If you wonder where your child left his roller skates, try walking around the house in the dark.

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.

Roller Skating Child
Well shes a roller skating child
With a ribbon in her hair
She gets my heart to beating
When I see her there
You know my heart starts smiling when she sings
Shes such an angel I bet shes got wings
And well make sweet lovin when the sun goes down
Well even do more when your mamas not around
Well oh my oh gosh oh gee
She really send chills inside of me
Theyve got a record playing in the skatin rink
She comes skatin past me and she gives me a wink
I go and get my skates on and I catch up with her
We do it holdin hands its so cold I go brrr
And well make sweet lovin when the sun goes down
Well even do more when her mamas not around
Well oh my oh gosh oh gee
She really send chills inside of me
Round and around and around we go
The music keeps me on my feet
Its sweet its sweet its sweeter than honey
When were walkin down the street
(thats right)
We run in to the kitchen and we grab a bite
Her folks let me stay with her til late at night
So many guys want a girl like mine
A love like this happens only one time
And well make sweet lovin when the sun goes down
Well even do more when her mamas not around
Well oh my oh gosh oh gee
She really send chills inside of me

Baby Vamps
Baby vamps, is it harder work than it used to be?
Are the new soda parlors worse than the old time saloons?
Baby vamps, do you have jobs in the day time or is this all you do? do you come out only at night?
In the winter at the skating rinks, in the summer at the roller coaster parks,
Wherever figure eights are carved, by skates in winter, by roller coasters in summer,
Wherever the whirligigs are going and chicken spanish and hot dog are sold,
There you come, giggling baby vamp, there you come with your blue baby eyes, saying:
Take me along.

A Dark illusion
Walking in a dark path
No help reached out to me
Walking in a dark path
Blind and still can't see
Walking in a dark path
Heart beats no longer heard
Walking in a dark path
Not even the sound of a bird
Walking in a dark path
Where am i is this real?
Walking in a dark path
No, it cant be, I've healed.

Swan At Some Distance
Bannered and awaiting the snows, don’t
You sit and wait under your mountain of all things-
Like a dark eyed jewel:
Alone, on a dark road near sea level,
So far beneath you, I have sexual dreams of taking you
Along Southern Blvd,
And you are so needy and pressed
Like something god has been kind enough to
Return; and you don’t know how to play
Soccer; and I am a dream myself in roller-skates
In the crepuscule of soft dinners,
Your eyes engorging on the fictionalized ice-creams
Of that wild satellite that isn’t even real.
A mollusk travels across the dog hair on my pillow,
Gets caught in the sharp tinsel of my scars;
And I awaken and moan. Even before I awaken, I sense
That it is the barren establishment the sun’s strings are returning
Me into- the silver fish blue lipped on the prow of his
Apathetic ship- and here I’ve never been able to achieve
The rights of beauty. For there you are all done up
With your man, and I am left to strive alone in perpetually
Venal motions- freckled by a consumption of green
Scars, the vermilion decrepitude that used to make you think
From across the room that I might be a swan.

Sweet Little Rock & Roller
By: chuck berry as done by nazareth
Nineteeen years old and as sweet as she can be
Dressed up like a downtown christmas tree
Dancin and hummin a rock-roll melody
Shes the daughter of a well-respected man
Who taught her how to judge and understand
Soon she became a rock-roll music fan
Sweet little rock and roller, sweet little rock and roller
Papa dont have to scold her, says he cant hardly hold her
She never gets any older, sweet little rock and roller
Shouldve seen her eyes when the band began to play
Famous singers sang and barred away
Stars performed, she screamed and yelled hooray!
Ten thousand eyes were watching her leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screaming out more! more!
About fifteen hundred waitin outside the door
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Papa dont have to scold her, says he cant hardly hold her
She never gets any older, sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller

Deep Woods
When tender is the night, and the woods are deep
And the only light - as Orion's - piercing the dark,
Gazing a child in his sleep - child whomever he fears
He wishes he has gone, and left him to his sound sleep.
The river near is dark - not even dogs dare to bark -
And it's too far from any park - no wetness, no seep.
A child, who is left to a deathly sleep - still being mild
But the morn is far - too far to being left, way behind.
And Time! Oh Time! How dare you give a child
Endlessly sleep and those woods a languor that's oh so deep?
At dawn when life at woods again is dry,
And no reason is left to stay in the sky,
Orion takes care the child who now eternally sleeps,
The child sees someone - or something - dim:
A light - a palm that caresses him!

