  • Footsteps in the Hall (Lyrics)

    As they lay her in the ground
    And the priest begins to pray
    I raise my head and look around
    The colors fade to gray

  • In the Right (Lyrics)

    He was in the right
    She was in the wrong
    And though he won the fight
    He doesn’t feel that strong

  • Josie (Lyrics)

    Josie can’t sing, but she sure knows how to smile
    Josie can’t sing, but she sure knows how to smile
    And when she smiles at me, I get to feeling like a child

  • Long Shadow (Lyrics)

    Life of the party with a tear on your cheek
    You’d had some trouble at home and a dog-crap week
    Wore your heart on your sleeve, drank your worries away
    I was a sympathetic ear with nothing to say

  • Strip (Lyrics)

    Strip me of immortality
    Say religion’s just a drug
    It should be swept under the rug of reality
    Strip me of immortality
    Give me meaningless devotion
    To this ball-and-chain emotion of this animal breed

  • The Color of the Pen (Lyrics)

    I saw suspicion in her eye
    Truth is fire, dancing image ill defined

    (more…)
  • Wall St. Wisdom (Lyrics)

    Brown nose, serving time, focus on the bottom line
    Servant of the dollar bill, master of the overkill
    Fiery hoop high jump, God the Father Donald Trump
    Long hours, job is wife, Wall Street Journal, Book of Life
