Hardly had I left when we ran into the Korean war, doubled what I had asked for and doubled it again. I had told him I would stay in Government, be honored to, but not with the Air Force.

Doubled Up
I saw a mountain from higher above.
I held your hand and I was doubled up in love.
Big sky above me, a river inside me
And Im doubled up in love.
Youre watching your step but you fall as youre walking.
You take it in stride but still you fall as youre walking.
Big sky above me, a river inside me
And Im doubled up in love.
Feels good it feels like poetry
Dont ask me to explain it just
Feels good, like poetry,
Im doubled up again.
Look at the sky,
Lift off like an aeroplane,
Watch the ground come up to meet you.
Big sky above me, a river inside me
And Im doubled up in love.
Feels good, it feels like poetry,
Dont ask me to explain it just
Feels good, like poetry.
Im doubled up again.

As I Aged With A Growing
I've doubled up on my love for life.
I learned games to play and I've paid that price.
But those nights and my youthful days grew colder.
And as I aged with a growing,
Some things I collected along the way...
I had to throw away with a knowing,
It was I who chose to live my life.
And I began to choose what was right for me.
I've doubled up on my love for life.
With a choice to let go and enjoy the ride.
Regardless who debated over the choices that I make.
No one knows what it takes for me to live.
With a doing it as if I live obstacle free.

(Drug Poem) Bad Trip
Talking to someone
who really isn't there
Feeling slightly scared
I was never prepared
Elves dropping from the trees
Those little demons
Tear into my skin
Telling me ill never be forgiven
Its another bad trip
I doubled dipped
Two under the tongue
And the fun begun
Run just run
It was cheap
But I paid for it steep
Double vision
Everything was spinning
Then the sky turned black
My friend told me to relax
But he looked like he had a knife
So I ran
Till I bumped into this clown
He was wearing this ugliest frown
He told me I better get out of town
I had till sun down
So confused
Its another bad trip
I double dipped
Two under my tongue
And the fun begun
Run just run
It started snowing
The snowmen were marching towards me
Rifles in hand
They pointed at the tiniest rabbit
Bam the rabbit was gone
It flew away with some kind of magical sparkling wings
As it took off it sang
Get off the acid kid
Before you regret something you did
Not so long ago
Right before the snow
Its another bad trip
I doubled dipped
Two under the tongue
And the fun begun
Run just run

Dangerous To Play With The Fire Of The Stars
It's dangerous to play with the fire of the stars
For the first time since 1778, pluto is returning
to capricorn. The US government, nominally
a democracy, has never before
had pluto oppose its three planets in cancer.
God wants the killing to stop.

(The same cartels which destabilized the Chilean economy in 1973,
which tampered with Australia's elections in 1972, Iran's government,
which attempted to murder Fidel Castro countless times, which
has attempted to murder Hugo Chavez, which has caused countless
plane crashes from those of John and Robert Kennedy and John F
Kennedy Jr as well as those of Mel Carnahan in Missouri, Paul
Wellstone in Minnesota, and countless other plane crashes recorded
in the book Confessions of An Economic Hit Man, are now
attempting to drive the poor of America into despair through doubled
gas prices, doubled food prices, evictions, foreclosures, outsourcing
of jobs, etc. God dismantle now the megathief cartels. Thank You
that what we ask together You materialize, for You are the God of the poor.)
which helped Calderon, Harper, Bush, Merkel and others
sit on their stolen thrones,

Grief
With a grieving heart
She told him
How much
She loved him.
He doubled up
Her grief -
By telling her,
What could he do
If she loved him…

I Told Myself
I told myself
You do love me
Is it really true?
She asked me
I told myself
You care for me
Are you really sure?
She asked me
I told myself
You do miss me
As often as you?
She asked me
I told myself
You need me too
Are you guessing?
She asked me
I told myself
You never tell me
Why on Earth?
She asked me
I told myself
You hide a lot…
Is that friendship?
She asked me
I told myself
You think too much
Does he not feel?
She asked me
Tell me, my love
What shall I say?
To all those queries
That she asked me...
How should I answer?
What should I ponder?
Tell me the truth
For she still asks me...
You For Me
And Me For You
Is it the Future?
One last Question
She did ask me.
I don’t have the answers
Yet she keeps asking me…
May be, she knows,
One day, one moment
You’ll let her know
How you feel for me...

You know, when Republicans were in charge, we doubled the debt. But, now, our concern is the Democrats are in charge and they're tripling the debt. So, really, our concern is that we want smaller government.
Twos Up
(three is company)
Last stand
Down to my last dime
Havent got the sense to leave
The dealers cutting fine
Last draw
Back against the wall
Depending where the money is
Is where Im gonna fall
Ace high
Hide your poker eyes
I didnt want to laugh too much
When I picked up the prize
Lady luck
Standing at my side
Ill leave with more than I brought in
And I get her in my life
Get her in my life
Chorus:
I go, you go, she go, we go
Twos up, its a twos up
Give me head, give me tails
Give me doubled up and coming doubled over on the rails
Give me twos up, its what I want
High up
When youre looking down
Then you see two animals
Just fooling you around
Stray dogs
Gonna take them in
I dont know what your names are
But youre gonna break them in
All day
Its difficult to say
Who is doing what to whom
Whos out of the play
I love
The way you slide and slip
Love the way you girls work out
And make the partnership
Make that partnership
Chorus
(gotta give me double or quits)
Twos up, twos up
Like your partnership
Like the way you slip
There aint nothing like a twos up
Thats the way it is, twos up
Its what I want to hear
Give me head, give me tails
Give me doubled up and coming over on the rails

Wandering Star
Please could you stay awhile to share my grief
For its such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
... those who have seen the needles eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed, upon their prey
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
(always) doubled up inside
Take awhile to shed my grief
(always) doubled up inside
Taunted, cruel.... ...
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
