No One Dares to Mention Their Medications
No one does what you do like you but you.
None of us are here to be like the other.
We are here to bring our gifts and have them nourished.
Some believe they are only here to shop...
And express their jealousies.
Fantasing who has what and good luck.
Believing some things come to those who have it easy.
But no one dares to mention their medications!
Or dare to share their prescribed delusions.
Since...
Many may never live for them to find a cure!
Or something to do in their lives they like,
Besides complain.

Such Myths Aren't So Easy to Shatter
Foolish are those who believe they can exist,
As being just pieces of a whole...
That nourishes as they come together,
With indifferences to complain or sit.
Or deposit their selfishness...
In self righteous idol worship.
Believing in divisional circumstances...
They are not connected.
Or can live lives undetected.
And by 'what' or 'who'...
Will allow or accept this?
This Earth is just one of uncountable cells!
Dwelling within this 'mental' cosmos.
And that fact...
Seems to continue to elude those,
Believing they are exclusively God's gifts...
In this Universe!
Such myths aren't so easy to shatter!
Or sit to ponder in limited minds,
For too long.
Or too well!
Even with a progress expressed,
And professed.
They can not escape...
From the reality of their creation!
Much longer in existance.
Prior than the event...
Of their use as an experiment.

Mix 2
Now what you want with the time that you can't forget?
That that rain put out now
Look it up
What you doing sending sisters to the other side?
It's hard enough, hard enough
What you doing with the cat that you can't forget?
Why they're walking gives them a face
What you doing with the cat that you can't forget?
Just blow it up, blow it up
It's easy
Good pal
Good luck
Every night
Hey, it's easy
Good luck
Good luck
It's easy then
It's easy
Doing with a cat that you can't put down
Cos then you're walking
It's playing cool to get
But what you can't get a man can't forget
Because Dorothy
I'm a nice devil
What you doing with the cat that you can't believe?
I don't love myself, I call the child police
Oh, what you doing with the cat that you can't believe?
Just blow it up
It's easy
Good pal
Good luck
Every night
Hey, it's easy
Good luck
Good luck
It's easy then
It's easy

Cant Not
Id be lying if I said I was completely unscathed,
Would I be putting it right with my silence and rage
Would I be letting you in; invite a reaction, yeah?
And how would I explain
How would I explain this to my children if I had them?
Because I cant not
Because I cant not
Because I cant not win without my losing, my dear
Would it be whining if I said I needed a hug?
Would you feel slighted if I said your loves not enough?
And how dare I complain?
And how dare I complain when you want for a chance for this?
Because I cant not
Because I cant not
Because I cant help laugh at your delusions
Because I cant not
Because I cant not
Because I cant help wonder why you ask me
To all the unheard children in the school yard
You think youre the right ones
You swear youre the charmed ones Im sure
But how can you go on with such conviction?
Who do you think you are when you question me?
Because we cant not
Because we cant not
Because we cant help laugh at your delusions
Because we cant not
Why do you affect me?
Why do you affect me still?
Why do you hinder me?
Why do you hinder me still?
Because I cant not
Because I cant not
Because I cant not walk without my crutches

The love I look for
The love I look for
Could not come from you.
My mind is set to fall
At Peterloo.
But you'ld protect me,
I'd be safe with you.
You could but love me
In the olden way,
With gifts of jewels, children,
Time to play,
Be man to woman
In the olden way.
The love that's love has
Other gifts to bring,
A share in weakness, dreams,
And suffering.
These are the only
Gifts I'd have to bring.
The love I look for
Does not come from you.
I see it dawning in
Deep eyes of blue.
I dare to hope for
Love, but not from you.

Do Not Become Depleted
Hope things are going well with yourself.
And you remain 'connected'
Beyond the mess of imperfections expressed.
By a nesting of delusions...
That have come to rest to infest.
Keep some of that deliciousness,
To further explore a usefulness adored...
And rare.
Share it if you dare.
But do not become depleted.

