PURPLE BOOK
Some mother's son, some father's daughter
The happy are fun, somewhere near water
Halloween in Cape Cod, any night in New York!
Castro is cookin', Key West pop a cork!
Got a purple book, tell us where to go
Where we get no look, where the people know
And she's leaving home, and he is off the throne
But they are not alone!
Some mother's son, Some daddy's daughter
Moms and Dads play dumb, some doing what they oughta'
Girl scouts in drag, racing to the border
Sex machine don't say, I'm out of order
Some of them play sly, older man young guy
Sometimes there's love, sometimes there's "Why"
And she's leaving home, and he's kicked off the throne
But they are not alone!
Some mother's son some daddy's daughter
Still a species taboo, but here like sand in mortar!
Some mother's son, some father's daughter
The happy are fun, somewhere near water
And she's leaving home, and he's kicked off the throne
But they are not alone!
Some mother's son, some father's daughter
Surprise Surprise, kinda different from what we thoughta!

Aging Woman Aging Man 12-25-97
Aging woman still looks so good
Retain attainment, stay in the mood for love
Secret aging man, do what you can
Aim to please, down on your knees to understand
And in due time we’ll find ourselves still in love
This aging woman still feels young
You’ve kissed her lips and now you’ve begun to love
My Aging man has worked so hard
Dirty mind, go wash up for love
And in due time we’ll find ourselves still in love
You’ll age so gracefully with gravity, not fighting it off…
Gravity on muscle skin and bone
Where I ask, did the spring go? Where did it go?
Those summer winds were a thermal delight
Cars in heat on a winters’ night for love
And in due time we’ll find ourselves still in love
This aging woman still can move
Older scratchy needle still in the groove for love
The aging man back in the trance
Hypmotized… its’ in the eyes let's dance
And in due time we’ll find ourselves still in love
You’ll age so gracefully with gravity, not fighting it off…

HONESTLY
Hey it’s tough to leave when I’m feeling good about where I am
And if you have ideas, I would like to hear every one of them
Cause’ I been thinkin’ change the wrong in me-andering
For so long you see. Don’t start drinking and head on out to sea
Or puff the the magic drag and go to Honalee and…
Honestly I do believe, that you are staying true to me…
Hey it’s tough to leave when I’m feeling good about where I am
And if you have ideas, I would like to hear every one of them
Your saying and your doing it could alter course (history)
Change my genes, marriage and divorce. Summers’ coming
I’m getting into shorts. Follow my progression even if your dissed…
Honestly I do believe that you are staying true to me…

The World’s Playground
The World’s Playground ain’t a playground no more
The kids are slingin’ sand and my eyes are sore
The world’s playground rusty monkey bars
The swing is gone and it used to be ours... HAHAAHA
Tons of make-up million dollar façade
Where are the pearls when money is God… HAHAHA
And it feels like nothin’s new
Except concrete greedy attitude
So keep goin’ south till’ you hit Cape May
And save your money, don’t gamble it away… hey…
The World’s playground has the Donald Trumps
Taj ain’t no Harlem, just brings in the chumps
Our Diving Horse swimming under Steel Pier
Cooks Books is rolling in the grave over hereRt Here
Leave the boardwalk with a jaded eye
Cause you 7’d out and your pockets are dry. HAhAHA
And it feels like nothin’s new
Except concrete greedy attitude
So keep goin’ south till’ you hit Cape May
And save your money, don’t gamble it away… hey…
The World’s Playground ain’t a Playground no more
Has youth left forever? Well I’m not sure…

TRUE
I Believe in true love, you’re not gonna change my mind
I’m holding on to what I know…
Picking and choosing each step so carefully
Now I'm letting go of recklessness…
I have banisters for the ups and downs
I’m holding on to what I know…
I’ve seen moms and dads fail and grow cold
But we can work it out and into the fold
TRUE
I believe in true friends, you’re not gonna change my mind
We need to use all that we know…
I believe in true love, you’re not gonna change my mind
I’m holding on to what I know…

Male Order Bride
A mail order bride, for a lonely guy
Afraid of a life alone swallows his pride
Plumage goes out, both sides tell about
Biographies, Telepathies, across oceans mouth to mouth
But you pray for an angel, on your knees for a goddess
Doing all you promised…a green card for a kiss.
Family, Friends confused, not used to foreign views’
Easy boys and easy girls, consenting to be used
CHORUS
100’s of Photos 100’s of lives
Many are no-no’s maybe’s and wives for life..FOR LIFE!
A mail order bride, the exotic creates wide-eye
A Russian to Thai, the male, down, stares
wishing to change their lives…
That male order bride, the dominant submissive side
A maid, a slave, forgiving eyes, both along for the ride
CHORUS----BRIDGE
A mail order bride, for a lonely guy
Afraid of a life alone swallows his pride

