1. Wind Chimes




There's nothin on my television

I'd Rather listen to the Wind!

There's nothing on my radio



There's nothing on my television

I'd rather listen to the Wind!

Cuz lately I been feeling strange

All my favorite things have changed

And no one's makin' waves on the radio.



Wind Chimes

Some Times

Play with out a breeze-



There's nothing on my Television

I'd rather listen to the Wind,

Or listen to the poundin' rain

The Beat against my window pane

Is better then whatever on the radio



Wind Chimes

Spring Time

Daisy weep with rain

2.Desire Is An Only Child




Only Child!

Only Child!

Slow Day Behind The Wheel Today

Lost my innocents driving (not a miss spelling!)  

Could it be any further from Ideal?

I'm going somewhere,

Out of the Way

Desire is an only child



There's a song on the radio

Reminds me who I am

I lose People along the Way

I'm looking for something

I can't live Without

desire is an only child



Slow Day beind the wheel again

I can't always tell who's driving

Could be hunger

but I'm never sure,

I'm in the blind spot

Sad as can be

Where it never helps to have company



There's a song on the radio

It reminds me who I am,

But I lose people along the way

I'm looking for something 

I can't live without

Desire is an only Child



Only Child!

Only Child!

Slow Day Behind The Wheel Today

Lost my innocents driving 

Could it be any further from Ideal?

I'm going somewhere,

Out of the Way

Desire is an only child

 Rag Doll




 

Oh!You breath out

I breath in

But you never know

What's in my head

Ain't nothin comin outta my pen!



Oh! You breath in 

I breath out,

You just never know !

what's coming outta my mouth!



You Just never know -



But sometimes

You'll hear me cry

Sounds just like a REAL GIRL



Real girl



Oh, what's in my head

Oh, what's in my -



Oh! Ah Ah

What you want

Push button eyes

What you want ?

 

Oh ! I know !

What you want



You want a 

Rag Doll-

 Painting The Dragonfly




 A childhood curiosity about Tinkerbell is

a good thing. 

I teetered on the edge between 

fascination and captivation, 

until the a blue neon fairy people call

a dragonfly, tipped the balance. 



A reasonable person would say, 

that I imagine things... 

like a grasshopper's metamorphosis 

but I'm not a reasonable person...

It is a fact that a dragonfly is a 

sexy grasshopper

in drag.



 

"Painting The Dragonfly" is a lullaby 

conversation between 2 such fairies.



Lyric

Painting The Dragonfly




Race You!

Through the Neon sky

Chase You!

When your wings are dry,



Yesterday

I saw you

You was painting the dragonfly!



Race You!

Through the NEON sky

Chase You!

When your wings are dry,



On and On

Was that you?

You was sleepin'

In the lullaby.



Song List





When I Pretend




I want to wake up brand new

Just like the way I use'ta do

Yeah, keeping my head

Way up high

and way up



I want to remember

The world inside

and never give in 

Just to realize

They don't care so much

They just don't care



It's all right- ain't it?

It's all right

If I pretend

I'm gonna make it.



No one knows

Where the time goes

No one knows where the time goes

We just pretend!

We're gonna make it.



And if I wake up brand new

I might not wake up next to you,

If you're still in my head,

Then help me forget 

there's a world outside

Don't let me wake up

Just to realize,

You don't care so much

You just don't care!



It's all right ain't it?

It's all right it's all right.

If I pretend,

We're gonna make it.

Song List





Don't Explain



Who lives between the lines

In the story of your life?

It's somebody who -

Has nothing to lose.



There's nothing to lose

just....... everything!



And what do you want to bet

Ain't it strange?

Ain't it strange,

They call you a fool when you lose

But you still seem to like the blues!



Standing there

All alone,

Straight from the sun



Don't tell me  what street you came from

It don't make no difference,

Don't explain,

Don't explain! 

They call you a fool when you lose

But you still want to play the blues.



Always there

The Man in the Moon

Like Somebody who -



Has nothing to lose

Still smiles after

all these years



Come what may!

They call you a fool when you lose

But you still want to hear

The Blues.

Song List







In the words of Norman Cousins: 



"Death is not the greatest loss in life. 

