Happy songs in my car,
holy water in my tank,
nothing else leaves a scar,
blown apart in little ways,
a gurgle from the crank,
she's together these days,
lets me burn the tar,
the sky looks dank,
scatter ashes on the bar,
what is left to say,
my mind's not blank,
clinging to the way,
I see clearly in fog,
no one else to thank,
she rolls like a log,
brings me to this state,
as if i am a bank,
treats me nice on holidays,
you never know how far,
it's best to be frank
know what's going on,
Mabel is no ham shank.
Peggy
Why ask for serenity,
like we're creatures in a jar,
rescued from the sea,
put together in a frame,
note a different mark,
something you can't name,
if others set us free,
a distant bell afar,
takes you back to childhood scenes,
is this a different age,
you drive an electric car,
it still feels strange,
nothing fills our need,
except a hazy fog,
somewhere we can dream,
dancing on the waves,
a sail across a spar,
toss overboard stuff's wreckage,
all the things you see,
all the time we're not,
that's just us laughing,
we carry on.

Is that you Lady,
laughing as you go,
to keep men happy,
make me the same call,
by the river's flow,
tenderness in a Mall,
back in the bayou lakes,
the year of the blow,
give me a piece of cake,
geese in a barren fall,
rise slowly and croak,
don't make me bawl,
keep that trouble at bay,
no life is worth a moan,
give it one more day,
we'll go to the ball,
your face a pure glow,
diamonds make you tall,
in the brutal trades,
smile as only you know,
go beyond busy freeways,
use quieter roads.

Some nights i ask why,
if we'll ever atone,
stars rain down like fire,
is it to our shame,
we extend the loans,
still so far from fame,
come close within my sight,
the wind is running cold,
stay a little while,
are kids and dogs your game,
then don't get old,
just remain the same,
when you hear me cry,
run from a hanging phone,
it's not enough to sigh,
buy some shiny nails,
let's get going,
a house is not a jail,
no matter how we fight,
reveal our yellow bones,
we can do this right,
breathe the ozone.

Fire and evening light,
won't make me read the news,
save the long goodbye,
escaping from that moan,
they always sings Blues,
in North or Southern tones,
this village is my life,
is always here to sooth,
not lost on freeway nights,
brings wisdom to my bones,
accepts all I do,
even to quietly atone,
living here's a paradise,
it brings a certain truth,
celebrates an easy life,
to shelter me at home,
sticks to me like glue,
far from being alone,
cities are full of spite,
life through locked windows,
who needs super sight,
to see who's fooling you?

Beat against my walls,
throw salt at the rain,
hover at infirmary's door,
thank God for my home,
you only bring shame,
looking always to gloat,
what are you good for,
living life on a train,
use only the local stores,
at least try to atone,
dance away my pain,
blow kisses down the phone,
you'll ship out the whores,
make my face turn pale,
Baby you'll roar,
don't ask me any more,
spinning out your games,
no one needs your jaw,
why always touch the bone,
never want to say,
love is always raw,
face yourself again.

Since you've gone away,
i don't know what to do,
but each night pray,
laugh in a hurricane zone,
see my face in pools,
flying like a drone,
don't trick me anyway,
the sea surrounds your crew,
are you on that plane,
lead me to the foam,
take me if you want to,
not just as a loan,
walls are turning grey,
the sky is always blue,
are you on the make,
I want to go alone,
not singing out my news,
with your bag of stones,
your eyes shine like jakes,
look at me in truth,
I'm risen that's the shame,
far too good for you.
