OK

and then what the fuck
just take it and run
or walk away slowly
with your past
in your hand

Tomorrow

I wont let it fade
clenched ember searing
hope into my fist

For you

...and thereby my worries fell
into the wake of time
they tumbled into the waves
goodbye was all that they could say

and I awoken to feel alive
once again to feel the spray
salty earth washed over my face
as the bow cut through the waves

and I saw the sun awake
bellied up and made my stake
to the table where I would take
and break apart the bread of life

Jesus H

I saw a picture of Jesus in the man down the road
in one hand a rifle loaded for bear
in the other a paycheck kissed by despair

I saw a picture of Jesus in the chick down the road
in one hand a bucket with bills and coins
in the other her heart aching for gold

I saw a picture of Jesus in the bum down the road
In his lap was a dog with pleading eyes
In his hands were nothing but a screaming sign.

I got my picture of Jesus at Walmart today
I can't wait to hang it with Warhol and all
but for now my hands are too filled with rage

The wheels on the bus go round and round

You sexy red beast
on your corner of salvation
...waiting

Soon that dogged bus
takes you to yonder corners
...waiting again

A full circle
for your round trip ticket
that corners you in