The greatest loss is what dies inside 

us while we live."



The lyric of the song "Something Vital", 

described above inadvertently by Norman 

Cousins. 





Part of empowerment is the realization

of how powerful even your smallest 

actions really are,

and when you feel powerless you feel that 

what you do and say does not matter.



Something Vital



I'm Trying to remember

What Lives in My Heart



Trying to remember

What Lives in My Heart...



You got too many loose ends

They keep hanging around -

and they count up the people

Who love to PUSH you around!



Does it matter what you do?

Does it mtter what you Say?

There's no denying it,

Somthing is Wrong!



Something is wrong,

Your wasting all of your time

Something Vital is slowly dying,

Slowly dying!





Spent the whole day in bed

just wasting your time,

Take a look at the fine print

It says your out of your mind!



Does it matter what you do?

Tenticles attached to you

They're taking everything

Including DESIRE !



Something is wrong,

Your getting left behind!

Something Vital is surely dying,

Surely dying!



Trying to remember

What Lives in My Heart

in My Heart

in My Heart

Impossible Balloons



I'm leaving here

Off this avenue

Where I don't hear

nobody crying



Where something I've

done is good enough

I may die

But I'll never know why

You're so afraid

What can I do?

Am I better off

With out you!



Am I white?

Am I green?

Am I blue!



You held my dreams

Like Impossible Balloons



It's easy to get carried

away,

How do I let go

Of my string!



I'm leaving here

Off this avenue

Where I'm going 

I have no idea

I may Fly

But I'll never know why



You're so afraid

What can I do?

Am I better off

With out you!



Am I white?

Am I green?

Am I blue!



You held my dreams

Like Impossible Balloons



It's easy to get carried

away,

How do I let go

Of my string!

Third Precinct



There's too much action here

Everybody's crazy

Too many amateurs

and way too many babies



The cops like the passion here

They say I should move away!

They don't like witnesses

And this is where they play



Well I'm living in the

Third precinct

Everybody's uptight

Everybody's tired

And swollen from the fight



Living in the

Third precinct

Everybody's uptight

I'm living in the Third precinct

I don't walk alone at night



There's too much action here

Everybody's crazy

Too many amateurs

And way too many babies



I don't like the reminders

Any better than you do

I packed up I walked out

I don't know what to do!



There's too much action here

Everybody's crazy

A high turnover

And way too many babies

Rain Dream



Sweet dream

Oh, I can't find you anywhere

There's no listing

and no way to reach you at all



Sleep's where I know you

From some kind of rainy dream

Oh I don't understand it

There's no way to explain you at all



at all

at all

at all



Sweet dream

Oh, I can't find you anywhere

There's no listing

and no way to get through at all



Rain Dream

Rain dream

Rain... Dream

Distress Signal From A Distance Champion



I'm restless

Desperate

I'm wounded...



All I can do is dream

All I can do is dream...



I will be lucky today

I will be lucky today

I will be lucky, I will remember

Who I am

Who I am!



Nothing but Magic everywhere

It's everywhere it's in the air

Sleeps with you every night

Tells you it will be all right

Nothing but Magic everywhere...



Nothing but Magic all around

It's growing right up out of the ground

Becomes you every night

Tells you it will be all right

Nothing but Magic everywhere...

Bo Jackson




This is a true folk song

about my friend Bo Jackson

A hero who lives in North Hollywood.

He is  100% activist,

a champion of the poor

and disenfranchised.



Bo Jackson



I got a friend in North Hollywood

Lives in a little tiny room

Everything you know about Hollywood

He's there to prove it isn't true,



He should know better - 

but he never did

He loves the city  - 

he's just like a kid



Oh and I

I just gotta say

Oh yeah I

I just gotta say!

At least the sun is shining

In L.A.



I got a friend in North Hollywood

Lives in a little tiny room

Everything you know about Hollywood

He's there, he's there to prove

That it's all true



He sends me letters - 

but they ain't from him!

He sends me letters  - 

but they ain't to me!



Oh and I

I just gotta say

Oh yeah I

I just gotta say!

At least the sun is shining

In L.A.
