Gettin Old

Turning white and I'm
Turning grey
No big deal 'cause I'm
Not afraid
Got to face it
Can't escape
That I'm gettin' old.
Fingers cramp when I
Play the chords
Late on changes and
Forget the words
I don't care, kinda'
Miss the hair
But I'm gettin' old.
Driftin' on through space and time
Memories jumbled in a jagged line
I can barely see your face.
Well I'm sorry that
We lost touch
Every day we
Give up so much
Movin' slow and
Heaven knows
I'm gettin' old.
Dropped the ball and
Misplaced the chain
Flash on stuff that I
Can't explain
Senior fare and an
Easy chair
I'm gettin' old.
SOLO
It's OK and
I'm all right
Dream in Technicolor
Every night
All I've had well
It ain't so bad
That I'm gettin' old.
All you kids I got
Some advice
Live it all and
You live it nice
What you'll get is
No regrets when
You're gettin' old.

Prisoner of Vanity

She was riding
High on reason
She took advantage of the open
season.
She was captured
By indifference
She was a prisoner of her vanity.
Chorus:
She was not OK.
She was not all right.
She had lost her way.
Lost it in the night.
She had money
Looks and power
She had a pedigree, an ivory tower.
She was heading
Toward destruction
She was a prisoner of her vanity.

12 X Me

At the end of it all
The spirit of the water
Meets the air.
At the rim of the world
Heat from the star
Becomes a cloud.
At the edge of the beach
The secret of the universe
Struggles to inhale.
At the first breath of air
The beat of the heart
Grows louder.
At the second footstep
Skin tightens
And aches.
At the start of the chase
Water drips from
The anxious brow.
At the center of the day
Sun burns
And thoughts wither.
At the end of it all
The spirit of the water
Meets the air.

Aren't you tired of all the
candies and black lace?
Don't you want the world
to be a better place?
Don't you think you could do
Better for us all?
Come on and give it a try.
Would you trade your world
for trinkets and glass beads?
Aren't you strong enough
to plant a little seed?
Don't you think you could do
Better for us all?
Come on and give it a try.

Frack and Frell

Reachin cross time cause I'm
Hopin to find some reason that I'm
Feelin some depression bout the
Latest expression of
disgust and rejection
It's a spreading infection
CHORUS
Frelling and frack, fracking and frell
Everything around me
is goin to hell
Can't go back and I can't repel
Time won’t budge
and time won't tell.
Feelin apathetic bout the
Coming election and the
instant resurrection
Of some fool politician
Feelin some aggression toward the
Old institutions
endless elocution
And capital solutions
CHORUS - BREAK RAP:
Walkin along
mindin my own business
And up comes this
guy with a petition says
I should sign to
solve some problem of
Immigration or inflation
or procrastination
Frelling wanker!
Frack off, I sez!
My sex life is
none of yer business!
SOLO
Feelin some repulsion at the
Fat cat doctrine
of more repression
And violent ascension
Feeling alarm at the
Need to arm
and avoid all harm
As the maggots swarm
Feelin some division in the
Lack of decision
and shifting positions
Of our leading statisticians
Feelin apprehensive at the
Endless unrest to my
East and my West
Come on, give it a rest!
BREAK
Feelin aghast as their
Weapons blast
us into the vast
Expanse of the past
Feelin some dread at the
Flying lead
around my head
And the talking dead
Feelin regret that we
Haven't learned yet
and we tend to forget
As we place our last bet
Feelin outta breath cause I
got nothin left
To say.
