for Selena
indeed
i commend you
your legs are
sexier now with
the polka dot mini
and black
stockings
at the age of
45 do not fear
you can still kick
point & dash &
sway
Selena do not just
trust luck
to get a man
you need to be a little
flirt this time
and be the smart ass
that you can
time passes you by
do not just wait there
go & grab & just be
yourself
open and
candid about what
you feel
and by all means
in God's name
say it.

Better Luck Next Time
Black is for the nighttime
Preys upon the day
Red is for the blood that flows like rivers in our veins
Gray is for betrayal
What you did to me
White is for the blinding light
That I know Ill never see, know Ill never see
Found you in the gutter
You needed tenderness
I gave you everything I had
I gave you all my trust
Handed out so neatly
Caught me in your trap
When I needed you the most
You stab me in the back, stab me in the back
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
If you do it once therell never be a second time
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
Find somebody else, youre never gonna be mine
How do you find the nerve
To lie right to me face
How do you find the nerve
Black is for the nighttime
Preys upon the day
Red is for the blood that flows like rivers in our veins
I try and find excuses
For what you did to me
Cant forget that burning rage
When I wake up thinking of your face
For the blinding swiftness of revenge
That I know Ill never see, know Ill never see
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
If you do it once therell never be a second time
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
Find somebody else, youre never gonna be mine
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)
How do you find the nerve
To lie right to me face
How did you find the nerve
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)

Smart Woman
Smart woman (in a real short skirt)
By: jimmy buffett, marshall chapman
1988
This song is about being in my 40's in the 80's. it seems i'm learing more than i'm forgetting.
-- spoken:
"so i told her, ooh you got money of your own? well, that gives me the urge to merge."
Bimbo limbo is where i've been
I know you know that it's wearing me thin
The times are changing, and it's about time
I'm rearrangin' all the guilt in my mind
Chorus:
I'm looking for a smart woman in a real short skirt
Smart woman who knows how to flirt
Smart woman got a mind of her own
Smart woman that'll take me home
Take me home
I'm not your macho kind of guy
But i can be so when i'm feeling shy
Hey, baby, where'd you get your good looks
Ooh, babe, i want to carry your books
Chorus:
I'm looking for a smart woman in a real short skirt
Smart woman who knows how to flirt
Smart woman got a mind of her own
Smart woman that'll take me home
Take me home
Beauty and brains (beauty and brains)
Best of both worlds (best of both worlds)
Think i can change (think i can change)
If you'll be my, be my, be my girl
Chorus:
I'm looking for a smart woman in a real short skirt
Smart woman who knows how to flirt
Smart woman got a mind of her own
Smart woman that'll take me home
Take me home
Chorus:
I'm looking for a smart woman in a real short skirt
Smart woman who knows how to flirt
Smart woman got a mind of her own
Smart woman better take me home
Take me home

Time To Fear
Picture me on the edge of sadness
I was too blind to see the truth
My hearts beating fast I'm not alone
but you're not there
Friendly smiles steal a glance
But me I'm furious inside
Can I get out of here now
Everything is falling down on me
And deep inside my mind I know I love you
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my life
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my life
You say I do always wrong
So you must hurt me again
I feel so sorry
but you do not
And you're not here
I question why I left you
Ain't love when under your sway
Will I be safe in here now
Eveything is falling down on me
And deep inside my mind I know I miss you
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live
Time is that all I really got to fear time time
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live
Time time time time
Teach Me To Trust
Maybe because its too good to be true
Maybe because I want it so much
Maybe I fear you dont really mean it
For I feel Im never enough
But I want you more
Than I ever wanted
Anything I can recall
But something inside
Keeps saying youll hurt me
Do I dare to trust it at all
Chorus:
Teach me to trust
Darling you must
Or else Ill go out of my mind
When Im not near you
I always fear you
Have somebody else on the line
Is it a fear
Or is it a knowing
A jealousy born out of truth
cause I watch you flirt
And its how you embrace
Them with your eyes
That say I could lose
2nd chorus:
Teach me to trust
Make me feel loved
Tell me Ive no need to fear
Just make me feel safe
Whatever it takes
Tell me what I need to hear
cause I need to feel
Important and special
Your cherished and only true love
And sometimes I think
Ill die from this feeling
If you dont teach me to trust
Tag:
Cant you reach me
And teach me to trust

Not So Serious
I say why are you always so serious?
Can not one sometimes have little fun.
Let their be a creation directly from the imagination.
Happiness is all we seek in a world so grey.
I can not let it dull any of my sensations.
So I grab a pen and I'm writing again.
So I grab a book and I'm reading again.
So I grab a controller and I'm playing a game again.
So I grab some headphones and I'm jamming again.
Anything and everything.
Please just let me have my many escapes.
Even if it is a prelude to many mistakes.
It still is my life that I will live my way no matter the day.
Rain or shine.
Work one can not do all the time.
Or it become a monotonous task that eventually drives one insane.
Take a day off.
Honestly you can afford it.
Even you are barely making it.
Even if you are robbing Peter to pay Paul.
In one day it won't change.
Their is time when you should play.
Trust me it will be okay.
It might even help.
Who really knows?

