SUNBURN IN THE DARK
To whom it may concern
I lit myself – watch me burn
You say I never learn
You may be right, that’s my pattern
True, I’m waiting my turn
here in the dark, getting sunburned
To whom it may concern
I lit myself – watch me burn
You say I never learn
You may be right, that’s my pattern
I’m through waiting my turn
here in the dark, getting sunburned
I must be lost coz I’m gone
if you find me, tell someone
I’m here in the dark, getting sunburned
I’m here in the dark, getting sunburned
I’m here in the dark, getting sunburned

Why Must It Take So Long

Why Must It Take So Long
We tear each other up, til we’re open wide
Take a look around and find ourselves inside
We’re all flying headlong
Dunno our right from our wrong
Why must it take so long?
Why must it take so long?
Which way is up and which way down
Grab our collar, holler, and shake us around
til we all sing the same song
all of our vowels one diphthong
Why must it take so long?
Why must it take so long?
Gonna walk right through those flaming swords
where we once stood, take with us words –
So sorry, please accept what’s good,
and fall like dew through the neighborhood
Why must it take so long?
Why must it take so long?
Everybody in the street thinks they’re sweet,
Their philosophy glam,
but the sauce is weak, it’s a sham
Cos we’re calling for the blood of another
while the tears flow down
from our own blood brother! Look around, say:
Oh how how I wish You would
fall like dew through the neighborhood
Why must it take so long?
Why must it take so long?

Beautiful Thing

BEAUTIFUL THING
When the dark thoughts fall over me
Until I can’t see
Through their canopy
In a gray cloud’s cacophony
Is a reveille
Sent to wakey wakey
We get another day
Come what may
And what the day may bring
Is a beautiful thing
We get another day and
what the day may bring
Come what may
It’s a beautiful thing
When the sad signs seen everywhere
laden you with care
And you’re unprepared
When the wrong roads run old n worn
Wont you please discern
Where to turn turn
We get another day
Come what may
And what the day may bring
Is a beautiful thing
We get another day and
what the day may bring
Come what may
It’s a beautiful thing

FEAR
Fear won’t let me sleep
I am shallow
And in too deep
In too deep
Fear, when I awaken,
I think it’s gone
I am mistaken
I am mistaken
Fear and noise and lies
Stream constantly
In my ears and eyes
Ears and eyes
גַּם כִּי-אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת, לֹא-אִירָא רָע כִּי-אַתָּה עִמָּדִי
כִּי-אַתָּה עִמָּדִי
The whole world is a very narrow bridge
The main thing is to have no fear at all

Spinning in Circles
Eats one piece of toast before work in the morning,
says, "It's just habit, there's no deeper meaning."
Some things she thinks she never will get.
Off and on through the day, she feels like she's floating.
It comes and it goes. It's nothing worth noting.
Some things she thinks she never will get.
The earth is revolving around its own center.
We're spinning in circles.
We're floating on nothing.
And here we go again,
Here we go again.
She fumbles the compact she's been applying.
It shatters, and she still looks like she's been crying.
Some things she thinks she never will get.
The earth is revolving around its own center.
We're spinning in circles.
We're floating on nothing.
And here we go again,
Here we go.
I lie upside down in my bed when I'm sleeping.
That's how I know whether I'm only just dreaming.
Some things I don't think I ever will get.
The earth is revolving around its own center.
We're spinning in circles.
We're floating on nothing.
And here we go again,
Here we go again.
The earth is revolving around its own center.
We're spinning in circles.
We're floating on nothing.
And here we go again,
Here we go.

TOAD'S WILD RIDE
Run for your life I’m
coming round the bend
won’t say I’m sorry
coz I’ll only doot again
Once again lay my head on my pillow
once again, take my hand, gon' below
motor car thru the wind in the willows
it's one wild ride
All you prison warders
dreamin thru the night
I’m off with the gaoler’s daughter
come first light
Once again lay my head on my pillow
once again, take my hand, gon' below
motor car in the Thames with the minnows
it’s a wild, wild ride
I’ve the gift of conversation
whatever that may be
Mole Badger, Rat, and I live
ever after happily

I Set a Fire

I SET A FIRE
I set a fire.
Where I set my sight,
I burned to hold and set alight.
I let it burn for one alone
who burned for me with equal light.
If that's not love, what is?
We burn most every other night
and use each other's hearts for fuel.
When our burned hearts ache to heal,
a darkness makes our fires cool.
Fires made like ours of light,
no dark can blow such fires out.
If that's not love, what is?
If that's not love.
I set a fire where I set my sight.
If that's not love, what is?
I let it burn for one alone, who burned for me with equal light.
If that's not love
Fires made like ours of light
If that's not love, what is?
no dark can blow such fires out.
If that's not love
