Lyrics
What I Expect
When it sounded just like this
I have ignored it before
I have neglected my soul
I have gone for the run
But it is just what I expect
Of myself and of you
And it is more than I am
And it is more than you know
When it sounded just like this
I have ignored it before
I have neglected my soul
I have gone for the run
But it is just what I expect
Of myself and of you
And it is more than I am
And it is more than you know
My over-the-top lifestyle
Knows no change, as you know
But you are (so) right to call me out
As you have done before
My decadence knows no taste
But it does know art
Your openly brazen charges
(They) tear me apart
Crazy Eye
I told you before my eyes run crazy
Especially when the cameras are on
But let the word salad take me
And let me have my dinner’s delight
Yet if no one lasts the night I will be happy
And let the talkers talk themselves tonight (to death)
Cancer for Leo
Cancer is my sign
Virgo is my house
The moon is in Pisces
My sun sign reigns Sagittarius
Oh…Oh…
What’s your moon sign
What’s your sun sing
I’m in Pisces, I’m in Libra
I’ve got so many signs
House is in constellation Cancer
Leo’s opened up its doors
Virgo has its simple charms
I need to be in Cancer
Give me some Cancer
Taurus has stomped on me
Libra has weighted scales
Capricorn has dove into the sea
Gemini is the twins
Oh… Oh…
Ephemeris delineate my sign
My sign is pointed to the top
Agent of Change
I have left my mission behind
Covert operations, your orders were mine
Assassin’s sleeper cell was my home
But I return now decrypted and alone
Let me be your secret agent
Put me in your safe house haven
Informants told me I would not survive
Without a bank account and a really good disguise
Documents falsified and lost
Missing persons hidden at all cost
Let me be your secret agent
Put me in your safe house haven
I have left my mission behind
Covert operations, your orders were mine
Parrot Blue
Why don’t people listen
To the last bird’s song call
The last species to take a fall
The past’ only vocal call
Sooner than later
Something needs to be done
Gone it is forever
Its blue and white feathers plumed their last
Metaphors Reveal
Comparisons graft
Onto themselves
A self writ large
On others
A like is as
Like is
An as is like
The same
A me not you
A metonymy
A metaphor revealed
Sonnet Lost
The party lifestyle casts our lives so bold
And lets us gloat the best things of our lives
Though seeing in me a tragic loss or gold
Depends on what you ask all my ex-wives
And wild but true the rumors hang awry
Of glasses tipped and broken on the bar
Embarrassed losses kiss the day goodbye
With streamers fallen bottles left ajar
Another nip from cocktails left to frost
Exotic sips from candid cups with slurs
A bitter shot of aged spirits lost
A challenged swallow taste that’s not been worse
O girl of drink imbibed of liquored song
You’re a glass put down un-drunk for far too long
Foreign Here
Seeing things foreign is like
Knowing what to say without saying it
All the kids play the same way
All the lovers joke and nuzzle the same
What is different is the timbre, not the tone
The contents, not the song
Give Me a Moment
As I sit here alone
In deafening stifled solitude
The quiet hurts my ears and creative flow
No lines to fill in or make it cast art’s glow
Give me a moment and I will put it in context for you
Lend it a script that spells out its meaning for you
(inform the masses and elites [its words] for you
a charming line that puts your spirit to sleep)
Untested Voices
All boys’ calculated dreams
Every family’s girl
His inner joy knowing love’s morrow’s never only peace
Questioning restless silence
Tomorrow’s untested voices
While x-raying yesterday’s zeal
