Ferdy

What you have been taught, to always play the fool, bores you as an unread tort, nothing more to say, try to make life smooth, drive in falling snow flakes, go where life is fraught, rage against the Blues, spin through winter's court, think of sunlit days, the sea still surrounds you, just go within its frame, no books or items bought, home provides no clue,, life is more than nought, set your heart ablaze, the trail is well used, everyone what you cannot do, you;re going anyway.

Ella

You say up your game, ask how much we chance, shuffle what remains, listen to our muted song, who would ever chance, all the things gone wrong, watching the rain, sheet down naked footpaths, you pause in refrain, sing the ease of crowded bars, cargo ships and sunlit France, rooms with dark marks, red lips white faced, cigarettes smoked and laughs, sipping fine champagne, here we just bumble along, flying by our pants, wish we were better strong, watching while lighted trains, moan thru' stations underpass, burning like flames, we're not like tramps.

Dorothy

Blows flame into my bones, shares jokes in the dust, then she stays alone, knew her from the jail, a blanket on the dust, always cheery never fails, brought her own console, with that smell of musk, a woman so strong, ice blue on her nails, files them till she's bust, absorbed in all her ways, no one asks for loans, dry cake without a crust, in what she has foregone, haunts me like a ghost, I did what i could, smoke cigarettes on the phone, she rides away at dusk.

Clara

Ask me to ferment desire, a place with faded windows, it just suits me fine, I can play the mule, let you warm your toes, but not as a fool, nearly young with a smile, love free to bestow, you can stay a while, my cabin's smoky blue, what it doesn't show, dreams my folks refused, their hopes on midnight wires, more than you;d evet know, echoes down warm nights, C'mon fill your boots, a chance not to blow, the way we've been used, want you to deny, all my joys and sorrows, rage against the light, walls sleep in the glow.

Bonnie

You extract a heavy score, my fingertips are ruined, love is at the core, can you see my eyes, drop like a scalded broom, strapped in useless diaguise, live life don't whore, leave me here to stew, pray to broken laws, say you are not wise, only fools pay dues, I will run a mile, don't divide me by sorts, pray to the moon, think that I'm forlorn, baby you;ll take flight, listening to my tunes, run awasy crying, think I'm doomed ?

Alaina

What might have been, it's not fair, give a life that's free, don't talk of virtue, you're not that aware, to run from the truth, blowing like steam, your eyes flared, why talk peaches and cream, say what you once knew, is my speech so slurred, you need more proof, at drinks on glossy evenings, would you not care, nights i played the beast, look at me i seethe, catch a glimpse of grey hair, can you love me, dare or scared ?

Yareli

Just smile and calmly state, serenity holds my fear, tell the others at the gate, pour money into schools, don't act like a seer, smile like a generous fool, there are no bad fates, blown like weather steers, we are never too late, regard what soars above, enjoy what's nearly here, you can feel the love, whatever else is great, my vision is he's near, a lifetime given to wait, shocked you need more proof, fly to those who cheer, fresh linen and dry wood, see the star ice clear. .
