I Agree, I Find Long Poems Senseless
i like it brief and quick
like zip-less sex
on the train
bound for Zurich
like an exclamation point
inside my
mouth.

Jacobs Ladder/this Train Revised
We are climbing
Jacobs ladder
We are climbing
Jacobs ladder
Out of these boxcars
And out of these chambers
Out of the bed where we lay
With ten strangers
We are climbing
Jacobs ladder
We are climbing
On jacob, jacobs ladder
Its a fish white belly
A lump in my throat
Razor on the wire
Skin and bone
Piss and blood
In a railroad car
One hundred people
Gypsies queers
And davids star
This train is bound for glory
This train is bound for glory
This train is bound for glory now
This train
Yeah
Measure the bones
Count the face
Pull out the teeth
Did you get them all?
Do you belong
To the human race
Doctor doctor
Are you unkind
Do you shock the monkeys
Cover our eyes
With clear blue skies
Ah
This train is bound for glory
Ah
This train is bound for glory
Ah
This train is bound for glory now
Ah ah
This train
Here is a dancer
Who has no legs
Here is a teacher
Who has no face
Here is a healer
Who has no hands
Here is a runner
Who has no feet
Here is a thinker
Who has no head
Here is a builder
Who has no back
Here is a writer
Who has no voice
These are the questions
These are the answers
Stacked like wood
This train is bound for glory
This train is bound for glory
This train is bound for glory now
This train
This train is bound for glory
This train it carried your mothers
This train is bound for glory
This train it, it carried your fathers
This train is bound for glory now
This train it, it carried your sisters
This train
This train it, it carried your brothers
(here is a teacher)
This train it, it carried my sisters
(here is a writer)
This train it, it carried my brother
(here is a thinker)
This train is
This train is bound for glory
These are the questions
Stacked like wood
These are the answers
Here is potential
And its gone for good

Marley Medley: Guava Jelly/this Train
(laughter)
Yeah...
Baby I really want to know
I think you should stop your cryin'
Use my 'kerchief to dry your eyes
You know I love you
Ruby, here I am
A rub upon my belly like some Guava Jelly
Damsel, here I am
A rub upon my belly like some Guava Jelly
This Train, is Bound For Glory
This Train
Hear me talkin' about
This Train, is Bound For Glory
This Train
This Train, is Bound For Glory
This Train, will carry no unholy stone
That the builder refused
Shall always be the head cornerstone
Stone that the builder refused
Shall always be the head cornerstone
You're a builder baby
Here I am a stone
Don't mean to confuse it girl
'Cause the things you should use
Are the things we should choose
And you hear me
Hear what I say
This Train, Bound For Glory
This Train
This Train, is Bound For Glory
This Train
This Train, is Bound For Glory
This Train, carry no unholy
'Cause I
I just can't be scared...

Jumping Someone Else's Train
Don't say what you mean
You might spoil your face
If you walk in the crowd
You won't leave any trace
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
It won't take you long
To learn the new smile
You'll have to adapt
Or you'll be out of style
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
If you pick up on it quick
You can say you were there
Again and again and again
You're jumping someone else's train
It's the latest wave
That you've been craving for
The old ideal
Was getting such a bore
Now you're back in line
Going not quite quite as far
But in half the time
Everyone's happy
They're finally all the same
'cause everyone's jumping
Everyone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train

Piss In My Mouth
criminal sitting on buses
who follow me home bound
make me a broken sick clown
has there been a crime against
me and my mouth
but with mind control
you can't see or fight back
you sit with piss just in your mouth
and women of all colors and crusades
who would believe they do theses things
surly only the very sick
now today i sit
with my arm crossed over
and hell bound with my Utah real pain
ready to be home ward bound
bland to the world of my own
mouth rape i am in piss
with no will and control
over my mouth
of being a toilet

Where Am I Heading For?
i've gone to Ireland
stopped at the United Kingdom
slept in the Virgin Islands
and left U.S.A for good
after a week
of jet setting
there is no Disneyland
in me anymore
no Golden Bridge
nothing like Spring Flowers and
Autumn leaves
I search for summer somewhere
in South Africa
almost had the sting of
Salvador's Dali's interpretative
painting rendition
of what life has for me to offer
Got laid in Mexico
and had zip-less memories
in the train bound for Zurich
took my bathe in the French Riviera
with some women of means
and shallow sensibilities
what more do i want of this life?
where am i further heading?
My problem not yours
Let my poems solve
what miseries i have
what doubts
what empty space filled with
Nothingness.

