December 1978

Take the day

stand in the light

Learn to pray

and close your eyes tight.

Rock gently

to the rhythym of your soul,

Never mind,

Let your insanities flow.

Reaching hands

crying eyes,

No one understands

we all live lies.

Space Case

1978 Last song for Jim

The black side

Comes out

in the backslide...

'Though you try

to avoid a slip

You slowly

lose your grip

And you slip

Tipping

backwards in time

out of midn

A Trip

of some kind

where you find

Your freedom.

I was a fool

should have stayed

in school

to learn the rules

the first time through

with you.

So, cool,

so slick,

So easy to trick

a world sick

for love

that you're the pick

of the flock,

HA!

Smoothe talk,

fancy walk,

words like chalk

so easy to erase

and then replace

without a trace

of the place

the promise was.

And face to face

you deny the rat race

You run in one place

behind your face

Just a space case

without a home base.
