CCR cover of BAD MOON RISING

-I see the bad moon a-risin'
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today
Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a-blowin'
I know the end is comin' soon
I fear rivers over flowin'
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise, alright
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Well don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Don't come around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

AT LAST

At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ooh yeah, yeah
At last, the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to rest my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeah
You smile
You smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine
At last

I GOT A FEELING-Beatles cover lyric here

COMMON GROUND 

Ten miles outside of town
 And a thousand miles away in my head.
Don’t know if im gonna  stay
 and don’t know what im gonna say.
SO wont you walk in my shoes just a little while,
Wont you try and feel a little common ground
Wont you stop your life for just one minute 
And try and feel some common ground.
Wish I didn’t feel this way
Like id rather be somewhere else.
Good thing I know they all love me.
Or id just turn around and go the other way.
SO wont you walk in my shoes just a little while,
Wont you try and feel a little common ground
Wont you stop your life for just one minute
And try and feel some common ground …..spaghetti hillbillies..2-2014

Maybe labels don't do the job. Maybe we're more the same, than we are different. Maybe the labels just get in the way and keep us thinking we're different than "them" when we're not. This thinking is what keeps us from compassion and keeps us from feeling connected to each other. I am not a man or a woman. A believer or not. Rich or poor. A conservative or not. Straight or Gay. Black or White. American or not. But I am Human and I am not alone. I'm here, with you, sharing this common ground................This goes out to all the soldiers of the world, and their family’s, that have a hard time coming home to those who love them. May you find peace…..W.H.

HELPLESSLY HOPING-Crosby Stills and Nash

Helplessly hoping
Her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses
Of gentle true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of good-bye
Wordlessly watching
He waits by the window
And wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
He worries
Did he hear a good-bye? Or even hello?
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for-or each other
Stand by the stairway
You'll see something
Certain to tell you confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying
It's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on hello
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for-or each other

I'M A BELIEVER by Neil Diamond

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
And I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Not if i tried
I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
And I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Not if I tried
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
And I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Not if I tried
Oh, yeah
Said I'm a believer

Lay lady lay by Bob Dylan

Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have
In your mind
I'll show them to you
And you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day
Let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty, but his-
His hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's
Ever seen
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin?
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love?
When he's standing, in front of you
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead

LAY LADY LAY-Bob Dylan cover lyric here

LIKE A ROLLING STONE by Bob Dylan

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People call say 'beware doll, you're bound to fall'
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
Ahh you've gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
A complete unknown, like a rolling stone
Ah you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discovered that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
Ahh princess on a steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinking, thinking that they've got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel, ah how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me
Help me
Oh, no, no
Hammerin'
Talkin' 'bout heart 'n' s-soul
I'm talkin' about hard stuff
If everybody's still around, fluff and ease, if
So far out my mind
Something's happening, something's happening
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh, yeah!
Purple haze all in my eyes, uhh
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?
Ooh
Help me
Ahh, yea-yeah, purple haze, yeah
Oh, no, oh

EVERYTHING IS BROKEN by Bob Dylan

Broken lines, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads
People sleeping in broken beds
Ain't no use jiving, ain't no use joking
Everything is broken
Broken bottles, broken plates
Broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts
Streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything's broken
Seems like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hits the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws
Broken buckles, broken law
Broken bodies, broken bones
Broken voices, broken phones
Take a deep breath, feels like I'm choking
Everything's broken
Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bullfrog croaking
Everything's broken
Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands, broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bullfrog croaking
Everything's broken
Everything's broken
Everything's broken
Everything's broken
Everything's broken
(Broken, broken)
It's all broke down
Everything I see is broken, broken
Everything's broken

CARMALITA-Warren Zevon

I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well, I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well, I pawned my Smith-Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer chicken stand
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin', that paddle wheel thumpin'
Black water keeps rollin' on past just the same
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me?
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me?
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me?
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything
Pretty mama, gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all
Well, if it rains, I don't care
Don't make no difference to me
Just take that streetcar that's goin' uptown
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland and dance a honky-tonk
And I'll be buyin' ev'rybody drinks all 'roun'
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me?
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me?
Old black water, keep on rollin'

Keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, everything

Queen Jane Approximately-Bob Dylan

When your mother sends back all your invitations
And your father, to your sister he explains
That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Now, when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you
And the smell of their roses does not remain
And all of your children start to resent you
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Now, when all the clowns that you have commissioned
Have died in battle or in vain
And you're sick of all this repetition
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Oh, when all of your advisers heave their plastic
At your feet, to convince you of your pain
Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Now, when all of the bandits that you turn your other cheek to
All lay down their bandanas and complain
And you want somebody you don't have to speak to
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Ah, won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

Mammas don't let your Babies grow up to be Cowboys

by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis
And each night begins a new day
If you don't understand him, and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do
Sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him
Do things to make you think he's right

Simple Twist Of Fate by Bob Dylan

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark
Tingle to his bones
'Twas then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
They walked alone by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel
With a neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night
Hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate
A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walking on by the arcade
As the light bust through a beat up shade
Where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup
Another blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate
He woke up, the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care
Pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside
To which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Where the sailors all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again
How long must he wait?
One more time for a simple twist of fate
People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin but I lost the ring
She was born in spring
But I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate

SEVENTEEN- SHARON VAN ETTEN 

I know what you wanna say
I think that you're all the same
Constantly being led astray
You think you know somethin' you don’t.       
Downtown hot spots
Halfway up the street
I used to be free
I used to be seventeen
Follow my shadow
Around your corner
I used to be seventeen
Now you're just like me
Down beneath the ashes and the stone
Sure of what I've lived and have known
I see you so uncomfortably alone
I wish I could show you how much you've grown
Downtown hot spots
I used to be on this street
I used to be  —    I used to be seventeen
Now you're half shy
Hanging on my block
Sun coming up
Who is my shadow?
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
I know what you're gonna be
I know that you're gonna be
You're crumbling up just to see
Afraid that you'll be just like me
Downtown hot spots
Halfway through this life
I used to feel free
Was it just a dream?
Now you're half shy
Think you're so carefree
But you're just seventeen
So much like me
You're just seventeen—  You’re just seventeen-  Seventeen

Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
Out of the blue and into the black
You pay for this, but they give you that
And once you're gone, you can't come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black.
The king is gone but he's not forgotten
Is this the tale of Johnny rotten?
It's better to burn out than fade away
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.

Me and Bobby McGee by Chris Kristofferson

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
And rode us all the way into New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no-no
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah, Bobby baby, kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
But feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
That feelin' good was good enough for me, mmm-hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
La-da-da, la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, Bobby McGee, yeah
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La, la-la-la-da-da- Bobby McGee, oh yeah
La-da-da, la-da-da, la, da-da, la, da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-di-da
Hey now, Bobby now, now Bobby McGee, yeah
Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, lo-da-da, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Hey now, Bobby now, now Bobby McGee, yeah
Well, I wanna call him my lover, call him my man
I said, I call him my lover, did the best I can, come on
Hey now, Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah
Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, oh
Hey-hey-hey, Bobby McGee, Lord

DIAMONDS. by Rihanna

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I, we're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive, we're like diamonds in the sky
I knew that we'd become one right away
Oh, right away
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright, tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Palms rise to the universe as we moonshine and molly
Feel the warmth, we'll never die, we're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive, we're like diamonds in the sky
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright, tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
So shine bright, tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shine bright like a diamond, oh-oh, yeah
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shine bright like a diamond (whoa)
Shine bright like a diamond

YOUR GOLD TEETH 2

Who are these children
Who scheme and run wild
Who speak with their wings
And the way that they smile
What are the secrets
They trace in the sky
And why do you tremble
Each time they ride by

Throw out your gold teeth
And see how they roll
The answer they reveal
Life is unreal

Who are these strangers
Who pass through the door
Who cover your action
And go you one more
If you're feeling lucky
You best not refuse
It's your game the rules
Are your own win or lose

Throw out your gold teeth
And see how they roll
The answer they reveal
Life is unreal

YOUR GOLD TEETH 2-Steely Dan cover lyric here

DO IT AGAIN by Steely Dan

In the mornin' you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
And you fire 'til he is done in but they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin' and they put you on the street
You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again
When you know she's no high climber then you find your only friend
In a room with your two-timer, and you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one and she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin' you'll be on your knees tomorrow, yeah
You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again
Now you swear and kick and beg us that you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money so you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey, you must put them on the table
You go back, Jack, do it again, wheels turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

Ja'Net DuBois and Jeff Barry co-wrote The Jeffersons theme song, "Movin' on Up", which was sung by DuBois with a gospel choir.

