the one
i can still picture
you in just a towel
talking to me as
i sat on the edge
of the bed
you just casually
let that towel fall
to the floor
if i was a smart man
i would have asked
you to marry me
right there
all these years later
i know you wouldn't
have said yes
you didn't believe
in settling until you
found the one
sadly, i have never
been anyone's
one

cries for help in early august
i've been
battling
my demons
since the day
i was born
not all wars
are meant to
last forever
--------------------------------------------------------------
taste the ecstasy
the puerto
rican women
are starting
to invade
my dreams
i can still
taste the
ecstasy when
i wake up in
the morning
i suppose i
should buy
another bottle
of rum
hoping that
she invites
a friend in
need
-------------------------------------------------------------------
locked and loaded
a tribe of deviants
not interested in
ruling the world
more to just enjoy
a little fruit while
escaping death
each day
locked and loaded
not sure if the
eclipse would
actually be
a mushroom
cloud
place the tab on the
tip of your tongue
and simply relax
try not to think about
being molested as a
child or the first love
of your life running
away with another
woman
try to remember
the time you got
a blow job in an
alley from a stripper
with a heart of gold
or the dreams of
being the smart
criminal that got
you through high
school
----------------------------------------------------------------
up a creek without a damn paddle
i see your
eyes in my
dreams
quietly
haunting
me as i
try to make
it back to
you
against
all odds
up a creek
without a
damn paddle
i'll make
it back to
you one
day
all i ask
please
pretend
you still
care at
first
wait to
break
my heart
after i've
had a chance
to rest
-----------------------------------------------------------------
cliffs of dover
here comes the
guitar hero and
all the groupies
that believe in
nostalgia
i remember i
was going to
be one of those
guys when i
was a teenager
reality struck
because fat kids
don't get to have
those fantasies
you can be a
roadie or the
producer stuck
in the fucking
studio
but any shit on
stage is for the
beautiful people
i was going to
be the smart ass
that brought up
the 1970's but i
simply walked
away
not all the talent
was squeezed out
of the tube yet
