Old men with locked arms in robes
Slither to podiums
I have to hide from all the fiction jive
That spews out their craniums
Yet somehow a portion of the spin
Makes me want to join
Did they mean it
When they said they’d help the needy and poor
95 % committed
95 % suspicious
Slogans and smiles, billboards for miles
Every local commercial break
They need your cash, your calls, your postcard hauls
Whatever it will take
But I can’t bring myself to parallel
With every twist and turn
So what you get:
A dedicated skeptic returned
And I can’t help my heart
So easily falls apart
I just can’t fall in line
I feel the gravity of the moment this time
Harmony, tenderness,
Human warmth – are not worth
Just cutting up
Who do you worship
That tells you to aim your clip
at rainbows of love
She loves her and he loves him
There’s nothing you can do to end this love
We all have red blood,
Heart and nerves under skin
Deserving the same
(Love will not wait…)
Anyone dumb enough
To stand between equal loves
Gets leveled in shame
(…or bend to hate)
We still got our friends
We check in all the time
We know it’s all about love
She loves her and he loves him
There’s nothing you can do to end this love
A or B or AB or O
We are all one of these four
Satellite, SOS
Transmission Failure again
I’m folding foil, antenna ploy
Waiting out endless white noise
I miss you always
I miss you always
Years ago you never stopped
Inspired blur of energy
I’m reaching out to open sky
Academy of hopeless tries
You are the air
You are the air
I miss you always
I miss you always
I miss you always
I miss you always
I’m merely bones on the shoulder
The trail behind you is wide
No hands can keep up
No legs to the stride
