    @shoulda been my last Acid trip....
    Ain’t it just like the night to play tricks when you’re tryin' to be so quiet? We sit here stranded, though we’re all doin’ our best to deny it And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin’ you to defy it Lights flicker from the opposite loft In this room the heat pipes just cough The country music station plays soft But there’s nothing, really nothing to turn off Just Louise and her lover so entwined And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman’s bluff with the key chain And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the “D” train We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight Ask himself if it’s him or them that’s really insane Louise, she’s all right, she’s just near She’s delicate and seems like the mirror But she just makes it all too concise and too clear That Johanna’s not here The ghost of ’lectricity howls in the bones of her face Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously And when bringing her name up He speaks of a farewell kiss to me He’s sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all Muttering small talk at the wall while I’m in the hall How can I explain? Oh, it’s so hard to get on And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles See the primitive wallflower freeze When the jelly-faced women all sneeze Hear the one with the mustache say, “Jeeze I can’t find my knees” Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel The peddler now speaks to the countess who’s pretending to care for him Sayin’, “Name me someone that’s not a parasite and I’ll go out and say a prayer for him” But like Louise always says “Ya can’t look at much, can ya man?” As she, herself, prepares for him And Madonna, she still has not showed We see this empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler, he now steps to the road He writes ev’rything’s been returned which was owed On the back of the fish truck that loads While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain

    shoulda been a 1940's movie
    Up on the white verandaShe wears a necktie and a Panama hat Her passport shows a face From another time and place She looks nothing like that And all the remnants of her recent past Are scattered in the wild wind She walks across the marble floor Where a voice from the gambling room is callin' her to come on in She smiles, walks the other way As the last ship sails and the moon fades away From Black Diamond Bay As the morning light breaks open, the Greek comes down And he asks for a rope and a pen that will write Pardon, monsieur, the desk clerk says Carefully removes his fez Am I hearing you right And as the yellow fog is lifting The Greek is quickly heading for the second floor She passes him on the spiral staircase Thinking he's the Soviet Ambassador She starts to speak, but he walks away As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches sway On Black Diamond Bay A soldier sits beneath the fan Doing business with a tiny man who sells him a ring Lightning strikes, the lights blow out The desk clerk wakes and begins to shout Can you see anything Then the Greek appears on the second floor In his bare feet with a rope around his neck While a loser in the gambling room lights up a candle Says, open up another deck But the dealer says, attendez-vous, s'il vous plait As the rain beats down and the cranes fly away From Black Diamond Bay The desk clerk heard the woman laugh As he looked around the aftermath and the soldier got tough He tried to grab the woman's hand Said, here's a ring, it cost a grand She said, that ain't enough Then she ran upstairs to pack her bags While a horse-drawn taxi waited at the curb She passed the door that the Greek had locked Where a handwritten sign read, do not disturb She knocked upon it anyway As the sun went down and the music did play On Black Diamond Bay I've got to talk to someone quick But the Greek said, go away, and he kicked the chair to the floor He hung there from the chandelier She cried, help, there's danger near Please open up the door Then the volcano erupted And the lava flowed down from the mountain high above The soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the corner Thinking of forbidden love But the desk clerk said, it happens every day As the stars fell down and the fields burned away On Black Diamond Bay As the island slowly sank The loser finally broke the bank in the gambling room The dealer said, it's too late now You can take your money, but I don't know how You'll spend it in the tomb The tiny man bit the soldier's ear As the floor caved in and the boiler in the basement blew While she's out on the balcony, where a stranger tells her My darling, je vous aime beaucoup She sheds a tear and then begins to pray As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away From Black Diamond Bay I was sitting home alone one night in L.A. Watching old Cronkite on the seven o'clock news It seems there was an earthquake that Left nothing but a Panama hat And a pair of old Greek shoes Didn't seem like much was happening So I turned it off and went to grab another beer Seems like every time you turn around There's another hard-luck story that you're gonna hear And there's really nothing anyone can say And I never did plan to go anyway To Black Diamond Bay

    breaks my heart every time...
    I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actressWhen you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet And it hardened like my heart did when you left town But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom It's a bed and a bathroom And a place for the end I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

    Going to FTW helped me better understand my Deadhead father
    For the longest time, I had trouble understanding how my father—a stern, quick-to-anger disciplinarian—could also be a Deadhead. So when the Dead announced Fare Thee Well last year, I made sure to buy tickets and fly home to Chicago to attend shows with my dad. I wanted to witness a side of him I knew existed, but never quite understood. And I write about that experience here: https://features.wearemel.com/my-disciplinarian-father-the-deadhead-cc7…

