Back on the road again, feeling kinda lonely and
Looking for the right guy who'd be mine
Friends say I'm crazy 'cause easily I fall in love
"You gotta do it different J, this time"
Maybe we'll meet at a bar
He'll drive a funky car
Maybe we'll meet at a club
And fall so deeply in love
He'll tell me I'm the one
And we'll have so much fun
I'll be the girl of his dreams, maybe
Alright, maybe gonna find him today
I gotta get someone to call my lover
Yeah, baby, come on
Alright, baby, come and pass my way
I gotta get someone to call my lover
Yeah, baby, come on
Ah-yeah, ah-yeah
Ah-yeah, ah
Ah-yeah, ah-yeah
Ah-yeah, ah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Ah-yeah, ah-yeah
Ah-yeah, ah-yeah
Ah-yeah, ah-yeah
Ah-yeah, ah-yeah-yeah-yeah
I spoil them when I'm in love
Givin' them what they dream of
Sometimes it's not a good thing but I'm blind
I love hard with everything
Giving my all more than they
I'll take my friends' advice this time
I'll do it differently
Maybe we'll meet at a bar
He'll drive a funky car
Maybe we'll meet at a club
And fall so deeply in love
He'll tell me I'm the one
And we'll have so much fun
I'll be the girl of his dreams, maybe
Alright, maybe gonna find him today
I gotta get someone to call my lover
Yeah, baby, come on
Alright, baby, come and pass my way
I gotta get someone to call my lover
Yeah, baby, come on

The back of my mind is
Blank obsidian
[unintelligible] ...let the song get out of hand, nobody likes a genius child, can you love an eagle, tame or wild? Wild or tame, can you love a monster of frightening name? Nobody loves a genius child, free him and let his soul run wild.

[unintelligible] … I hate when things don't work, I hate it when people don't do their jobs, I hate it when things don't work. It just baffles me and it, it basically annoys me. So, when, yesterday when I bought a bunch of equipment for my livestream, I plugged it all up and it just didn't work, and it drove me insane for like 2 hours while I was livestreaming, so I was talking to people on the livestream, to figure out, haha, how, why on Earth is this not working? It just drove me insane, and that's usually the case with, I mean anything technical, cause I'm, I'm a technical guy, I like making things work... [unintelligible]
Glow worms show the path we have to tread
Dreamers, we should be asleep in bed
Moving slowly through the springtime air
Holding moments in the depth of care
Holding moments in the depth of care

Kiss Me
04:39

Kiss me, out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress, oh
Kiss me, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
I thought that I was dreaming when you said you loved me
The start of nothing, I had no chance to prepare, I couldn't see you coming
The start of nothing, ooh, I could hate you now
It's quite alright to hate me now
But we both know that deep down, the feelings still deep down is good
If I could see through walls, I could see you're faking
If you could read my mind, you would see our face
Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then, we didn't give a fuck back then
I ain't a kid no more, we'll never be those kids again
I'm... I feel like I'm wasting people's time by being alive
Like I'm eating food that someone else could eat or, taking up someone else's space... [unintelligible]

The Unworthy Vessel
03:32
|

This piece is called "The Unworthy Vessel"
Daddy Long Legs looked like Uncle Sam on stilts and he ran this osteopath clinic outside East St. Louis and took in a few junkie patients.
For two nights a week they stay out at night in green long chairs and look at the oaks and grass stretching down to a little lake in the sun. The nurse moves around the lawn with her silver tray, feeding the junkie. And we called her 'Mother'. Wouldn't you?
Doc Benway and me was holed up there after a rumble in Dallas...
Beautiful! Just beautiful!

Is it better standing up, isn't it?
It's really hard to sing this, you know?
(Well, it's a hard song, John)
Maybe I should strum it first
The patterns we make
Recreating mistakes
Sometimes it's hard to know
When it's time to go
Something's engraved deep in your pains
History has got a good hold on me
History has got a damn good hold on me
The sunrise has come
Headin' down south to the land of the pines
I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road and pray to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
So, rock me Mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, Mama rock me
Oh, rock me Mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me Mama, like a southbound train
Hey, Mama rock me
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now
Oh, north country winters keep a-gettin' me down
Lost my money playin' poker, so I had to leave town
But I ain't a-turnin' back to livin' that old life no more
So, rock me Mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, Mama rock me
Oh, rock me Mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me Mama, like a southbound train
Hey, Mama rock me
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke
But he's a-headin' west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby callin' my name and I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free
So, rock me Mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, Mama rock me
Oh, rock me Mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me Mama, like a southbound train
Hey, Mama rock me
So, rock me Mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me Mama, any way you feel (oh, I wanna feel)
Hey, Mama rock me
Rock me Mama, like the wind and the rain
Rock me Mama, like a southbound train
Hey, Mama rock me