For all of the gifts and talents you show! '

Cities
(david byrne)think of london - small city
Dark - dark in the daytime
People sleep - sleep in the daytime
If they want to - if they want to
Im checkin em out
Im checkin em out
Ive got it figured out
Ive got it figured out
Theres some good points - some bad points
But it all works out - Im just a little freaked out
Find your city -
Find yourself a city to live in
I will find a city -
Find yourself a city to live in
A lot of bridges in birmingham
A lot of ghosts - and a lot of houses
Look over there - dry ice factory
Good place to get some thinking done
Im checkin em out
Im checkin em out
Ive got it figured out
Im the one who got it figured out
Theres some good points - some bad points
Find your city -
Find yourself a city to live in
I will find a city -
Find yourself a city to live in
Did I forget to mention -
Forget to mention memphish
Home of elvis and the ancient greeks
Do I smell - I smell home cooking
Its only the river - its only the river
Im checkin em out
Im checkin em out
Ive got it figured out
Ive got it figured out
Theres some good points - some bad points
Are those things real? denied!
Find your city -
Find yourself a city to live in
I will find a city -
Find yourself a city to live in
I will find a city -
Find yourself a city to live in
I will find a city
Find yourself a city to live in

Tsunamis- God Makes: God Takes!
God makes, He breaks!
God gives, He takes!
What tragedy!
What mystery!
What suffering!
What faltering!
But Why God does, no one can know!
Why He allows? Why He says, ‘No’! ?
This is the world in which we live;
Nature will not her secrets give;
Nevertheless, we can’t complain;
There’s harmony in boon or bane;
Who dare question Almighty’s ways?
We live a life of numbered days!
Yet, God is kind and cares for us;
Without the Lord, we shall be worse;
Some things happen which we can’t take:
We never know what’s true or fake;
The science we know turns obsolete;
Our labor seems at times effete;
And yet, men say that science is God!
-Believing which is rather odd;
The earth has built her devices,
Those mitigate human vices;
The man who thinks he is all wise,
Is sooner, later cut to size;
Who dare defy the Lord’s commands
Will slip into the Devils’ hands;
We have a code and soul to keep;
If otherwise, bad things we reap;
Man cannot curb Nature’s freedom;
Harnessing it is but seldom;
God made the man better than beast,
Promising him a sumptuous Feast;
If he lives not a better life,
God gives him woes, aplenty strife;
Through Nature’s fury, God reminds
-‘Man is God’s toy, which He rewinds! ’

He that dares not venture must not complain of ill luck.
Reflection of God's Best
What habits we bear,
In this humanness given.
A 'will' to do those things,
To bring ourselves despair.
What delusions we carry,
To perceive we are disconnected.
To judge and disrespect...
Someone else who has feelings,
We don't accept and neglect.
What rights do we have...
To eat and rest,
Under safe shelter.
While others go hungry to wander,
Without food in homelessness!
What habits we bear,
In this humanness given.
To think we are better...
To live with no regrets.
Heartless and selfish!
Believing what we do,
Is a reflection of God's best!
And yet we find ourselves denying...
Inside of us,
A hopelessness!

Dont Bring Me Down
When you complain and criticize
I feel like nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like givin up
Because my best just aint good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
And do the things you want me to
But oh, oh no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, darlin
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
The sacrifices I will make
Im ready to give as well as take
Something I need is your respect
Something I cant take is your neglect
And more than anything I need your love
Until its easy to rise above
And oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, dont hurt me
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
When you complain and criticize
I feel like nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like givin up
Because my best just aint good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
Do the things that you want me to
But oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, Im beggin you
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, darlin
Oh, please, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Darlin, darlin, stop it, darlin
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down

Enthusiastic Coach
Hoping and praying for your dreams to happen.
And nothing done you do inspires that to become true.
Because you are the one who claims,
If it wasn't for bad luck...
You wouldn't have none so you sing the blues.
Many like you find themselves,
Pulling out of quicksand.
And with no ropes.
Or with an enthusiastic coach,
Yelling from the sidelines...
'You must be on crack!
You're reacting like a dope! '
Those with faith...
Seem to do what they do.
And get things accomplished that way.
Yet some folks say they pray...
And have something to complain about,
EVERYDAY!
Many want to wine and dine,
And find they pay the piper!
While believing someone seen struggling,
Has it made.
Since no complaints are heard to come from them.
Nor is it believed,
God is behind these scenes assisting.
'Good luck comes to those born with intelligence! '
~What?
You must be the one cursed with bad luck...
And a life that's unfortunate! ? ~
'You are right!
How did you know that? '
~It is seen in your eyes as you carry that on your back! ~
Hoping and praying for your dreams to happen.
And nothing done you do inspires that to become true.
Because you are the one who claims,
If it wasn't for bad luck...
You wouldn't have none so you sing the blues.
Many like you find themselves,
Pulling out of quicksand.
And with no ropes.
Or with an enthusiastic coach,
Yelling from the sidelines...

