Who Are You?

I don't wanna work today and spoil all our fun.
I don't wanna work today and spoil all our groovy good old times.
I know how to work it, if I show you yours then you can show me mine.
I looked out my room today and blinked at what I saw.
A thousand little soldiers marching, military, up and down my hall.
I looked out my window right into the gaping maw.
When I spun around again that army had me backed against the wall.
All the tea in China couldn't
buy your place in line
outside the ball.
Fasten all your safety belts and hold on for a freaky freaky fall.
But first this roller coaster's gonna slow down to a creepy creepy crawl.
Write down all your wishes and submit them to the gently weeping wall.
And when I make that leap I'll have to trust that you'll be there
to break my fall.
All the tea in China couldn't buy your place in line outside the
All the tea in China couldn't buy your place in line outside the ball.
Maybe what you're wishing for is learning how to walk
instead of crawl.
Standing on each others' shoulders you might just reach halfway up the wall.
And if you can admit that you are still a child you could still grow tall.

Tiny Hairs

There's a tiny little man
in a tiny little house
with a tiny little wife
for his tiny little spouse
By a tiny little choice
she wears a golden ring
has a tiny little voice
'cause he hates to hear her sing
They do a tiny dance
Wave their little limbs
Bark their tiny shins
Step on little toes and ankles
They jitterbug
They cut a rug
He gives a tug
And she just topples over
She holds to some sign of happiness
like she clutches her pocketbook
meanwhile...
Every robber can tell
she'll never let go while he's
throwing paper airplanes at her-
throwing paper airplanes till she's-
throwing paper airplanes like I said
So the tiny little man
and his tiny little spouse
gave a tiny little birth
to a tiny little louse
which falls down tiny stairs
and he swings his little fists
and he splits her tiny hairs
and she slits her little wrists
They do a tiny dance
Wave their little limbs
Bark their tiny shins
Step on little toes and ankles
They jitterbug
They cut a rug
He gives a tug
And she just topples over
He is carefully watching himself
for some sign of empathy
While she's avoiding his eyes
and every moment he's
throwing paper airplanes at her-
throwing paper airplanes till she's-
throwing paper airplanes like I said
like I said
like I said

Lithe and Blithe
You were never one to be
a momentary prophecy
If you look around you see
raining lilacs
Lithe and Blithe
Holding on to
one more drop of
Dripping blossom
raining circles
Lithe and Blithe
Underneath a canopy
of sweetly dappled melody
purple-scented harmony
Raining petals
Lithe and Blithe
Sweetly scented canopy
of drooping blossoms
overhead
Lavender blossoms in your hands
Dripping from your fingers
Lavender blossoms in the grass
Floating from our windows

Pretty light show
on the glassy
blackness of the lake
Blinking white and gold
green red globes
blue and red and strobe
Pretty light show
on the rippling
blackness of the lake
Blinking white and gold
blue and red and strobe

Evening Sun

You knew exactly what you always had
was all you'd wished for
But you'd be perfectly amazed
at what
a little moonlight might reveal.
You had to go
We always knew
But not for long
That much is true
And all my love
I give to you
It isn't much
It'll have to do
And all my love
I give to you
It isn't much
It'll have to do
until the morning dew
A rose by any other name
is thick and thorny just the same
as when the evening sun
it casts a shadow all night long
A rose by any other name
is thick and thorny just the same
as when the evening sun
it casts a shadow all night long
Long before you
witnessed that the evening sun
could cast a shadow all night long
Long before you
wrote this story
Base and holy
Small and quiet
Big and stormy
Sweet and lovely
Sick and gory
Alternating gripping, boring
Devastating, full of glory
Is it epilogue or foreword?
Tear the page out, hand it over
Read it softly to your lover
"Walk away slowly and noone gets hurt"
