MADNESS
Give me
your go down madness
Across
the rugs of love
As we ride
into the night
MAKE IT
I overheard
you tell your best friend
That it
was time you did it
But it's
your mother & father
Who always
have something to say.
Girl lets
go far away
And get
it together.
I listened
to you tell your sister
That you
wait until it's dark
And how
you love the mornings' dawn.
Now I don't
want to scare you
But what
I say will surprise.
Lets try
to make it these days
For the
nights have many eyes.
You say
you hate your little brother
When he
cries as you close the door.
That you
would like to do it
But they
might be back soon.
Girl lets
go far away
And make
it while we still feel it.
MARCH
As the assembling
multitudes
From the
upland streams
From Springfield
and Caracas
Drifting
together
Springing
masses
Unification
Against
the man
Who stalls
in shame
The March
has begun
MATH
If math
is music to technology
And figures
the instruments
Then I
would say:
Then pencil
and paper
Are the
bass
The paper
and ink
The rhythm
And the
hand
The flute
MONSTER
I don't
believe anyone told you
About the
black monster
That lives
inside.
You don't
seem to understand
Just what
you can do
Without
really trying.
Soon you'll
meet this black leather
And things
will pass
While others
become clear.
I'm here
to be the one.
MORE
"There's
got to be more," he cried
As the
telephone started to ring
The couple
down the hall
Were at
it again
And the
cats were all hanging around
Spill my
garbage pail
"There's
got to be more," he cried
With the
stereo up to max
Mick doing
it in four speakers
The man
at the door
Dressed
in white
"Do you
want to fight?"
"There's
got to be more," he says
As the
girl packs her bags
"I've got
to get more," she says
"Your love
I've all used up,"
The telephone
stops ringing
The couple
has moved away
The cats
have died
"There's
got to be more," he said
As he turned
the stereo on
And the
music
Remains
his friend