You're reacting like a dope! '

Hypnotize
Well if you set your mind to fallin
I know that you can
You got everything you wanted
Youve done everything you plan
So let me make an offer
Im only trying to help
You can make your loan just a little longer
All you got to do is share the wealth
Oh no dont you keep your good luck to yourself
Oh no dont you keep your good luck to yourself
I know youve got problems
I see it in your eyes
But if you want to live to see the morning
Leave it up to your brother or you get a surprise
Oh no dont you keep your good luck to yourself
Oh no dont you keep your good luck to yourself
Yea
Yea
Oh
Yea
Yea
Yea
Oh
Well its time to see
Youve got to give or your gonna see
Hey its time to see
Youve got to give if you wanna believe
You will breathe
Its time to see

(oh no dont you keep your good luck to yourself)

Preferred As Protective Devices
In unfortunate ways these days,
People are allowed to betray themselves.
And with validation...
From those they declare as friends.
With a shallowness sought and received from them.
Today few have close friends.
Too many are accustomed to dishonesty.
And truth is disbelieved.
Even some find the mention of it offends.
Delusions are preferred as protective devices.
And when visions becomes blurred,
People seek actively deception as advice.
Only to complain to others what they've heard...
About their depressed and troubled lives.
Leaving that wide of a gap in their minds.
And finding it convenient to wallow away in grief.

Driven From The Seat
His life is a lie.
Smothered under alibis.
Tied he is to connected delusions!
Only his breathing...
Is not worth debate or denied!
Everything else should be of concern.
As he is driven from the seat,
Of every illusion he yearns!
Kept nourished he is,
To feed an ego burning...
That has marred a scarred reality.
And nothing of this he has learned...
For him to expect a respect not earned!
His life is a lie.
Smothered under alibis.
Tied he is to connected delusions!
And a dangerous mind like his,
Continues to leave behind misery!
And tears to those believing...
Anything he says he is!

A Sunday Prayer 06
Dear Lord my prayer is to thank you,
for giving me the wisdom of the written word,
so I may share with others,
the beauty of our lives.
I thank you for the food upon our tables,
the friends that share our lives,
and the love of a wonderful woman
who graces my life.
I thank you for guiding me
through any troubles I may encounter,
bringing me peace of mind
that others find it hard to find.
I thank you for all the gifts
that you have bestowed on me.
I also want to thank you
for allowing me to help others when I can.
Amen

Metal Beat
Nobody knew me so I bought some time.
An hour or two with a friend of mine.
Somebody lied so I burned their soul.
Somebody screamed and the fire burned cold.
I cure things, sweet young things.
I take the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
I soothe the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
I take the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
Like someone walks on their grave.
I booked a small room in a cheap motel.
Somewhere to hide and a cure to sell.
I call it fashion, Ill make them bleed.
No one to love but a ghost to feed.
I was a puppet pulling my own strings.
I cant believe that I did such things.
I was a shadow but God forgives.
Now Im a priest and jesus lives.
- adlib -
I cure things, sweet young things.
I take the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
I take the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
I take the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
Like someone walks on their grave.
How can I save you if you dont confess?
Kneel down bitch be truly blessed.

