DANCING HORSES

Bring it on back

Bring it on back

Lets take a baseline

Upward from here

On this we agree

Upward from here

And don’t you distract

The spotlight is on

And I am directing

Don’t you distract

I will direct

Your attention

Now cue the dancing horses

Now cue the dancing girls

Blessings will beget blessings

And blessings will be deserved

Why won’t you act right?

I Love You But You’re Kicking My Ass

It’s so strange, troubling

How, when outcome is known

How you, informed and true to form

Choose the wrong thing

And you say that

You want to

You want to change how you are

But then you don’t change

And so change is not the outcome

And I can’t hear the same old story

And I won’t sing the same old song

And I can’t compliment your good judgment

Unless there is some

Oh how I love you

But you’re kicking my ass

Oh how I love you

But you’re kicking my ass

And you won’t deign to take advice

You seem willing to pay any price to stay the same

To never change

You keep complaining your life just keeps staying the same.

How’s it working?

You keep on making the same mistake over again.

On purpose?

And it’s so strange, befuddling

Despite all that you learned

And all that you know that I know

You learned the hard way

Oh how I love you

But you’re kicking my ass

Oh how I love you

But you’re kicking my ass

You keep complaining your life just keeps saying the same

Alibi

Alibi,

Get down you'll fall

(Alibi)

Make a fool of yourself

(Alibi)

Regardless I'll always be here to reassemble you

(Alibi)

I'm not one to judge

Even if he were some wonderful thing full of love to give

I wouldn't stand by while you put all your dreams in line behind his

And drinks upon drinks upon drinks upon drinks never fixes it

The truth is right there when you wake up and shout out “oh lord!”

We did warn you,

Now you know.

Alibi,

Get down you'll fall

(Alibi)

Make a fool of yourself

(Alibi)

Regardless I'll always be here to reassemble you

(Alibi)

I'm not one to judge

And even if he were just half of the man that you say he is

He still hears what you say and then minimizes and erases it

And hating, berating, and blaming yourself never fixes it

The truth is still there when you wake up and shout out “oh lord!”

We did warn you,

Now you know.

You will always be my alibi

I will always be yours

It Just Keeps Coming

I ask you for an answer

Instead I get a poem

I thought we’d help each other, but I see

We’re all in this alone

And it just keeps coming

It just keeps coming

And it just keeps coming

It just keeps coming

I hate to see you suffer

But you won’t let me help

And with the weight of my own burden

I’ll need to look out for myself.

And it just keeps coming

It just keeps coming

And it just keeps coming

It just keeps coming

I hate to see you suffer

But you won’t let me help

And it just keeps coming

It just keeps coming

And it just keeps coming

It just keeps coming

Are you sure you’re sure?

Are you certain?

No Moon

I’ve stored the stars away

Feel it out, you don’t need them anyway

No moon at all to light the way

You held me

I hold the stars

You said the words

You didn’t mean them

No! No moon, no stars

Let there be dark

And the stars are mine anyway

Never doubt, I can give as well as take

No moon at all will light the way

You held me

I hold the stars

You said the words

You didn’t mean them

Yes, the stars are mine to take if I want to

I can hoard my light away

I don’t owe you.

No! No moon, no stars

Let there be dark

Too High For This

I’m too high for this

Let me get the earth beneath me

I’m too high for this

Before I lose my grip completely

I’m too high for this right now

I’m too high for this right now

Let me get straight

Give me a day

I’m just too wasted for this, Love.

In my embrace

Floating through space

Floating through space with me, Love.

Though you had all day

You said nothing

Now you corner me

And tell me these things

Now’s not the time

You see that i’m

Not up for conversation

Love, float and vibrate

Give me a day

Float in vibration with me, L.ove

When I can, you’ll get full attention

I’m only partly in this dimension