0978..... Belief Vs Trust
Belief is Doubtful, Trust is Certain
Belief is from Mind, Trust is from Heart
Belief is Lip Service; Trust is Heart Felt
Believe many; Trust only a Few
Believing is Easy, Trusting is Hard
Belief scores 50%, Trust scores 100%
Belief is Ordinary; Trust is Extra-ordinary
Belief is Start point; Trust is End Point
Belief is Limited; Trust is infinite
Belief is Shaking Hands, Trust is Embracing
Belief keeps Control; Trust gives up control
Belief is jumping opportunities; Trust is staying
Belief is not Time Tested; Trust passes Tough Times
Belief is Partial; Trust is Complete
Believe in Thoughts; Trust your Intuition
Belief in God is Attempting; Trust in God is Surrender
Belief is Important; Trust is Essential
Belief is Plastic Rose; Trust is Real Rose

R Teenz
It's time to live your wacky teens,
With shaggy hair and baggy jeans,
Live highs and lows and in-betweens...
God bless! Good luck to you...
It's time to face your zits and spots,
To fall in love and feel the hots,
To blurt out loud, 'I love you, lots! '
God bless! Good luck to you...
It's time exams give you the chills,
In school where you can learn job skills,
So someday YOU can pay the bills!
God bless! Good luck to you...
It's time you try to make new friends,
Or else the loneliness extends,
Until you feel it never ends...
God bless! Good luck to you...
It's time before your twenties start,
You may be dumb, you may be smart,
I bet you'll have a broken heart...
God bless! Good luck to you...
It's time that passes year by year,
Saint Valentine's and Christmas cheer,
But will you pray when Easter's here?
God bless! Good luck to you...
I've lived those years and, my, they flew!
I've loathed the false, I've loved the true...
I've left those years... God got me through...
God bless! Good luck... to you...

Time For Everything
we all have the time for everything…
a time to play and a time to sleep
a time to move and a time to be stiff
a time to cry and a time to laugh
a time to be weak and a time to be tough.
a time to doubt and a time to trust
a time to agree and a time to contrast
a time to be slow and a time to be fast
a time to fade and a time to last.
having twenty four hours a day, we have…
a time to be good and a time to be bad
a time to be mad and a time to be glad
a time to be silent and a time to be loud
a time to be down and a time to be proud
a time to be smart and a time to be dumb
a time to be hurt and a time to be loved
a time to be honest and a time to lie
a time to live and of course a time to die.

Your God Is Fear
Your god is fear
That all you are
Is all there is
Your god is fear
And nothing more
Of all of this
Your god is fear
Been and gone
in the blink of an eye
Fear of ever breathing
Fear of ever leaving
Fear of ever changing
Forever, for now
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
That all you are
Is all there is
Your god is fear
Of nothing more
Than all of this
Your god is fear
Been and gone
In the blink of an eye
Fear of ever choosing it
Fear of ever losing it
Fear of ever playing
Forever, for now
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
Just for a moment
Feel it inside
Feel it alive
Feel your desire
Feel it catch fire
Feel it inspire
How all you are
Is all there is
Nothing ever moves
In anything
Open your mind
Step out of time
Let yourself die
And your god is
Your god is
Your god...

Take Your Time
Im gonna make one hour in inte
Just a few minutes
Im gonna get two days for the
Price of one
Theres a one word rhyme
And thats called living
Thares a one word love
Means plenty of giviing
Im gonna give it til Im done
But everybody keeps telling me to
Take it easy
But time doesnt sit down and wait
While Im trying to get it done
But youre not me, thank god
You can take your time slowly
Makes me fell good just to watch
You lie down and have your fun
Take your time
Take your time
And Ill take my own time
(repeat 2x)
I can take it slowly or you can keep
Runnin on runnin on
When I put one foot in front of
The other
To me that doesnt mean walk that
Means run
I always want to start the race
Before the gates open
I always want to start the race
Before I hear the sound
Of the gun
But everybody keeps tellin me to
Take it easy
But time doesnt sit down and wait
While Im trying to get it done
But youre not me, thank god
You can take your time slowly
Makes me fell good just to watch
You lie down and have your fun
Take your time
Take your time
And Ill take my own time
(repeat 6x)
You say itll take a you year
I say just take me a second
But theres room for both of us
Just open the room
You know a year of time sees so
Many changes
And the speed of light in the black
Of night
Makes a full moon...