    Forever Grateful, and Thankful
    You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurantYou can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant Walk right in, it's around the back Just a half a mile from the railroad track You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant... This song is called "Alice's Restaurant." It's about Alice, and the restaurant, but "Alice's Restaurant" is not the name of the restaurant, that's just the name of the song. That's why I call the song "Alice's Restaurant." Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago... two years ago, on Thanksgiving, when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the restaurant. But Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in the church nearby the restaurant, in the bell tower with her husband Ray and Facha, the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of room downstairs where the pews used to be, and havin' all that room (seein' as how they took out all the pews), they decided that they didn't have to take out their garbage for a long time. We got up here and found all the garbage in there and we decided that it'd be a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. So we took the half-a-ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW microbus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction, and headed on toward the city dump. Well, we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across the dump sayin', "This dump is closed on Thanksgiving," and we'd never heard of a dump closed on Thanksgiving before, and with tears in our eyes, we drove off into the sunset lookin' for another place to put the garbage. We didn't find one till we came to a side road, and off the side of the side road was another fifteen-foot cliff, and at the bottom of the cliff was another pile of garbage. And we decided that one big pile was better than two little piles, and rather than bring that one up, we decided to throw ours down. That's what we did. Drove back to the church, had a Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep, and didn't get up until the next morning, when we got a phone call from Officer Obie. He said, "Kid, we found your name on a envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of garbage and I just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And I said, "Yes sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie. I put that envelope under that garbage." After speakin' to Obie for about forty-five minutes on the telephone, we finally arrived at the truth of the matter and he said that we had to go down and pick up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him at the Police Officer Station. So we got in the red VW microbus with the shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the Police Officer Station. Now, friends, there was only one of two things that Obie could've done at the Police Officer Station, and the first was that he could've given us a medal for bein' so brave and honest on the telephone (which wasn't very likely, and we didn't expect it), and the other thing was that he could've bawled us out and told us never to be seen drivin' garbage around in the vicinity again, which is what we expected. But when we got to the Police Officer Station, there was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we was both immediately arrested, handcuffed, and I said, "Obie, I can't pick up the garbage with these here handcuffs on." He said: "Shut up kid, and get in the back of the patrol car." And that's what we did . . . sat in the back of the patrol car, and drove to the quote scene of the crime unquote. I wanna tell you 'bout the town of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where this is happenin'. They got three stop signs, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to the scene of the crime, there was five police officers and three police cars, bein' the biggest crime of the last fifty years and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it. And they was usin' up all kinds of cop equipment that they had hangin' around the Police Officer Station. They was takin' plaster tire tracks, footprints, dog-smellin' prints and they took twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explainin' what each one was, to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach, the getaway, the northwest corner, the southwest corner . . . and that's not to mention the aerial photography! After the ordeal, we went back to the jail. Obie said he was gonna put us in a cell. He said: "Kid, I'm gonna put you in a cell. I want your wallet and your belt." I said, "Obie, I can understand your wantin' my wallet, so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but what do you want my belt for?" and he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangin's." I said, "Obie, did you think I was gonna hang myself for litterin'?" Obie said he was makin' sure, and, friends, Obie was, 'cause he took out the toilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he took out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars, roll the toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape. Obie was makin' sure. It was about four or five hours later that Alice--(remember Alice? There's a song about Alice.)--Alice came by and, with a few nasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back to the church, had another Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, and didn't get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court. We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, sat down. Man came in, said, "All rise!" We all stood up, and Obie stood up with the twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy pictures, and the judge walked in, sat down, with a seein' eye dog and he sat down. We sat down. Obie looked at the seein' eye dog . . . then at the twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one . . . and looked at the seein' eye dog . . . and then at the twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each on and began to cry. Because Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American blind justice, and there wasn't nothin' he could do about it, and the judge wasn't gonna look at the twenty-seven 8 by 10 colored glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explainin' what each one was, to be used as evidence against us. And we was fined fifty dollars and had to pick up the garbage... in the snow. But that's not what I'm here to tell you about. I'm here to talk about the draft. They got a buildin' down in New York City called Whitehall Street, where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected! I went down and got my physical examination one day, and I walked in, sat down (got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning, 'cause I wanted to look like the All-American Kid from New York City. I wanted to feel like . . . I wanted to be the All-American Kid from New York), and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up and all kinds of mean, nasty, ugly things. And I walked in, I sat down, they gave me a piece of paper that said: "Kid, see the psychiatrist in room 604." I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I wanna kill. I wanna kill! I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth! Eat dead, burnt bodies! I mean: Kill. Kill!" And I started jumpin' up and down, yellin' "KILL! KILL!" and he started jumpin' up and down with me, and we was both jumpin' up and down, yellin', "KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!" and the sergeant came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said "You're our boy". Didn't feel too good about it. Proceeded down the hall, gettin' more injections, inspections, detections, neglections, and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to me at the thing there, and I was there for two hours... three hours... four hours... I was there for a long time goin' through all kinds of mean, nasty, ugly things, and I was just havin' a tough time there, and they was inspectin', injectin', every single part of me, and they was leavin' no part untouched! Proceeded through, and I finally came to see the very last man. I walked in, sat down, after a whole big thing there. I walked up, and I said, "What do you want?" He said, "Kid, we only got one question: Have you ever been arrested?" And I proceeded to tell him the story of Alice's Restaurant Massacree with full orchestration and five-part harmony and stuff like that, and other phenomenon. He stopped me right there and said, "Kid, have you ever been to court?" And I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one . . . He stopped me right there and said, "Kid, I want you to go over and sit down on that bench that says 'Group W'." And I walked over to the bench there, and there's... Group W is where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after committin' your special crime. There was all kinds of mean, nasty, ugly-lookin' people on the bench there . . . there was mother-rapers . . . father-stabbers . . . father-rapers! FATHER-RAPERS sittin' right there on the bench next to me! And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible and crime fightin' guys were sittin' there on the bench, and the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one . . . the meanest father-raper of them all . . . was comin' over to me, and he was mean and ugly and nasty and horrible and all kinds of things, and he sat down next to me. He said, "Kid, what'd you get?" I said, "I didn't get nothin'. I had to pay fifty dollars and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?" and I said, "Litterin'"' . . . . And they all moved away from me on the bench there, with the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean, nasty things, till I said, "And creatin' a nuisance . . . " And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench talkin' about crime, mother-stabbin', father-rapin', . . . all kinds of groovy things that we was talkin' about on the bench, and everything was fine. We was smokin' cigarettes and all kinds of things, until the sergeant came over, had some paper in his hand, held it up and said: "KIDSTHISPIECEOFPAPERSGOTFOURTYSVENPAGESTHIRTYSEVENSENTENCESFIFTYEIGHTWORDSWEWANTTOKNOWTHEDETAILSOFTHECRIMETHETIMEOFTHECRIMEANDANYOTHERKINDOFTHINGYOUGOTTOSAYPERTAININGTOANDABOUTTHECRIMEWEWANTTOKNOWTHEARRESTINGOFFICERSNAMEANDANYOTHERTHINGYOUGOTTOSAY . . ." And he talked for forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said. But we had fun fillin' out the forms and playin' with the pencils on the bench there. I filled out the Massacree with the four-part harmony. Wrote it down there just like it was and everything was fine. And I put down my pencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there . . . on the other side . . . in the middle of the other side . . . away from everything else on the other side . . . in parentheses . . . capital letters . . . quotated . . . read the following words: "Kid, have you rehabilitated yourself?" I went over to the sergeant. Said, "Sergeant, you got a lot of god-damned gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself! I mean . . . I mean . . . I mean that you send . . . I'm sittin' here on the bench . . . I mean I'm sittin' here on the Group W bench, 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough to join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind! We're gonna send your fingerprints off to Washington"! And, friends, somewhere in Washington, enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'm singin' you the song now is 'cause you may know somebody in a similar situation. Or you may be in a similar situation, and if you're in a situation like that, there's only one thing you can do: Walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in, say, "Shrink, . . . you can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant", and walk out. You know, if one person, just one person, does it, they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And if three people do it! Can you imagine three people walkin' in, singin' a bar of "Alice's Restaurant" and walkin' out? They may think it's an organization! And can you imagine fifty people a day? I said FIFTY people a day . . . walkin' in, singin' a bar of "Alice's Restaurant" and walkin' out? Friends, they may think it's a MOVEMENT, and that's what it is: THE ALICE'S RESTAURANT ANTI-MASSACREE MOVEMENT! . . . and all you gotta do to join is to sing it the next time it comes around on the guitar. With feelin'... You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant Walk right in, it's around the back Just a half a mile from the railroad track You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant...