Why Don't We Live Together (original New York Mix)
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all of the parties every night
They're not enough
You want something more ((Tell me))
I want you
I want you
(Tell)
(Tell)
I find you when I want you
And lose you late at night
The woman in me shouts out
The man in me just smiles
I may not always love you
You may not care
But if we should live together
There's something we could share
If we dare
Why don't we?
(Baby) Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
(Baby) Why don't we live together? ((Baby))
With all the love we had, and all the love we hide
We'll find a home together
((Baby)) And sleep there every night
((Baby)) There's a time and place for most things
((Baby)) This time we'll get it right
((Aah)) You may not always love me
I may not care
But intuition tells me, baby
There's something we could share
If we dare
Why don't we?
(Baby) Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
(Baby) Why don't we live together? ((Baby))
With all the love we had, and all the love we hide
Why don't we live together? ((together))
Together? ((together baby))
Why don't we live together? ((together))
Together?
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
(Baby)
((Ooh, baby, baby, sing about it))
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
((Baby)) You may not always love me
I may not care
But intuition tells me, baby
There's something we could share
If we dare
Why don't we?
(Baby) Why don't we live together? ((Ooh ooh))
You won't believe in love until the day you try
(Baby) Why don't we live together? ((Baby, baby))
With all the love we had, and all the love we hide ((Baby))
Why don't we live together? ((together))
Together? ((together baby))
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
((Baby, Ooh, baby))
((Sing about why don't we live together))
You won't believe until the day you try ((Baby, baby))
(Baby) Why don't we live together?
Why don't we live together?
(Baby) Why don't we live together? (Ooh ooh)
You won't believe in love until the day you try

Without the love, love you feel inside

New Way To Love
Maybe we dont need to share the same roof, maybe
If you really love me, you dont need me round for proof, baby
If I go to the desert for some clean dry air
We could have ourselves a long distance love affair
Well take it anywhere, a nationwide pair
Well if your living together isnt working out
Id rather live in nebraska, than keep livin here in doubt
Ill take an alternate route, Ill find a new way
There are places to go that weve never dreamed of
Were gonna find a new way to love
Chorus:
Were gonna find a new way to love, find out what satisfies us
The good old ways just aint good enough
Were gonna find a new way to love
Maybe we could learn to like the same things, maybe
Discover the joy that togetherness brings, baby
We could share our records, we could see the same plays
Even plan our vacations for the very same days
Well put our lives in phase, livin in a happiness haze
Well it may not be easy, but then nothin else was
Ask a mountain climber why he does what he does
Hell tell you just because, I need to find a new way
Hey now weve got a mountain of our own to rise above
Were gonna find a new way to love
Chorus
(solo)
Maybe we dont need to see eye to eye, maybe
We dont need to vote for the very same guy, baby
You can move to the left whenever I keep right
Im a big bad wolf, you can be snow white
Ive got a huge appetite, you wanna eat light
Im down here beggin for more, you tell me youve had enough
We gotta find a new way to love
Chorus repeats 4x
Were gonna find a new way to love

This Universe (They Have This Need)
Do not become fooled or tricked by them.
The ones who talk of both fear and sin.
Their way of observing life may be coming to its end.
But this Universe is full of abundance.
Perhaps for them there is this 'need' to believe...
What they have created has to be deflated!
There is this need for some to feel defeated.
As if it's up to them who lives to breathe!
There is this need for some to feel defeated.
As if it's up to them who stays and leaves.
And those who play God are on medications long outdated!
And those who play God are on medications long outdated!
And those who play God are on medications over-rated.
Do not become fooled or tricked by them.

But this Universe is full of abundance.

And those who play God are on medications long outdated!
And those who play God are on medications long outdated!
And those who play God are on medications over-rated.

Those who play God are on medications long outdated!
(They have this need)
Those who play God are on medications long outdated!

Those who play God are on medications long outdated!

Indepth Information and Eye Contact
Oh, I have a lot to say.
Especially to those who have betrayed,
The trust of others.
And they continue to charade,
In the face of those they have deceived...
With misdeeds.
Oh, I have a lot to say.
Oh, I have a lot to say.
To those who sit with puckered lips.
With silent voices to offer...
When their opinions could change,
The lives they daily complain...
To unconcerned others about.
Instead of taking the opportunity,
To open their mouths.
Especially around those,
Who have the authority to make changes.
Don't bring your dirt to me.
Then pick up the phone to tell anyone,
Why you believe my actions will not please!
As you slander, character assassinate...
And backstab me!
Oh, I have a lot to say!
Yes,
I have a lot to say.
After witnessing a people let their lives decay.
After watching these same people,
Have things go their way to have the nerve to say...
How others who have dedicated their lives to do things right,
And unafraid.
Are deserving to be despised by those who tell lies?
I don't think so!
Oh, I have a lot to say!
AND...
This wont be done behind anyone's back.
I want them to feel my breath.
As I express my desire to request and get,
From them...
Indepth information and eye contact!
With facts I am fed until my satisfaction arrives.
