Headache (You're giving me a headache)

you're giving me a headache
I can't take much more
too much confusion
I just wanna close the door
slam it on my feelings
you're talking too much
but you're not saying
anything anymore

you're giving me a headache
I can't take this anymore
why can't things just be
the way they were before
without all this thinking
and talking
we did things just because
there was no reason for
but now...

you're giving me a headache
for which there is no cure
no Tylenol or cocaine
will take away the pain
sometimes I wish that
you would stop talking
and stop me from walking
walking out the door again
and now...

you're giving me a headache
it's so hard to move ahead
when everything you talk about
leads to something already said
mistakes are steps taken
to bring me closer to you
but if you keep talking
there's not much I can do
you're giving me a headache
such a headache
still now...

you're giving me a headache
such a fuckin' headache
like so many times before
you're giving me a headache
what a fuckin' headache
I can't take too much fuckin' more
you're giving me a headache
you're giving me a headache
where's the fuckin door...?

Who's a good boy?

What have we become?
Not only our generation
but mankind in general...or the
superior species.
I saw a friend the other day and stopped to say hello.
He told me he was on his way to visit his Mother. He placed her in an old age home, some time ago for reason of convenience. When I first spotted him he was picking up after his dog and putting the bag of shit into his pocket. Folks there is no way I would put a bag of shit in my pocket! Not even if it were my own! Let alone dogshit!?! Anyways, he was picking up after his dog and I stopped to say hey, How's it going,  how's your Mother?
Not bad, she's fine, but my poor old Brutus here, he's got a sore,  you know, don'tcha boy...who's a good boy, and it hurts when he goes, but I got this cream I put on and he's seems to be getting a whole lot better.
I laughed, Well that's good, glad to hear, I said, Give my love and best wishes to your Mom... and went on my way.
Huh!? Like WTF you put your Mother in a home but are willing to rub cream on your dog's ass every time he shits... God forbid your Mother should need you!
I don't know why people are the way they are anymore and I'm not sure I have the time to figure them out anymore either!
Sometimes I just don't understand people at all.
But holy shit folks wake the hell up I hope you never need someone like your
Mother or Father, Sister or Brother, Grandmother or Grandfather to talk to,
to count on, someone to help you when you are unable to help yourself.
Don't take me wrong I love animals too but holy shit, I love my family members more.
My dog never changed my diaper or fed me but my Mother did, my Grandmother did. I can have a sick pet put down and be very upset as I have done in the past. But when it comes to a Grandmother, Grandfather,
Mother, Father, Sister, Brother come on folks that's a whole world of different feelings.
I would use all my abilities to help in whatever way I could to help a family member or friend and even a stranger for that matter. I am not taking away from a pet relationship but the loss of a family member or close friend is truly
the ultimate pain.
They say that killers, especially the cold or serial killer type, begin by practicing, torturing and killing animals. If this is true what do people who treat animals or pets better than there own flesh and blood become?

Talk

Talk
why won`t you talk to me
Speak what`s on your mind
I don't care what it is
whatever you may find
I just need to hear you
Talk
why won`t you talk to me
Speak what`s on your mind
be it clever or unkind
Either one suits me fine
Talk
why won`t you talk to me
I just wish you would unwind
Come down off of that cloud
Down here to cloud nine
Here everything is fine
If you want it to be
Talk
why won`t you talk to me
I have the time
So tell me
what`s on your mind
It doesn`t matter
Nothing`s too much
no hill
too big to climb
Talk
why won`t you talk to me



Slow down
take the time
speak your mind
and release your heart
I will make the time
to feel your love
and make you mine
Talk
why won`t you talk to me

A little bit at a time

A little bit at a time,
take it easy baby,
I think we'll be fine.
A little bit at a time,
take a deep breath,
I think we'll be fine.
A little bit at a time,
take it easy baby,
try not to take too much.
Love is a drug
you can't take too much
at one time
Love is a drug
do not take it lightly
Get off my chest
I can breathe again
I think we'll be fine
Look i the mirror
Can you see the wind
blowing through your hair
A little bit at a time
Take it easy baby
I think we'll be fine
Look between the words
and the rhyme
Look in the mirror
Take a deep breath
make it mine
We will be fine
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror
I see you but do you see me
Take it easy baby
But take it while you can
Take it easy baby
A little bit at a time
Take it easy baby
Take it while you can
Take it easy baby
A little bit at a time.

Electric Blue

Let me tell you how clouds taste
Like tears, like the ocean
Clouds taste like the sea
Like you and me, I know it's true
Because when it rains
it tastes a little bit like me
and a little bit like you.

