OBSERVATIONS OF A BEATEN MAN

Love, it seems to hide from me,
It seems to lie to me,
The older I get...
It takes, but it never gives back,
It hurts, but it's always like that

Life, it seems to laugh at me,
It seems to crap on me,
The older I get...
It takes, but it never gives back,
It hurts, but it's always like that

Time, it seems follow to me,
It seems to swallow me,
The older I get...
It takes, but it never give back,
It hurts, but it's always like that
Always like that...

I wasn't all I was cracked up to be,
You made that very clear,
Perhaps it was simply boredom,
That ignited all your fears

There was never balance between us,
Despite the hoodoo and the spells,
We lost our equilibrium,
As did Orson Welles

And I can't lean upon a rainbow,
I can't swim amongst the clouds,
I can't hold a ghost close to me,
And I can't give what's not allowed

So I gaze upon an open door,
That frames the rain outside,
Cherishing words you called the truth,
While ignoring snide asides

The void I feel might be the wind,
And there's one last glimpse of you,
The lightening captures a silhouette,
Then you disappear from view

And I can't lean upon a rainbow,
I can't swim amongst the clouds,
I can't hold a ghost close to me,
And I can't give what's not allowed

MAN CHILD

An inflatable pool in my back yard,
Beckons silently to me,
Bugs that have drowned float face up,
Where my dog has secretly peed

I lie in the sun with rolls of fat,
And sweat streams down my neck,
My girlfriend's thong looks mighty tight,
As she inhales a crepe suzette

And I used to have ambition,
When America was free,
Before Man Child's proclamations,
Took everything from me

He absconded with my money,
He smothered my self-respect,
He took us down this black hole,
Then blamed it on Glenn Beck

Now me and my girl Bertha,
Watch as our futures wane,
'cause Man Child's god like powers,
Made us all the same
