Kenny Three

I live life by drops, no poem or big sea, the blue light holds, your words only serrate, my lousy needs, my gormless games, latticed with coughs, just a wheeze, no one knows whose top, in someone else’s’ name, bound by greed, but you'll find a way, to show who’s boss, everyone else squeezed, like a kitchen cloth, golden moments can't delay, my fight to please, the need to get away, give it all to love, you wouldn't believe, I cared a jot, but you’re not me

In darkness and grain blue, she gives me a sign, release this stupid fool, it’s not she’s gone cold, at the break of light, others that have known, they should weep for you tears just ask me why, what I’ve got to lose, when nothing’s left to hold, at this sudden news, makes me feel old, my eyes in constant flight, care is not an issue, when you run from life, it’s always what we sow, can never wire the fuse, no one loves alone, I would die for you, bells ring out the night, they ring of life anew, wouldn’t it be nice?

My lips twist like knives, I am not forgiving, eyes scan the river wide, what else is new, the wind bites when skipping, the waves of secret venues, my mother says stay wise, make sure you love her, many a long night, our course is never smooth, she’s tobacco blonde and with it, maybe it's true, maybe Ma’s right, skinned alive and swimming, sunlight, water, sky, she walks down any avenue, laughter's for the giving, eyes bright blue, I only have my smile, her frame’s locked into winning, I dance in the tide, it's my new beginning?

You laugh at silly fate, when you’re wearing red, say that life is great, is this is all you do, forever stay ahead, smile like a fool, know the latest rate, even from your bed, singing it's too late, give money to schools, always have the cred, who knows what’s true, if you carry weight, nothing you can’t best, lilac’s to your taste, when you sing the Blues, no one hits the sheds, quite like you, cold white rage, no place in your head, rather tell the tales.

We snatch at desperate news, set a passage clear, nothing else will do, carry heartache home, it might cost us dear, we drag it all alone, nothing left to rue, a course of different years, no one thought we knew, if this makes you groan, think what else you fear, no matter who telephones, there’ll be other rules, to bring our vision near, golden domes unused, take another loan, put perfume on our ears, on such paths we're torn, slake our need for fuel, we’ll ride the bitter jeers, no need to be cruel, prayers instead of tears.

Haven't you heard, I'm shaping to leave, are you scared, shoals of dreams spin away, can't you see, they’re frightened of the day, I can’t share your hurt, that song of the sea, doesn’t really fit here, say It’s not too late, as if I need, to make you feel great, you tut when I slur, know the might have beens, as if you care, I won't need to pray, for some kind of ease, nights off the rails, with unwashed hair, I need to bleach, will hope get us there, will other beliefs?

Keep an eye for trains, your body cold as stone, let me show the way, forget what's on your mind, this’s about your soul, you're not the lonely kind, crying makes you create, a song all your own, hands across your face, don't take fright, or fall like a dope, for any bum you find, go against the grain, stay out there alone, don't worry about the freight, your tune makes them smile, when they’re far from home, stems the fear inside, this railroad’s always late, all your life’s on show, nothing has to change, sing it like you know.