    I scare myself just thinking about youI scare myself when I'm without you I scare myself the moment that you're going I scare myself when I let my thoughts run And when they're running I keep thinking of you And when they're running What can I do? I scare myself, and I don't mean lightly I scare myself, it can get frightening I scare myself, to think what I could do I scare myself it's some kind of voodoo And with that voodoo I keep thinking of you And with that voodoo What can I do? But it's so so very different when we're together And I'm so so much calmer; I feel better Cause the stars already crossed our paths forever And the sooner that you realize it the better And then I'll be with you and I won't scare myself And I'll know what to do and I won't scare myself And my thoughts will run and I won't scare myself And I'll think of you and I won't scare myself

and the music kepps on playin on and on... You came to me just like a song You changed the rhythm of my heart You are the symphony that plays You are the music of my life A haunting theme that never ends You're spinning round inside my brain You're like a magical refrain You are the music of my life I never want your song to end I need your touch to comfort me Just like a thousand violins You are the song my melody I want your tune to linger on A never-ending serenade A chandler rhapsody that plays You are the music of my life I'll never love this way again Don't ever change the song you sing And when you speak the church bells chime A love like yours I'll never find The song will take us high To another place I know our special love Can still survive through time and space And if the song should ever end My heart will never be the same The song will always speak your name You are the music of my life The song will always speak your name You are the music of my life it's about all the music that we share!

