- At Death, A Proclamation
O in life
Through many dark rooms
We must go
And all right
Though many’s the hour
Will come to you sour and slow
And all night
Though flames in the forest ring halos
- Dead Heart
Around your head, drowned and wet
Is a ring of lights, buzzing lights
Cousin, light is not foreign
No, such is light in me tonight
I at all white and I not white
I at all white and I at not white
But wait I wasn't born
- Joe Tex, These Taming Blues
Lyrics to Joe Tex, These Taming Blues :
is it ever gonna not be so hard to see you around?
am i really really really really gonna have to really gonna have to really have to leave town?
i mean i called upon a bunch of angels calling angels ain't you supposed to come and take away these blues?
i mean we came upon a bunch of rabies and there is nothing all us little animals can do.
- Los Angeles
The road is alive
And everybody's all here
I'm closing my eyes
Till the colours appear
Oh me oh my
Ain't it funny up here
To stand in the light
Said I ain't came to Los Angeles just to die
- reasons to quit
Reasons to quit
The coke and booze don't do me like before
Hardly ever sober and my old friends don't come around much anymore
Reasons to quit
Below it's always lower than the high
Reasons to quit
Don't out number all the reasons why
- Song for Zula
Some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
Oh but I know love as a fading thing
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
See, honey, I saw love,
You see it came to me
It puts its face up to my face so I could see
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
- the mermaid parade
In New York this morning, it was 8am LA time
And I could be there by this evening
Said the girl on the airline line
So I bought that ticket, and I got in that cab
But I didn't make it babe
To the airport like that
No I wound up walkin
- Wolves
Mama there’s wolves in the house
Mama they won’t let me out
Mama they’re mating at night
Mama they won’t make nice
They’re pacing and glowing bright
Their faces all snowy and white
Bury their paws in the stone