Punk Rock Roots
You pulled up your roots, your punk rock roots, withered away
Those salad days, question “A”s, rebellious ways, invented faith
Hope I die way before I get old
I may sound like someone you might have known
In the past it was hard and fast
Now your soft and slow dead wood don’t grow
Some took it light, saw different light, with all their might, have lost their way
For those involved, in the midst evolved, became absolved, safe for the freeway
Hope I die way before I get old
I may sound like someone you might have known
In the past it was hard and fast
Now your soft and slow dead wood don’t grow
All the songs. Could right the wrongs where have they gone? There’s still some wrongs
You were so pissed, perpetual fists, against what exists. And now that’s history
You pulled up your’e roots your punk rock roots withered away
A stupid is as stupid does, you are a was, do what they say
You pulled up your roots your punk rock roots…

No Compromise at Sea
Another day gone by I didn’t say anything
Another year I’m shy, I kept it all in
But I didn’t lie to me
I didn’t force that plea
No compromise at sea
Another wave another phase, I didn’t say anything
Another plane and malaise, I held it all in
And I didn’t lie to me
No denial let it be
No compromise at sea
Through a portal, I’m looking out to the oh shit
Seasick of myself oh do I quit, nowhere to go
Do I give in?
6 mo. Wanderlust landlubber or bust
My principle’s invincible in my name I do trust
I didn’t lie to me
No one is there to be
No compromise at sea
Screaming throats sinking boats, wonder if I float
Overboard I wisp the words: Don’t know if I know
Did I lie to me?
The trauma lets me see
The compromise at sea…

We Love our Monsters
We love our monsters yes we do
Lugosi, Jaws, Manson, to T-2
From the Scottish Lochs, to the Motley Crue
We love our monsters yes we do…
Boris Karloff no laugh boo
Ole’ Lon Chaney and Jr. too
Politikal figures in the news
We just can’t get enough of you…
We love our monsters yes we do
In the theatre of life holding on to you
Thrill of getting’ the shit scared outta you
We love our monsters yes we do…
And you’ll never getaway too soon
Cause here’s the creature from the Black Lagoon
And Friday the 13th is Halloween
And Chucky and Edward are cutting up the scene…

The Backroads
I’ll Be Cruisin” The backroads
With my friends the dogs, lizards and toads
Why do I feel the way I do, I’ll tell you
This big ole’ city I can only take so much
A lot of people there…well, there out to lunch
Cause they haven’t seen the trees, the fields the bugs
With their tinny proverbs and their grumpy mugs
Why do I feel the way I do? I’ll tell you
I’ve got my motorbike and a full tank of fuel
The breeze round my body makes me feel really cool
And I got a pretty girl holding on my belt loops
And she’s holding on tight so she don’t say oops!
I said the backroads have to share themselves with me, and you
Some people ask me why you wandering around
They think I’m on acid but my feet are on the ground
And I’m not taking the interstate to your town
Not after this back road peace that I have found
Now why do I feel the way I do?… I’ll tell you
Now we’ll get tired and stop for a while
Maybe at a diner with a foreign smile
I’ll have a cup of tea and you’ll have a soda
Then up goes the kickstand and we’re back on the road
Now why do I feel the way I do? I’ll tell you
HUSH…
Now I gotta be mobile in all sense of the word
Like a peregrinating falcon bird
Out on the road with a trail of dust
I can’t be hangin round in the pants with the crust
I said the backroads have to share themselves with me, and you

Sorta Fearless
I’m not afraid to tell you how I feel
Maybe it’ll be different in a year
I’m not afraid to ask you what you think
I value my own ears
I’m only sorta fearless, Am I getting old?
Gravity and ground get near us
I’m on this plane and I’m jumping out
I’m not afraid to jump and free fall
Eventhough you’ve got my back
I’m not afraid to come when I’m called
Just look where I’m at
I’m only sorta fearless, Am I getting old?
Gravity and ground get near us
I’m on this plane and I’m jumping out
I’m not afraid to tell you what I think
I’ll make that pretty clear
Sorta fearless and sorta fearful
There’s a balance here
I’m only sorta fearless, Am I getting old?
Gravity and ground get near us
I’m on this plane and I’m jumping out

Soaring Icarus
A young bird will say look what I can do
Destiny is a fact in blue
Truth and Freedom to Gag and Restraint upon you
A breach in a word is something no one deserves
Your 50 years old could be 100 or 22…
The house you’ll fly from is down and in two
You listen and do which will is for you
To High you melt to low the misty dew
Soaring Icarus, gave us a great big kiss
Then Crashed into the sea… Now he’s missing me
Calculations can drown in Melee’
And life goes on with youthful naivety
Birdman of Crete or Alcatraz take all
You can only catch you when you fall
Soaring Icarus, gave us a great big kiss.
Then Crashed into the sea… Now he’s missing me…

Rain that Smarts
I’d be smarter if I drank more water
And hung out with you…hangin out with you…
Feel that breeze wind through the trees
Stare straight up to blue…hangin out w/ you
Rain….
I’d be smarter to use bricks and mortar
Building it with you… Hangin out w/ you…
Feel your squeeze, getting’it out of meeez
Keep from feeling blue…Hangin out with you..
Rain…
I’d be smarter cooking to order
Scarfing slower w/you…hanging out w/ you…
Feel that sneeze, wind through the trees
Letting it go: Achoo… Hangin out w/ you…
Rain….Rain…X2