MOVING ON UP

Well we're movin' on up
To the east side
To a deluxe apartment in the sky
Movin' on up
To the east side
We finally got a piece of the pie
Fish don't fry in the kitchen
Beans don't burn on the grill
Took a whole lotta tryin'
Just to get up that hill
Now we're up in the big leagues
Gettin' our turn at bat
As long as we live, it's you and me baby
There ain't nothin' wrong with that
Well we're movin' on up
To the east side
To a deluxe apartment in the sky
Movin' on up
To the east side
We finally got a piece of the pie

VENTURA HIGHWAY BY America.

Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe?
Some people say this town don't look
Good in snow
You don't care, I know
Ventura highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger
Than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowing through
Your hair
And the days surround your daylight
There
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air
Wishin' on a falling star
Watchin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by
Purple rain
Aw, come on Joe, you can always
Change your name
Thanks a lot son, just the same
Ventura highway
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger
Than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through
Your hair
And the days surround you daylight
There
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air

Meralgia paresthetica lyrics by Artificial Intelligence

In a world of sensation, where nerves collide,
There's a condition, it's hard to hide,
Meralgia paresthetica, a name so long,
But we'll find the strength to carry on.

(Chorus)
Oh, Meralgia paresthetica, a path we tread,
Numbness and tingling, in our legs it spreads,
But we won't surrender, we'll rise above,
With hope in our hearts and the power of love.
(Verse 2)
A burning sensation, a constant pain,
Our legs feel heavy, like an iron chain,
But deep inside, we hold our dreams tight,
Through the darkest nights, we'll find the light.
(Chorus)
Oh, Meralgia paresthetica, a path we tread,
Numbness and tingling, in our legs it spreads,
But we won't surrender, we'll rise above,
With hope in our hearts and the power of love.
(Bridge)
In this journey we face, we won't walk alone,
Together we'll find strength we've never known,
Through treatments and therapies, we'll find relief,
A chorus of voices, finding solace and belief.
(Verse 3)
Though the road is long, and the struggle is real,
We'll find resilience, we won't let it steal,
Our spirit and determination, they won't wane,
In unity, we'll rise above the pain.
(Chorus)
Oh, Meralgia paresthetica, a path we tread,
Numbness and tingling, in our legs it spreads,
But we won't surrender, we'll rise above,
With hope in our hearts and the power of love.
(Outro)

I Love You
Song by Daniel Lanois

A man carried metal
Carried gold
More than he could handle
More than he could hold
It weighed him down
To a sand shallowed grave
Where his bones were eaten
By a heat wave
While here it rains all night
And it blows a sweet breeze
Think, I'll call you up
And say, "Please, baby, please"
I love you, I love you
Yeah, I love you
Yeah, I love you
Ah, the dream machine
Makes it hard to see
If I could stand outside myself
And watch it come to me
I'd make the dream
Filter down to my fingers
And rip at the fools head
And follow your scent that lingers
'Cause I love you
Yeah, I love you
I love you
Yeah, I love you
'Til the crash
And the booming of the white bomb
Come sure, come soon
Come leave just one song
One song, one beat
One dust, one end, one for all
One stone for the marking
For the dream when it falls
When I love you
When I love you
Yeah, I love you
Oh yeah, I love you
I love you

Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard? 
Song by Lana Del Rey

Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard?
Mosaic ceilings, painted tiles on the wall
I can't help but feel somewhat like my body marred my soul
Handmade beauty sealed up by two man-made walls
And I'm like
When's it gonna be my turn? 
When's it gonna be my turn?
Open me up, tell me you like it
Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
There's a girl who sings "Hotel California"
Not because she loves the notes or sounds that sound like Florida
It's because she's in a world preserved, only a few have found the door
It's like Camarillo, only silver mirrors running down the corridor
Oh, man
When's it gonna be my turn?
Don't forget me 
When's it gonna be my turn?
Open me up, tell me you like me
Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Harry Nilsson has a song, his voice breaks at 2:05
Something about the way he says, "Don't forget me"
Makes me feel like
I just wish I had a friend like him, someone to get me by
Leaning in my back, whispering in my ear, "Come on, baby, you can drive"
But I can't
When's it gonna be my turn?
Don't forget me
When's it gonna be my turn?
Open me up, tell me you like it
Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me
Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me
Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me
Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me, don't forget me
No, no, no, don't forget me
Don't you, don't you forget me (no, oh)

