Chrysalide
Would you like to make the evening news?
Tighten up your wires and your screws
Your look is so determined and confused
Delicately wipe off all the dust
Paint another coat over the rust
Shed another tear dear if you must
Hold on to me chrysalide
Has your coveted insecticide
Already touched your mind
Hold on to me chrysalide
Does the turning give you butterflies
What have you left behind
Hold onto me chrysalide
In a dream I take you home tonight
Frolicking in the sky
Your well adjusted harness is secure
Your well adjusted mentally obscure
Beautiful, misguided and demure
High upon the ledge you seem alight
Standing graceful tall into the night
Ready to employ eternal flight

This Weather's Better For Velvet Clothes
Monday, a perfect day
For taking pictures of the clouds
She left her green beret
On the bus we took to town
Nose rings and pretty things
Gathered in a sari shop
Her eyes were so surprised
When I stopped breathing
When you're hoping it rains it pours
You think you hide it, but girl it shows
This weather's better for velvet clothes
This weather's better for velvet clothes
People love to stare
Rose incense in the air
I need a bite to eat
Help me get back on my feet
We left the sari shop
For a bowl of be bim bop
She smiled in my eyes
I really want samosas

Jupiter
In the morning when I
Heard you calling as I
Watched the fountain blowing
Up to the sky
Sparkling we come down
Making only a sound
Touch the ground and I know
I’m never calling you again
Out of breath and out of
What is left beside us?
Lying here to guide us
My astrolabe
Search the Heavens again
Trying to recall when
You were there and I know
I’m never calling you again
The spot on your lung is pneumonia
The spot on your heart is from her
The storm in your head
Is why they call you Jupiter

Velvet And Corduroy
Velvet and corduroy
Sharing an Almond-Joy
Glaring she walks away
Seeking another boy
He’s so annoyed
Ride on the Tilt-a-Whirl
She’s just another girl
Wishing she’d spent her last
Token on lemonade
She’s so afraid
What’s a person to do
When the one next to you
Is coming unglued?
“Alive, Alive”, he slurred,
“See the Two Headed Squirrel.
Come see the Frozen Girl
Before she melts away
On this Saturday.”
Their cotton candy’s blue
Giggling as they chew
Consuming all that is left
In a Sapphic way
Then they run away
What’s a person to do
When there’s one next to you ……..
Who’s coming unglued?
Velvet and corduroy
Another Almond-Joy
Glaring she walks away
Seeking another boy
He’s so annoyed

Shampoo
Pretty little horses sound real fine
The songs they play
Are in tune
The King has played the wrong chess piece this time
Queen’s knight takes pawn
You lose
As you lie awake the Sandman said
“Pray I’ll comfort you.”
It’s true
There it comes, there it goes
Old enough, enough to know
Let it go
Leave it up to me to shape your mind
It will wash away
With shampoo

Silly Girl
I know a girl who likes to talk in riddles
Rolling among the flowers she plays in the pouring rain
And I know a girl who likes to tell tall stories
Spinning you round and round she’ll tell you once again
Then she says, “I love you”
Nothing could be this real
Then he says, “I love you and I’m gonna show you all the world
My silly little girl”
I know a girl who wear’s the latest fashion
Singing there’s magic potion flowing through her veins
I know a girl whose voice is sweet as candy
Floating like Sun light through an Eastern window pane

She Falls Down

She Falls Down
Running up to the wall
Sweet dreams of the other side
Fingernails in the cracks
We start to climb
She falls down
She falls down
When we’re near to the wall
We hear something rhythmical
It’s just the thing, you’ll see
It will be something magical
She falls down
She falls down
Feel so odd and displaced, there’s
No more room for my face, just
Confrontation and grief, go
Over the wall life will be so…
When we get to the top
All you see will be beautiful
Keep your toes in the crags
And don’t look back
She falls down
She falls down

Queen Anne’s Lace
She is a sunlight filtered charm
She has a rainbow on her arm
She’s looking down out of the sky
She has a glacier in her eyes
I see a different light
Through holes in the night
So she said
She’s wearing bells on every toe
She is the one. She’s what you chose
She is the Buddah when she laughs
She gives you everything you have
I see a different light
Through holes in the night
I touch some Queen Anne’s lace
The tears roll down my face
I hear the mourning dove
Singing a song of love
I taste the flavor red
Through this thing in my head
So she said
