Learning to fly

Into the distance, a ribbon of black stretched to the point of no turning back a flight of fancy on a wind swept field standing alone my sense reeled a fatal attraction holding me fast, how can I escape this irresistible grasp? Can’t keep my eyes from the circling sky tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I Ice is forming on the tips of my wings unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything no navigator to guide my way home unleaded, empty and turned to stone A soul in tension that's learning to fly condition grounded but determined to try Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I Above the planet on a wing and a prayer my grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air across the clouds I see my shadow fly out of the corner of my watering eye a dream unthreatened by the morning light could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There's no sensation to compare with this suspended animation, a state of bliss can't keep my mind from the circling sky tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Money

Money, get away. Get a good job with good pay and you're okay. Money, it's a gas. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash. New car, caviar, four star daydream, Think I'll buy me a football team. Money, get back. I'm all right Jack keep your hands off my stack. Money, it's a hit. Don't give me that do goody good bullshit. I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set And I think I need a Lear jet. Money, it's a crime. Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie. Money, so they say Is the root of all evil today. But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're giving none away.

Wish you were here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell Blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail?. A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get tou to trade Your heros for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange A walk for a part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, How I wish you were here We´re just two lost souls swimmingin a fish bow! Year after year. Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

Dogs

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need. You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street, You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed. And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight, You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking. And after a while, you can work on points for style. Like the club tie, and the firm handshake, A certain look in the eye and an easy smile. You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in. You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder. You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older. And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south, Hide your head in the sand, Just another sad old man, All alone and dying of cancer. And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown. And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone. And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around. So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone, Dragged down by the stone. I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused. Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used. Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise. If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze? Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend. And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner And everything's done under the sun, And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer. Who was born in a house full of pain. Who was trained not to spit in the fan. Who was told what to do by the man. Who was broken by trained personnel. Who was fitted with collar and chain. Who was given a pat on the back. Who was breaking away from the pack. Who was only a stranger at home. Who was ground down in the end. Who was found dead on the phone. Who was dragged down by the stone.
