out

ONE TIME

One eye goes laughing,

one eye goes crying

through the trials and trying of one life

one hand is tied,

one step gets behind

in one breath we're dying

I've been waiting for the sun to come up

waiting for the showers to stop

waiting for the penny to drop

one time

And I've been standing in a cloud of plans

standing on the shifting sands

hoping for an open hand

one time

RADIO, PT. 2

INNER GARDEN, PT. II

Rome now comes to sit

in her garden

mingling the breeze with memories

of a time when

there was a room in pale yellow hues

her room with a vieww

here love made a bed of happiness

in muslin and lace

sweet is the voice from far away

that speaks sotto voce and

is lingering there in the golden air

to quiet the day.

SEX SLEEP EAT DRINK DREAM

Sex sleep eat drink dream

primal tribal apple egg vegetable eel

I have a new canoe but it does not have a wheel

Private velvet animal oldsmobile mind

I'm sitting in the fireplace burning up my time

Private velvet animal empty T.V.

they're fishing in the kitchen

but they haven't caught up to me

Primal tribal chemical digital night

I've got to get dressed to go out of my mind

Sex sleep eat drink dream
