BROTHER FEAR
The building rise high
Up above the city where the sun
Is sailing down the red sky
And through my veins you run
Brother fear's on the streets
Flying high in the markets with the rain
Brother fear you take my heart away
Brother fear's on the streets
And down the streamlined
Avenues that glitter far below
A green Bughatti ghost rides
Across the bright windows
Brother fear's on the streets
Flying high in the markets with the rain
Brother fear you take my heart away
Brother fear's on the streets
The canyon streets rise
Up above the city's nervous soul
Through passages of lost time
I feel your ebb and flow
Brother fear's on the streets
Flying high in the markets with the rain
Brother fear you take my heart away
Brother fear's on the streets

Fighting in a lighthouse

FIGHTING IN A LIGHTHOUSE
Through the curtains that blew apart
Drifted a strange old tune
And the sunlight with its dying rays
Floods the room with another day
On the surface cool neon danced
Swam with a day old moon
And when I touched your fine boned shoulder
On the strand walking next to you
The senile sea numbers each single
Slim silvered stone
Through the curtains that blew apart
Drifted a strange old tune
And the lighthouse with its slender beam
Crossed the room where the woman leaned
The senile sea numbers each single
Slim silvered stone

PARADISO
Night falls on Paradiso’s dawn
And the halos glow around the town
Their soft delight
Beneath the bridges sigh
They take me in their arms
And hold me tight.
Light pours from a swinging door
And a trumpet comes sliding through the calm
And carefree night
Beneath the bridges sigh
Take me in your arms
And hold me tight.
Cold Paradiso night
Take me in your arms
And hold me tight.
The broken up Alleys dream
And from a hotel a woman screams.

6th floor elevator blues

6TH FLOOD ELEVATOR BLUES
Don’t book a room above the 5th floor
When you stay at the Hard-Luck Hotel
The ladders won’t reach any higher
And if you fell.
It’s like the barman always told you
That winners always take the stairs
Because if there should be a fire
The elevator will take you there.
A pink moon rises over Oldtown
Along the street of no return
The cars lie naked and abandoned
And safe from harm.
You hang suspended from a wire
You crawl beneath the lizard’s lair
But please believe what Momma told you
The elevator will take you there.
Don’t book a room above the 5th floor
When you stay at the Hard-Luck Hotel
The ladders won’t reach any higher
And if you fell.

TREMAINE
Tremaine you settle like a bird
Watching you my life begins
Tremaine the steady currents curl
Clear blue and silver skinned.
Uncertain scenes come back to me…
Staring out from the wooden porch
Dusk falls
The west horizon burns
From the shallow corn.
Tremaine your silent figure soars
Crucified against the sun
Tremaine your twisted figure turns
Watching you upon the wind.
Uncertain scenes come back to me…
Staring down past the whitened walls
Dust roars
The cafe lights that blur
And the market hall.
Tremaine the silence seems to roar
From the pool as you descend
Untamed and magic was the world
Watching you my life begins.
Uncertain scenes come back to me…
Driving round in your battered car
Back yards
Where silhouettes would merge
Beneath the tragic stars
Uncertain scenes come back to me.

SEA CHANGE
Sea change
No one can change my life
But the days seemed endless
And the burning embers
Of their fire remain.
And there were times
When I dreamed of youth
And there were times
When I’ve seen nobody but you
Sea change.
Sea change
No morning came so bright
As the gold September
When I saw your slender
Figure cross the rye.
And there are times
I deny the truth
And there are times
When I see nobody but you
Sea change.

ROULETTE
Your hands black as the night will fall
Your serpent fingers wrap
Through blind corridors
Your hands black.
Your hands black as the rain that falls
On unseen lakes that lap
Loose lined to the shore
Your hands black.
From the deep sleep I rise and walk with you
And the spring takes you there
High in the clear air
And the spring takes you there
High in the scented air
And the spring takes you there.

THE LIGHTS OF PHOENIX
Sometimes when I feel lonely inside
The lights of Phoenix roll on down…
The stars above us roll on down.
Sometimes like a dream burning you rise
Into the desert’s rolling sky.
The lights of Phoenix roll on down
Into the day.
You climb in the steep thunderous night
Your wings above us burning bright.
Sometimes when I feel lonely inside
The lights of Phoenix roll on down…
The stars above us roll on down
Into the day.

MISSING
He takes a long cold slow drink from
The wrinkled surface river bronze
Sliding through his torrid plain
His Taurus rage.