Open Your Eyes
Lately,
I'm not quite myself.
Maybe,
I do need some help.
Just my confusion,
Trust my delusion.
Don't you,
Regret you met me.
Go through,
These steps to get me,
Back to where we start,
'Fore I fall apart.
If I could black out,
It'd become so clear,
Standing face-to-face with everything I fear.
Watch so closely,
but still I don't see.
As bad as it seems,
a piece of mind I steal,
An ordinary life,
But consequences real.
I'm past the point of reality.
This isn't me,
This isn't you,
When it's just everything we do.
Till you open up your eyes,
and understand this isn't real.
This isn't me,
This isn't you,
This is everything but true,
Till we come to realize,
It's what we put each other through.
It's like a bad dream,
Coming all so true,
Leaving me with nothing else left to do.
Now so helpless,
I'm not so selfish.
Tell me,
How does it feel to have a face like that,
How does it feel to be replaced like that.
Now so faceless,
Do you still feel?
This isn't me,
This isn't you,
When it's just everything we do.
Till you open up your eyes,
and understand this isn't real.
This isn't me,
This isn't you,
This is everything but true,
Till we come to realize,
It's what we put each other through.
It's hard to believe right now,
This seems to be real.
Still phasing by this time,
So why can't I wake up.
This isn't me,
This isn't you,
When it's just everything we do.
Till you open up your eyes,
and understand this isn't real.
This isn't me,
This isn't you,
This is everything but true,
Till we come to realize,
It's what we put each other through.

The Kick Inside Of Me
You put the storm out, thats up in my head
You put the call out
Beside of me, kick up inside of me
And you steal the world and live to survive
And shake out the ghosts and then you turn around
In spite of me, kick up inside of me
One for the first time
Two for the last time
Three for the thrill and
Four for the last time
As far as I can see, youre gonna
Move deep deeper deep inside of me
Kick away my life kick away
You put the fear in me, kick away, kick away
As far as I can see you move deep deep inside of me
Take me away, take me away, up to another day
Open up the way, lead me away in the pouring rain
In the pouring rain
You put the storm out, thats up in my head
You put the call out
Beside of me, kick up inside of me
And we steal the world and live to survive
Shake out the ghosts and turn around
In spite of me, shake up the ghosts inside of me
One for the first time, two for the last time
Three for the thrill, and four for the last time
As far as I can see, youre gonna
Move deep deeper deep inside of me
Take me away, ah ah ah until another day
Take me away, kick away
As far as I can see you put the fear inside of me
Kick away

Ill Wait
(taylor dayne, shep pettibone, tony shimkin)
Ill wait by the window
Ill wait by the door
To make sure you dont come home after dark
Now, Ill wait by the phone
Ill make sure Im at home
Ill be there when youre needin you know what
Now, I can tell you - by things you do
You dont know that Ive been watching you
Now, I dont understand your games or crazy plans
Im here for you baby, stop playing with my mind
Well, I know what
I feel inside
I trust enough in what my heart tells me
Havent I been good
The way I should
Just act like a man and stay here and stand by my side
Ill wait just a little more time
Just a little more time
To move in a new direction
Ill wait just a little more time
Till you make up your mind
You know that you needed me too
Why are you feelin so scared and unwilling
To be there - when someones there for you
Why time has to be so unkind for no reason
But love has no measure - this is true
Well, I know what
I feel inside
I trust enough
In what my heart tells me
Havent I been good
The way I should
Im willing, Im able
I need you to give me a sign
Ill wait just a little more time
Just a little more time
To move in a new direction
Ill wait just a little more time
Till you make up your mind
I know that you needed me too
Ill wait
Yes, Ill wait
Just a little more time
Baby, new directions
Ill wait just a little more time
Till you make up your mind
I know that you needed me too
Baby, havent I been good to you
The way that I said I would be
Why are you leaving me now
Well, I know what
I feel inside
I trust enough
In what my hearts been telling me
Havent I been good
The way I should
Im willing, Im able
I need you to give me a sign

Fly
In a moment
Everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulders
For a minute
All the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday
Can ya hear it calling?
Can ya feel it in your soul?
Can ya trust this longing?
And take control
(chorus)
Fly
Open up the part of you
that wants to hide away?
You can shine
Forget about the reasons
why you can't in life
and start to try
Cause its your time
Time to fly
All your worries
leave them somewhere else
Find the dream you can follow
reach for something
When theres nothing left
And the world is feeling hollow
can ya hear it calling?
Can ya feel it in yourself?
Can ya trust this longing?
And take control
(chorus)
Fly
Open up the part of you
that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons
why you can't in life
and start to try
Cause its your time
Time to fly
And when you're down
and feel alone
Just wanna run away
Trust yourself and
don't give up
You know you better
than anyone else
In a moment
everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulders
For a minute
all the world can wait
Let go of yesterday
Fly
Open of the part of you
that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons
why you can't in life(can't in life)
and start to try (start to try)
Fly
Forget about the resons
why you can't in life (can't in light)
and start to try (start to try)
Its your time
time to fly
In a moment
everything can change

