Heartbeat

I need to feel your heartbeat. So close, it feels like mine. All mine. . I remember the feeling. My hands in your hair. I remember the feeling. Of the rhythm we made.

Gunman

Gunman, my sort of star, we put you there. You're all of us now, you're all over town. On wrappers and cans, you're bigger than life. You're braver than dad.

Girl With Clouds

She makes. Me wait. She turns away. She pretends she doesn't hear a word I say. . She's a girl with clouds in her head. . Her room,. The sky. She shuts her eyes.

Futurevision

Color futurevision. . Red...for the angry young skinhead. With a gun stuck down his pants. And his hands wrapped around a gasoline can. Blue...for the cruel nude tattoo.

Frame By Frame

Frame by frame (suddenly). death by drowning (from within). in your own analysis. . Step by step (suddenly). doubt by numbers (from within). in your own analysis.

Fly

I know I should feel welcome here. Way up in the atmosphere. But I am afraid. And if I land on earth again. I'll be happy just to cut my face. While I shave.

Figure It Out

(belew/fetters/nyswonger). . You don't retain your calm. Either you're an anvil. Or sell me your aunt. And your car is almost gone. Figure it out. . My bag's against the wall.

Everything

One big mistake some people make is when they take for granted. Love will always stay the same. Because eventually love needs attention or it has a tendency.

Elephant Talk

Talk, it's only talk. Arguments, agreements, advice. Answers, articulate announcements. It's only talk. . Talk, it's only talk. Babble, burble, banter.

Dream Life

Can you see me as your heart sees. Not apart from you, but a part of you?. And remember me as the man I am. Not the things I do or faults I have. . And when you lie asleep at night.

Dinosaur

Long ago and far away in a different age. When I was a dumb young guy. Fossilized photos of my life then. Illustrate what an easy prey I must have been.

Dig Me

It's here I sit amid this ruin and rancor. Like tire irons, toothy grills, and car parts before me. The acid rain floods my floorboards,. Burns my pores, and rots my upholstery.

Complicated Potatoes

A fat man like me. Can never bother with tea or brie. I must go right to the main source. And wolf it down like a rhinoceros. But a woman like her. Can tease me with a warm hors d'ouevre.

Coconuts

(belew/hertzman). . Hello honey, how is every little thing?. Sure I'll be glad to meet you at the beach at ten. I wanna be your brown-eyed handsome man.

Burned By The Fire We Make

And when Man gained dominion. over land and the oceans. he began to harm the planet. with his asphalt and his toxins. and to lay the forest bare. and to poison even the air.

Ballet For A Blue Whale

Word Attack

Within These Walls

Within these walls. Within these walls is pain and strife. Within these walls it's yours tonight. Within these walls you'll sacrifice. Within these walls.

Where The Children Play

Drive-by suicide bombers all over. In our front yards and in our bedrooms. Biochemical warfare, anthrax and smallpox. Stuff it all back in the toy box.

Welcome To Reality

Blood so deep, the horse must hold his head up high. In the valley of decision third, the world will die. Beat your hoes and plows into axes and spears.
