Straight Shooter

the year of living...dangerously
May 22

Sometimes, not like others...

  I use to think that there were things, Gods as it were, on my side. Now I know that's not true. I see the rest of my life piss by like a train, only to try and hold on to the second class hand-rail, and pray I don't let go. But every once in a while, things come up better then most think. I'll see myself in heaven, and hell, drinking to each of you. Hoping and dreaming you'll all drink as much as me. You are the best and worst that life has to offer. You are the life that I know, and the life that I wish I could have.

I thought she was the best...She probably was...

You can take, all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown, bag for me
Sail right around, the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey, from the bee

You can't stop us, on the road to freedom
You can't keep us, cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You know shes alright
You know shes alright with me
Shes alright, shes alright

You can take, all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around, the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because she's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

Shes as sweet as Tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
Shes my baby, you know shes alright.....

That's What It Takes

 
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as Im a ghost that you can't see
If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the endings just too hard to take

I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, lets be real
I never thought I could act this way
And Ive got to say that I just dont get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelins gone
And I just cant get it back

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just tryin to understand
The feelins that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just to get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelin's gone
And I just cant get it back

That's The Way


I don't know how I'm gonna tell you,
I can't play with you no more,
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me,
My friend, the boy next door.
I can't believe what people saying,
You're gonna let your hair hang down,
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long,
You're in the darker side of town.

And when I'm out I see you walking,
Why don't your eyes see me?
Could it be you've found another game to play,
What did mama say to me?


And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes?
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry.

I don't know what to say about it,
When all your ears are turned away,
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?

When The MAN Comes Around...


There's a man going around taking names
and he decides who to free and who to blame
Every body won't be treated quite the same
there will be a golden ladder reaching down
When the man comes around

The hairs on your arm will stand up
At the terror in each sip and each sup
Will you partake of that last offered cup
Or disappear into the potter's ground
When the man comes around

Hear the trumpets hear the pipers one hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
Its Alpha and Omegas kingdom come

And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn trees
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon no shalom no shalom

Then the father hen will call his chicken's home
The wise man will bow down before the thorn and at his feet
They will cast the golden crowns
When the man comes around

Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
Listen to the words long written down
When the man comes around