And A Happy Fathers Day To You
In the twinkling of an eye you appeared...
From out of nowhere or so it seemed-
Walking in to my turned upside down world...
Tell you darlin'-it was surreal-just like a dream;
You swept me off of my feet-yes you did...!
So taken i couldn't decipher black from white-
You melted my heart-and became a crucial part...
You rescued me from my long dark night;
How many years later we're still together?
Through: 'ALL OF OUR ROLLER-COASTERS WAYS'?
Tomorrow is your day to celebrate-
So with our child-may you have: The Best Fathers Day;
And you might as well know...
That i am celebrating tomorrow-also-you see-
For we have made it this far-through scratches and scars...! ! !
Know in my heart- now- we're definately meant to be;
For My Husband With Love
Fathers Day June 20.2010

Oxford Street
London's Oxford Street,
Where is my lover who left me last night?
For the rains have set in and i am walking along alone without her;
But with the hope that i will reach to my house safely because,
It is dark and i am already socked in the rain.

Captain Crash And The Beauty Queen From Mars
Dressed up for a big date
Like Halloween day but it was Fourth of July now
A car crash with a suitcase and a painted face
She was one of a kind
She wears a plastic crown like Cinderella
And roller skates in bed
he rides the greyhound from his hometown
When he comes around cause they don't let him drive now
Mixed up as a milkshake
But make no mistake
Crash looking at the stars
chorus:
You and me
We're invincible together
We can be also tragical

Iceberg
Life is a roller coaster that we all ride
Life is a roller coaster that we all ride
Life is a roller coaster that we all ride
Iceberg-Ive fallen in love with an
Iceberg-its only the tip of the
Iceberg-Ive heard that its cool
I got class, I got style
But once in a while out on the town
I must go
Youd better wash out your zone
Watch out you stone bone headed woman
Watch out you bone headed man
Iceberg-its freezin over second avenue
Theres not a thing that you can
Iceberg-its comin over second avenue
Youd better believe theres nothin
You can do about it
I was an orphan and I couldnt help it
Ive been in and out of trouble
Ever since they left me in a basket
On the freeway
Its me thats been doggin your shadow
Its me thats been a shadowin your dog
You got me hung up lock and stock and barrel
Ill always be behind you in the fog
So you better not annoy me
Or Ill do somethin that I might regret
Youd better not annoy me or Ill do
Somethin that you wont forget in a hurry
And I might be back for some sloppy seconds
Youve heard me heavy breathing on the telephone
My word they say that Im belongin
In a home for crazy people
But you know I dont belong there
I was an orphan and I couldnt help it
Id been in and out of trouble
Ever since they left me
In a basket on the freeway
Lie lie lie etc
Die die die etc
Hooray hooray ha ha ha
Hooray ha ha ha
Get down get down get down get down
Theres really not a lot that you can do
Lay down lay down lay down lay down
Theres really not a lot that you can do
Theres really not a lot that you can do
And I might be back for sloppy seconds

Our Shelter Is The Purpose Of Our Creation
IT is the intention to gain
that makes one creative,
and so when the gain is taken
one sulks back to his
stagnant self,
the intention to be happy
is one thing too,
as though the purpose of having this life is simply
happiness,
that when one is sad, life becomes
meaningless
a slave of feeling, a roller coaster of emotion
one is a rider,
when the ride is over, what then is next?
the roller coaster stops
one gets out from his seat and bind
you take a walk, remembering the highs and lows
and this soon shall stop
there is no roller coaster in the house where we live
will there be no excitement anymore
when we feel nothing
shall life and dreams cease too?
we are not our creators
we are created for a purpose
and this we must discover
and there we shall take shelter.

