My First Pretzels
My first pretzels
on an air vessel
My mind I shuffle
but it's as a dumble-
Will I stumble
Will my world crumble?
Will I stay humble
As my experience double?
Will it be a dazzle
Or just a hassle?

So Much To Be Thankful For (Sonnetina Rispetto)
Just when you think that things are right
You get blinded and lose your sight
Just when your world starts to crumble
God gives you much to live thank for
Many surprises waiting at your door
Blessings He gives us be humble
Just when you think that things are right
You get blinded and lose your sight
So when you think nothing is right
Keep hope focus on His light
Just when you think that things are right
You get blinded and lose your sight
Just when your world starts to crumble
Blessings He gives us be humble

Neon Shuffle
Hey - what you going to do now
Youre standing there and wondering how
Youve got to make some noise
Just like one of the girls
Or even one of the boys
When you do it
It aint no disgrace
I can see it written all across your face
Neon shuffle and shuffle into outer space
I said - neon shuffle is a dance for the human race
I said - neon shuffle is gonna pull you outta your place
You - you put your hands together
Better make up a storm
Or some electricky weather
Now that the powers stop
Can you click your heels
Can you finger pop
Neon shuffle
Neon shuffle its going to do it to me
Neon shuffle its going to do it to you
Neon shuffle its going to do it with red
Neon shuffle its going to do it with blue
Neon shuffle its going to run you right through
Neon shuffle with a stick of bamboo

Lost In The Shuffle
(eric carmen)
Dont wanna hear no more about the p.l.o.
Or the a.f.l. and the c.i.o.
Not the f.b.i. or the a.s.p.c.a.
You know Ive had my fill of capitol hill
And the opec prices and the oil spills
Ive had enough bad news to last me a year today
And I feel Im lost in the shuffle
And Im not gonna take it
I feel lost in the shuffle
And Im not gonna take it no more
Oh no
No, no, no
Lost in the shuffle
Lost in the shuffle
Well Ive got no time for the rise in crime
And plutonium leaks and mile-long lines
Of cars backed up just tryin to buy some gasoline
Well Im up to here with the cancerous rats
And the test tube babies and bureaucrats
Looks like the whole damn worlds
Just comin apart at the seams
And I feel Im lost in the shuffle
And Im not gonna take it
I feel lost in the shuffle
And Im not gonna take it no more
Oh no
No, no, no
Lost in the shuffle
Lost in the shuffle
You know you pay your taxes and you work all day
But you better watch out for the c.i.a.
cause theyre putting together a dossier on you
And now Im glad Im livin in the land of the free
Where I can speak my mind if I dont agree
But it seems like it really doesnt matter
What I say or do
cause I feel Im lost in the shuffle
And Im not gonna take it
And I feel lost in the shuffle
And Im not gonna take it no more
Oh no
No, no, no
Lost in the shuffle
Lost in the shuffle
Lost in the shuffle

Why Pretzels Do Not Eat Us
why pretzels do not eat us
why pretzels do not eat us
eye opened up the pretzel bag and much to my surprise
they grabbed me and began to pull me deep inside
eye lurched and jumped to no avail as munching then begun
the pretzels in my bag was eating me the fun had just began
they laughed and giggled and had so much fun
eye am not an ogre by any means
eye let the pretzels have their way
for they were just eating me
so when eye come up missing just find an old worn out pretzel bag
and then look deep inside

The curse in ruling
Ability without stability will stumble.
Stability without ability will crumble.
The former will rule and the latter succumb.

Tophat, Cape and Evening Gloves
Please keep me humble.
Don't let me stumble on my arrogance.
Don't let my ego leave fumes of stench!
Please keep me humble.
And when I have risen to heights,
To pay much more than my rent.
Help me remember,
My talents have been to me God sent.
And He can remove all of my pretensions.
Especially those I flaunt...
Seeking attention I necessarily do not want!
Please keep me humble.
At least...
Until I have arrived to see the eyes of Oprah!
And only then will I pretend not to know you!
But as for now...
Keep me humble,
With my feet planted on the ground.
'I hope you are kidding? '
Me?
Of course.
Now toss me my tophat,
Cape and evening gloves.
I feel like taking a stroll,
Around the neighborhood!
Leaving those a glimpse...
And a taste of what's to come.
'And you believe that is being humble? '
Of course not!
I said 'Please keep me humble.'
Do you think I have any intentions,
To stay that way?
If I have to fall from a climb...
I am going to make sure I leave visuals!
I know what I want.
But I also know folks love to be entertained!

Chicago
Chicago, chicago, that toddlin town
Chicago, chicago, Ill show you around (youll stay around)
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in
Chicago, chicago, the folks who visit
All wanna settle down. (all wanna settle down in my hometown)
On state street, that great street, I just wanna say,
They do things they dont do on broadway,
Youll have the time, the time of your life
Bring all your friends, all your kids and your wife to
Chicago, chicago my hometown. (hey now baby--)

Youll have the time, the time of your life
Bring all your friends, all your kids and your wife to

Big In Japan
Winters cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That Id ever find a glimps of summers heatwaves in your eyes
You did what you did to me, now its history I see
Heres my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, its easy when your big in japan
When your big in japan, tonight
Big in japan, be tight, big in japan where the eastern seas so blue
Big in japan, alright, pay, then Ill sleep by your side
Things are easy when youre big in japan, when youre big in japan
Neon on my naked skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or shall I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes
You did what you did to me, now its history I see...
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, its easy when youre big in japan