Like a butterfly on a moon beam
Through the shadows of the planets
Across the forests of the universe
Your love has come to me
Gently floating down on me
with an iridescent glow
sparkling at the tip of each hair
tingling and teasing
Until finally I am enveloped
completely
I feel electric blue
energized by you
The heavens are filled with clouds
I am electric blue
energized by you
eyes open wide
I feel you inside
electric blue
Drinking the nectar
wine of the clouds.

Anticipation of you
every tear that you cry
every drop that you perspire
Let me tell you how clouds taste

Let me tell you how clouds taste
Clouds taste like tears, like the ocean
Clouds taste like the sea
They taste like you and me
I know it's true
Because when it rains
it tastes a little bit like me
and a little bit like you, too.

Love costs so much

I hear and I see
But it’s all so confusing to me
The long whip of
Her eye lashes
Cools me down as
The car crashes
Long since that day
There’s been so much to say
But time carries on
Like the words to a song
That you’ve yet to hear
Waiting and anticipating
For a word for a clue
What should you do
A change of heart
A different scene
Someplace you’ve never seen
No time for reflection
Or to pretend
Love costs more
It costs more in the end
Cold harsh words
Run out across your
Blistering lips
Warm blood trickles
Between your fingertips
How come love always costs so much
It costs so much more in the end
The things I hear and I see
They are so confusing to me
The long whip of
Her eye lashes
Cools me down as
The car crashes
Long since that day
There’s been so much to say
But time carries on
Like the words to this song
That you’ve never heard
Yeah
She takes me places that I’ve never been before
She drives me crazy like no other has before
I lay naked beside her, on the kitchen floor
I think of her until I can’t think any more
She shows me things that I’ve never seen before
So tell me
How come
Love always cost so much
So tell me
How come
Love always cost so much
It always seems to cost so much
Love always costs so much
It always costs so much
In the end
In the end
In the end
The end

Close the door

Close the door, close it tight
It’s not right
The weather’s not right
Not tonight
To fly a kite
There’s a storm brewing
And I’m not sure
Not sure what I’m doing
Strange as that may seem
Like thoughts in a dream
That keeps getting stranger by the minute
Like water only gets cold when you’re in it
Close the door, close it tight
It’s not right
The weather’s not right
Not tonight
To fly a kite
There’s a storm brewing
And I’m not sure
Not sure what I’m doing
But I do know
I know that it’s not right
Something’s not right
Not right tonight
It’s not right
The weather’s not right
Not tonight
To fly a kite
There’s a storm brewing
And I’m not sure
Not sure what I’m doing
So close the door, close it tight
Because something isn’t right
Tonight

Can I come too?

Where does my heart belong
Why does my heart beat now
Now that you’re gone
Where will my eyes look now
Why do they see at all
Now that I can’t see you
What good are my arms
What will they do for me
Now that I can’t hold you
My feet are so sore
But what good are my feet
If I can’t come to you
I can’t get you off my mind
But what good is my mind
If I’m losing it over you
I’m falling apart since losing you
And I don’t know what to do
Because
My heart still beats
And belongs
Only to you
My eyes still see
But they only see you
My arms are open wide
But only for you
My feet are happy now too
Standing here next to you
And you are always on my mind
No matter what you do
So if you're thinking of leaving
If you’re leaving
Can I come too?

Like a banana

Bruised like a banana
Never unbruised again
Tangled thoughts of leaving
Between the healing pain
Why is it when I think
...things are better
It begins all over again
In a different way
Seems as though
happiness doesn't
want to come today
Even when it does
it doesn't stay
Take the other day
Take it now
Take it away
Take all the other days
Take them all away!

How many times

How many times
How many times do I dare
Before you know I care
I can't count
The sum seems to surmount
Every time I try
I feel it getting high
I count faster
But there's no reason to
I can't fly
Not that high
The number keeps growing
How many times
Without you knowing
How many times do I dare
Before I get there
I don't know
Never did
It's too far
Besides
Who will be there
To care
I'm not sure anymore
I was yesterdays
But not today
Today I lay
Emptier than ever
I thought I was clever
But I'm not a Trevor
Far from clever
Smart perhaps
But not smart enough
Good, alas
But not good enough
How many times
How many times
How many times
If I only knew
How many times
How many times
How many times
Before I get it
Get it right
How many times
How many times do I dare
Before you know I care