I shared the stage with Jerry for 35 years and think about him every time I pick up my guitar. This special coming together is one way to celebrate all that Jerry has given us - to feel alive and good with Jerry's spirit and smile. Happy Birthday Bob.....guess I'm not the only one who misses Jerry..... Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man look at my life, Twenty four and there's so much more Live alone in a paradise That makes me think of two. Love lost, such a cost, Give me things that don't get lost. Like a coin that won't get tossed Rolling home to you. Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true. Lullabies, look in your eyes, Run around the same old town. Doesn't mean that much to me To mean that much to you. I've been first and last Look at how the time goes past. But I'm all alone at last. Rolling home to you. Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true. Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were.

You make me feel so young You make me feel so spring has sprung And every time I see you grin I'm such a happy individual The moment that you speak I wanna go play hide-and-seek I wanna go and bounce the moon Just like a toy balloon You and I are just like a couple of tots Running across the meadow Picking up lots of forget-me-nots You make me feel so young You make me feel there are songs to be sung Bells to be rung and a wonderful fling to be flung And even when I'm old and gray I'm gonna feel the way I do today 'Cause you make me feel so young You make me feel so young You make me feel so spring has sprung And every time I see you grin I'm such a happy individual The moment that you speak I wanna go play hide-and-seek I wanna go and bounce the moon Just like a toy balloon You and I are just like a couple of tots Running across the meadow Picking up lots of forget-me-nots You make me feel so young You make me feel there are songs to be sung And bells to be rung And a wonderful fling to be flung And even when I'm old and gray I'm gonna feel the way I do today 'Cause you, you make me feel so young You make me feel so young [x2] Ooh, you make me feel so young

My grandfather is not doing very well... Please send him your love and vibes I dont know what else to play so here is a song for him. I was walking home from school, on a cold winter day Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way It was getting late, and I was scared and alone But then a kind old man, took my hand, and led me home Mama couldn't see him, oh but he was standing there And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers Oh I believe there are, angels among us Sent down to us, from somewhere up above They come to you and me, in our darkest hours To show us how to live, to teach us how to give To guide us with the light of love When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees There's always been someone, to come along, and comfort me A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand A phone call from a friend, just to say, I understand But ain't it kind of funny, at the dark end of the road That someone lights the way, with just a single ray of hope Oh I believe there are, angels among us Sent down to us, from somewhere up above They come to you and me, in our darkest hours To show us how to live, to teach us how to give To guide us with the light of love They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need Oh I believe there are, angels among us Sent down to us, from somewhere up above They come to you and me, in our darkest hours To show us how to live, to teach us how to give To guide us with the light of love To guide us with a light of love

Very sorry for the news..... I prefer to view this in a different manner..... Half a mile from the county fair And the rain keep pourin' down Me and Billy standin' there With a silver half a crown Hands are full of a fishin' rod And the tackle on our backs We just stood there gettin' wet With our backs against the fence Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Hope it don't rain all day [Chorus:] And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me Then the rain let up and the sun came up And we were gettin' dry Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by So we jumped right in and the driver grinned And he dropped us up the road We looked at the swim and we jumped right in Not to mention fishing poles Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Let it run all over me [Chorus] On the way back home we sang a song But our throats were getting dry Then we saw the man from across the road With the sunshine in his eyes Well he lived all alone in his own little home With a great big gallon jar There were bottles too, one for me and you And he said Hey! There you are Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Get it myself from the mountain stream Be grateful for what you have and have had.....there ain't no going back.....will pray for what is best....

Thanks. gotta go home. I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone; I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone; Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms. Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest; Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest; My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the West. The Sun will shine in my back door someday. The Sun will shine in my back door someday. March winds will blow all my troubles away. I wish I was a headlight, on a North bound train; I wish I was a headlight, on a North bound train; I'd shine my light through cool Colorado rain. I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone; I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone; Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms. I appreciate you.

Thanks for the well wishes, Gramps is OK for now. Whoa-oh-oh-woah-ahh There she stood in the street smilin' from her head to her feet; I said, "Hey, what is this? Now baby, maybe, maybe she's in need of a kiss." I said, "Hey, what's your name? Maybe we can see things the same." "Now don't you wait, or hesitate Let's move before they raise the parking rate." Ohh All right now, baby, it's a-all right now. All right now, baby, it's a-all right now. (Let me tell you now) I took her home to my place, Watchin' every move on her face; She said, "Look, what's your game, baby? Are you tryna' put me to shame?" I said "Slow, don't go so fast, don't you think that love can last?" She said, "Love, Lord above, now you're tryna' trick me in love." All right now, baby, it's a-all right now. All right now, baby, it's a-all right now. Whoo, oh yeah All right now, baby, it's a-all right now, yeah All right now, baby, it's a-all right now All right now, baby, it's a-a-all right now All right n-now, baby baby baby it's all right All right now, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right All right now, baby, it's a-all right now Yeah, we're so happy together It's all right, it's all right it's all right Everything's all right

