I Looked at the Sky

Are they waiting like I'm waiting?
I looked at the Sky
Are they watching like I'm watching?
I looked at the Sky
I saw them once here
In wheel in a wheel in the middle of the air
Do they remember like I remember?
Do they wonder like I wonder?
I've seen them come before... here
In wheel in a wheel in the middle of the air
At attention I prepare for the Glory and the Power
In the years that I've been waiting I built this humble tower
Raise my hand and beckon to the Miracle of this hour
Claimed this distant vista... source of my desire
Where the Angels will return In a Chariot of fire!
I looked at the Sky
I looked at the Sky awestruck and aware
Do they remember like I remember?
Do they wonder like I wonder?
I've seen them come before... here
In wheel in a wheel in the middle of the air
At attention I prepare for the Glory and the Power
In the years that I've been waiting I built this humble tower
Raise my hand and beckon to the Miracle of this hour
Claimed this distant vista... source of my desire
Where the Angels will return In a Chariot of fire!
In wheel in a wheel in the middle of the air

Blue Tooth
Black shoes... Dark hair
Black suit... Bad news
Red face... Loud voice
Red socks Suitcase
Bluetooth in his ear
Bloodshot eyes and so I hear
Comes around this time of year
Don’t touch that gun...
it’ll make things worse
There are far worse things in this universe
Might be a shadow
Or another UFO
He’ll want to come in
Told you so....
Bluetooth in his ear
Makes me nervous when he’s near
Comes around this time of year
Black shoes... Dark hair
Black suit... Bad news
Red face... Loud voice
Red socks Suitcase
Bluetooth in his ear
and his high-tech gear

I DON’T NEED HELP
March 11, 2018 - Elkwood Street
Lying on the sidewalk at the foot of your stairs I don’t need help, I don’t need help...
Don’t push me away I know nobody cares ...I don’t need help, i don’t need help, I need answers to my prayers
Don’t give me food don’t give me drink don’t give me money I don’t need drugs
Don’t give me sympathy don’t give me blankets I don’t need hugs
don’t give me Jesus or good news I do what I choose don’t give me things that I can lose I don’t need shoes
don’t look at me with blank eyed stares I don’t need help I don’t need help I need answers to my prayers
I’m not a raving lunatic I’m not a lay about I’m not about to go when the neighbors push me out I don’t pretend to understand what it’s all about I’m not about to listen to the voices screaming doubt
I don’t need protection from the night or from the rain I avoid deception but I can’t avoid the pain I look at my reflection all the questions still remain questions have no answers of that I’m well aware I don’t need help, I don’t need help, I need answers to my prayers

IF IT HURTS AGAIN
Late February 2017 Elkwood Bar
I know I got it wrong
I know it's been too long
I can't believe you're gone
And I don't care if it hurts again
I'm just a fool without you ... without you
I don't wake at daylight
I walk the floor all night
Nothing seems quite right
And I don't care if it hurts again
I'm just a fool without you ... without you
I can't stop trembling and sweating
I spend my time regretting
It's no use forgetting
And I don't care if it hurts again
I'm just a fool without you ... without you

DESIERTO DE TU CORAZÓN
849 S. Broadway the Salon February 22nd 2017
Cuando yo
Cuando te veo
Cuando te oigo
Recuerdo que estamos separados
Caminando por el desierto de tu corazón
When I
When I see you
When i hear you
I remember we are apart
Walking through the desert of your heart

SHE DON'T LIKE ME
July 5, 2012 Elkwood bar
She don't like me for myself
She don't like me for myself
I don't mind... she don't like nobody else
She only like me for my ride
She only like me for my ride
I don't mind... So I let her step inside
She don't like me when I'm gone
She don't like me when I'm gone
She don't like me... when I'm moving on
She don't like me stay away
She don't like me stay away
She don't like me... I'll be back someday
