Bad Guy

It’s a cruel world for a bad guy, it’s a hellhole for a small man, it’s a punishment for a healing, it’s a sad case for a suicide, life by fire, life by nails, hang me up, paint me red, tar and feather, electrify, born sinner, born bad, you are so loved

It’s not so bad as you think, but you’re made to feel that way by the frown on their face, turn away, turn within, let me them show, you who you’re not, you can make it, you can take it, you can be it, without being it

Ball of Thunder

Rollin’ down like a ball of thunder, gatherin’ steam like a locomotive, whistling high like a kettle, walkin’ slow like Yoda, rollin’ down like a ball of thunder

Like a man gathering speed about to make his move but she’s not lookin’ at his face at all, he feels deflated, all his plans negated, that’s why he’s got a backup plan

Hello Earth, hello people, have you found your backup plan?

Like a woman gatherin’ intel, about to make her move, but he’s not looking at her face at all

Like a cloud gatherin’ speed, like rain fallin’ down to wash away all the sins of our father’s, like see each other for the first time, like saying goodbye, like a child and his mother whose got nothin’ to do

But be with you, rollin’ down like a ball of thunder, rollin’ down like a ball of thunder

Be It Alone

It’s early morning but not too early, the birds have already sang their morning song, It’s early morning, still wakin’ dreamily, the dogs have given me morning hug-a-long

It is morning, still crying about you, the hours are waiting to be filled with walk-a-long

I’ll walk with you alone, with that said I can just be it alone

I am dreaming of what will be, if I just keep on steadily, the frogs are sining and I am skipping stones across life’s memories, I am thinking about your smile, I’ve found my smile in my heart

Life’s a gamble if you let it, with that said I can just be it alone
