MUSIC
It
seems that music needs
Revolutions
per minute,
And
to this day
Is
unit less.
NAKED LOVERS
Let
me hear you cry
Your
love cries in my ear
Like
the soft east wind
Blow
across my years.
Did
you see the naked lovers
Down
in the park again.
Reminds
me of your long legs
And
the games they play behind.
Did
you whisper your fears
In
the silent dark night
Or
was that our bodies
Frayed
up against each other
Tight.
Let
us try again to begin
And
reach that higher end
And
remember those naked lovers
Down
in the park again.
I'll
go turn the record over
And
you light your cigarette.
To
come together in our sin
To
love, to laugh and reflect.
NIGHT TRAIN
When
the night train up from Providence hoots her chill voice
through
the dew soaked rails, the thin silver reflected
moonlight
upon the endless parallel steel starts to shimmer
as
the ripples on a deep lake, in answer to her lonely call
of
the night.
NO WRONG
I
did you no wrong
Why
did you treat me this way?
I
gave you me deep love
You
gave me only pain.
I
thought you loved me
I
did treat you so sweet
But
you turned your back on me
And
won't look at me again
I
did you no wrong
Why
did you treat me this way?
OSTRICH
Two
to one
Now
one in two
Don't
you know
We'll
love tonight
Come
on baby
Comming
up slow
What's
keeping you
Down
Way
Down
PARROTS
The
man was caught
Bringing
parrots across the border
Wrapped
in socks
And
tequelia drugged.
The
parrot epidemic is
To
eat crops.
Hands
from the south
Are
at work again.