A picture postcard A folded stub A program of the play File away your photographs Of your holiday And your mementos Will turn to dust But that's the price you pay For every year's a souvenir That slowly fades away Every year's a souvenir That slowly fades away

There's a time for feelin' as good as we can The time is now and there's no stoppin' us There's a time for livin' as high as we can Behind us you will only see our dust You know we're havin' good days And we hope they're gonna last Our future still looks brighter than our past We feel no need to worry No reason to be sad Our mem'ries remind us Maybe road life's not so bad Just keep smilin', move onward every day And try to keep our thoughts away from home We're trav'lin' around, no time to settle down And satisfy our wanderlust to roam Well from sea to shining sea and a hundred points between Still we go on diggin' ev'ry show The cities in the land all extend a welcome hand Till morning when it's time for us to go

A great technique to master, helps one live in the moment..... Well, you say you've got the blues You've got holes in both your shoes, yeah You're feeling alone and confused You got to keep on smilin', just keep on smilin' Yeah, you're 'bout to go insane 'Cause your woman's playin' games And she says that you're to blame Just keep on smilin' Keep on smilin' through the rain Laughin' at the pain Just flowin' with the changes Till the sun comes out again Singin' in a honkey tonk cafe But nobody's hearin' what you play They're too busy drinkin' anyway You gotta keep on smilin' Say you found a piece of land You're gonna change from city boy To country man, yeah Try to build your life with your hands And just keep on smilin', keep on smilin' Keep on smilin' through the rain Laughin' at the pain Just flowin' with the changes Till the sun comes out again You're just hangin' out at a local bar And you're wonderin', who the hell you are? Are you a farmer? Are you a star? Smile on through the rain Laugh through all the pain Flow on with the changes Till the sun shines out again Keep on smilin', smilin', laughin', laughin' Flowin', flowin', flowin', flowin'

I do try to keep my mind in fullness whenever possible. And I never thought I'd feel this way And as far as I'm concerned I'm glad I got the chance to say That I do believe I love you And if I should ever go away Well then close your eyes and try To feel the way we do today And then if you can remember Keep smiling, keep shining Knowing you can always count on me, for sure That's what friends are for For good times and bad times I'll be on your side forever more That's what friends are for Well you came in loving me And now there's so much more I see And so by the way I thank you Oh and then for the times when we're apart Well then close your eyes and know The words are coming from my heart And then if you can remember

I got no means to show identificationI got no papers show you what I am You'll have to take me just the way that you find me What's gone is gone and I do not give a damn Empty stomach, empty head I got empty heart and empty bed I don't remember I don't remember I don't remember, I don't recall I got no memory of anything at all I don't remember, I don't recall I got no memory of anything -anything at all Strange is your language and I have no decoder Why don't you make your inentions clear With eyes to the sun and your mouth to the soda Saying, "Tell me the truth, you got nothing to fear Stop staring at me like a bird of prey I'm all mixed up, I got nothing to say I don't remember I don't remember I don't remember, I don't recall I got no memory of anything at all I don't remember, I don't recall I got no memory of anything Anything at all I don't remember, I don't recall I got no memory of anything at all I don't remember, I don't recall i got no memory of anything absolutely anything at all I don't remember

After seeing your Van Hagar post, my mind goes immediately to this very obscure Lou Reed tune later covered by Peter Gabriel....encourage you to seek it out.... You and me we always sweat and we strain you look for sun and I look for rain we're different people, we're not the same the power of the sun I looked for treetops, you looked for caps above the water, where the waves snap back I flew around the world to bring you back ah the power of the heart you looked at me and I looked at you the sleeping heart was shining through the wispy cobwebs that we're breathing through the power of the heart I looked at you and you looked at me I thought of the past, you thought of what could be I asked you once again to marry me the power of the heart Everybody says love makes the world go round I hear a bubbling and I hear a sound of my heart beating and I turn around and find you standing at the door you know me I like to dream a lot of this and that and what is not and finally I figured out what was what it was the power of the heart You and me we sweat and strain the result is always the same you think somehow we're in a game the power of the heart the power of the heart I think I'm dumb I know you're smart the beating of a purebred heart I say this to you and it's not a lark marry me today You know me I like to dream a lot of what there is and what there's not but mainly I dream of you a lot the power of the heart the power of the heart I miss Lou Reed ..... but I really miss Jerry.....

