No rest for the weary
I’m a creep chewing out your thigh
Got work in the morning
But the sun just rose, where'd the time go?
It’s all the same to me
It’s all the same, we’re all insects
Running late but I grew wings
What’s on my face? Blood type A
Sorry to my wife and kids
Went to bed with no kiss goodnight
It’s all the same to me
It’s all the same, we’re all insects

All alone out in the wheat field
While the stars look down on me
They shimmer dimmer don’t they
So bright, so dark
It’s in my brain, my eyes, my skin
One with the universe
I can’t escape this madness on this plain
Help me, someone! I’ve had enough
Sit on the tractor all day long
Head in the house before you’re gone
The colors of my mind, they run and run
Everything else turns to dust
Suddenly I hear the ending
What’s this tongue I can’t speak of
There’s a figure on the porch I can’t place...
….It has no face
No touch, no sight, no taste
Just space I take up like the stars
Horrific bellows all around
It came from me! I am the great beyond!

Welcome Mat

I’m not like the others
Just lend me your hand
I’ve picked out some dresses
to live under the sand
I’m pleasant and gentle
I’ve never been rude
Your new home is a 6 by 7 foot cube
You’re not like the rest
We really connect
With these chains I thee wed
Consumate on a soft bed
Your mother thinks you’re a celebrity
If you get bored watch yourself on the TV

Million Dollar Smile

Priceless heirlooms and all your precious jewels
Won’t amount to this
Baby’s breath and your child’s off kilter steps
Won’t bring me bliss
Your perfect family and your perfect home
And your perfect teeth shine like pearly white stones
Caught your daughter’s last birthday wish
Watched every moment on celluloid
Perched up high on a tree’s old twisted arm
I remain unseen
As the moon paints in pale blue hues
I hear howling from a beast below
Swoop down with the breeze, wings spread like disease
Silence man’s best friend, while you remain dreaming
Through the looking glass, shattered the past
Get a taste of life and now you’re all changing!
I’ve now arrived!
How dare they liken me to the tooth fairy
Do you all see?!
The beauty of your smile will be forever gleaming
