I have a grievance
All those yesterdays are gone
And no picture kept
I have a grievance
All those yesterdays are gone
And no picture kept

Riding west along the track
The track is a mystery
Wheel will be turning right, then straight
Steer us toward the clear
"Doo do do do doo do doo, Doo do do do doo do doo..."
A Dissident when he's here
Long Road unwinding
Ponder the shadows with Ed
The Low Light has grown
Still Alive but underfed
Starved won't eat their bread
***********************************
Daughter waits no more
This was never meant for you
She knows who it's for
***********************************
Once Evenflow spreads the load
It's time to explode
Big Wave up at Breakerfall
More bricks in the wall
I did what I had to do
Obey rusted signs
His thought process was meager
Lying deceiter
**********************************
Off He Goes each day
He knows he's her Betterman
She still goes away
Needle sharp as a pencil
Last Exit spectral
*****************************
Ignoring the pain
Slip Kid out for a Whipping
Gets wet in the rain
*******************************
He's Given To Fly
Feels only Indifference
Still doesn't know why
******************************
Spin The Black Circle
Don't look for the Last Exit
Try to forget it
******************************
Hail Hail dawn of the New God
Pushin' Forward Back
************************************
When It's Just A Book
The young man wanted to know
What The Fuck Is Up
************************************
Gasping smoked air that's impure
One Breath is not sure
See what the Oceans Release
Then they Drop The Leash
******************************
Elderly Woman
Wouldn't say her former self
Before she said shelf
I know. What a way to SQUEEZE it in there, Eddie.
Haiku-challenged? :ugeek: who? says me!
seven one percent
Hover crafting Satan's Bed
Gorged on Blood not bled
"You are brilliant and the earth......"
Read it and go Wow.
Inside Job is good reason
Electric Phase stun
*************************
State Of Love And Trust
First it's boom and then it's bust
Broken hearts get crushed
**************************
State Of Love And Trust
Burns out before it can rust
Passion dries like dust
****************************
State Of Love And Trust
It's no place for cheating lust
Or fake air that's brushed
*****************************
State Of Love And Trust
You have to do what you must
When your life is rushed
*****************************
Do all that you must
For the State Of Love And Trust
There's time to adjust
Finds that love can not be found
Runs the boat aground
If I walked this road alone
I wouldn't know how
*******************************
Thou shalt not attempt
To force thy will or thy way
Unto anyone
Gets some gots sum gets it on
A leaves no tracer
just another sleight of hand
kill fears with murder
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
Gets there sooner or later
Not a speed racer
*****************************
He's a Backspacer
Wine guzzler not taster
Not a shit facer
*****************************
Where's the Backspacer
The edit cut and paster
Cross out eraser
****************************
Time for Backspacer
Not a cookie cut crazer
Beamed like a laser
Riding shotgun with phaser
Galaxy chaser
********************************
Where's the Backspacer
Drinking straight up no chaser
Who's on first baser
********************************
What's the Backspacer
A make sure just in caser
Not a lose facer
********************************
Get the Backspacer
A wore it out replacer
Amazing gracer
will we meet after the show
just a dream of mine

Right behind the stage
Throw the house lights on the choir
For twenty ten fire
On a bassman's holiday
Has so much to say