The power of love is a curious thing make a one man weep, make another man sing Change a hawk to a little white dove more than a feeling that's the power of love Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream make a bad one good make a wrong one right power of love that keeps you home at night [Chorus 1:] You don't need money, don't take fame Don't need no credit card to ride this train It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes but it might just save your life That's the power of love That's the power of love First time you feel it, it might make you sad Next time you feel it it might make you mad But you'll be glad baby when you've found that's the power makes the world go'round [Chorus 2:] And it don't take money, don't take fame don't need no credit card to ride this train It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes but it might just save your life They say that all in love is fair yeah, but you don't care But you know what to do when it gets hold of you and with a little help from above you feel the power of love you feel the power of love Can you feel it? Hmmm [Chorus 3:] It don't take money and it don't take fame don't need no credit card to ride this train Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel you won't feel nothin' till you feel you feel the power, just the power of love That's the power, that's the power of love You feel the power of love you feel the power of love feel the power of love

Just one more mornin'I had to wake up with the blues Pulled myself outta bed, yeah Put on my walkin' shoes, Went up on the mountain, To see what I could see, The whole world was fallin', right down in front of me. 'Cause I'm hung up on dreams I'll never see, yeah Baby. Ahh help me baby, or this will surely be the end of me, yeah. Pull myself together, put on a new face, Climb down off the hilltop, baby, Get back in the race.

Spare a little candle Save some light for me figures up ahead Moving in the trees White skin in linen Perfume on my wrist And the full moon that hangs over these dreams in the mist Darkness on the edge Shadows where I stand I search for the time On a watch with no hands I want to see you clearly Come closer than this But all I remember Are the dreams in the mist These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away Is it cloak 'n dagger Could it be spring or fall I walk without a cut Through a stained glass wall Weaker in my eyesight The candle in my grip And words that have no form Are falling from my lips These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away There's something out there I can't resist I need to hide away from the pain There's something out there I can't resist The sweetest song is silence That I've ever heard Funny how your feet In dreams never touch the earth In a wood full of princes Freedom is a kiss But the prince hides his face From dreams in the mist These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

Now here you go againYou say you want your freedom Well, who am I to keep you down? It's only right that you should Play the way you feel it But listen carefully to the sound Of your loneliness Like a heartbeat.. drives you mad In the stillness of remembering what you had And what you lost... And what you had... And what you lost [Chorus:] Thunder only happens when it's raining Players only love you when they're playing Say... Women... they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean... you'll know, you'll know Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions I keep my visions to myself It's only me Who wants to wrap around your dreams and... Have you any dreams you'd like to sell? Dreams of loneliness... Like a heartbeat... drives you mad... In the stillness of remembering what you had... And what you lost... And what you had... And what you lost [Chorus 2x]

hahahaha, I think you could find a way to market that...Cerebral Massage! Sunlight bright upon my pillow Lighter than an eiderdown Will she let the weeping willow Wind his branches round Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams Every night I turn the light out Waiting for the velvet bride Will the scaly armadillo Find me where I'm hiding Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams Will the misty master break me Will the key unlock my mind Will the following footsteps catch me Am I really dying Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman Tiptoes to my room every night Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper "Go to sleep. Everything is all right." I close my eyes, then I drift away Into the magic night. I softly say A silent prayer like dreamers do Then I fall asleep to dream, my dreams of you In dreams I walk with you, in dreams I talk to you In dreams you're mine, all of the time We're together in dreams, in dreams But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone I can't help it, I can't help it, if I cry I remember that you said goodbye It's too bad that all these things Can only happen in my dreams Only in dreams, in beautiful dreams bonne nuit, mon'amie

Here comes the woman With the look in her eye Raised on leather With flesh on her mind Words as weapons sharper than knives Makes you wonder how the other half die Other half die Here come the man With the look in his eye Fed on nothing But full of pride Look at them go Look at them kick Makes you wonder how the other half live The devil inside The devil inside Every single one of us the devil inside The devil inside The devil inside Every single one of us the devil inside Here come the world With the look in its eye Future uncertain but certainly slight Look at the faces Listen to the bells It's hard to believe we need a place called hell

...but I have a feeling I know where this is headed.... nice avatar, very festive Come on down from the top of the mountain, flowing Doin' the slow slide into town, keep on going Darkness dancers get down, heavily hoping Stroking the stone soul, loving, drinking and doping Like a blind moth looking for color in the lights Dance in the spotlight, I feel alright Just my devil, my devil delight I've seen those midnight ladies just for the moment's using She keep on playing, never know whether she's losing it He got those sexy green eyes, clicking the trigger, no warning It's all gonna come rolling back in the morning You might feel me burning all night Like a dirty demon daughter, don't put up no fight I dance in the spotlight, I'm alright It's just my devil, my devil delight Lover and fool, glass and jewel, the potion Comedy, tragedy, making the game, emotion On your toes, do the gambling roll for your fortune We fall for love from up above to the ocean

In the distance, she saw me comin' roundI was callin' out, I was callin' out. Still shakin', still in pain You put me back together again. I was cold and you clothed me, honey I was down, and you lifted me, honey. Angel, angel or devil? I was thirsty And you wet my lips. You, I'm waiting for you You, you set my desire I trip through your wires. I was broken, bent out of shape I was naked in the clothes you made. Lips were dry, throat like rust You gave me shelter from the heat and the dust. No more water in the well No more water, water. Angel, angel or devil? I was thirsty And you wet my lips. You, I'm waiting for you You, you set my desire I trip through your wires. Oh I need, oh I need Oh I need, oh I need it. Oh I need, oh I need All I need, yeah, yeah! Thunder, thunder on the mountain There's a raincloud In the desert sky. In the distance She saw me comin' round I was callin' out I was callin' out.

