This beast

Come on over
Don't be shy
There's something down there
Locked inside
It makes a noise
A captured beast
And on us
It would feast
If not for heavy
Locks and chains
That keep us outside
Looking in
The ones we know
Are standing by
See them stare
In monstrous eyes
What was hidden
From our sight
Is now familiar
Held in the light
It's motives open
And on display
It does hide
What it it wants
Hands that Take
From the weak
Everything
That it can
Indifferent
To sympathy
A bit like you
More like me
Do you now
Recognize
This beast I keep
Down inside

Hairless

What was that you said my friend
I heard you whisper low
If I was all covered with hair
I would let it show
But it's not right, I'm feeling white
Don't really wanna know
You've got yours and I've got mine
That much I know is true
I see the mammals, I pay the price
Just like at the zoo
I just cant tell which side of the cage
is it me or you
A walking ramp, a lighted stage
A pole on which to spin
Bulging pockets, with small change
That lies within
A little heat, a pounding beat
Some inexpensive sin

The River

Think it was you again
We were walking in the night
Until we came to the bank of a river
Rushing by
We couldn't go any further
And we can't turn back
You look at me and I know
We must cross
It's dark on this side
We can barely see
But a light shines down
On the empty space across
You take your clothes off
Then I do the same
Step into the water
Start to swim
It's cold and I'm lurching
Through the waves
I can't see you
Or the other side
My feet find the gravel
And I scramble up
Look to see if your there
Your silhouette
I didn't mean to look
But I've clearly seen
That you're deformed
The same as me
We put our shirts back on
I don't know what to say
You must have known
All along

Taken from the masses
Willingly they go
Their personal entrapments
Less important then the show
Keepers feeding on the set
Bring them in to their new cage
(it doesn't matter who will win
only that the tempers rage)
The fans are getting restless
Sitting in their sullen homes
Distracted by a baby
Or the ringing of the phone
Caesar raised his mighty hand
the host bears a smile
then the doors are opened up
And so begins the trial
Black eyed mother slings a shot
And the housewives give a cheer
Her fat husband answers back
To the booing and the jeers

How We Met
04:01

In the month of october
When the wind begins to chill
It's then I go walking
Way out in the hills
Beyond the stores and restaurants
Past the housing rows
Through the brush a dusty trail
Where a few hunters go
There is a lonely reservoir
Where the last road ends
And a certain feeling
Brings me here again
High above the city
Farther down below
I walk along from top to top
To see what they will show
Near a rock I stop to rest
And ease my ragged feet
Take a drink of water
Have a bite to eat
Just a little further on
Then I'll turn around
I saw an alpine meadow
And for it I am bound
I reach my destination
A field of grass so wide
I see a man is standing
Across the other side
The figure moves toward me
And I feel no fear
I wonder who is wandering
So far away out here
As he's coming closer
Soon we both shall meet
It see the stranger's very tall
Maybe seven feet
And now a realization
Slowly sinking in
He seems somehow familiar
Naked with red skin

Walking at night
Under the temple lights
On the long way home
The janitor grind
Destroyed what's left of my mind
soon it was easy to roll
Well oh ho here we go
Can't be worse than Idaho
And no one will know where I am
Drinking, smoking
Shooting and snorting
Still can't hold a job
Don't pay no rent
Cause I live in a tent
In the weeds out by the bay
But hey hey it's ok
I'm an artist, so they say
Sure am sick of the rain
To get me some sun
And some working done
I crossed the texas plains
Some pills I can test
Before all the rest
Plus a roof and a bed
Well how-dy set me free
All my blood and all my pee
Now will you give me a check
Out on the street
Where the tourists meet
Trying to get me a dime
I landed here
Without any fear
That forethought might provide
Hi-Ho what a show
I'd feel safer in mexico
I clean my gun every night
I rode in train
And I flew on a plane
Crossed the ocean wide
I met an old friend
But my trip was to end
In only a few weeks time
Well heave ho here I go
Where I'm bound I don't know
Maybe I don't have a home
But oh no I don't mind
I got a gallon jug of wine
Squeezed from Carlos vine
