    Someone Jr.....

    My spine just squinted and my eye is weak
    I can’t find peace in a form of speech
    My views change color red hot, ice cold
    Black ain’t a color happiness ain’t gold
    It’s hard for me to feel normal easy to feel free
    It’s hard for you to understand if you can’t feel me
    I ain’t in a western in a way I can grasp
    I try to hold on to something that is fast
    If something is a way of saying you don’t know
    Then a name is just a way of being visible
    My name is someone junior
    Who is my dad
    Mama is a Catherine Anne Hoover and she’s all that
    And a bag of crypt
    I’m a municipal and the mundane
    I try to keep weird keep away from the same
    I haven’t read an outline on how to pass youth
    Rather than get passed I pass doobs
    I’m out I’m in it’s hard to live in this given culture
    All the hers and hims
    All of the rats, snakes, and youth vultures around
    My heart’s out of shape and my head’s in a cast
    I try to hold on to something that is fast
    If something is a way of saying you don’t know
    Then a name is just a way of being visible....

    A Man with no God
    A man with no god stated to pray
    For a chance and a shot to win back his name
    He used to have a whole lot but he threw it away
    And all that he loved was washed down the drain
    Oh man on no he had no where else to go
    Oh man oh lord only the lord could save his soul
    He was the one it wouldn’t happen to
    He reminded me of me and you
    He had it all but what is it all
    I guess you only know when it’s finally gone
    Down to his knees and willing to give faith a try
    Willing to plead to the man who gave and spared his life
    A man with no god stated to pray
    For a chance and a shot to win back his name
    When he had nothing he stated to see
    The thing he missed most was his dignity....

    Red Tide

    The summer is here
    And the red tide’s near
    The day breaks brown
    But when the sun goes down
    The faces shine bright
    Through the whole night
    Her glow hypnotizes
    As the sea drops and rises
    Red tide come alive in the night red tide
    Come alive tonight – moonlight
    I kick the crystals in to the sky
    I don’t stop to ask you why
    Red tide
    Friend of the moon
    You come suddenly and leave too soon
    I was beckoned from the western shore
    I couldn’t hold my spirit anymore
    No legend could scare me still
    I give in let go and drift
    First glance and you drew me near
    To the sand with the distant fear
    A midnight flash it doesn’t last
    I have to wait until the seasons pass....

    Swallowed Whole
    I was there too but I got out
    Some stood still and some layed down
    I saw the forming of a frozen mind
    I got out in the nick of time
    My own friends are all in the deep
    Pulling in all of the wandering sheep
    The ones inside don’t dare to ask
    How long the cold cloud will last
    Can you even recall when you last seen the sun
    Can you even remember the sun....

    Old Cold River
    They drug me down to the old cold river
    They’re gonna throw me in
    Cuz I’ve been caught sleeping with the daughter
    Of the only man in town who can swim
    I’m facing the old cold river my back against the wind
    They gon’ throw me down to the bottom of the river
    Never to rise again
    I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
    Down, to rest with the fish
    I sink down, down to the old cold bottom just as the old man wished
    The sea sleeps and the moon is hanging
    Something I’d rather do
    But I’m facing the old cold river
    Bed of eternal blue
    With no reason to breathe without the right to love free
    Sleep in the deep, sink like a drink
    Until again when we meet
    I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
    Without a hope in the clouds
    Down down to the old cold bottom
    To rest my bones in the ground
    They can’t save me
    Nobody can save me
    They can’t save me now
    They can’t save me
    Nobody can save me if I must live without
    I’d rather drown
    Till I rise to the wide open sky
    Down to the bottom old lonely bottom
    Till I rise to the wide open sky
    Leaving this place where love’s forbidden
    Life without her love ain’t worth living....

    Hoopity Hip
    Believe in the trip
    The more that you learn
    You find you don’t know shit
    Quit trying to know it all
    Sometimes it’s ok to be wrong

    ....

    Wet Dreams
    I haven’t had the guts no I haven’t had the balls
    To tell you all about the thoughts I can’t keep out
    Don’t wanna fall asleep I don’t wanna fall asleep
    But I’ve been running out of ways to kill all of these sheep
    She’s been cumming in my head and there’s a devil in our bed
    I can not keep her concealed and I can’t shake that she ain’t real
    She tells me that you’re dead or that you just picked up and left
    And knowing that she lies doesn’t dull her piercing eyes
    When the moon has come and left
    She’s still fucking with my head
    Dragging me into bed and never letting me forget
    As my consciousness slips I fall into her grip
    We drink the devil’s blood inducing psychedelic trips
    She’s got ocean in her hips and liños in her lips
    And when you’re lying in my arms she’s still tugging on my dick
    Wet dreams
    It’s not easy coming clean but my urges can not wean
    I used to fight but now I fiend
    Wet dreams....