I've had nothing but bad luck Since the day I saw the cat at my door So I came into you sweet lady Answering your mystical call Crystal ball on the table Showing the future, the past Same cat with them evil eyes And I knew it was a spell she cast She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you... She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you from behind... Give me the ring on your finger Let me see the lines on your hand I can see me a tall dark stranger Giving you what you hadn't planned I drank the potion she offered me I found myself on the floor Then I looked in those big green eyes And I wondered what I came there for... She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you... She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you from behind... If you're out on a moonlit night Be careful of them neighbourhood strays Of a lady with long black hair Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways Crystal ball on the table Showing the future, the past Same cat with them evil eyes You'd better get out of there fast... She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you... She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you... She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you... She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you... She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you... She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you...

pun intended..... before the Dead, Wake of the Flood being the first LP of theirs I heard, I was hooked.....but I digress.... before the Dead there was Deep Purple and Sabbath.....how I went from point A to Jerry so quickly, I have no idea....but to this day, this is the title track to one of my favorite albums..... The sky is red, I don't understand, past midnight I still see the land. People are sayin' the woman is damned, she makes you burn with a wave of her hand. The city's a blaze, the town's on fire. The woman's flames are reaching higher. We were fools, we called her liar. All I hear is "Burn!" I didn't believe she was devil's sperm. She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn! When I leave there's no return." The people laughed till she said, "Burn!" Warning came, no one cared. Earth was shakin', we stood and stared. When it came no one was spared. Still I hear "Burn!" You know we had no time, we could not even try. You know we had no time. You know we had no time, we could not even try. You know we had no time. The sky is red, I don't understand, past midnight I still see the land. People are sayin' the woman is damned, she makes you burn with a wave of her hand. Warning came, no one cared. Earth was shakin, we stood and stared. When it came no one was spared. Still I hear "Burn!"

There's a place just south of Witches' Valley Where they say the wind won't blow And they only speak in whispers of her name There's a lady they say who feeds the darkness It eats right from her hand With a crying shout she'll search you out And freeze you where you stand Lady Evil, evil She's a magical, mystical woman Lady Evil, evil in my mind She's queen of the night All right! In a place just south of Witches' Valley Where they say the rain won't fall Thunder cracks the sky, it makes you bleed, yeah There's a lady they say who needs the darkness She can't face the light With an awful shout, she'll find you out And have you for the night Lady Evil, evil She's a magical, mystical woman Lady Evil, evil on my mind She's queen of the night So if you ever get to Witches' Valley Don't dream or close your eyes And never trust your shadow in the dark 'Cause there's a lady I know who takes your vision And turns it all around The things you see are what to be, lost and never found Lady Evil, evil She's a magical, mystical woman Lady Evil, evil on my mind She's queen of the night She's the queen of sin Look out, she'll pull you in! Lady wonder!

some comic relief... The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn, Burn motherfucker burn. Hello my name is Jimmy Pop and I'm a dumb white guy, I'm not old or new but middle school fifth grade like junior high, I don't know mofo if y'all peeps be buggin' give props to my ho cause she all fly, But I can take the heat cause I'm the other white meat known as 'Kid Funky Fried', Yeah I'm hung like planet Pluto hard to see with the naked eye, But if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don't shine, Cause I'm kind of like Han Solo always stroking my own wookie, I'm the root of all that's evil yeah but you can call me cookie, The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn, Burn motherfucker burn. Yo yo this hard-core ghetto gangster image takes a lot of practice, I'm not black like Barry White no I am white like Frank Black is, So if man is five and the devil is six than that must make me seven, This honkey's gone to heaven, But if I go to hell then I hope I burn well, I'll spend my days with J.F.K., Marvin Gaye, Martha Raye, and Lawrence Welk, And Kurt Cobain, Kojak, Mark Twain and Jimi Hendrix's poltergeist, And Webster yeah Emmanuel Lewis cause he's the anti-christ, The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn, Burn motherfucker burn. Everybody here we go, Ohh Ohh, C'mon party people, Ohh Ohh, Throw your hands in the air, Ohh Ohh, C'mon party people, Ohh Ohh, Wave 'em like you don't care, Ohh Ohh, C'mon party people, Ohh Ohh, Everbody say ho, Ohh Ohh, C'mon party people, Ohh Ohh, Everybody here we go.

