Sometimes she worries me And acts like she doesn't care Sometimes she hurries me And I'm in fear
But one thing she better know One thing I want to make clear I'm not down
Friendship is a beautiful thing No egos involved Love is a precious thing Nowhere can it be found
Make sure you look in the eyes Of the person you have chosen and say I'm not down
Did you ever want to jump inside another mind And rattle around? Did you ever feel the need to feel another person's Heart pound?
Now drift away from the one you love Skip the day and have some fun And if you ever feel the need to cry Well cry an ocean full of rain, then say I'm not down
What more can I ask for In this great big blue world…
All my tears they lie like rain Rolling down the street, straight into to the drain Sick of being sick and fake guitar licks Come on give it some more, somethings got to click
How I see life is to study the brush strokes Always on the look out for another big hoax I look to the far side and the farcicle waves Matted through the landscape of the Gilded Cage
But I'm all alone today And I can't escape All I got is this lonely day On video tape
Enjoy the anguish, enjoy the pain Give what life's giving you a new name Me I'm just sailing on a still sea Won't you let somebody know to rescue me!
But I'm all alone today And I can't escape All I got is this lonesome day On video tape
But I'm all alone today With my head in hands All I got is this lonesome day With too much to stand
All my tears they fall like rain Rolling down the street, straight into the drain...
Down at the Nuclear Test Site
Current mood: anxious
Category: Writing and Poetry
Let's have a party tonight, Down at the nuclear test site Will bring some beer and some food and wine We'll have our selves a hell of a time So come on everyone let's do it right Down at the nuclear test site
I'll bring my boom box and some Sonic Youth We'll shake our hips and really let loose Call all your friends and your family too To celebrate this dream that's come true So come on everyone lets take flight Down at the nuclear test site
Don't forget your dark glasses Your camera too, no need for flashes Come wave your flag and show your support For this thing they call our last resort So come on everyone witness our might Down at the nuclear test site

"I long ago abandoned the notion of a life without storms, or a world without dry and killing seasons. Life is too complicated, too constantly changing, to be anything but what it is. And I am, by nature, too mercurial to be anything but deeply wary of the grave unnaturalness involved in any attempt to exert too much control over essentially uncontrollable forces. There will always be propelling, disturbing elements, and they will be there until, as Lowell put it, the watch is taken from the wrist. It is, at the end of the day, the individual moments of restlessness, of bleakness, of strong persuasions and maddened enthusiasms, that inform one's life, change the nature and direction of one's work, and give final meaning and color to one's loves and friendships."

Not With the Way Things Are…
I can imagine a picnic for two Cotton ball clouds floatin' in an ocean of blue And nothing standing between me and you But all of these things seem so hard to see Not with the way things are, with me
Laughing and singing like children at play Like when we first met, way back in the day Things seem so simple, so simple to say But all of these things seem so hard to see Not with the way things are, with me
Lover's unite and the pictures so bright I can't even watch the sight I play my piano while life seems so banal But while I am doing so I play me a little show And everything seem back right
Now you are gone and I'm left with this song Of a longing heart that's ment no wrong Now I am thrown back, back to the throngs I think I'll stay home cause theirs no point you see Not with the way thing are, with me...
Why we go to war, another reminder
Current mood: crappy

"Naturally the common people don't want war. But after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." --- Hermann Goering, Hitler's Reich Marshall, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II.

Thoughts of You
Evening summer's sun shinning through our window I think of how my life has been with you Smile to my face as I face the rooftops And remember the days that we've been through
A thinker I am, I think of all I do And think of all I should do The wind is blowing hard but he clouds are lifting The thoughts I have these days are not so blue
Because thoughts of you Just pull me through This maze Thoughts of you Just see me through This haze
Papers full of waste that nobody can stand The good tries to outweigh the bad I cannot close my eyes and just misunderstand Can only be ignorant or sad
What keeps me going through these nuclear days? What keeps my optimism a flame? My hope in human nature is wearing pretty thin How long will this smile be on my face?
But thoughts of you I always knew Would revive me Thoughts of you Me and you Are alive in me
What have I got in my life That enlightens me? What have I got in my life That puts life in me?
Thoughts of you Thoughts of you Are my revival Thoughts of you Thoughts of you For my survival…
