my destiny came up dirty snake-eyes staring back at me with intensity
I was bankrupt-- busted on innocence, incense, and long on insanity
suddenly, peace shattered into ten thousand pieces and blew away in the north wind
and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
ran away and cried wee wee wee all the way home under the orange sky
while I stumbled home again naturally
I wish I could live on a star, far far away from the craziness of today way far away
time is the ultimate shooting star here now then gone
gone in seemingly seconds but we still waste so much of it
the sun and its glare was harsh as life often is
no pair of dark dark dark sunglasses helped
all these years had passed and I still didn’t know my own soul
the road kept calling to this wanderer and I always answered it
trying to run away from this perennial depression
I needed a tree to hug me real bad and tell me it was going to be alright
karma would come knocking on the door but I hid in the basement
behind the brown rusty heating oil tank not used in decades
go away - go away ////be quiet and it will go away
my life had all the gracefulness of an arctic ship crashing through ice
there was no love lost, no love found, no love anywhere around
like a cop, where was it when you needed it?
just wanted to go to bed and pull the sheets over my head
ten or twelve hours of unconsciousness was what was needed
