Cautious, chosen words of rhyme
Precious, stolen bits of time,
spent in trying to define
his need
Blankly staring into space
Shadows dancing 'cross his face,
minding only that he makes
no move
He's forgotten, time stands still
All the words stopped up his quill
Paper can't catch the spill
of thought
Has the clock stopped?
Is it shifting gears?
Have the pipes blocked?
After all these years?
Has the clock stopped?
Has the clock stopped?
Constant dripping in the sink
Is it the sound of thoughts you think
Feels as though you haven't blinked
in days
Countless rings 'round the coffee mug
Nervous dreams drowned by drugs
Wonder if you pulled the plug
too late
The hand drops to take it's turn
His pen has left the page to burn
A Camel, he has to learn,
can't write
Has the clock stopped?
Is it shifting gears?
Have the pipes blocked?
After all these years?
Has the clock stopped?
Has the clock stopped?

Latex Heart

You missed, I’m not your grist
You can take me off your list
but your kiss put a twist in my innocence
You’re acute, almost a brute
You can scrape me off your boot
but your kick is the trick that’s so absolute
need, familiarity, contempt, security, content,
trust, abandonment, disgust, depend, desire,
abuse, release, corruption, peace, disruption,
amity, enmity, revulsion, affection,
boredom, boredom, boredom, boredom
You give me indigestion, you give me cause to weep
You’re the cause for the suggestion of a bromide to aid my sleep
Life just ain’t worth livin’ without you givin’ me the creeps
Life just ain’t worth livin’ without you givin’ me the creeps
Your cruelty means more to me than the love of any other
I’m driven to insanity, in the air we share I smother
You make it real, you make me feel, you can make me ache
but you can’t break my latex heart
degrade, deride, snide, satisfied, jealousy,
discretion, loneliness, passion, fears, freedom,
tears, commitment, care, control,
boredom, boredom, boredom
You give me indigestion, you give me cause to weep
You’re the cause for the suggestion of a bromide to aid my sleep
Life just ain’t worth livin’ without you givin’ me the creeps
Life just ain’t worth livin’ without you givin’ me the creeps

Tempitude Risin'

I don't mind the wait
I don't mind the time
I don't mind my fate,
If I don't lose my mind
I can't stand the lies
I can't stand the truth
I can't stand the wise
and I despise the youth
The wages of sin
The wages of fear
The fear is within
The sinner is near
Stopped lookin' for the answer
Stopped lookin' for a sign
Stopped lookin at the cancer
and I won't look down the line
The wages of sin
The wages of fear
The fear is within
The sinner is near
I might be drinkin' whiskey
I might be drinkin' wine
I might be drinkin' brandy
when the reaper cuts the vine
The wages of sin
The wages of fear
The fear is within
The sinner is here

New China

A strand of pearls, jade bangles
and chicken foot earrings
Are they hearing the call in New China?
Investments in abandoned cities
Ghost towns and luxury goods oh so pretty
Please send us your fakes
Who’s on the take?…New China
Countdown to default
Let’s burst the Red credit bubble
Barney Rubble the face of New China
Transfer, leverage and disburse
Tug on the strings of your faux Chanel purse
Cement your erosion
You’re set for implosion…New China
Shadow play, shadow puppet, shadow banking
