The Answer
The answer is – motion.
Gratitude
A place past loss, contempt, anger – gratitude. People don’t hold true to their own values. It’s human nature. Enjoy good times when you can, they won’t last. Regret is a waste of what little power you possess.
Conditional Love
The only unconditional love is what YOU feel.
Fatalism
My father’s fatal flaw.
Edges
Rough around the edges but I have a lot of edges.
The Love Idea
Everything is named;
All styles and everything
We put into a box.
Every study has a name; this style suck, end;
The pleasures on the inside mind, body, bank.
Now when you go out looking
I’ll tell you what you’ll find;
The bullshit train, the trashcans full.
You’ll hear all the voices, all the noisy teachers,
No one teaches Truth.
So what you going to do?
Gonna build a better bomb,
Gonna make another mall.
It’s like the rabbi said
And Bobby Rabyd’s dead.
What would be your will
If you could own the world?
Now if we lived in public everyone could learn.
We could watch the sacred puppets try to be
The men.
Personal crusader spiders went out weaving,
Spiders weaving Christ. The players at the turnstyle
Trade suicide for brawn; a name is on the can.
So what you going to do?
Gonna build a better bomb,
Gonna make another mall.
It’s like the rabbi said
And Bobby Rabyd’s dead.
What would be your will
If you could own the world?
And words like line and line like song.
You must know the price, that choosing is the life.
Ask for simple pieces and hope for better ones;
Get lost in Babylon until you find the love.
Saluting to the tribe, grumpy men with wives,
I ride a bike.
So what you going to do?
Gonna build a better bomb,
Gonna make another mall.
It’s like the rabbi said
And Bobby Rabyd’s dead.
What would be your will
If you could own the world?
That’s the Love Idea, Bill,
That’s the Love Idea.

Lovers for Life
There you go man, there is your prize
You fell from the sky onto me.
I have the Earth now, you have my bride.
You fell from the sky onto me.
So I said to the sparrow, come take me now,
Come take me now.
I sat on the hill and I cried.
I can’t make you love me,
You either do or you don’t.
I can’t make you love me.
Pend Oreille
Highway 95.
4 by 4 is on.
The biggest lake, mama, in Idaho.
Don’t want to say it wrong.
Your waters quietly sun-bleach
the sunken trees and submarines.
Yet I dare not say your name –
Pend Oreille, Pend Oreille
Of you I said I’m fond –
Before I moved out West.
A bird of death now drawn
Forever on your breast.
I look into your eyes –
The bottom of my steps;
I cannot catch my breath,
I cannot say it back.
Yet I dare not say her name –
Pend Oreille, Pend Oreille
I said goodbye to Sam
Gone back to Oklohell.
Montana on my mind –
Shooting ne’er-do-wells.
Pend Oreille
I ask your name.
In waves of gravity
My body falls away,
My body falls away.
Yet I dare not say your name
Pend Oreille, Pend Oreille
One Foot in the Universe
Bumpy road to write upon,
Highway stretches on and on;
All the clouds that show the rain;
At the side of the road, a blood stain.
Broken yellow line for passing;
Concrete highway everlasting;
Red light, taillight, line of cars;
Road a mess of cracks and tar;
Oh the sound of falling water;
On the road to see my father.
Sometimes you get by,
Sometimes you can buy,
Somehow you get by
We stripped the world of earth and wood;
We cut the rock, we cut the lathe;
You take the bad, you take the good;
You take them both and there you have.
Sometimes you get by,
Sometimes you can buy,
Somehow you get by
One foot in the universe,
One foot, one;
One foot in the universe.
