You ask what is this?
Mind your business

People tell me I haven't changed at all
But I don't feel the same
And I bet you've had that feeling too
You can't laugh all the time

"My heart is like a warmed over brownie"

-Original lyric (not mine) @ Open Mic

He doesn't talk much anymore
Just to the voices in his head

When the cold wind blows
The seeds we gather
From the gardener's glove
Live forever
Nothing dies of too much love

Tears and flowers
Dry over time
Memory leaves us
Melody and rhyme

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say, "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I remember listening to "Sail Away" by Randy Newman when I was in college , & yesterday the first couple of lines popped into my head for some reason. I decided to look up the lyrics to refresh my memory of the song and noticed the line, "Climb aboard little wog, sail away with me." I thought, "That's what he said, what's a wog?" So I looked that up. Totally changed the song for me.

In America you get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle and scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American

Ain't no lion or tiger, ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Everybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard little wog, sail away with me

Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American

Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark

Our Lord loves the family, our Lord loves the saved
Our Lord loves the unborn babies and the NRA
Our Lord hates the liberals, the faggots, and their friends
We're soldiers of Christ and we're here to defend
The way it used to be
The way it ought to be
The way it's going to be again

you know i think she used to smile like you.

I used to sometime try to catch her
but never even caught her name

I can't quit you baby
So I'm gonna put you down for awhile
I said I can't quit you baby
I guess I gotta put you down for awhile
....
My love for you I could never hide
Oh, you know I love you baby
My love for you I could never hide
Oh when I feel you near me little < girl >
I know you are my one desire
...
Oh, when you hear me, honey, baby
You know you're my one desire
Yes, you are

I'm going back to the ones that I know,
With whom I can be what I want to be.
Just one week for the feeling to go
And with you there to help me
Then it probably will.

we spotted the ocean

A little boy sat down and cried
An old man passing asked him why
He said I can't do what the big boys do
Old man sat down and he cried, too

Maybe it's tomorrow
and maybe it's not
Maybe it's yesterday
and I just forgot...
