You start tripping. And I start slipping away. I was taught to zip it. If I got nothing nice to say. . And down in the Texas of my heart. Driving a really big truck.
In walked a man in the shape of a man. Holding a hat-shaped hat. He held up two fingers and said 'how many fingers? ". And I said 'peace man, that's where it's at".
it's a heartbreak even situation. nothing lost and nothing gained. so i'm 10 years old again. standing in the backyard waving at a train. . i feel you make love to me slightly.
Life is a be movie. It's stupid and it's strange. A directionless story. And the dialogue is lame. But in the he said she said. Sometimes there's some poetry.
Hold me down. I am floating away. Into the overcast skies. Over my home town. On election day. . What is it about Birmingham?. What is it about Buffalo?.
I bet you're wondering. If you woke up today. Just to learn why the caged bird sings. I bet you're wondering if the goddesses are all crazy. Or just keeping it interesting.
Me and all the kids from the neighborhood. We'd play out in the street all summer long.. Rule was we had to go home at night,. When the street lights came on..
hour follows hour. like water follows water. everything is governed by the rule. of one thing leads to another. you can't really place blame. 'cause blame is much too messy.
You could always hear the rub squeaking. Of those two tree limbs. 'Til one day one of them came down. Taken down by the wind. But on the one that's still there.
Rain falling around me. Lookin' down at a worm. With a long way to go. And the traffic was hissing by. And I was homesick. And I was high. . I was surrounded by a language.
