I do Skid Row every night.

Greased Lightning
I had a dream, and you were in it.
You ran a race, but you didnt win it.
And I wasnt sorry to see you lose
I would have paid good money, to have them grease your shoes
Grease lightning, going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall
You spent your life expecting me to watch
So each time you slipped down, I cut a lower notch.
So I wasnt sorry to feel you slide.
If this is your body, Im a thorn in your side.
Grease lightning, going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall
If you think that its gone and forgotten, then youre wrong
Grease lightning, going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall
Grease lightning, going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall

All Alone
All alone...
The beat's got soul
Deuteronomy
Snatch a piece of my wondering
This did fall like under in
Skid em with two lights
Skid em with boot light
Flamers too light
Where's the waitress
Can't take this really can't finish this
These airs and all these graces
It's my mistake I'll make it
J'd up to the boom now make it
Bounce wiggle bounce wiggle shaking all them things out
Chemical cutthroats 'bout to blow the brain out
Cut to the brain
This ain't no game
I'll show no shame
I'll birth this bane
I'll twist the game
I'll twist the game
I'll push this plane
It's plain as day
Known to what these sayers say
Known to what these doers do
It's you and who and you know where
We's about to take it there
We's about to make it clear
We're happy on we lonesome
The lone drum the beat hot
From start to finish
Ten spoons of spinach
The soul and the spillage
The cup that runneth over
We turn up the 'oh God'
All alone...
Close your eyes and see
When there ain't no light
All you'll ever be
Come and save the night
Coz I don't leave
When the morning comes it doesn't
Seem to say an awful lot to me...
All alone...

The forbidden tree grows in serpentine road
It's almost soggy.
Hey! Novice you skid away
And take care my friend.
Ex-Adam had the skill
Though it's a sin.
Anyway who leaves a fruitful tree
without trespassing if it's tasty?

Night-Night (Children)
Night-night moon
Night-night stars
Night-night noisy
trucks and cars.
Night-night sand box
Night-night toys
Night-night other
girls and boys.
Night-night mom
Night-night dad
Night-night Boogie Man
who's not bad.
It's time to go to sleep now,
most all my night nights said.
Night-night blankie
Night-night bed.
Night After Night
by Bob Dylan
Night after night you wander the streets of my mind.
Night after night don't know what you think you will find.
No place to go, nowhere to turn,
Everything around you seems to burn, burn, burn.
And there's never any mercy night after night.
Night after night
Night after night
Night after night some new plan to blow up the world.
Night after night another old man kissing some young girl.
You look for salvation, you find none.
Just another broken heart, another barrel of a gun,
Just another stick of dynamite night after night.
Night after night
Night after night
Night after night you drop dead in your bed,
Night after night another bottle finds a head.
Night after night I think about cutting you loose
But I just can't do it, what would be the use?
So I just keep a holding you tight night after night.
Night after night
Night after night
Night after night
Night after night

Up wind lined in choices
food funk cracks exposed
fresh paint always scared
coiled in a rims black eye
gushed washed in swipes
mark a skid tire tracs more

The Collective: The Porcelain Doe
Eloquently, she skid and hop
In the summer haze and mistral fog
Never let the mirth to stop
Serendipitous legs of a scallywag
Gallop out of a hungry trap
And wave along the rainbow flag
She ran with the alacrity of snow
Plummeting sveltely and gracefully
Do you escape? Do you chase? We do not know
Exuberant from an enigma that vexes me dearly
Your resilient swings seldom goes slow
And it concerns me unfathomably
In blithe, you skip, hop, amble
Forgetting about your frail rendour
That porcelains dare not trample
Or reside in gelid pieces on the floor
I am here to pick your shards too supple
But only you can find the girdling core
Skip and hop to the endless night
With peril, avert the haunts of blight

The Worst And The Best
in the hospitals and jails
it's the worst
in madhouses
it's the worst
in penthouses
it's the worst
in skid row flophouses
it's the worst
at poetry readings
at rock concerts
at benefits for the disabled
it's the worst
at funerals
at weddings
it's the worst
at parades
at skating rinks
at sexual orgies
it's the worst
at midnight
at 3 a.m.
at 5:45 p.m.
it's the worst

Dont Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake
Emmas come down.
Shes stopped the light
Shining out of her eyes.
Emmas been run out on.
Shes breaking down
In so many places,
Stuck in low gear
Because of her fears
Of the skidding wheels,
(the skid of her wheels she feels.)
Skidding wheels,
(the skid of her wheels she feels.)
Spinning wheels.
(wheel-skidding feeling.)
Her heart is there,
But theyve greased the road.
Her heart is out there,
But shes no control.
Oh, come on, youve got to use your flow.
You know what its like, and you know you want to go.
Dont drive too slowly.
Dont put your blues where your shoes should be.
Dont put your foot on the heartbrake.
(shes losing, shes losing, shes losing, shes losing...)
Shes losing that inner flame.
It was burning bright,
But shes losing the light fast.
Shes only herself to blame.
Well, take care of yourself,
And remember georgie.
But shes so o.d.d on weeping
She can hardly see
That shes dropping beads.
(red, red glass is bleeding.)
Dropping beads.
(red, red glass is bleeding.)
Dropping beads.
(red, red on the parquet.)
Her heart is there,
But theyve greased the road.
Her heart is out there,
But shes no control.
Oh, come on, youve got to use your flow.
You know what its like, and you know you want to go.
Dont drive too slowly.
Dont put your blues where your shoes should be.
Dont put your foot on the heartbrake.

