Crushed in the arms of a bear.
Crushed in the arms...
Crushed in the arms of a bear.
In my strain...

Now I could never fall in love.
And feeling such a thrill
Why don't you anger me, anger me, I will.
Oh... Why don't you anger me?
Anger me I will.
Oh Why dont you anger me?
(crushed in the arms)
Now I could never fall in love. (i strain)
And feeling such a person. (in my strain)
And feeling such a person
Anger me. You anger me.
Strangle me. You strangle me.
Strangle me... and I strain...
And I strain... (of a bear)

I Can't Help Myself

I been lost in the darkness for so long,
I can't see the life.
I been strung out, burned out, left out,
An' hung out to dry.
So I say to myself that I wanna get better:
Hidin' from the truth, I can't last forever.
Jesus, help me;
Obviously, I can't help myself:
I've got nobody else.
Send me an angel: someone to strangle,
That old demon that's hauntin' me there on the shelf.
I can't help myself.
An' my excuses are so old an' tired:
Hell, I forget 'em.
I keep fallin', an' crawlin', an' drownin'
Down here on the bottom.
Yeah, I've pushed back my brothers, said goodbye to my friends:
When you get in this deep, the hell never ends.
Jesus, help me;
Obviously, I can't help myself:
I've got nobody else.
Send me an angel: someone to strangle,
That old demon that's hauntin' me there on the shelf.
I can't help myself.
Gimme a reason to live an' show me a sign.
I'm on the edge goin' out of my mind.
I'm down on my knees: I'm beggin' you please,
Make me somebody else: I can't help myself.
Instrumental Break.
(No!)
I need something stronger:
Pour it all over me.
Send me an angel: someone to strangle,
That old demon:
'Cause you know that I never will.
I can't help myself.
Lord, I can't help myself.

Edgar Lee Masters

Hail! Master Death!

When conquerors lift the bloody shield,
Showing the fallen's ooze of life,
And on a waste of blasted field
Joy quickens to the drum and fife,
Then the weird brood of flame and fate,
Far under ground, are ill at ease,
And rock their bodies, as they wait,
When Death shall strangle even these.

The banquet board is red and white,
And laughter bubbles with the wine;
But what's the meed of this delight?
The pauper's children peak and pine!
Enough! our sisters laughing stir
The prescient worm, which scents and sees
The feast time shall not long defer --
For Death shall strangle even these.

Tumbled at last in earth and lost
To church bells, sycophant and priest,
The sodden hulks of those who crossed
The world with sorrow west and east.
True Holder of the scales and sword,
God of all Gods, whose stern decrees
Scatter the emperor's bloody hoard --
Great Death who stranglest even these!

So we shall not forever lie
In graves o'er run by cloven feet --
We, vanquished who were first to die;
We, hooted from the judgment seat.
Come armŽd hands and hands that clutch
The bauble world, fall to your knees --
Oh you who triumphed over-much --
For death shall strangle even these.

Someone Is...

Someone is there,
Who
Wants to strangle me,
behind the closed door.
Ask
Me if I know him-
Gladly I'll say,
No! ! ! ! ! ! !
I'm lucky that he is
not known to me, just a
Stranger-
Merely I want to put an end to
poem,
To wipe out my existence from,
someone,
whom I don't know-
But,
he claims he knows me!

The Clinton administration hated us, and it was a terrible struggle with them. I think that they felt if they didn't play, they could strangle us in our crib.

Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.

Carrefour

O you,
Who came upon me once
Stretched under apple-trees just after bathing,
Why did you not strangle me before speaking
Rather than fill me with the wild white honey of your words
And then leave me to the mercy
Of the forest bees?

Judas

Tired of his endless guilt,
He rode his motorbike to Gethsemane
And went out to strangle Jesus.
Coming home at last, he met his girl
And felt the tender swastika of love.

Love Waiting

Sometimes we hold on something
So tight we strangle it
Leaving no chance for it to grow
For it to grow freedom movement
Is what all things need
It must run on it's own
Give freely of it's self
Or it will never be real
Only a hope of somthing better
Waiting down the road

The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions. But there is also, it seems to me, a moment at which democracy must prove its capacity to act. Every man has a right to be heard; but no man has the right to strangle democracy with a single set of vocal chords.

Risk

Peddling influence
Among thieves
And trying to find explanations
For failed connections!
Introduces a risk incurred...
When addictions to opulence,
Can not be cured by standards adopted!
Money becomes as insignificant
As those who dangle it...
In the hopes that it does not strangle!
But,
Eventually it does!

Love Is Not

Love is not trying to control until you strangle me so,

Love is not jealousy’s friend, for it makes us enemies to the bitter end.

Love is not caretaking with money so then you can call me your honey.