Deep elm blues by the Grateful Dead

If you go down to deep elm put your money in your shoes
The women in deep elem, they give you the deep Elem blues
Oh, sweet mama, your daddy's got them deep elem blues
Once I had a girlfriend, she meant the world to me
She went down to deep elem, now, she ain't what she used to be
Once I knew a preacher, preached the bible through and through
He went down to deep elem, now, his preaching days are through
When you go down to deep elem to have a little fun
Have your ten dollars ready when the policeman comes
When yo go down to deep elem put your money in your pants
'Cause the women in deep elem, they don't give a man a chance
Oh, sweet mama, your daddy's got them deep elem blues

WAIN PLAYS DEAD 

Deep elm Blues-GratefulDead cover

I'm through with standing in line to clubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth, and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)
I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king-size tub, big enough for ten plus me
(Uh, so what you need?)
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club at 37, 000 feet
(Been there, done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and changed my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses, driving 15 cars
The girls come easy, and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny, 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the V.I.P. with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair and, well
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hmm, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs, so I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla, haha!)
I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and changed my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses, driving 15 cars
The girls come easy, and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny, 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the V.I.P. with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary, and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
I'm gonna sing those songs that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills from a Pez dispenser
I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync 'em every night, so I don't get 'em wrong
Well, we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses, driving 15 cars
The girls come easy, and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny, 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the V.I.P. with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary, and today's who's who

SPAGHETTI HILLBILLIES - SUMMER OF BALLS

Can I?- Original instrumental

Okie from Muskogee-Merle Haggard

… We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
'Cause we like livin' right, and bein' free
… We don't make a party out of lovin'
But we like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do
… And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
… Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
And football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean
… And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
… And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA

SUMMER OF BALLS

UNDER GROUND RAINBOW-Rock Instrumental

Burning Man was tough this year.....lots of rain and plenty of MUD.

STUCK IN THE MUD BLUES-Blues Instrumental

This is the first song in a musical we wrote called “I WANT TO BE NOTICED”. It's the story about fame and discovery, and a girl named Jellybean Fisher who moves to San Francisco to find herself. She’s from New Orleans. Daughter of mixed race couple, she’s just off the boat when we meet her. People come to SF just to explore what life has to offer and that's what she's about to do…when the curtain comes up. 
We see a street scene where people are lining up in front of a Club in the South of Market in SF. Jellybean has come to the club to play in the open-mic night. She stands on the sidewalk in front of the club, holding her guitar and looking up at the name of the place, when a old homeless man comes up to her and asks for some spare change.
JB: “Maybe after the show I’ll have something for you. What’s your name?”
Woody: “Woody. And you?”
JB: “Jellybean. Jellybean Fisher. Woody, pleased to meet you.”
Woody: “Thanks.That’s a real nice name, Jellybean.You gonna play that thing in there?”
JB: “Sure am Woody. If you're still here when I get out, I’ll tell you about how it went. Wish me luck.”
Woody: “Sure 'nuff girl. You give 'em hell now!”
JB: “Thanks Woody, I’ll do my best.”
And with that she goes into the club to play her spot.
The walls of the outside of the club open, to show a stage with a house band and people in chairs around tables. 
An MC comes to the mic on the stage and says. “And now our next act tonight is a new talent just here from the Big Easy. Put your hands together for: Jellybean Fisher!” 
People clap as JB come up to the mic.
JB (nervously): "Thanks everyone. I’m gonna play a song I just wrote for tonight. It’s a kind of a first impression song.  I hope you like it.”
NOTE: Wain is singing all the parts: boy, girl, gay, straight, old, and young, so you’ll have to use your imagination. Hope you enjoy the story of Jellybean Fisher.


