Time for a Song

Upon the midnight clear, rock steady, but for you I hurt
Tread tired burning rubber souls, dread agonies thread through
and frost bit, in the hunt I speak of, you did not desert
with winter Herod bearing down so desperately on you,
Ain't got no time for nothin' now but you-ouou
Ain't got no time for nothin' now but you
Ain't got no time for nothin' now but you..

The Colossal (Ringing in my head)

My name is Miss Liberty Bell I may ring,
ring in the mornings, the evenings, and gleam
Fresh from Europa on a Sunday one Spring
t'write out a Heaven in the form of your dream

My copper toned bottom spanking debt-struck Ronald Reagan
Am Ex wrought Plymouth forged me Liberty
Freddy's mother metals lode my soul a steel pagan
Welding gowns Enlightenment all wrapped up in me

Still standing in the harbor searching for the true love
God, thousands contend they are searching for me
I look 'em all over in the beam of this torchlight
I carry through Paris around the Red Sea

When Charlton Heston nigh crowned me his true love,
splashed like a Moses new hot rod and staff,
started in Egypt an NRA push shoved, and
drowned me in anger, he gave God a good laugh

The Italian Vespucci? No clue how to take it
Whitecaps are rolling, red waves cover me,
an embarrassing figure lashed blue to Titanic,
You beat on Ms. Bell, boys, but I ring when I'm free..

Weather Underground

Somebody wanna love you Love
O, knocking heart don't pound!
Someone on your doorstep says
his tomb he split unwound..

This Someone wanna love you scathed,
but scathed be him unbound,
run on to him no bodies but
his unscathed underground..

Someone wanna love you cool,
warm you to his wedding, *
you'll stand a shower wear a tux and
burn your Levis rags and bedding!

True, you gotta love him, too,
as Someone woos you who'd confound,
but Somebody wanna love you true
this Love to love you, hangs around

in Devil think, you spring to action
Someone shepherd love you bad
whose water stills to satisfaction
some sheep on this earth have had..

Somebody gotta love 'em
Somebody loosed his hound!
To love Somebody one's best clue
to hunt Somebody down

this Someone gotta love you most
who ran him out our towns..
For certain ain't he chasing why
you.. Curdling blood hound sounds..

Heard Somebody wanna love ya, man;
the word's spread all around!
His table's spread and angels span
the globe the unscathed underground.. *

you Somebody really loves because
there ain't no body else
you gotta love who loves you more,
more than even loves himself..

you gotta Love who loves you more
than even loves himself..
