There was a time,
When I felt so helpless,
Like Bligh,
Set adrift upon the sea.
Nobody seemed to care,
If I lived or died.
So with logs of bitterness,
I stoked the angry fires inside.
Then you came,
Like a breath of fresh air.
You filled my sails,
And brought me away from there.
I want to thank you,
For giving the love that was never returned.
Oh, let me thank you,
For holding my hand,
When all my bridges were burned.
All my bridges were burned.

Spoken Word Two Worlds
Two worlds turning,
Drifting pointlessly apart.
Endlessly they're spinning,
Neither knowing where to start,
Tearing at the surface,
Of the lithospheric membrane,
That conceals the true identity,
Of mutual desires,
That once acted as a catalyst,
And fueled the mighty fires,
That reduced two granite empires,
Into molten unity.
But whatever man tears asunder,
He always wishes whole again.
So he sets about a searchin'
For the one named resurrection,
With the imbecilic hope,
That it will cease this insurrection,
That has scattered every fragment,
Of this creatures shattered psyche.
But in agony it pulls up lame,
Dispirited it leaves the game,
To those, who bent on self-destruction,
Are much more suited to withstand,
The masochistic baneful outcome,
Of such meaningless
Insidious,
Desires.

Take me back
How come it seems so long ago,
That Mister Jagger said, time was on our side?
We thought we'd live forever then,
Our thoughts and dreams,
Wide as the boundless sky.
Out on the road, Jack Kerouc.
We travelled West and journeyed deep inside.
We looked for God in everything,
I've yet to find him, do you think the prophets lied?
But there in your eyes,
I found a truth they couldn't hide.
Take me back,
To those yesterdays
Take me back
To those carfree days,
Filled with purple haze
Take me back
Remember all the festivals?
We built a nation of love beads and tie dye shirts
We laid our blankets on the grass
And rocked with Jimi, making love until it hurt
But times they change and so did we,
That Mister Jagger said, time was on our side?
We thought we'd live forever then,
Our thoughts and dreams,
Wide as the boundless sky.
Out on the road, Jack Kerouc.
We travelled West and journeyed deep inside.

But there in your eyes,

Take me back,
To those yesterdays
Take me back
To those carfree days,
Filled with purple haze
Take me back
Remember all the festivals?
We built a nation of love beads and tie dye shirts
We laid our blankets on the grass
And rocked with Jimi, making love until it hurt
But times they change and so did we,

UXB - Unexploded Bomb
Fat cat politicians lying straight to your face,
They're full of so much shit they're smelling up the place.
Tell you it's wrong when you know that it's right.
They'll paint everything black and then sell it as white.
Preachers on TV,
Prime-time salvation.
Get your ticket to the promised land,
For a meager donation.
Lay your hands on the set,
And we'll save you from heck,
While we live of your Social,
Security check.
Big time corporations,
And oil companies,
Profit from the people,
While they bring them to their knees.
Inflation recession,
And the national debt.
You're in over your head,
And their feet ain't even wet.
Wake up, Y'all
Wake up and smell the coffee,
'Cause the pot is getting hot.
Wake up, Y'all
Let's blow-up in their faces,
And bring it to a stop
I'm a UXB.
Human Incendiary.
An Unexploded bomb upon humanity.
I'm a UXB.
Human Incendiary.
An Unexploded bomb upon humanity.

Brokenhearted Lover
Sometimes love seems like good idea,
You go ahead and you jump right in.
Other times you want to test the waters,
Before you dive back in again.
There's a world of wonder waiting,
Outside your door.
But you're to scared to try the lock,
So you spend your nights pacing the floor.
Destitute in your solitude,
You're dying to reach out.
Your willing to pay for your love,
But, baby you ain't got the clout.
But then you find a love,
You're willing to call your own.
You give it everything you've got,
But still end up alone.
Just another broken-hearted lover,
Just another loser singing the blues,
Just another broken-hearted lover,
Just another Casanova destined to lose.
City streets are cold and empty,
No one offers up a smile.
Gray places n' forlorn faces,
Greet each dusty mile.
Hearts beat loudly when there're empty,
Like a hollow metal drum.
Wounds heal slowly when you're lonely,
Your soul bleeds until you're numb.
But then you find a love,
Welcome shelter from the gale.
Light rains down from above,
Yet still you lose the trail.
Just another broken-hearted lover,
Just another loser singing the blues,
Just another broken-hearted lover,
Just another Casanova destined to lose.

Nobody's Home
You tell me that you're leaving for good,
but baby, you know that's a lie.
You must have left a thousand times,
but never stay away,
No matter how hard you try.
But this time it's different,
'cause I'm feelin' strong
Your pretty things are already packed,
so pick up yer bags and get along.
Now that you're gone I'm just fine.
Don't bother calling, baby it's a waste of a dime.
'cause there's nobody home.
I finally realized I don't need you in my life..
Nobody's home.
I need a full-time lover not a part-time wife
Nobody's home.
'cause there's nobody home anymore.
This morning found a smile on my face,
for the first time in years.
I thought that I'd forgotten how,
It's so hard to laugh when you're fighting back tears.
Standing tall on my own now,
nothing's gonna bring me down.
Got tired of playin' the clown,
this dog'll have his day now that the cat's not around.
Now that you're gone I'm just fine.
Don't bother calling, baby it's a waste of a dime.
'cause there's nobody home.
I finally realized I don't need you in my life..
Nobody's home.
I need a full-time lover not a part-time wife
Nobody's home.
Yeah there's nobody home anymore.
