Meow Power
everyday, it’s not for
shadows that she wrote
when in life was I
a man that someone loved?
anyway, all these
smiles and lies to know
you can choose before
the night is through
summer days, summer nights
become the fall
you fall all the way
a billion farmers can’t be wrong
all the way,
a women’s mind is like a man’s
don’t we know by now
her body’s worth is more
so they say
that gold will come from the ground
say, what its worth
is where you will return
tell the boys
don’t forget to tell maureen
that when I’ve got it all
I will know to raise a wolf
a billion farmers can’t be wrong
and I know
with a car and many homes
I would still be naked then
that doesn’t mean I’m free
and to dreams
I have dreams enough for you
and dreams to last
forever and a day
you’re not alone
all your friends will be there too
but not for me
I’ve not a thing to wear
a billion farmers can’t be wrong
Nobody’s Perfect
You used to say you’d be my bride;
I used to think you’d change my life.
When you see me smile again;
Remember when I was your friend.
Nobody’s perfect except for Jesus Christ
Life was set I had it made;
I’d quit my job and start again.
When we went to buy a house;
I found the debt you lied about.
Nobody’s perfect except for Jesus Christ
You just need to get a job;
Get some help and take your medicine.
Instead you cheat and pound your chest;
I feed the girls in curls you left.
Nobody’s perfect except for Jesus Christ.
Oh why? Oh why?
Oh why? Oh why?
Nobody’s perfect except for Jesus Christ.
Stay Here With Me
Summer, I know, is pushing the roses;
When cut from the earth
They’re not meant to last.
I am a sign, I am a road.
You must be seeing to know where I go.
Stay here with me, please;
Stay here with me.
I am suspicious that nobody hears
No matter how hard I pray –
It’s not what I need.
You are my garden, you are my heart.
What can I tell you
Now that you know?
Stay here with me, please;
Stay here with me.
Here we are one,
Here we are one.
You’re kind. That mind!
You say things, your feelings.
I’ve been here some time –
Just wishing someone needs me.
Stay here with me, please;
Stay here with me.
Here we are one,
Here we are one.
Here we are one…
Here we are one.
Cosmic Stream
Your looks sends falling to the stairs
I don’t get the very first part
Learn me with all regret around
Hold on, do the best you can
The thing they lock up at the store
It helps to keep you feeling down
The thing they lock up at the store
It helps to keep you feeling down
You know the world has animals
They’re cute not like all of us
Just ’cause you can close the door
Doesn’t mean the thing is gone
The good could come
If we could talk it out
The good, good for everyone
If we could talk it out
Go tell mom to sell the farm
He’s the one who turned you on
He’s got stuff and he’s got style
And he has got what rhymes with style
You just wanted to believe in fire
C-Town Blues
(blues in G#)
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
Porter says I shouldn’t
But there ain’t no stopping me
I kapo up a fret
I kapo up a fret
Sharks upon my neck
I kapo up a fret
Porter says I shouldn’t
But there ain’t no stopping me
He, fraternal twin
He, fraternal twin
A commie from Ohio
He, fraternal twin
He’s a holy roller
Like a bird on roller skates
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
Porter says I shouldn’t
But there ain’t no stopping me
Porter has a cult
Porter has a cult
Commie from Ohio
Porter has a cult
He’s a holy roller
Like a bird on roller skates
You kicked me in the face
Kicked me in the face
Kicked me in the rain
When you kicked me in the face
Did you tell you Grandpa
You kicked me in the face?
I can’t find my phone
I can’t find my phone
My toilet’s overflowing
I can’t find my phone
Did you tell your Grandma
You kicked me in the face?
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
Porter says I shouldn’t
But there ain’t no stopping me
Love Island
The desert, what desert?
The desert can’t hold my pain.
This desert, what desert?
The desert can’t hold my pain.
I am an island, I am an island
I am an island in my pain.
I am an island, I am an island
I am an island in my pain.
Love, love, love, love
Love is an island –
Everyone has a place.
Love, love, love, love
Love is an island –
Everyone has a place.
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Everyone has a place.
One Million Kisses
Roughed up like a mesa, a bone from my spine.
By now I am a man it’s happened a million times.
