Rollin'

I roll downhill
Perhaps it's time for me
To write my will
Walk on all fours
Perhaps it's time for me
To close a door
But I'm still rolling
And I'm still rolling
I get up late
Perhaps I ought to learn
To roller-skate
I call in sick
Perhaps I ought to sell
My pogo stick
But I'm……
I roll downhill
Perhaps it's time for me
To write my will
I call in sick
I really ought to sell
My pogo stick
But I'm……

My feral friend
He tries to hide
You might see him with me
Unless he's shy
He plays some tricks on me
Because he's sly
He's looking for
A bone to bury
He's yearning for
Someone to carry
Him along
The river mighty
The fox is strong
The fox is rising
He drinks the rain
But fears the storm
He huddles near at night
To keep warm
Although he snaps and bites
He means no harm
He's looking for
A bone to bury
He's yearning for
Someone to carry
Him along
The river mighty
The way is long
The path is winding
Can I forget
This life I'm living
Just for a while
To be forgiving?
I yearn to cross
The river mighty
The fox is strong
The fox is rising

She is Careening
04:29
|

She is dreaming
One half in the air
One half in the water
She knows, but never cares
Tilts, but never totters
She is reeling
This is not pretend
The sun is not the moon
She knows the day will end
And it ends much too soon
She comes to Me
Oh, she comes to Me
She is careening
At incredible speeds
She is careening
At incredible speeds
She's losing air
But I'll be there
To catch her
To carry her
She is breathing
In the sweet air, she is
Breathing in the water
No time to spare, she is
Coming home to Father
She comes to Me
Ever near to Me
She is careening
One half in the air
Ohe half in the water
Gives the eagle a scare
Startles the otter
She comes to Me
Closer still to Me
She is careening
At incredible speeds
She is careening
At incredible speeds
She's losing air
But I'll be there
To catch her
She says a prayer
That I'll be there
To catch her
To carry her

I wanted something, but I didn't know
You needed something, here you go
I failed to sing some melody
You sang a song called "Let it Be"
I don't have room for
Dark secrets and apologies
I try to look for
The science and the mystery
I have changed nothing, but that goes to show
I have learned nothing, there you go
I need to save some energy
I need to learn to let it be
I don't have room for
Long arguments or apathy
I try to look for
The colors and the melody
I don't have time for
The dangers of democracy
I need the strength of
Forty thousand men
I'll see you all again
If I have room
I thought of something, a few days ago
It will change nothing, there it goes
I can't afford more enemies
Let's sing a song called "Let it Be"
I don't have room for
Dark secrets and apologies
I try to look for
The science and the mystery
I don't have strength for
Freak accidents and tragedies
I try to fight for
Our freedom and our liberty
I don't have time for
Black magicks or pornography
I need the strength of
Forty thousand men
It seems this is the end
I won't see you all again
I don't have room
I don't have room
I don't have room

Why would God
Let his people cry?
Why would God
Let his people die?
I waste my life, it's such a pity
My soul is stained, my heart is gritty
Such is my life in Prickly City
Sometimes…
I need a world with fewer whys…
I need a world with fewer…
Why do I
Insist on telling lies?
Why do I
Insist on taking lives?
I waste my life, it's such a pity
My soul is stained, my heart is gritty
Such is my life in Prickly City
Sometimes…
I need a world with fewer whys...
I need a world with fewer…
I waste my life, it's such a pity
Such is my life in Prickly City
Fly to the moon, dear friend coyote
Sometimes…
I need a world with fewer whys
I need a world with fewer…

Night Light

I'm sorry
Your whimpering woke
The mouse under the floorboards
I'm sorry
The scampering mouse
Woke the owl on our roof
And I realize
When unknown creatures
Roam the corridors
It's hard to stay aloof
Like a night light
Unplug the moon, turn off the light
Watch the night life
Sometimes creatures try to bite
I'm sorry
This whispering world
Is battling your slumber
And I'm sorry
The grass is so grey
The sky is so dark
And I realize
Someday the world
May be torn asunder
The ember meets the spark
Through the skylight
Catch the stars, they tumble down
Tumble down
Watch the sky life
Crooked creatures hover 'round
And I can assure you
You've done no harm
I'm caring for you
Do not be alarmed
You did no harm…
You did no harm…
I'm sorry
Your murky mind
Conjures dragons and warlords
And I'm sorry
You cannot believe
These words are the truth
And I realize
When unknown creatures
Roam the corridors
It's hard to stay aloof
Like a night light
Unplug the moon, turn off the light
Off the light
Watch the night life
Sometimes creatures try to bite
Through the skylight
Catch the stars, they tumble down
Tumble down
Watch the sky life
Crooked creatures hover 'round
Like a night light……