Trust
Trust, a delicate matter of me and you
A relationship that is so fresh, brand new
That we barely know the others birthday
But you said it didn't matter what others say
So I trust you to a point, I think, but not completely
I still need that little bit of freedom, space to flee
And right there is the problem that we now face
Because neither of us seem to be able to keep this pace
It's just that you go so fast and I can't help but feel fear
That once this phase is over, this won't last a year
I feel pathetic that I wish for a way out of this box
And I know Im paranoid when I feel like a hunted fox
Don't tell me that this is enough for you because I know
That even though I am scared your impatience shows
It's not that I'm new to this because that isn't true
It's just that before it wasn't caring but this is you
I can't help but feel that I am holding you back
Maybe that it's my fault, that there is something I lack
Yes there is a problem with confidence but maybe more
I fear you because you are an opportunity, an open door
Can I let my disturbing past be buried in butterfly kisses?
Or is this too much to hope for, no matter the number of wishes
A little problem of trust, nothing more nothing less
But I do love you that's something I must confess

Waiting For Waiting's Sake
Waiting is more of a feeling than a state or being
When you wait it's not really time spent that weighs on you
IT's really the purpose or reason and the place you wait too
Waiting never is waiting even when it's 5 or 10 or 20 hours or more
It becomes waiting when you feel impatient
When you feel you can no longer wait
That is truly when you being to wait
And wait for waiting's sake
It always seems like more minutes more time
More time is what makes it weigh more, but it's a change
In emotion basically an enigma
It is not even what you do as you wait
If anything at all, it strangely is just the
Feeling. Consider when you simply stare at the
Clouds for hours, you wait and wait
Watch the clouds' gait
But not even a minute passes not in your mind
Not any second is wasted of left behind
But waiting 2 simple minutes is waiting
When you let emotions take hold
Even asked to wait another second is brazen and bold
So you see it is only that emotion
Only that feeling, desire for resolution and restitution
It's funny how we are not controlled by
States or circumstances
Mere happenstance
But rather we are controlled by character, emotion, our feeling
No state of the world can change them
It is only when
We allow our perceptions to change, it is only then
Circumstance even affects us, it only happens when we let it
And so I say when we wait and don't feel waiting
It is not waiting at all, no matter how much time
I realize I feel nothing, no sense of waiting not when I rhyme
I lose perception of time and so I have unlimited time
To write and write and write each and every single
Time I wait and even I wait for waiting's sake

Do You Wanna Go The Whole Way?
Before we take off all our clothes and get close together /
Before it gets too serious both of us need to know /
Are we gonna go the whole awy this time? / this time?
Before all secrets are revealed old scars must heal or wither /
But its getting very late and I cant wait anymore /
Are we gonna go the whole way this time /
Do you wanna go the whole way this time? / this time?
Do you wanna go the whole way now? / were taking it easy /
Do you wanna go the whole way, babe? / kick it in, kick it in slowly.
Do you wanna go the whole way this time? /
Do you wanna go the whole way for sure /
Do you wanna go the whole way this time? / this time? /
This time? / do ya?

What’s Luck?
Luck is something that comes, not so often;
Luck is an occurrence in life, quite rare;
Luck’s unpredictable phenomenon;
Luck is a devil that is rarely kind!
Luck’s the last thing one should ev’r depend on;
Luck cannot simply come to all always;
Luck can’t work magic without labor hard;
Luck is futile if basic things aren’t done.
Luck is a make-up that needs a good face;
Luck’s a pretty dame with contours and shape;
Luck is an element of great surprise;
Luck is not the usual way, world goes by!
Luck is the decoration on a cake;
Luck’s a factor that clicks for some at times;
Luck isn’t the first thing, we trust any time;
Perseverance is key to success prime.

The Edge
The edge of the moment, the glory of the kill
Thirsting for excitement and hunger for the thrill
Screams around the corners
Sound like demons in the wind
Their voices pushing me to where Ive never been
(chorus)
A look at the cards and they just see the red
I say its all in the head
Fears a skin that you have to shed
If not youre better off dead
Times on the edge
Means Im on the edge of time...
Maybe no tomorrow I live my life today
Luck is my religion to the lady I will pray
I fear to see the black in every tinsel town
They an try and take my pride
But they can never take my crown
(chorus)
Times on the edge
Lifes full of time
Lifes in my head
Means Im on the edge of time...
