Gone Again

My love is gone again in
U Haul exhaust at dawn
Cell phone bill- “it’s just a friend.”
He said I got the number wrong.
Where’s it going?
Your lies keep growing.
Railroads and tracks can’t bring you back
They split us like a Redwood’s fall.
You always skate before you contemplate
The shock of the ice rink wall.
Like the severed horse head
You rode into our bed.
Moonshine, bills and sleeping pills.
Haunt my wreckage in the sun.
Yellow tape across the beach break
Keeps them from what I’ve become.
I’m aground and jailed
While your ship has sailed…

Cobra and Mongoose
02:33
|
|||
|
I circle in the night
A vulture around your house
Turn off the porch light
Quiet as a mouse.
I slip through your window
Break down your bedroom door
Nowhere for you to go
As I throw you to the floor.
My shins pin your limbs
A hand across your mouth
Your eyes now recognize
As you yank the snake out.
We slide across the room
Like a cobra and mongoose
That have finally found a truce
This is how we cut it loose.

Red

Red as a mother’s new born
Red as the stain of a matador
Red as impassioned lust
Thrust together to prove absolute trust
Red as a jealous mind
Red as a sunset sky
Red as the wine that drips
From your sensually swollen lips
All this red I give to you
Its painted on me too
Dropped in buckets from above
The longing of love
Red as a revolution
Red as sweet emotion
Red as the muscle that drums
Hastened for our love
Red as a child’s first loss
Red as the wound of the cross
The Red Sea’s miracle blood
Parted by our love
All this red I give to you
Its painted on me too
Dropped in buckets from above
The longing of love

Back of a Car
03:03

|
I met you in the back of a car
We fell in love that day.
But we never knew what our love was for
Until we threw it all away.
Now your eyes turn to stone not star
In a winter light decay.
Icy cold across a lifeless shore
Where we know we can not stay.
Freedom to live…
Freedom to give…
Turn around baby come back to me.
Now I drive behind the wheel of that car
In a dazed life replay.
I glance in the mirror of that jaguar
To see you tumble further away.
Freedom to live…
Freedom to give…
Turn around baby come back to me.
I met you in the back of a car
We fell out of love one day.
And we never knew what that love was for
Until we threw it all away.

The River Comes
03:43
|
|||
|
It’s Zero Hour in the Heavens
They open up to unleash the flood.
While you lay your head
on the River bed, River, River bed
I’m stuck in the mud
And the River comes
Higher now, my Lord.
Higher now.
The stream
bleeds back now
to the sea.
The water is wide now
and so very deep, very, very deep.
I shove through the mud
And the River comes.
Higher now, my Lord.
Higher now.
I’ve built a boat
To help you float
Around the bend.
Where I will join you
In the End.
The water laps your body.
Hidden inside It’s deafening roar
Are whispers of
the Eternal Tongue, Eternal, Eternal Tongue
With It’s secrets you soar
Above the shore.
Higher now, my Lord.
Higher now.
Come to me (Don’t come to me)
Turn away (Don’t turn away)
Carry me (Don’t carry me)
Across the River
Turn to me (Yes turn to me)
Look away (Don’t look away)
Carry me (Yes carry me)
Across the River
Carry me
Carry me

Man of Tao
03:43

The Jungian Dream connects the traces
Of the splintered cosmic faces.
Uh- Uh, Uh- Uh
Turn off time, reach eternal graces
Fear recedes as Love replaces.
Uh- Uh, Uh- Uh
Don’t fall down
Man of Tao
Yield and you remain whole
Be empty and remain full.
Uh- Uh, Uh- Uh
Tao of Heaven is a bending bow
Cradling the Sage’s Soul.
Uh- Uh, Uh- Uh
Not a Sound
Man of Tao

The Big Reveal
02:58
|

|
I’m gonna try
To pass the bone but the bone won’t break away
I’ve gotta slide
Right through the hole and let the light lead the way
I feel my head exposing now
Into the mythical land I recall somehow
I can hear the swirling sound
Blast the past into the new life that I’ve found
Tribal drums
Beat ancestral rhythms of sputters and hums
Through the pulsing cord
They dance the karmic path back to the Lord
I feel the crisp cut now
From the apriori bliss I had found
I can hear the swirling sound
Blast the past into the new life that I’ve found
(I am free floating
Yet her hands hold me tight
Time suspended like a spider
On the delicate web of life)
I’m gonna try to glide that twine
And I hope it doesn’t break away
I’m gonna fly down my path
and soar past the past in my way
Eden has severed
No original sin in sight
My warm cry of Love
Floods the vast calm cool night

Wanna find your way to Heaven - come join the Catholic Church
Right this way to Heaven - come join the Catholic Church
We’re ordained to tell you – just what your soul is worth.
All you alter boys come with me - to the confessional.
Just you, me and him – in the confessional.
Now I’ll show you where to find satan - get on you knees and crawl.
Give me your silver and your soul – and you can shepherd my youth.
Cleanse your mouth with my soap - As I soak you in my soup
Go forth now my child – and preach the Pope’s defiled truth.
Wanna find your way to Hell – you gotta join the Catholic Church
One way to end up in Hell – just join the Catholic Church
Thank God the noble Priest knows – how much your lies have hurt.

Constellations
03:44

If I could connect
The flecks on your skin
If I could connect
The constellations of your skin
I would find the secrets
Of the Universe lying within
An astral prize
Of shifting forest stars
An astral prize
Of falling forest stars
Crashing into my
Divine wonder from afar
When we touch
It stops the stalk of time
When we touch
We speak the truth in rhyme
The wisdom of fate
The poet’s and mystic’s dreams align
The restful hum
Of a child’s nighttime ride
The restful hum
Of a child’s nighttime car ride
I lie here on my back baby
To view the beauty of your eyes
