Magic Man

In a juke -- on the bayou -- Robert Johnson tosses a coin before heading for the door -- he tips his hat -- I nod -- and a voice breaks the moment - what you staring at white boy?!?! - - I adjust the mic and half whisper - just chatting with ghosts...
I'm no Robert Johnson and will never be -- but we all have our own crossroads
========
Welcome to my crazy mind
come on in – said the water's fine
feel the potion that I'm working on
eye of newt and a little song
just trying to work my voodoo
on you on you on you
look into my eyes
let me cast my spell
Promise little baby you'll be
feeling swell feeling swell
just a little dark magic
at my finger tip
rhythm in your feet hand on your hip
so pretty little mama take my hand in yours
take a spin round this old hard wood floor
dance them demons down deep inside
let em all out as we glide and slide
just a couple lost souls all around the fire
let me be your magic man
sell my soul at your crossroads if I can
bow my head to your witchy ways
just try and hope and pray to leave a mark that stays
(rinse and repeat)

Off the Chain

Half in Half out Muscles tight lay in wait
living in a box punching clocks see the world thru iron gates
they don't want no gallows jig so they give you just enough rope
mighty dollar hoarding power writing rules and snuffing hope
CHORUS
Waiting on the snap the whip that crack your back
they steal your power if allowed and that's the only fact
let me off the chain
Hell on our minds they can't contain
let me off the chain
so let's sit crooked time to talk straight
when you ain't going nowhere you're always too late
tied down way down to the ground they hold you back
only life is under thumb boss man never cuts you slack
CHORUS
Hell in our eyes...
so sharpen teeth on steel and scrap
unwrap the chains with every single lap
loose the beast the link will break
show them all what they'll never take
CHORUS
hell in our hearts...

school's out
========
Lifting off the ground rising like slow smoke
steam fading to the cold Punchline to a killing joke
stark reminder moments ago can't erase the blood in the snow
CHORUS
Pictures that you can't erase painted pain metallic taste
bodies that we left behind in drifts of snow and
never-mind
Drew the line no more no buttons left to push
a line in stone not sand no burning bush
unmoved by time or breath do not pass go
the consequences seen in blood in the snow
CHORUS
Hackles up knuckles bare fists clenched
teeth grinding belly fire gravel throat wrenched
L train tear tracks left to show
just minor details next to blood in the snow
CHORUS
from fist from face dripping carnage that remains
shoulders rising shoulders falling labored breathing out the pain
flames
told once told twice stone line was toe'd
aftermath is written in that blood in the snow
CHORUS
Smeared lipstick harsh blush on porcelain cheeks
like rose petal deep on fresh linen sheets
hate and rage on the ground villains laid at feet
no rain in gutters for the evidence sweeped
crimson in contrast to the wings of a dove
blood on the snow is the absence of love xx
CHORUS

Congratulations! what's your secret?
========
CHORUS
I loved the half that made me happy – Ignored the half that broke my heart
Tell me your secret what made it last
bruises heal and memories of better days
forgiven or forgotten
pretending past the past
half full or not it's always half
but I'd rather shatter empty glass
mess to a minimum my mama'd say
tell me your secret what made you stay
CHORUS
I chose the warm bed – the body not the empty dent
the skin xx
and not just the scent
picked a passion
picked a poison
this one kills the mind
this one kills the spark
this one pains the stomach
but goes down easy from the start
CHORUS
Sure made more work doubled that toil and trouble
saratonin high like a market bubble
rationed rationale to suit
narrative was mind to write
where right and wrong are mute
righteousness an ego trip
kept low kept low with just that one more one last sip
CHORUS xx

aka show me yours
========
well i've been round this block before
and I've learned a thing of two
kept my eyes open looking for beauty
never found nothing quite like you
never knowing truth 'til I met those eyes
couldn't help but drop my damn disguise
so now we're naked soul bared before you
Ain't nowhere left to hid
CHORUS
You show me your I'll show you mine and we'll swim in the divine xx
Some say they know this know it so perfect
like the back of their own hand
but I look down now at bruises and knuckles scarred
memories gone like tides and sand
Walking these shorlines sweetly your hand in mine
as footprints fade where have we been
so hold on tightly thru sunsets brightly
never letting go again
CHORUS
and I just want you to lay your head down
beautiful mind layed in my hand
just drift to sleep while I hold you softly
cradle your dreams like falling sand
then swim out with me hold my heart gently
bathe beneath those dying lights
I'll tell you my truth you tell me your truth
blanket of stars to hold you tight
CHORUS

vampire survival 101 - - how to confuse the blood suckers...
========
count the laugh lines on your face
count the crazy bones how do they taste
cursing chemistry the letters in the words
count the times that I feel absurd
CHORUS
And it's funny what we count on count on
pain and rain to the infinite
and I just want – just want to know
want to know – can I count on you
take a penny leave a pound
keep the change and seeds of sound
skipping stones and ruined runs
forrest trees dying stars and sons
CHORUS
getting lost within your words
couting fine feathers on all the birds
counting birds on all the wires
sticks together stones starting fires
CHORUS
flip the coin can I count on you
8 ball shaking can I count on you
tarot turns can I count on you
crystal gazing can I count on you
CHORUS

before they're just memories
-- for APA
========
Do you remember the drive – back in 95/when both felt alive
thinking bout the cliff – where you dared me to dive/where the earth met the sky
just like the day – when we went separate ways/all born no one stays
rolled 'em down – for the wind in our hair/arms rolling not a single care
came to a stop – on a sandy shore/where no roads dare to go
we watched – the waves roll in/the sun sinking in the sea again
both picked our paths – watched you walk away/I paddled out in the bay
though we parted – I could feel the earth breathing/know you'll make a place for me again
CHORUS
I'll ride the wave deep black can't touch the bottom
I'll ride the wave cry those tears boy if you got 'em
if all else fails the currents carry me
if all else fails pray the undertow will set me free
little darling – never called you half/just want to make you smile and laugh
I know it hurts – to breathe/even just to simply be
so I keep – the light on for you/and hold a space just like I told you
made enough – if you're ever feeling hungry/if you're ever in need
all you have to do – is ask/is be you
I know I've failed
I know I've judged
I know I bullied
and hardened hearts will rarely budge
just know that I loved you
the only way I ever knew
Just know that I loved you
the only way I ever knew
CHORUS