Cat's Eye Resurrection
What do you see when you look at me
I know what I see when I look at you
What do you see when you close your eyes
can you open your head and step inside
Sitting on top of a holy mountain
Swimming away in an acid fountain
Living inside a Scorpio tree
How does it feel to be ~
Stuck inside a Hollywood hallucination
playing you role in a vinyl generation
visions knocking you up and down
trapped like a rat cat town
lights in the mirror reflects your face
white line skin leaves no trace
hollow laughs from a demon clown
where the hell were you bound
Where were you going on that ghost train
did you see the wheels were moving in vain
how many times did that train run off the
tracks how many knives did you pull from
your back

Can you open your head and step inside
Sitting on top of a holy mountain
Swimming away in an acid fountain
Living inside a scorpio tree

Stuck inside a hollywood hallucination
Playing you role in a vinyl generation
Visions knocking you up and down
Trapped like a rat~cat town

Train Of Love
Train of love
Racing from heart to heart
Running late
Still in the lonely part
This train will never run me down
But only take me where Im bound
Its part of me and part of you
Ill always be a part of you
Sail along, sail along silver moon
Dont be blue
Throw shadows in my room
I know in time well meet again
We come and go that way, my friend
Its part of me and part of you
Ill always be a part of you
To love and honor til death do us part
Repeat after me
This train is never going back
When the lonesome whistle blows
No one knows, no one knows
Train of love, train of love
Train of love, train of love
Its part of me, its part of you
Train of love

Get Stiff Quick
When your backbone bends,
And your vision dims...
You've got to,
Get stiff.
Get stiff quick.
When you know you need to move,
From foolish doers...
Get stiff.
Get stiff quick.
No need to put up more with that funky stuff.
You've got to,
Get stiff.
Get stiff quick.
No need to ride a roller coaster,
You know was tough.
No need to do a shuffle singing those sad songs.
Or get along with others you wish from you gone!
Just,
Get stiff.
Get stiff quick.
You've got to,
Get stiff.
Get stiff quick!
When your backbone bends,
And your vision dims...
You've got to,
Get stiff.
Get stiff quick.
Mean what you say and be done with it.
You've got to,
Get stiff...
Get stiff quick!
Don't let just anything fall from your lips.
Or bite your tongue to let an old patience sit.
When you wish to make a point you know wont quit.
You've got to,
Get stiff.
Get stiff quick.
You've got to,
Get stiff.
Get stiff quick.

Quick Is The Beat Of My Heart
Written by lewis mark
Lead vocals by james young
If its my time to die today
Please God oh make it fast
Balanced on this point for a year and half
I just dont think I can last
Theres a man whos laid to rest
The man who gave me my start
I wish I could quit but I cant and its rough
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
So please all you people
Dont you grieve for me
The blood in my veins is black and I cant bleed
Ive suffered the pain
And all I can face is the dark
Oh, lord, quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Now my bags are almost packed
The trains about to depart
I wish I could quit but I cant and its rough
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
If its my time to die...

I Am Most Intriguing
Take this anyway you wish.
But aint nobody got it like me.
How do I know this?
'Oh...
I'm all ears.
I sit in anticipation.
Pray tell.
But wait...
Let me dim the lights.
I don't want to ruin the affect,
Of your revelation.'
Be sarcastic if you must.
However,
With a bit of 'but'...
I took the liberty to research myself.
Since I knew eventually others would do it!
And I came upon this discovery...
I am most intriguing!
'I know you are full of yourself! '
And...
I ask,
Your point
Is...
What?
I know this!
That's why there is so much of me to give!
'AND...
So much inside of my stomach,
Begs for a quick release.'
Sometimes that is the way of alter-egos.
They too wish to shine!
To reveal the depths captured in one's soul.
'I think you're nutts! '
And...
I ask,
Once A-gain...
Your point,
Is...
What?

Backtrack Girl
a girl takes a train
but the train that she has taken
backtracks,
all she needs to do
to adopt to this mistake
is change her sitting position
going south is her actual
destination
but the train is going north now
there is no point
going down
she has more time left
for recreation
lots of landscapes to see
more sad events
to forget
and things now
are getting straight
and perfect

I Have Seen
i have seen her
she smiles at me
inside the glass window
of the train
and she waves her hand
and then the train goes on and on and on
like a thought throughout the night
her face dissolving
in an infinite darkness
i am not light myself
i look for sound inside the forest
of my words.