Places
Nobody says: Ah, that is the place
Where chanced, in the hollow of years ago,
What none of the Three Towns cared to know -
The birth of a little girl of grace -
The sweetest the house saw, first or last;
Yet it was so
On that day long past.
Nobody thinks: There, there she lay
In a room by the Hoe, like the bud of a flower,
And listened, just after the bedtime hour,
To the stammering chimes that used to play
The quaint Old Hundred-and-Thirteenth tune
In Saint Andrew's tower
Night, morn, and noon.
Nobody calls to mind that here
Upon Boterel Hill, where the carters skid,
With cheeks whose airy flush outbid
Fresh fruit in bloom, and free of fear,
She cantered down, as if she must fall
(Though she never did),
To the charm of all.
Nay: one there is to whom these things,
That nobody else's mind calls back,
Have a savour that scenes in being lack,
And a presence more than the actual brings;
To whom to-day is beneaped and stale,
And its urgent clack
But a vapid tale.

Wherever They Are
Even though the greatness is spoken,
The power of it dims and weakens.
Instead of building strong foundations,
Manifested from all of God's creations...
They chose a racist point of view,
That now has left them screwed!
Undoing themselves they did.
And now most of them slide,
In a nonstop skid!
With everything they have consciously done...
They hopelessly close their own eyelids!
Unbelieving of the disaster,
And their nightmare made!
They don't have to go anywhere,
To wonder or wander far or too long...
To ask themselves what has gone wrong!
'Wherever' they are...
Whether drinking in bars or driving drunk in cars!
They are sure to run into their own reflections!

Two Hearts In True Waltz Time
Well the first frame finds her running
But the night pushes her deep within the tunnel
She camouflages herself in dayglo paint
And she sings her love songs through a funnel
And she clings to the walls like a cat who calls
The shots for life and for death
Wearing nothing but the make-up she uses
To try and cover up for herself
Well if she cant hide her sword
She gives no terms for surrender
cause shes living the third world war
The tunnel police, they steadily increase
The search for where she hides her kid
She swings on a vine across the state line
They measured the length of her skid
She never goes back to do something she didnt
Or undo something she did
Smoke streams from the street
And the night is complete
With a long and fiery belch
Shes just another orphan annie cartoon and a raquel welch
She rides like caesar, brandishing a whip
On the hood of his squad car
As the siren wails she silently sails
Leaving footprints in the tar
Oh she breaks with the dawn
And by morning shes gone
Leaving nothing but another night
She returns to her home
Like a dog returns to a bone
Another unsatisfied wife
And theres little booth
Secure from the truth
He wants her more than hes got the guts to say
cause as she needs to be real
He needs to conceal
The realness of his place
So he sings a little song
And in a chiffon sarong
She performs a black ballet in space
But shes another flop with a fancy name
And hes just another cop with a pretty face
So together they commit the ultimate crime
Two hearts locked in true waltz time

Night after night
Night after night I look at the sky
And ask why you are not here.
Night after night I listen to the
Overwhelming sound of my heart
Night after night I look around and see
That you are not here
Night after night I sit here and feel
The emptiness
That you have left behind
Night after night I pray to the sky
That where ever you might be
You have found happiness.

God Part Ii
Dont believe the devil
I dont believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up
Dont believe in excess,
Success is to give
Dont believe in riches,
But you should see where I live
I...i believe in love
Dont believe in forced entry
Dont believe in rape
But every time she passes by,
Wild thoughts escape
I dont believe in death row,
Skid row or the gangs
Dont believe in the uzi,
It just went off in my hand
I...i believe in love
Dont believe in cocaine,
Got a speed-ball in my head
I could cut and crack you open
Do you hear what I said?
Dont believe them when they tell me
There aint no cure
The rich stay healthy, the sick stay poor
I...i believe in love
Dont believe in goldman
His type like a curse
Instant karmas going to get him
If I dont get him first
Dont believe in rock n roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution, spirals and turns
I...i believe in love
Dont believe in the 60s,
The golden age of pop
You glorify the past
When the future dries up
Heard a singer on the radio late last night
He says hes going to kick the darkness,
Till it bleeds daylight
I...i believe in love
I feel like Im falling
Like Im spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside me
With a presence I can feel
I...i believe in love

Today and Tomorrow
Today we are toddlers
Tomorrow we will be runners
Today we are followers of teachers
Tomorrow we will be leaders
Today we are kids
Often skid
Tomorrow we will be youth
Try to leap and jump
Make big stride in life
Put an end to social strife
Today we are babblers
Tomorrow we will be speakers
Today we are spectators
Tomorrow we will be players

Last Night
She was there at the bar, she heard my guitar
She was long and tall, she was the queen of them all
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night
She was dark and discreet, she was light on her feet
We went up to her room and she lowered the boom
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night
Down below they danced and sang in the street
While up above the walls were steaming with heat
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night
I was feeling no pain, feeling good in my brain
I looked in her eyes, they were full of surprise
Last night, talking about last night
Last night, talking about last night
I asked her to marry me she smiled and pulled out a knife
The partys just beginning she said, its your money or you life
Last night, talking about last night
Last night, talking about last night
Now Im back at the bar, she went a little too far
She done me wrong, all I got is this song
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night

Is Night gentle?
Night closes doors forever
Night cures my soul as a medicine
In Night should’nt be doubted ever
Night sense increases to everything
At Night you can shed your tears
At night we are flying to planets
At Night always deadens fears
At Night we are full of violence
At Night you will close embraces –
And Night this caress will cover
At Night you’ll remove your dresses
And God blesses you, my lover
In Night rises dizziness and passion
At Night you’re with itself alone
At Night - reign, you’re free in action
At Night nothing keeps in your soul
Night reconciles spirits, right you’re
At Night it is useless to wager
In Night it is stuffy and frightful
Tonight I shall leave you like voyager...