    Stranger’s Road
    When Jimmy thinks he found his home
    With smiling faces and room to grow
    He’s put back on the stranger’s road
    Never looking back and never letting go
    He needs time to try his heart
    Why even build or ever start
    If he’ll just get torn apart
    Before he even gets a chance
    To say goodbye and pack your bags
    He’s put back on the stranger’s road
    Never looking back and never letting go
    He needs time to find some air
    All he’s found is life’s unfair
    All he wants is for somewhere
    That he can finally call his home
    Somewhere where he can rest his bones
    Somewhere he can fine someone
    Some place where folks remember his face
    Cause most of the time he feels like a ghost
    Who lives in the shadows and nobody knows
    That he dreams of giving his sons what he never had
    A place to call home and a permanent dad
    and he’ll never show them stranger’s road
    he swears they’ll never know the stranger’s road....

    Heehaw Stomp
    Soft hands with your head hanging low
    You got no plans and nowhere to go
    You’re always lying round and you’re always waiting
    With your no good reasons for your complaining
    I got no time or sympathy for the kind
    Who put their needs ahead and put their morals behind
    No time and too much weight on my spine to give you
    Sense and a dime to hear you shuffle and whine
    The man of today don’t have a back for the weight
    Nobody to wait for food on the plate
    Soft hands why don’t you do it yourself
    instead of waiting for your uncle to help
    pick up your limp chin and tighten up your belt
    instead of waiting for your shadow to help
    the man of today has withered away....

    Barnacle Beat
    I’m a go down to the corner of Beach and
    dance in the street to the barnacle beat
    I’ll stand in the traffic and whale and I’ll dance
    and smile as the plastics trip as they glance
    maybe they won’t find me crazy
    the first ones to come are always the young
    they’ll drop a baby at the sight of the sun
    the youngies and the druggies and the pretties and the uglies
    till the oldies come down and get what they’ve been wanting
    bring what you choose your roots and dancing shows your kazoos and kangaroos
    we’ve got nothing to loose
    sing your own tune or just sing along
    play your grass flute we cannot go wrong
    rip em off the ground
    show em our sound
    show em how to drown
    I’m a go down to the carnival street
    Stand on my hands and smoke with my feet
    I’m a go down to the merry go round....

    Wandering Eyes
    I’ll tell you I’ll never leave you
    If you believe me then it’s your fault
    So hear me clear before you hold me near
    before you hold me dear to your heart
    these wandering eyes roll on the road
    not even I know where I’ll go
    I’ll tell you I’ll always be true if I deceive you don’t be alarmed
    This wandering heart does what it wants
    Not even I know who I’ll love....

    Tijuana
    Ether in the ice
    Revenge in the water
    There’s a thorn in your taco
    And where is your daughter
    Madness in the meat
    Dead dogs in the street
    Little babies scrappen money that they don’t get to keep
    Take me to the city of wasted dreams where there’s little boys with M16’s
    Where there’s little girls barely in their teens
    Dancing on laps to mechanical beats
    Child look over your shoulder and don’t believe their smiles.

    ....

    Old 8 Legs
    Way down in the green
    Way down lies the queen
    Queen of the sea and the sand
    Down deep away from man
    There’s no logic or moral
    Down deep beside the coral
    Resting under the breaks
    You’ll find old 8 legs
    Floating and swimming about
    Holding the cloud in just to let it out
    And if we disturb the peace
    and piss through the top of the sea
    she, she will release....

    Acid Rain
    Last night I dreamed that it rained
    And nobody complained
    And when it quit no one was ever the same
    The rain was strange and all the colors changed
    And the blues of my baby leaving turned into green
    Drip drop dripped onto my lips
    I dreamt an acid rain trip
    Drip drop dripped acid rain trip
    All of my loneliness slipped
    Since you went away everything has been gay
    Only grey and plain until the acid rain....

    Empty Bones
    I met you in the past
    but I forgot to ask your name.
    I kept you in my but it only seems to feed the flame
    give me another chance to break me from this trance
    to get you in my hands again
    oh fill my empty bones
    for I was a heavy stone
    fill my fill my hollow bones
    hear my lonesome moans
    now I can’t leave it be
    your goddam memory has taken over me
    and your face is all I see
    zombie around I run around
    and wind up in the same town I run around
    like a dirty hound until your found
    being young and feeling old
    and having just my drink to hold
    lurkin searchin on the road to find the only love I know
    wild night of lust now only in my mind
    I knew I couldn’t trust this treacherous heart of mine....

    Swamp Stomp....

    Down in the swamp
    Where the spiders stomp
    Swamp stomp chikka bomp BOMP....
