His Will Will
Don’t you see it comin’?
Isn’t it obvious?
That slow, steady drummin’
George, are you curious?
Yep . . . that steady drumming
Election cycle, new moon
Video games and other forms of numbing
Our debt is now “Due soon!”
Baby, you can drive my car 1
“Hey! I found a brand new star!”
Come on along, were not going very far 2
More infectious than SARS
Summer’s Almost Gone 2
Summer’s burnt a trail
It wasn’t particularly long
But God’s will will prevail!
We’re into ‘Breaking Bad”
They act naturally 1
After all the fun we’ve had
The solution’s applied unilaterally
He knows when you’ve been bad or good
He knows when you’re awake 3
He’ll mete justice as He should
Harps, seals and earthquakes

Destiny Canned
Footprints in the sand
Bottle in your hand
Everything shattered
Not what you planned
You were still a girl
You were still dreaming
Your oyster: the world
Hormones teaming
You opened your heart
You opened the door
You opened your legs
You offered your core
You gave him your love
You gave him your all
You watched him in horror
He made you feel so small
He took your heart
He pocketed your youth
Sharp as a dart
Nail and tooth
Alone in the sand
Made your stand
Fantasy grand
But destiny canned

Jungle Burning Bright
Debt-free
He’s got his brand new Beemer
Yeah, he’s raking the top
This is no place for artsy dreamers
But that which can’t go forever, will stop
Oh, to be
So careless and debt-free
Up from bended knee
Biscuits and a spot of tea
Dimming sight
Dripping with sweat 1
Preaching what’s right
And pocketing what’s left
Trucks going into town
Others coming out
Economy’s up then it’s down
Makes me wanna shout!
The ghost of a smile 2
The bile of the guile
Sinister, vile
Tossed on the pile
Yet all the while
With your eye in style
“What’s one more mile?”
Blood in the Nile
I wanna get this right
Do you mind if I dial?
I understand your plight
But it’s a crime not to file

I Start Over
I’m searchin’ high
I’m searchin’ low 1
Who, what, where, why
I so rarely know
I can’t defeat you 2
I can’t even meet you
With your chipmunk cheeks
And your goony freaks
I’m on my own again
I’ve lost all my friends
Reality shatters pretend
And I’ve no idea how to mend
That girl in the red dress
The one with the slender arms
She’s so obviously blessed
With devilish charms
I start over 3
I can’t turn back
Red Rover, Red Rover
It’s confidence I lack
I used to plan for the future
Now I just try to make it through the day
Like a dissolving suture
Purpose served and slowly going away

My Summer Vacation
A trip to the prairies
Teary, beery nights
Tastier’n BC cherries
Without the sights
Oh, what I’ve seen
All that I saw
Big-league mean
Morals rubbed raw
Is it strange
I should change 1
With the bravery
Of being out of range? 2
I said what I said
And I did what I did
They carried me to bed
Just like a drunken kid
Now I’m home
I’m back at the grind
Revealed what I’ve shown
I hope you don’t mind

Showing Feelings 2

Royal Flush
I can only guess 1
Because I know not what I say
Surely you jest
And purely you pray
The sounds in my ears
Are way beyond your reach
You’re giving me the gears
Why do you get to teach?
That idiot wind 1
No, that’s not workin’
Memories securely binned
Watchin’, lurkin’
That’s exactly what death
Sounds like 2
Take another breath
Take another hike
When were you going to tell me?
When should I’ve finally known?
You, with your painted shell tree
You, shiny, black drone