South of Market

I’m in the South Market and I'm fresh into town
I always loved the music and I always dug the sound
Of San Francisco California
Now I found myself in a place I didn’t know
And I was sure hoping I wouldn’t have to show
To much of myself 
In San Francisco California
CHORUS:
I’m in the South of Market
And I’m tired and a little bit lonely
Yes I’m in the South of Market
And I’m wishing I could be someone’s only
In the South of Market.

I left behind all the things that I knew
Looking for a place where the sky is always blue
In San Fransisco California (boy was I misinformed)
Then the first day I was here, I was out in a park for dogs
Was a big fat wall of cold dark fog
In San Francisco California
CHORUS
Now I came to town looking for one thing
I just wanted to find a song to sing
In San Fransisco California
I kinda like boys but I really like girls
And I’m trying to figure it out, has my head in a swirl 
In San Francisco California
CHORUS
JAM

1 - IN THE SOUTH OF MARKET (lyric And Info Here) The Musical -I WANT TO BE NOTICED

The last of the performers had hit the stage. Jellybean got third place in the end. It was a good night for her. And her first performance in SF. As she was leaving the club, a group of people that seemed to be all friends together came over to her to talk.

Bill: Hi Jellybean, my name’s Bill. Congrats! You rocked. Really. 

Everyone chimed in agreement. 

JB: Hey ya’ll. Nice to meet you Bill. Thanks man, really, thanks a lot.

Then they all started shaking her hand and introducing themselves.

There was Michael, who looked very young and effeminate - there was no butch in this boy. Probably had a fake ID to get in.
 
Then there was Barbara. She was the Femme, really pretty girl, probably did beauty contests growing up. 

And then there was Jake, Butch Dyke all the way, or maybe even she was a he now, no facial hair that you could see, but wow, Jellybean was instantly attracted to her. And it looked like Jake couldn't keep his eyes off of Jellybean either.

Jake: Yeah, Bill’s right, you rocked! And you looked pretty damn sexy up there too.
Everyone: Oooohhh, hoooooo!!! Jake likes Jellybean!
Jake : Looks like we all do, right? Jellybean, you should come to our performance class. Bill teaches it, it’s fun and you can show your chops and work on your sound. Come. Please.
JB: Cool, yeah that sounds fun, sure. When is it?
Jake: Tuesday night.
JB: I’m there.

As they leave the club, the stage returns to a street scene. As they file back out onto the sidewalk, they encounter Woody the homeless man again.

WOODY: Hey there Jellybean, how’d you do?

JB slips the money she just got for third place into his hand.
JB: Great Woody, thanks man. Got third place bro, not bad.

Then she leans over to say in his ear, whispering.

JB: Take the money and don’t say anything man.
WOODY: Sure sister, no worries, but thanks, you’re a gem Jellybean, really.
JB: Hey y’all, this is Woody. He was here when I got here tonight. He gave me good mojo tonight. That’s why I got third.
WOODY: I think you could of done it on your own, kiddo. I’ve been out here for 20 years now, and I know special when I see it. 
JB: You’ve been out here for 20 years Woody? That’s a long time. 
WOODY: Time? Let me tell you about time.

The Stage behind them in the club reappears. The band begins to play a song. Woody takes center stage and sings.

SPARE ME SOME CHANGE BROTHER

The future has already happened.
Tomorrow has been done and gone.
My face has melted and my hair is gray.
What are the words to this song?
I can’t remember most things that I’ve said
I think I’ve lost half the things in my head
I can remember myself as a young man
And how the years fall through your hands
Like grains of sand.

And the thing that makes me sad
Is all the time I thought I had
And now all that time is gone
And all I’m left with, is this old song
About how old I am
And how decrepit I’ve become
I’m so surprised I can still get it up and 
Ask for some 
Change brother
Give me some change brother……

I’ve been here so long, people don’t remember when I wasn’t.
I’ve been singing this song…
For a dollar or two for you…cousin 
So I’ll just keep singing this song
‘Cause it’s the only one I know
And most of you will pass me by
‘Cause you would never stoop so low….

And the thing that makes me sad
Is all the time I thought I had.
And now all that time has gone
And all I’m left with, is this old song
About how old I am
And how decrepit I’ve become
I’m very surprised I can still get up and 
Ask for some 
Change brother
Give me some strange brother…… 
Give me some change..