In this house of pain
In this house of pain
We’re nothing but slaves
Giving into such desires
Will it bring us any pleasure?
Weeping for a lover lost
She’ll cast her own spell
Deprived by all
Depleting the life of everyone that has betrayed her
Hidden in the shadows is where she will feel alive
In this house
Is nothing but sinners?
In this house
Is nothing but broken promises?
In this house
Is where you left me for dead?
Walking through the fogged trees
Blind to all
The songs of old
Are here for the comfort of all.
Beneath the garden of secrets
Hides a lonely heart
Calling to her lover
From which she had to part.
I am alone again.
Alone with my thoughts
That I am left to ponder upon
I am alone again.
This sadness is overwhelming
And all I can do is give in
Does my heart still beat the same?
Or does it die along with you
These thoughts seem to keep me sane
Yet I’m still waiting for more
These memories seem to play a game
And in the end
I’m here to give in
In this house
Is nothing but heartache?
In this house
Is nothing but tears?
In this house
Is where you left me broken?
The feelings seem to fade
The laughter was lost long ago
But I would give everything up
Just to have it all back
In this house
Was when I first fell in love with you?
In this house is were I gave my heart to you
In this house was where i was lost to you.
This will be our doing
This will be our destruction
Swept up in such blissful dreams
Scarcely unaware
This is the house
Were we will rot forever?

Roller Skating
I see a girl
Shes roller skating
I dont know her
But she makes me feel
Like roller skating
If I had a chance at all
Id build a road that never ends
Chinese envy
No damn waiting
Ill be with you roller skating
City lights
Turning green to red
I know I cant see you
All I want to do
Is take you to bed

Disappear
(Bedford/McPherson)
Walls signed with autographs,
Ceilings full of echoed laughs,
Something's disappear.
Gurus on roller skates,
Capital for swinging fetes
The area is to be cleared.
A stab in the back, the smoke and the black
As it smoulders to its grave.
Disappear with the fun and the fear
Another chance to misbehave.
Organ tinkling organ,
Marriage planning children,
Spinning, round and round.
rusty swings and roundabouts,
Disco's full of layabouts,
Nowhere to be found.
A stab in the back, the smoke and the black
As it smoulders to its grave.
Disappear with the fun and the fear
Another chance to misbehave.
Come on then we'll go down there,
Let's see the local ash tray,
Let's see if we can be happy,
We'll mess about just you and me,
I must try to make it home before tea.
Walls signed with autographs,
Ceilings full of echoed laughs,
Something's disappear.
Gurus on roller skates,
Capital for swinging fetes
The area is to be cleared.
A stab in the back, the smoke and the black
As it smoulders to it's grave.
Disappear with the fun and the fear
Another chance to misbehave.
A stab in the back, the smoke and the black
As it smoulders to its grave.
Disappear with the fun and the fear
Another chance to misbehave

High Roller
By cheap trick
Jump in my love car
Dont have to go very far
Just far enough to show you a thing or two
I can really swing
The best of everything
And I want to have a thing with you
High roller
What I buy is mine
And I always get the things that I choose
My, my, my, such a high roller
I know hes gone away and left you
Ill take real good care of you
Im in the mood for love
Youre all Im thinking of
Ill make you feel alright when were alone
I can really swing
The best of everything
And I want to have a thing with you
High roller
What I buy is mine
And I always get the things that I choose
My, my, my, such a high roller, is that you?
I knew youd be here tonight
And Ill make it alright
Ill take real good care of you
Ill tuck you in tonight
And Ill make it alright
I know hes gone away and left you
Ill take real good care of you

Holy roller, lookin down
Where you think you know
All the answers
Arrogance and pride....are sin
Better look to your, own chances
Chorus:
Holy roller can you save your own soul
Can you save your own soul
Holy roller
Standin, up for jesus
Thats your thing
But youre standin on peoples hearts
Charity is a virtue
To be praised
Better get back on...jesus track

Holy roller, practice what you preach
Heaven, its still within your reach
Holy roller, dont you judge
What you think is goin wrong