just roll Charlie around in the grass...LOL And now Halloween radio returns... This song may or may not have precipitated my first "bad trip" The corpses all hang headless and limp Bodies with no surprises And the blood drains down like devil's rain We'll bathe tonight I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls Demon I am and face I peel To see your skin turned inside out, 'cause Gotta have you on my wall Gotta have you on my wall, 'cause I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls Go Collect the heads of little girls and Put 'em on my wall Hack the heads off little girls and Put 'em on my wall Oh oh I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls Whoa

I've been stuck in the dark Stumbling around reaching out for my heart Wondering just how I allowed you to turn the light out inside of me You've got tricks up your sleeve And got the power to keep me intrigued Well I guess I should have known I guess I should have seen That you would pull the love right from underneath Under your love spell I'm just trying to forget you But nobody compares nobody even close baby You got that logic I need and it's holding me hostage And now I've just become prisoner to your love baby Well I'm trying to let go But I don't know how Won't you set me free give me the remedy For this love spell Love spell Should have heard what they said When they told me I end up caught in your web I thought that I was strong Don't know what went wrong But now I'm frozen in your captivity Under your love spell I'm just trying to forget you But nobody compares nobody even close baby You got that logic I need and it's holding me hostage And now I've just become prisoner to your love baby Well I'm trying to let go But I don't know how Won't set me free I need a remedy From this love spell that you cast over me I can't speak I can't see I've been poisoned with romance And it's cruel cause you know what your doing When you cast this illusion, that I stand a chance But I'm just standing... Under your love spell I'm just trying to forget you But nobody compares nobody even close You got that logic I need And I can't let go Won't you set me free I need a remedy For this love spell Love spell Love spell Please set me free

So many versions of this song but my favorite version is over the top......Vanilla Fudge..... This orchestration must have inspired Meatloaf......I love Meatloaf...... Set me free, why don't cha, babe Get out my life, why don't cha, babe 'Cause you don't really love me You just keep me hangin' on You don't really need me But you keep me hangin' on Why do you keep on coming around Playing with my heart? Why don't you get out of my life And let me make a new start? Let me get over you The way you've gotten over me Hey, set me free, why don't cha, babe Let me be, why don't cha, babe 'Cause you don't really love me You just keep me hangin' on Now you don't really want me You just keep me hangin' on You say although we broke up You still wanna be just friends But how can we still be friends When seeing you only breaks my heart again And there ain't nothing I can do about it Whoa oh oh, set me free, why don't cha, babe Whoa oh oh, get out my life, why don't cha, babe Set me free, why don't cha, babe Get out my life, why don't cha, babe You claim you still care for me But your heart and soul needs to be free And now that you've got your freedom You wanna still hold on to me You don't want me for yourself So let me find somebody else, hey hey Why don't you be a man about it And set me free? Now you don't care a thing about me You're just using me Go on, get out, get out of my life And let me sleep at night, please 'Cause you don't really love me You just keep me hangin' on good night......BOO!

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling, way down in the valley tonight. There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye, and a blade shining oh so bright. There's evil in the air and there's thunder in sky, and A killer's on the bloodshot streets. Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising, Oh I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter, He was starting to foam in the heat. Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world, that's pure and good and right. And wherever you are and wherever you go, there's always gonna be some light. But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now, Before the final crack of dawn. So we gotta make the most of our one night together. When it's over you know, We'll both be so alone. Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes. When the night is over Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone. Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes. But when the day is done and the sun goes down, and the moonlights shining through, Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven, I'll come crawling on back to you. I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram, on a silver black phantom bike. When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry, and we're all about to see the light. Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole. Everything is stunted and lost. And nothing really rocks And nothing really rolls And nothing's ever worth the cost. And I know that I'm damned if I never get out, And maybe I'm damned if I do, But with every other beat I've got left in my heart, You know I'd rather be damned with you. If I gotta be damned you know I wanns be damned, dancing through the night with you. If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned. Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned. If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned, Dancing through the night Dancing through the night Dancing through the night with you. Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world, that's pure and good and right. And wherever you are and wherever you go, there's always gonna be some light. But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now, Before the final crack of dawn. So we gotta make the most of our one night together. When it's over you know, We'll both be so alone. Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes. When the night is over Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone. Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes. But when the day is done and the sun goes down, and the moonlights shining through, Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven, I'll come crawling on back to you. I can see myself tearing up the road, Faster than any other boy has ever gone. And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe. No-one's gonna stop me now, I gotta make my escape. But I can't stop thinking of you, and I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late. I never see the sudden curve 'till it's way too late. Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun. Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike. And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell. And the last thing I see is my heart, Still beating, Breaking out of my body, And flying away, Like a bat out of hell. Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun. Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike. And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell. And the last thing I see is my heart. Still beating, still beating, Breaking out of my body and flying away, Like a bat out of hell. Like a bat out of hell. Like a bat out of hell. Oh like a bat out of hell! Oh like a bat out of hell! Like a bat out of hell! good evening (said in my dracula voice)