Well you know it ain’t gonna make no difference to you
For you to reach down into your pocket
And give me a buck or two
Just to see you look in my eyes and treat me like yourself
To see me as yourself 
But for the grace of all things Heaven and Earth

 
And the thing that makes me sad
Is all the time I thought I had
And now all that time has gone
And all I’m left with, is this old song
And the thing that makes me sad
Is all the time I thought I had
And now all that time is gone
And all I’m left with, is this old song
And the thing that makes me sad
Is all the time I thought I had
And now all that time has gone
And all I’m left with, is this old song

About how old I am
And how decrepit I’ve become
I’m so surprised I can still get up and 
Ask for some 
Change brother
Give me some change brother……
Can you spare me some change brother?..ohhhhhhhh

Oh can you spare me some change brother?….
Spare me some change brother….
Spare me some change ……..….

PART THREE
As Woody steps off the stage, the walls of the club close back in around him and he’s back out on the street. Then you see everybody waving goodbye  and leaving the stage….curtain comes down as the street sounds slowly go silent ….as the curtain goes up again you see a small stage right in the center, with folding chairs in front of it. All the people from the night before are about to watch Barbara the femme do her thing…singing. Bill’s on the stage introducing her.

Bill: And here she is our own resident Beauty queen, Barbara, singing a song she wrote herself. I WANT TO NOTICED.Who knew?

 Everyone claps  as she comes to the stage….as she gets to the middle of the song everyone gets up and moves the chairs aside and dances around her as she wonders the stage.

This is her song….

I WANT TO NOTICED

I want to be noticed
I want to be noticed
I want people to see who i am.
I want to be noticed
I want to be noticed
I want people to give me a damn.
I want to be up on that stage
No matter what my age.
I want to be noticed.
I want to be noticed.
Just like a STAR
Just like a STAR
I’ve been beauty pageants longer than……
I can remember
And in every baby Sash-QUEEN Club..
I was a member.
My mom and I traveled first class everywhere 
And I always got my own room so I didn't have to share
She was very controlling and that really mint something…
I grew up in a world expecting to be famous
And I don’t really care if you think that the lamest
 Thats the lamest
Well Ive walked a hundred stages with my tiaras and my tears… 
And I’ve got trophies and sashes and still still I’ve got some fears..
But I want to be noticed
I want to be noticed
I want people to see who I am
I want to be noticed
I want to be noticed
I want people to give me a damn
I want people to give me a damn
So forgive me if I seem a little lame 
Or my ego just seems to be a pain
I just want to be noticed
 I just want to be noticed
I want to be noticed
Cuz quite frankly..I don’t care..really..I’m gonna do what ever it takes..
I’m gonna do what ever it takes…
I’m gonna do what ever it takes…
To get me there
To get me there
To get me there
I want to be noticed
I want to be noticed
I want to be noticed
I want to be noticed
I want people to see who i am.
I want people to give me a damn to see who I am
I want to be noticed
I want to be noticed
I want to be noticed
I want to be noticed
I want people to give me a damn.
I want to be up on that stage
No matter what my age.
I want to be noticed.
Just like a STAR
I want to be noticed.
Just like a STAR
I want to be noticed.
Just like a STAR

GAY CELEBRITY

Well I don’t know if there’s room for me, don’t know if there’s room for me in this world, in this  world.
I’m not particularly handsome and I’m not a pretty girl.
I’m just some gay boy who wants to sing.
Just my truth and me is what I bring. And if that works for you well then I’ll sing.
I’ve always seen myself a star, I’ve always seen my name up in lights.
Besides being poor, you know it just really bits.
I don’t know if there’s room for me
I don’t know if there’s room for me
I don’t know if there’s room for me in this world
I grew up wanting to be Elvis, I wanted to be just like Elvis.
The way he rocked and the way he rolled his pelvis.
He was a ladies man, he was a mans man.
But then he died alone sitting on the can.
Yeah he died alone sitting on the can.
Well I just want to be a gay celebrity
Yeah you have heard me, that’s right,that’s me I want to be gay celebrity.
Like Ellen Degeneres

Or Genghis Khan…I heard he was gay..yeah

I just want to be a gay celebrity
I just want to be a gay celebrity…..
Like Ellen Degeneres

4-GAY CELEBRITY (lyric and info here)The Musical-I WANT TO BE NOTICED

As Michael finishes his song, everyone claps and Bill comes back up to the mic.

