Mag Earwhig

It's too late now she's got me dreaming
Without you there is no truth according to me
Inside and around me tears got me drinking
Without you there is no scope in the morning for me
One of these days in the night
Old enemies will come back to fight
And since you would then disagree
We will be skinned alive
When full colored kings arrive
And teach then we will all we know
Bring popcorn for geronimo
And dance with our freshly made friends
Ignoring the old ones - the boring and cold ones
And when the colossus crawls west
Jazz bastards will fall and confess
We all love you so and
You rock is paradise plastic
It's cheap and fantastic!
(insert your favorite dessert _______________)

Militant babies came to me
And tole me "don't be afraid to try"
Phenomenal stuntkids in the street
Popping out of the black ghost pie (it pleases the chef)
Fearless ones-cracked up jack and jill
They're down there in the bunker still
You look like a sniper anyway
I'm not behind the fighter jet
I'd much rather back a simple girl
I've seen your plan and it's all wet
A noseload of prophecies coming to me
Caught in the trap where bravery steps
A wounded mercenary bleeds
In the hall of fantastically fine things
Where the path of glory leads
Lately i think it's grown too hard
Coming up with the winning card
But who's gonna beat them in their own backyard
(a motion to remove the entire staff.
Don't forget the double crossing crew)

There is no boy in me now
There is no time and i'm alone
But i am only breathing - breathing around
I get involved with your crowd
They make me feel so alone
If you could only see me when i'm around
But this is you and this is war
It makes me drink even more
And i'll have fun then i'll make a mark on you
I'll tell you all that i am
How simple feet will walk for free
Until you injure me again
(enter the drag queen)

Firmly rooted and quite hellbent
The old grunt packs up the hose
And pokes his nose through the old trunk trap
Hurts from years of concentration
Spent in the umpires association
Talking 'bout the next sensation
Up and coming
But now he's strumming
A buzzing one-stringer
Always quite a singer
Did his wife in the dueling banjos....
(scarred but tougher)

I am a tree - i show my age when i don't cry
I have the leaves that will fall off when wind blows by
Don't strip off my bark - i have been stripped of it before
Yesterday's gone and tomorrow has so much more in store

You are a bird - you're taking off in every way
Say the last word until there is nothing more to say

Don't interrupt - you know the squirrels are my friends
Get off my limb - for i will break before i bend

I'm planning to see
I'm planning to feel you all over me
So climb up my trunk and build on your nest
Come and get the sap out if me
I am a tree!
Fruitless and free!
No symmetry!
Touch me and see!

I am a tree - counting my rings will do no good
I won't live long but i would be with you if i could
When you take flight, remember me to one who lives there
Since you have flown, there's something special in the air
(re-zoom/busy signals from the home front)

They should never take you away
Not with all the little lines you say
Especially when you make them laugh
Come with me - believe in what you're making me
Baby, out of sadness there is pain
But your barrage of little lines is making me
Change now
Philosophers and critics of the play
We listen hard to every word we say
Especially when it makes us laugh
(outside the ordinary)

Days into weeks
She rattled my mind
We stayed out all week
And got happy this time
She fills empty space
I kinda need it that way
Crybaby says bye to me
I can't imagine that all our troubles will go away
But i could catch her and break the falls
I could snatch her with breaks and claws
Today when every "fake it"
Decides to make it
They just can't take it away
Shove it, cus i'll just stay
Like an ugly unwanted stray
Don't care what you say
(intermission)
(no more skinny cheeks
And distributors of poison)

Makes good sense to me
Proud men wear it only
Brings good company
How am i so lonely
So run away
The sun is outside of a world at play
Awaiting the solid gold display
Mysterious engines run
To keep the dream from ending
To cloak obscures the gun
To keep what's worth defending
The best of days
The ones to remember are crumbling now
The vandals come for rummage
Affordable trends in anxiety
Especially the ones that make you raw
Portable men's society!
Now i mention these things
(another date with scud)

Jane of the waking universe!
A wrinkled rose snapped back
And the flies on flowers spreading out
To all sickness of humanity
Listen to our queen as she is offering free samples
Of her lovely garden spoils
Jane of the waking universe
And undulating always like the tide
The devil's bride is calling all toward her skirt
And in the loving folds there we will hide inside
From any would be sneak attack
Until it's safe to journey back
Jane of waking universe
(repeat forever if necessary)

Strikes me as an animal
And now gone kissing
But soon be missing home
And waving at waterfalls
Too strong not to mention
With tempting extensions unknown

Oh, this time i really mean that
A cracking coat where i dig that
Oh, this time i want to keep it alone
Oh, this time i really trust you
But it can't belong to anyone
And i'd be so sad if i lost it

And the courage seekers
Of the aborted logos
Of declaration "no-go" are gone
But i'll keep a light for 'em
Hold down the fort for 'em
And wear my maroon blazer all the time