Intoxicate me

Your looks intoxicate me
I know at times you hate me
I close my eyes and you take me
Every breath I take you make me
In my dreams you rape me
I can't take you anymore
Every day as you walk by me
I wish you would stop and try me
You never know what you'd get
Till then please
I can't take you anymore
I take drugs I don't get high on
I stopped drinking to stay hard on
One thing I am sure of
One thing I can rely on
Your looks intoxicate me
Even though at times you hate me
But when I close my eyes
You still take me
I hyperventilate because you make me
Every night in my dreams you rape me
If there's one thing I'm sure of
I know I can rely on
I just can't take you
No I just can't take you
I just can't take you anymore

Those days these days

Don't know why I stay here
Don't know why I care
The things I used to feel from you
These days I hardly feel from you
I get the feeling that you love me
But then you seem to not really care
The way that you used to, about me
Those days these days are rare
Know that I have hurt you
With things I've said and done
But I'm as hurt by this as you
To see what we've become
I wish I knew the answer
Or better still the way
To make you see past all of this
To make it through today
Please don't let me leave
Don't let me fall apart
I wish that I could be as strong
As my love for you is in my heart
Don't know why I stay here
Don't know why I care
The things I used to feel from you
These days I hardly feel from you
I get the feeling that you love me
But then you seem to not really care
The way that you used to, for me
Those days these days are rare
I once had a notion about you and I
We once had a dream together
And I won't let it die
So reach out trust me, please take my hand
Let's fly off together
Far from here
To our dream land
Our worries like the sunset they'll fade away
All through the night our love takes us
Into the light of a bright brand new day
Don't know why I stay here
But I'm starting to see
That leaving here and leaving you
Isn't what I want for me
All those days full of doubting
Anger and fear
Put them behind us let's start from here
Let's make those days, not these days, disappear.

Most of my life

Been a good boy
Most of my life
Walked the walk
I was taught to walk
Most of my life
Did the best I could
Most of my life
But the good boy changed
And
Hell broke loose the day I met you
Yeah, hell broke loose
And it ain’t back yet
The sun disappeared
The sky went dark
The wind whistles by
To the song of a lark
I’d been a good boy
Most of my life
Walked the walk
I was taught to walk
Most of my life
Did the best I could
Most of my life
But the good in me changed
Because
Hell broke loose the day I met you
Yeah, hell broke loose
And it ain’t back yet
No it ain’t back yet
And won’t be back
No it won’t be back
For the rest of my life
The rest of my life.

Not good enough

I KNOW I KNOW SHE SAID
WITH A WAVE OF HER HAND
MY LIFE’S A MESS TOO SHE ADDED
BELIEVE ME I UNDERSTAND
ALTHOUGH THESE WORDS STILL ECHO IN MY MIND
WHAT WAS I TO SAY OR DO
I’VE BEEN TO THE DOCTOR TOO SHE SAID
HE SAYS I’M AS BAD OFF AS YOU


I’m not looking for your sympathy thanks
I CAN FLY LOW ENOUGH ON MY OWN
AND I’M FULLY STOCKED ON PAIN AND SELF PITY
EXPRESSED BY MY MELLOW DRAMA DRONE

Indifference, misunderstanding and confusion
ARE ALL PART OF LIFE’S TEST
BUT THE ENDURANCE OF SAME SURE IS TOUGH
WHEN THOSE WHO LOVE YOU
SEE YOU LIKE ALL THE REST

On my face that once smiled at everything and everyone
LUNAR DIMPLES AND ALL
I SEE ETCHED THE FROWNS OF PAIN
Life offers little humour now for me
HERE IN THE MIDST OF THIS FALL

How low can you go
I’M NOT REALLY SURE
I’M NOT SURE I CARE
I CAN’T SEE THE BOTTOM


FROM OR FROM THERE
SO I MUST BE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN
BUT I’M WASTING MY BREATH CAUSE
YOU ALREADY KNOW
HOW I FEEL
AND EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN

I’m sorry if I weigh you down
WITH THE OCCASIONAL LIMP
AND MY PERMA-FROST FROWN
BUT ALL I REALLY WANTED
WAS TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION TO YOU
I THOUGHT THAT I COULD CLARIFY
MY ABSENCE AND WHATEVER IT IS
YOU THINK I DO

But like everything else in my life
IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH
IT JUST WON’T DO




SO WITH A TEAR IN MY HEART
I WATCH AS YOU LEAVE
WEARING THE DRESS I REMEMBER
AS A CHILD
THE ONE I ALWAYS WANTED TO CLING TO
I LOVE YOU.

Divided

Love and expectations
I could never tell them apart

How close in love can we possibly get
When we’re so far apart

We can travel
In spaces divided

Dark and lonely ones
Our malnourished love has provided

And though there may be happy moments
In between

To tell you the truth
I like love better in a dream!