Bill: Thank you Michael. That was great. I hope your dream comes true. Now it’s time for Jake to come to the stage and show us your stuff! Please give her hand.

As Jake comes up to the mic, everyone claps.

JAKE: Thanks everyone, I’m so glad to be here a have this time to sing for you. I’m gunna sing a song I wrote about myself. Being gay and a women has it’s own special kind of names people want use when labeling you. Most gay women I know don’t mind being called a lesbian, but I’ve always had a problem with it. I guess it’s because when I came out, my brother used the word in all the most nasty ways he could. You see I came out when I was 13 and High school wasn’t a lot of fun for me. So the word lesbian wasn’t ever what I wanted to be called. Then when I moved to SF, I started to hear queer women calling themselves dyke. Bang, that was it for me. I’m a dyke, not a lesbian. Now I know that doesn’t work for some and it can be used in ways that aren’t cool, but it works for me. so here’s my song and I hope you like it.

I’M A DYKE

I’m a dyke, not a lesbian.
I’m a dyke, and a butch one at that..
Yeah baby I’m a dyke.
You can call yourself anything you want.
But I’m a dyke, not a lesbian.
Yeah,I’m a dyke, and a butch one at that.
I don’t understand why people have to trip on that.
Why I never wear a dress and I always wear a hat.
I don’t understand why people always gotta trip on that.
 I’m a dyke, not a lesbian.
I’m a dyke, and a butch one at that..
Yeah baby I’m a dyke.
You can call yourself anything you want.
But I’m a dyke, not a lesbian.
Yeah,I’m a dyke, and a butch one at that.
I don’t really care when people call me that.
Its what I what I want, its where I’m at.
I don’t get why people got to trip on that.
I’m a dyke, not a lesbian.
I’m a dyke, and a butch one at that..
Yeah baby I’m a dyke.
You can call yourself anything you want.
But I’m a dyke, not a lesbian.
Yeah,I’m a dyke, and a butch one at that.
You gotta understand where I’m coming form
I’m just marching to a beat of a different drum.
I don’t understand why people have to trip on that.
I’m a dyke, not a lesbian.
I’m a dyke, and a butch one at that..
Yeah baby I’m a dyke.
You can call yourself anything you want.
But I’m a dyke, not a lesbian.
Well I chase all the girls that all the boys want.
Well I chase all the girls that all the boys want to fuck.
But they end with me, isn’t that just some kind of luck.
Cause….
I’m a dyke, not a lesbian.
I’m a dyke, and a butch one at that..
Yeah baby I’m a dyke.
You can call yourself anything you want.
But I’m a dyke, not a lesbian.
Yeah,I’m a dyke, and a butch one at that.

Psychedelic Cilantro

In the fall of 1970 on thanksgiving day, a friend of mine came over after dinner and brought along with him a tab of LSD for me to try. I was fourteen at the time and many kids I knew were trying it. Little did I know at the time, but that tab of acid was 400 micro-grams and way more than a skinny little kid like me could handle….That was a Thanksgiving night I’ll always remember…In many ways, it made me who I am today. A kind of turning point into manhood in many ways…and for what it’s worth, I not saying that this should happen to everyone, but after 45 years, I’m sure glad it happened to me. This song is an attempt at describing that night…

RIDING WITH THE DINOSAURS 

I SAW SNAKES IN THE GRASS AND PINK ELEPHANTS ON THE ROAD
I SAW THE STARS MELT RIGHT OUT OF THE SKY
THEN JIMMI HENDRIX TOOK ME INTO HIS ARMS
INTO A WORM HOLE OF COLOR AND LIGHT
OF COLOR AND LIGHT

 chorus:
THEY TOOK ME INTO AN EMERGENCY 
I TOLD THEM IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD
I TOLD THEM I SAW GOD , CAN’T YOU SEE
ALL THE WORLDS PEOPLE WERE CRAWLING ALL OVER ME
THERE CRAWLING ALL OVER ME

 RIGHT INTO THE LAP OF GOD AND A VOICE IN HIS EAR
CAME DEFINING SILENCE OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD
DID HE EVEN KNOW I WAS HERE?
DID HE EVEN CARE?
WAS I JUST WASTING MY TIME
 HANGING IN THE AIR?

