Lord, let me be
Help me see the man in me
Keep my wife
Keep my child in your company
Please, take your time
Make it rain
Let it shine
Let it come
Let it go with all creation
Oh, Lord
I am helpless
I am beaten
I am tired
And Lord
I am speechless
But I pray to you in quiet
Oh, Lord
I ain't perfect
But I know my heart is good
And Lord
I am wordless
But I know I'm understood

Gonna buy myself a lucky mirror today
Got my fingers crossed
On a pocketful of change
Gonna ride downtown
Wait up for the man in boots
Gonna hang myself
Up on a dream or two
Speed on through the afternoon
Going to the teller
Gonna get my fortune weighed
Gonna write my folks a letter
Tell 'em Jesus called my name
Gonna find myself a pretty garden
In the sun
Gonna lay right down
Turn a page or two
Let the insects have their fun
Have their fun
Have some fun
Have their fun
Fun

What a golden day
To waste away
Trying to feed my mouth
Some words to say
But every time
I move my lips
I only hear some
Stranger’s voice
I try to sound out something straight
But all I ever hear is noise
There’s only nothing in between us
It’s vast enough
To blank you out
There’s nothing that’ll come between us
But checking out
Such a splendid time
To waste inside
Trying to paste some thoughts
Inside my mind
Jesus’ creatures
Crowd my picture frame
In galavanting hordes
I try to please them
But i swear they’ll only
Nail me to the floor
There ain’t no heaven down beneath us
There ain’t no hell sweeter than now
It’s getting harder hard-believin’
Just checking out

Servitude Blues

It's beating every morning
It's a beat down breaking day
And all creations' glory
Just sucks my air away
And visions, yeah, I see them
And I feel their eyes on me
Some voices call you crazy
When the animals reign free
Some skin is made for changing
My kind will do just fine
When judgment day comes raining
Be no stutter on my line
And all your being
With its beauty and it's crimes
All alone dreaming
Getting wise on wasting
Time
I'm spitting human nature
Conditions so divine
And when creation's shaking
Will you cash in for the ride?
But ghosts aren't always holy
When I feel their hands in mine
Whose blood will you be drinking
When yr. sipping on the vine?
Some fools are born for praising
My fool's the loving kind
No book bound for explaining
All the visions in my mind
One hundred million sunbeams
Burn inside of you
Such precious flowers
Will be rescued from this view
I'm born for being
With my glory and my trial
I'll do my serving
In a serviceable
Time

Isadoria

And she dreams
In mercurial slang
Trying to speed
Her light ray through
The aperture
Rides a page
In bullet trains
Isadoria
Of the Isle
What’s left of the child
What lies for the heroine
Asleep in the well?
And she dreams
Of bitter things like dying
She believes
In better things than dying
All the stones
Bound to her feet
Would not capture her
And the well
All black with ink weeps for
Isadoria
In the beams
She burns crystalline
The heat of her vision
Covering me

Sunday to Monday

Sunday to Monday
Sleep on the phone
Midnight’s a gas
Light a fire for the cold
Pillows feel nice
But the candlelight's glib
Lets monologue
How to be saved again
Monday to Tuesday
And back round again
Safety’s a prison
A lock and a pen
Writing feels right
But to no one seems droll
I'll tell you all about it
If you return my calls
Wednesday to Friday
I’m skipping again
The record seems broken
But it’s nobody’s win
Dangers are quiet
And much stranger and quaint
At the end of all time
When you’re no one to save

Everything’s the rage
In the modern age
Everyone gets born
A star
Every dream is real
Anyone can feel
Painless and sublime
And right
But if you want to die
You can try and try
But there is no end
To the modern life
All the animals
Copulate in droves
There’s no hungry mouths
To feed
There’s no poverty
All the money’s free
And the fortune never
Spends dry
But if you want a ride
To the other side
You’ll just wait and wait
In this modern
6 - 7 - All good children go to Heaven
You may as well
Join the party now
There’s no room to escape it
Anyhow
Make some friends
Come in, settle down
Have a drink
Life is good and swell
Life’s a gas, life goes on and on
Oh, well
No more loneliness
Heartbreak or regret
Everyone has love
To waste away