Statues Crumble
Still and tall as a statue.
I stand straight with perfect posture
At every event.
Be it a birthday party,
Or a funeral.
And, if it is a funeral, I'm the one
Everyone leans on.
'Tis a heavy weight I lift, every time,
And I don't have much stone left now.
Not sure how many more times I can hold them.
I'm losing my stone to rain and other weather.
It's eroding.
How much longer before I
Crumble to the ground,
Just a heap of dust?
I want to stay strong, but I'm weakening.
If I crumble who can put me back
Together again?
If I crumble when I crumble.
Will I ever be a statue again?
Still and strong, I am a statue.
But statues crumble

Patience
Red! Red! Red!
Is there no black?
Red like the bloody earth, this pack!
Knaves! Kings! Queens!- all red!
Where are the black?
Shuffle again!
Will not the other cards come back?
The only cards to clear the brain!
Dear God, ‘twill crack!
Shuffle again!
Red! Red! Red!
Black! Black! Black!
Is there no red?
Has all the blood on earth been shed?
Each Queen! Each King! and every Jack!
Where are the red?
Shuffle again!
Has blood within the world all bled?
The millions mourning for the slain?
The million dead?
Shuffle again!
Black! Black! Black!

An uncertain stage
Uncertainty in mind may puzzle
clouds may hover and rain may dazzle
it may do the work for rest
why not we deliver the best?
i do take it as test
act as per conscience whichever comes first
no double mind for what to do
you have to think fast and go through
it is not good to have double mind
something you have to think and find
it must make headway and take you along
it must make aware of what is right and wrong
It may not go well with the time
Still you may not be committing the crime
It may upset you in that particular moment
But still you have clear mind not to resent
It is better not to involve when mind is not clear
You may have all the some hidden fear
It may not allow you to come out clean
It may not be clear case to win
Well, see to it that it appeals you first
If you think clearly it will not land you in worst
You may have enough time to maneuver
You will find the space as good mover
It is nice to think always good
It may keep you In happy mood
There is conscience hurdle and repentance
Whatever comes is real and in presence

My Kind Of Town
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people too
People who,smile at you
And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tugging my sleave, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz
And each time I rome, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town
Chicago is
The Wrigley Building, Chicago is
The Union stock yard, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my
My kind of town

Add the hair of a go-go girl
Turn it into a dance that's called

Lose your mind
You'll see the oceans part
You'll think your goin' blind
You can talk about your daily grind
While she'll dish out the soft shoe
If makin' money doesn't suit your mind
We've got something here
Here for you
You can sit there and suck your thumb
Hear the rock and roll hum
But you're just a crazy wall flower
Till you join all your friends on the floor
And do the...

Take your clothes off and start to shake

One+One = None
When two bodies collide there is no place to hide!
How do you feel now, how much pain will you allow?
What is that? You say it's a cry?
To me it sounds like a lie,
He said it's gonna be ok,
Soon we will be on our way,
What is it that makes you feel so blue,
How do I stay true to you?
I am just a man who is lost to love,
Trying too hard to reach out,
Gotta step back and be humble,
I don't wanna see you stumble,
I only tried to help, but,
It all went wrong,
Don't know if I belong,
I'll know when it's too late,
Not scared of my fate,
I just want to see you smile,
May have to wait a while!
Is this my last chance to be with you?
Not sure if I really want to!
Once we are together that might be the end,
Thats ok, finally the world will mend,
Where will we go and what will we do?
Doesn't matter as long as we stay true!

5 Years After
15th September 2005,
And the flight took me far away;
15th September 2010,
And i made my first millions in life!
Yes,5 years after;
And my savings was enough to build up my dreams.

Hassle, Hassle the Crazy Cage
# Hassle hassle the crazy cage #
Raju Baruah
Mask and Mask
Here mask, there mask
Musk over musk
I have forgotten my childhood face
I have lost my childhood eyes
I have lost my childhood smiles
Where is my cittern
Where is my clad
Where I lost my self
Play with clay
Sand pitch and the toys
Dews of grass
I grab with joy
Who taught me to wear mask
From where I learn to put me in husk
Every time we cheat our self
Every time we make delft
Hassle hassle the crazy cage.

Tough Streets Of Chicago
Tough streets of Chicago, you made me who I am.
Tough streets of Chicago, for me you had a plan.
You forced me to observe, what kids my age did not.
You taught me to look and see, always looking for a plot.
You taught me to react, and kept me on my toes.
You taught me to examine, the actions of my foes.
You forced me to react, in situations dire.
You made sure I would function, when I came under fire.
You made sure I was tough, made sure I'd understand,
the skills that I would need, when I joined uncle Sam.
Tough streets of Chicago, I almost went insane.
Tough streets of Chicago, you caused me so much pain.
You made me grow up fast, always dodging death.
You made me run from danger, could hardly catch my breath.
You took most of my friends, why, I'll never understand.
You made it possible to count, all my friends on one hand.
You took them in their teens, you took them very young.
You took them way before, to live they had begun.
Tough streets of Chicago, my tour is almost up.
Tough streets of Chicago, with your gangster posting up.
Tough streets of Chicago, can't get you off my mind.
Tough streets of Chicago, I miss those streets of mine.
Tough streets of Chicago...............................

September Morn
Written by: neil diamond and gilbert becaud
Stay for just a while
Stay, and let me look at you
Its been so long, I hardly knew you
Standing in the door
Stay with me a while
I only want to talk to you
Weve traveled halfway round the world
To find ourselves again
September morn
We danced until the night became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel this way
Look at what youve done
Why, youve become a grown-up girl
I still can hear you cryin
In the corner of your room
And look how far weve come
So far from where we used to be
But not so far that weve forgotten
How it was before
September morn
Do you remember how we danced that night away
Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel this way