chorus
THEY TOOK ME IN A CAR TO THE EMERGENCY
I TOLD THEM IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD
I TOLD THEM I SAW GOD , CAN’T YOU SEE
ALL THE WORLDS PEOPLE WERE CRAWLING ALL OVER ME
ON THE WAY THERE, i SAW DINOSAURS
RUNNING ALONG RIGHT BESIDE US
THEY WERE ONLY THERE TO SEE IF I WAS GONNA BE….. OK
THAT I WAS OK

I COULD TELL HOW GOD FELT BY LAYING ON HIS SKIN
AND I SLID DOWN HIS BODY LIKE A CHILD ON A SLIDE
BUT HE STILL SEEMED ASLEEP AND TOTALLY UNAWARE

chorus
THEY TOOK ME IN A CAR TO THE EMERGENCY
I TOLD THEM IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD
I SAW GOD , CAN’T YOU SEE
AND ALL THE WORLDS PEOPLE WERE CRAWLING ALL OVER ME
I SAW DINOSAURS
THEY WERE JUST THERE TO MAKE SURE I WAS OK…
TO SEE IF I WAS OK…

EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD WAS JUST PASSING THROUGH MY SOUL
I FELT I KNEW WHAT JESUS FELT  LIKE WHEN THEY NAILED HIM TO THE CROSS
THE SUFFERING OF ALL HUMANITY AND THE EPIC LOSS.

chorus
THEY TOOK ME IN A CAR TO THE EMERGENCY
I TOLD THEM IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD
I TOLD THEM I SAW GOD , CAN’T YOU SEE
ALL THE WORLDS PEOPLE WERE CRAWLING ALL OVER ME
ON THE RIDE THERE, i SAW DINOSAURS
RUNNING ALONG RIGHT BESIDE US
THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT ME
THEY WERE JUST THERE TO MAKE SURE I WAS OK
I WAS OK……..AHHH

RIDING WITH THE DINOSAURS-lyric and info here

Posting this again after taking it down last year. This song has no copyright so enjoy......
"God's Gonna Cut You Down"

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

"God's Gonna Cut You Down", also known as "Run On" and "Run On for a Long Time", is a traditional folk song which has been recorded by numerous artists representing a variety of genres. The lyrics are a warning to sinners that no matter how hard they try, they will not avoid God's judgment; in the chorus, God tells the narrator of the song to
“ 	Go tell that long tongue liar,

go and tell that midnight rider,
tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,
tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
	”

The song has, over time, been modified to fit the boundaries of diverse genres like country, folk, gospel and techno. As "God's Gonna Cut You Down", it was performed by Odetta on Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues (1956) and Johnny Cash on the posthumously released American V: A Hundred Highways (2006). As "Run On", it was recorded, among others, by Elvis Presley. A version incorporating sampled vocals by Bill Landford & The Landfordairs was included on Moby's album Play. The song has also been covered by many other artists.

GODS GONNA CUT YOU DOWN-lyric and info here

This was the hottest year on record. The world is getting hot. And we all have a factor in that. Here’s a tune I pinned about Global Warming and just by each of us being here making it worse. It’s a little dark for sure, but we have got to figure out something….we can’t burn this fire forever.

BURNING THE ENDLESS FIRE

I can’t seem to stop myself.
I never seem to tire. 
Being a human being.
I’m Burning the endless fire.

In everything I do.
And everything in my life.
I burn a little more.
I’m living on the edge of a knife.
Now everybody got burn this fire.
Everybody got put something in.

Now mama’s got a lot of mouths to feed.
So put a couple more logs on the fire.
She’s gonna need the heat.

In everything she does.
And everything in her life.
She burns a little more.
Cause she’s living on the edge of a knife.
Now everybody got burn this fire.
Even she’s gotta put something in.

Burning the endless fire.
Burning the endless fire.
In everything we do.
You gotta keep it burning.

In everything we do.
And everything in our lives.
We burn a little more.
We’re living on the edge of a knife.
Everybody’s gotta put something in.
Put another log on the fire.

In everything we do.
And everything in our lives.
We burn a little more.
We’re living on the edge of a knife.
Now everybody’s gotta burn this fire.
Everybody’s got to put something in……
