Jordan
Don't give me another trip,
strangers grasp me from below,
tell me get a grip,
we don't need drugs to pray,
sooth our bones,
or the need to get away,
stowaways have surly lips,
manacles of wretched homes,
others take a coin and flip,
hollow jokes and spirits fray,
on sentimental zones,
lies in everything they say,
they make our spirits dip,
will consumptive Europe,
take another a nip,
care to ask how we sleep,
or can we ever atone,
when faith take a leap,
wonder why we slip,
the wind gives a groan,
down our coffin ship,
dance parishioners go.
dead ruin across your face,
more jelly for my blues,
it doesn't bring relief,
but a new gnawing pain,
of wasted opportunity,
who bears the issue,
to the hospital gates,
you couldn't face the truth,
a swollen handkerchief,
a still born fate,
a star across the sea,
you wouldn't believe,
i tried to be gay,
,
listening to the rain,
for the cache of blues,
you are strong,
the moon fills your dome,
you'd never scorn,
when donkeys start to bray,
you dance and play
a surfeit of energy,
vodka tonics citrus cool
who needs reason,
that never fades
take a train,
you've sat and tread,
a path alone,
not having a sou to spend,
or like Zeus in his head,
listening to stones,
i only read in bed,
send me ahead.
who needs reason,
bags weigh heavy at night,
it's fun being away,
won't ever think concretely,
worry about pain,
a long silent right,
December in warm climes,
find an Ocean to lie in,
if they think that crass,
consider them gone,
you're not perturbed,
dancing on brown chairs,
when you tell lover's lies,
on the lilac,
whoever make me plead,
wave goodbye to dreams,
she has me all alone,
my turn now to bleed,
always opens the gate
they ask, the ghosts,
sat on bar stools bereft,
you never throw stones
What you created,
with me as your creed,
leaves me prostrate,
a tune with broken tones,
in that sixties scene,
when you left home,
you didn't hesitate,
to polish the chrome,
the moon hesitates,
it knows where she's been,
the wind going boom
hold the clock chimes,
run outside the room,
live generous lives,
like you never rue,
brave enough it rests nearby,
what settles on the breeze
to rescue God or try,
brush away disease,
laugh at why you're cold,
what has come to be,
dance on love you sigh,
sing that song you sold,
growl it like a lullaby,
before you die
you're no salamander.
.panic shall not reign
who holds their reins?
best not to moan,
keep hold of your creed,
by Calendar or the sea,
throw calcium
to bird who have flown,
it was only fame,
singing as they go,
drunk as a fiery contralto,
dance amongst flames,
problems the wind blows,
the love that was shown,
dissolves gives way,
all that you owned,
keeps you engaged.
cafe's swell with rain,
best not to moan,
keep hold of your creed,
don't let panic reign,
like a hurricane zone,
try to circle the domes,
not knowing where to go,
you have got my tone
knowing not enough to see,
would you let me tumble,
tired of this campaign,
across this shining bite,
that gives no trouble,
against the water's might,
the Americas of circue.
by mountains and ruins,
lovers only hesitate
she never left a family’s gate,
but came here to sing,
a woman who knows she's great,
that beckons any time,
next to me like a bride,
around a constant why,
the land within our sight,
an old man and his wife,
a voyage for the rate,
set your almond eyes
birds sing out of tune
drain summer into June
sweep up with the moon
not present castigate,
hope on a midnight wire,
we are not alone
in this lasting light,
home provides no clue,
God knows of our plight,
don't try to collude,
say your cards are marked,
you're never that far,
to stay where you are,
in a warm hazy fog,
and a veil across your face
don't send me to Mars,
from where you perorate.