You should think before you go
And learn to say the words.
Rubbed down like a mesa, a flower from my spine.
By now I am a man it’s happened a million times.
You should think before you go
And learn to say the words.
All I had to give to you is all you left behind.
You made it just one step in the longest line.
You should ask before you go
And learn to say the words.
All I had to give you is all you left behind.
Red road leads to Paradise –
Not gonna get there but that’s life.
Get my dog go straight to hell –
Go get my dog not going there. Oh well.
One million kisses – that’s the way it ends.
Ten by ten and five by five. Would take a life.
Would take a flight.
Would take its life.
Would take a wife. Silent type.
Chipped paint on a millennial toad, easy baritone now hitting the road.
Nothing going down in the town – a dollar off gave someone Tao.
A magic card in my hand, got extra rocks got extra sand.
You think it’s him you think it’s me – it isn’t him it couldn’t be!
It isn’t you it isn’t me. I guess some birds just like the sea.
I guess some birds just like the sea. Oh well.
Remembering
Remembering.
Remembering.
Why you look so sad girl?
You’ve got a Chad girl.
I ain’t got nobody.
Why’d I have to see?
Along to the song I wrote for love…
Along to the song I wrote for you.
Along to the song I wrote for love…
Sing along to this song.
A man buries sorrow
In his heart for what he loves.
He hopes that it flowers –
That it grows into peace.
Sing along to the song I wrote for love…
Sing along to the song I wrote for you.
Sing along to the song I wrote for love…
Sing along to the song.
A man buries sorrow
In his heart for what he loves.
He hopes that it flowers –
That it grows into peace.
Sing along to the song I wrote for love…
Sing along to the song I wrote for you.

I don’t feel justified,
I don’t feel right.
I did what I had to
To survive.
A.C.O.D.
Travelers in time get a check,
They go town to town following Flesh;
Funny thing is they’re not ever there.
Not like the man who goes to work,
He doesn’t have that many days off.
I know a guy, goes to the Met;
Goes to the park, fishing days off;
The new Avant-Garde,
It isn’t Avant-Garde at all
We live in a house like the rest;
Our place has four walls closing in.
We try to forget what we learned
Is it right or is it wrong
When we read that funny guy Karl?
Cellular life, creepier thoughts;
Look in the sky, it’s getting thin.
The new science kids,
I don’t think they really get off.
They say you can be whatever you want;
Sounds great to me, I want to make art.
The places for me are run by the state.
I only want to find a way out,
I gave it all up for somebody’s cause
ACOD volatile me;
had to grow up when I was three.
I want to be loved, I don’t believe
A drug can do that.
I met you blind,
I met you blind when I met you stoned;
Later on love, later on when we get alone;
Try to love me, I’ll ruin your life.
I Won’t Learn to Lie
Behind these homes
Behind these homes
Is a road
The road that we’re on
Taking us somewhere
Beyond
Not from here
Somewhere safe enough
To bear
I may write
Some time
Master teaching
To be getting over self
You had an
Easy life
Can’t you tell
He is bleeding
On the shelf
The lord is made
Of wine
I me mine me
I’m not good
Enough to be
I won’t learn to lie
Whisper it here
Whisper it is what you say
Say it to me
Hey if it’s what you’re
Thinking
No friend of mine
Would think to
Put me on
The right
I may write
Some time
Be a man
Sticks and stones
Will break my hands
I won’t learn to lie
It’s a chore
And all you
Want to drink
Is more
And love you’re
Never fun
I me mine me
I’m not good enough
To be
I won’t learn
To lie
Making the bread
Making the bread
Made of death
Eating the bread
Eating and freezing
The rest
I’d like to learn
To be reborn
Without the pain
Choking on my
Smile
I me mine me
I’m not good enough
To be
I won’t
Learn to lie
I’m sorry I came
I’m sorry I got in
The way
I’ll just go on
The way that it
Always has been
Sit at home
Sit at mine and want you gone
I won’t learn to lie
Sit at home
Sit at mine and want you gone
I should be a mime
Sit at my home
Sit at mine and want you gone
I won’t learn to lie
Sit at home
Sit at mine and want you gone
I won’t learn to lie
