NOTHING TO PROVE

Hey Gus, throw in the towel. I think it's time to stop this fight. It's gone too many rounds, I know that he won't stay down.  It's going to take some years, for all these cuts and scars to heal. Not the kind to take a fall, it's better to lose than not fight at all. And with his hands qlinched tight and his stomach made of cast iron. looks like whats meant to be, is giving him just what he needs.  It's life's simple things, so often times overlooked. Just like the chapter missing, from a real good book, and with his hands open wide and heart filled with sunshine, looks like whats meant to be is giving him just what he needs. I heard he moved to the hills with a pretty bride and a kid or two. I know his spirit soars where Eagles fly in skies of blue. I bet you can hear them laughing, all the way to heaven in God's country. I know he is just a man, with nothing to prove.

FALLING

Somehow I guess I managed to raise the bar. Things don't seem to come to me with the same urgency. I'm trying not to lose my lucky charm. The one I've had for so long, looking after me. So you look across the dunes, where the tiny turtles lay. Be sure and turn out your lights from October to May. And it's perfect how they know which way is the sea. Still it's a long tragic journey for most of us. Can you hear my riff, an you catch my drift. Was the tide too swift for you. Somehow I know, there is always going to be, this little part of you in a big part of me. Ain't no way to change whatevers going to be, as we both make our separate way through life's mystery. Can you hear my riff, can you catch my drift, was the tide too swift for you. I'm falling, off the face of the world.

CRAZY WOMEN- see Cemeteries & Junkyards

WHEEL

Seconds rolling slowly off your time. You grab on to something you think is going to ease your mind. Years have passed you, now your so afraid. The frown on your face, reflects the choice you made. Packed up your life, then you migrated north. A dollar ahead in your head, somehow evens the score. Years have passed you, now your so afraid. Your children's faces reflect the choice you made. Don't take your hands off the wheel, cause if you do, you might lose control. Feel the arms that reach out to me in my sleep. A roof over head, food on the table to eat. Years have passed us, now we are so free. We gave to our children, only the things they need. Don't take your hands off the wheel, cause if you do, you might lose control.

TATTOO

Rising in the night sky, I steal your face. I'm taking down a star, putting you there in it's place. So look can look down and gaze upon the world, tell me what you see, tell me what you see if you haven't lost your nerve. I've been 365 it's turning into years. I still look up at you on nights when it's clear. And you just hang there, gaze down at the world. Tell me what you see, tell me what you see if you haven' lost your nerve. I see about you, dangling from the towers, and if you fear gravity, don't go that high. I see about you, tangled in desire, the symbol of strengh is just a tattoo of a flower. Won't be any fire when you re-enter here. No Major Tom malfunction or thirty two feet  per second squared. Take a mental picture, keep it in your mind, tell me what you see. Tell me what you see when you find the time.
