Figured it couldn’t hurt … seeing as all the freewheeling wordsmithings of DBIS past are still there in the can.

Lotion

We danced in our own living room Held hands & walked and listened to Bird sounds …and moving water Cooled the air that we breathed And you reached over to touch my face And I turned to you and matched your trace As we embraced the rhythms of our love But the guns rat-a-tat just up the street The sirens wail in this city’s heartbeat While the politician gains another means Of fleecing our neighbors for sake o deceit So we hug here on the water’s edge Even though our life is near the ledge & down there is a sorrow we can’t avoid We’ll never get to hike with our friends, The Lloyds, because our life is run.. Because the only life we know is gone

I was talkin’ to a cousin, she used to be so… easy going Now a frown is on the voice of a woman worn by knowing That our days of easy laughter in the sun have come & gone & an egocentric mad big brother has legalized doing wrong I hear it in your monologue and fear it in my hometown And you can’t put lotion on a national dumb-down

TAIL wagging the dog So few now high on the hog So what, you know we’re being watched We were last year and the year before too But this next big ordeal is (what) new? The fight, they feed it to you Across the pond, just like here now Govmnt & the corporate cow are Out of the closet bedfellows & we’re all on the outs.. You still believe you choose who Moves & shakes for sake o you too? & you’re really alright (with) What’s gone down since you yelled, “Let’s fight!”?

If Goebbels had a country today, he’d want the one “We own” When I look outside the driver’s side window I see what really needs mown Because the coverage being used today is the shabbiest we’ve (ever) known & there you are amidst the fall with the best o your humanities showin’ AND I swear I’m always gonna love that about you Said, “I swear I’m always gonna love that about you..”

With the maneuvers we view today, the weight of it comin’ down How many times did you listen to TRIAGE—trade a smile for a frown I rely that more than some o you had already seen it comin’ or goin’ & here you are amidst the fall with the best o’ your humanities showin’ AND I swear I will always love that about you “…Swear I’m always gonna love that about you.”
