~ lyrics ~

the kids are all playing doctor
and their parents are playing house
in linoleum-covered kitchens
seems quiet when you look around

the fluorescent operating theatre’s
the same table where the chicken is served
and the gravy is a balm to get better wait
the patient said we hit a nerve

there’s a dog in every window
and a cat on every fence
and a painting in every parlor
in every airport a nuclear warhead

it’s where Doctor Jekyll cured his cancer
diabetes sickle cell
depression anxiety answers
o that neighbor Grim Reaper's doing well

~

o i am not gonna run anymore
and i will stop this bleeding before it gets too late

o i am not gonna run anymore
and i will stop this bleeding before it gets too late

drawn, written, recorded, and produced by me, mostly in February 2021, Madison, Wisconsin.

thanks to Thich Nhat Hanh, whose words in the book "Being Peace" inspired lyrics in tracks one and five. thanks also to my IBM thinkpad for not taking-off, even though it sounds more and more like a spaceship these days.

special thanks to Kay, Michel, Anna and to Everyone for your love and support!!! : )

not gonna run (shorter version)
