Xylah

You scatter my beliefs, like ashes from a car, say it brings serenity, blowout all my pay, ask me what's going on, such a terrible waste, clinging to the sea, like someone in a bottle, others won't set you free, it's a different age, you say your pretty smart, but still hesitate, who will fill my needs, like a warm hazy dog, my path from childhood dreams, i'll dance on the waves, all the stuff you're not, scattered in the wreckage, cigarettes aren't good for me, they just leave a scar, holy water is my drink, do you love my Ma ?

Is it love of rain, or a blown out tyre, that you lean against, shuffling in the gloom, asking who is for hire, no one jumps for you, problems they just look away, all a bunch of cryers, no-one's easy or brave, to do what you do, your eyes in the fire, see beyond these blues, make offers to the saved, bend an old fish wire, this is what you give, whisper for someone's due, anyone to enqire, some body to stay true, be the one to rise.

In the Summer light, they herd us poor, gathered on the security line, it's hot for the season, sons and daughters, talk about freedom, on the sidetrack's dusty side, a bitter truth is born, it doesn't merit inquiry, to wake up feeling easy, we are over the border, maybe in our dreams, worry all the down time, if we'll be caught, in some new policy drive, who would believe, we stay here comported, do we make a guilty plea, ask for a little water?

Well wouldn't you know, how people feel, suspicion in every bone, my stllted smile's a strain, hunkered in this territory, they catch it anyway, take my time right now, night stars have no a key, river always flow, why not greet the rain, splash in mountain streams, won't catch another train, ride along the brow, mine those other seams, Tenessee's a picture show, you’re long in the grave, live within your dreams, even for each day, don't need to follow, to see how I've been, stay strictly on my toes, nothing's how it seems.

Clouds furl across the sky, death brings no easy due, even when you lie, he don't care what's fake, still he comes for you, it's your blood he tastes, something deep inside, not just an ordinary Blue, makes you want to fly, those barriers he creates, just say look you fool, who are you to ordinate, however you get high, love is not immune, tell him not to apply, living is to celebrate, something very cool, not when you calculate, all those troubled nights, he only brings bad news, banished when you drive, you always knew.

Keep your eye out brains, don't ever let me moan, guide me on the way, forget what's on your mind, in my life of Soul, am not the lonely kind, singing makes me great, turns to dust our bones, just look at my face, please don't take fright, pleading like a dope, in my tunes you'll find, rage against the grain, makes me stand akone, not worried who's against, tunes let me find, it's not my life they own, what's buried deep inside, bum notes can go ape, all the world's aglow, nothing has to change, I'm my own show.

Lips twist like knives, I am not forgiving, my sweep is river wide, so what else is new, he'll regret sinning, forget trips to secret venues, my Ma says stay wise, make him do the giving, torture him at night, guess our love's not smooth, tobacco blonde and dry, maybe it's all true, could be she's right, he's fresh alive and swimming, sunlight, water, sky, I'll shake the lifeguard crew, laughter's for the living, my eyes are lemon blue, I'll dance in the tide, catch him if he's skimming, nail him with my smile, this is just beginning.
