This circus is falling down on its knees
The big top is crumbling down
It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
Where you should be, no one's around

I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone call

These train conversations are passing me by
And I don't have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But I just had no intention of living this way

I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat

And I get no answers
And I don't get no change
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
But everything else is the same

There's things I remember and things I forget
I miss you
I guess that I should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?

I need a phone call
Maybe I should buy a new car
I can always hear a freight train
If I listen real hard
And I wish it was a small world
Because I'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
I think it's time to put the top down

I need a phone call
I need a raincoat

[for Karin]   [ every waking word ]

bye bye bella
too bad this is all so life like
so broken down
and every second
is just one more sound
that all the others dismissed
in their transmissions

splinters of these sounds
all shackled down now
all our memories of crowds & singing
forgotten with the substance
thats still dripping from our pores
too sweet to tell
which memory was best

bang bang bella
every waking word
easy as one and two
walking downtown music now
all horns and hawthorns
hushed now in our every love

how was your night and day?
every street just emptied out
in its long working ways
our still-life still moving
in circles every finger tip
meant to hush and hold
till we all reach out now
and shine just one more time

Bang

Break the skin
cause I can't tell where your body ends and mine begins
tear the flesh
woke up today feeling like some kind of masochist
you manifest you bring things to be and
your mojo witchcraft honey it's working on me
I must confess
pull, beg and plead, that I need your kiss
like the ocean needs a breeze

Oh I go off like a gun like a loaded weapon
bang, bang, bang, grip me in your hands
so here we go again it echoes in my head
bang, bang, bang, grip me in your hands
So I can feel you here with me

Soaked in sin
baptized by your kiss and now I'm born again.
bite your lip, wrap my hands around your head and pull you in
can't catch my breath sleep think or speak yeah
your mojo witchcraft honey it’s working on me
so let’s make a mess tear up these sheets
every whisper you speak sends a shiver through me

Oh I go off like a gun like a loaded weapon,
bang, bang, bang, grip me in your hands
so here we go again it echoes in my head,
bang, bang, bang, grip me in your hands
Oh I go off like a gun like a loaded weapon,
bang, bang, bang, grip me in your hands
so here we go again it echoes in my head,
bang, bang, bang, grip me in your hands

So I can feel you here with me tear the flesh
so I can feel you here with me break the skin
so I can feel you near me tear the flesh
so I'll make sure you hear me

Oh I go off like a gun like a loaded weapon,
bang, bang, bang, grip me in your hands
so here we go again it echoes in my head,
bang, bang, bang, grip me in your hands
Oh I go off like a gun like a loaded weapon,
bang, bang, bang, grip me in your hands
so here we go again it echoes in my head,
bang, bang, bang, grip me in your hands

Entropy Blade X is just something new I am working on.

since my lack of rpg work lately [yes I am an uber geek] I'm setting up an anime-distopian genre using d20BESM, so think akira, ghostintheshell, cowboy bebop, trigun, outlawstar, FFAdventChildren  meets ... blade runner, dark city, fifthelement, babylon5. Its very similar to my cyber.punk.mage days ..

umm... ya... so I've got lots to do, and its good times meeting people again..I should talk more on here, I just feel like I haven't had a lot of valid points to share...

regardless, catch you all soon.

I'm all talk this time
this burnt out man
holding down the little trappings
of your three ring
and I seriously need some sleep
need a trip
or need a whole lot more of something else
or something more

the terrible still consumes me inside
as I stand in line and know
that somewhere near and down
I'm just on that list
of one more boy ratio
as you pick and choose
our all hands beauty
