The light of spirit burns in everyone The diamond's buried deep-surrender When the heart is ready the teacher will come Nothing remains without change-surrender The tao of heaven shines in every eye The diamond's buried deep-surrender It's a gateless gate for those who never try Nothing remains without change-surrender |
And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside, and often I've bled" He laid his hand then on top of her head And he bowed her down to the ground. "Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed But I won't march again on your battlefield" And he took her to the window to see. And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray And she wanted more than she ever could say But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away And would not look at his face again. And he said, "I want to live as an honest man To get all I deserve and to give all I can And to love a young woman who I don't understand Your highness, your ways are very strange." |
I know these corners I know these streets
Curbside prophets they're yellin' at me He can save my soul for a drink and a dollar They keep starin' at my tattoos We all live with the scars we choose They might hurt like hell but they all make us stronger. If you want it Come and get it If you want it Come and get it Just understand You take me as I am Slow to trust but I'm quick to love Push too hard and I give too much I ain't sayin' I'm perfect but I promise I'm worth it. |
Moving on to the great 80s Hair Bands: Skid Row, for your pleasure...
We've had our share of hard times But that's the price we paid And through it all we kept the promise that we made I swear you'll never be lonely Woke up to the sound of pouring rain Washed away a dream of you But nothing else could ever take you away 'Cause you'll always be my dream come true Oh my darling, I love you Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand? Love letters in the sand - I remember you Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day I wanna hear you say I remember you |
Continuing ... The better version of Van Halen, with frontman David Lee Roth. *grin*
Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off know what I'm sayin' uhh, I reach down between my legs n' ease the seat back She's runnin', I'm flyin' Right behind in the rearview mirror now Got the fearin', power steerin' Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now |
And because life is about balance ... lol
Van Halen with Sammy Hagar (not quite as musically cutting, but at times pleasing to the ear): How do I know when it's love? I can't tell you but it lasts forever Ooh, how does it feel when it' love? It's just something you feel together, hey! |
And I'll leave you with one of my all-time favorites, good enough to be in my profile. *smile*
Gunter glieben glauchen globen All right I got something to say Yeah, it's better to burn out Yeah, than fade away All right Ow Gonna start a fire C'mon! Rise up! gather round Rock this place to the ground Burn it up let's go for broke Watch the night go up in smoke Rock on! Rock on! Drive me crazier, no serenade No fire brigade, just Pyromania What do you want? What do you want? I want rock'n'roll, yes I do Long live rock'n'roll |
There are voices in the mirror, faces at the door That open on the rivers we've never seen before Are there choices for the sparrow, or does he only fly High above the rivers that are pulling you and I Oh, there are strange rivers, rivers that we cannot see There are strange rivers who know our destiny There are strange rivers who brought your love to me He could have been a builder, he could have been the one Who turned his dreams to steel cathedrals in the sun He could have been a builder, until he bought the gun There are forces in that river that keep him on the run Oh, there are strange rivers, rivers that we cannot see There are strange rivers who know our destiny There are strange rivers who brought your love to me Have you ever turned the corner and wondered why you did? You haven't been that way since you were just a kid Nothing really happens and then you have to say You wonder what would happen had you gone the other way Oh, there are strange rivers, rivers that we cannot see There are strange rivers who know our destiny There are strange rivers who brought your love to me |
There's something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name, That seems to leave this troubled world behind. And if I'm feeling down and blue, Or troubled by some foolish game, She always seems to make me change my mind. And I feel fine anytime she's around me now, She's around me now Just about all the time And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now, She's been with me now quite a long, long time And I feel fine. Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning And I find myself careening Into places where I should not let me go. She has the power to go where no one else can find me And to silently remind me Of the happiness and the good times that I know, got to know. And I feel fine anytime she's around me now, She's around me now Just about all the time And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now, She's been with me now quite a long, long time And I feel fine. It isn't what she's got to say But how she thinks and where she's been To me, the words are nice, the way they sound I like to hear them best that way It doesn't much matter what they mean If she says them mostly just to calm me down And I feel fine anytime she's around me now, She's around me now Just about all the time And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now, She's been with me now quite a long, long time And I feel fine. |
We go to a party
and everyone turns to see this beautiful lady, who's walking around with me. And than she asks me: "Do you feel alright?" and I said: "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight ... ...I feel wonderful because I see the love lights in your eyes.... |
It's not a sign of weakness
When it's out of your control To everything there is a reason And a time for letting go Things aren't always as they seem to be And sometimes life is something You can't see So go ahead and cry for something you can understand There's no real need to ask why for We're all a part of this master plan Things aren't always as they seem to be And sometimes life is something you can't see |
Where The World Began I'm tired of being grateful for a chance to take a dive I'm sick of everything I do just to keep myself alive When you cut away the skin that bears the brand Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am Standin' in the darkness Someone call my name out Standin' in the darkness Someone put the flame out Standin' in the darkness Baby, there I am Where the world began Saw the man in Jamaica, he had a shadow on his back I recalled the ring of fire, and he wore his suit of black When the legend and the ocean meet the sand Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am Standin' in the darkness Someone call my name out Standin' in the darkness Someone put the flame out Standin' in the darkness Baby, there I am Where the world began Everyone is so fabulous, hey, we all got our gun Old Snakey's not a sinner, no, he just shows us how it's done When you separate the wretched from the damned Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am Standin' in the darkness Someone call my name out Standin' in the darkness Someone put the flame out Standin' in the darkness Baby, there I am Where the world began |
listen when I'm silent there's a sound that only you can hear listen when it's quiet I know you can hear it cover up your ears cover up your ears listen... |
They say bad things happen for a reason But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding 'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving And when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no |
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you May it be when darkness falls Your heart will be true You walk a lonely road Oh! How far you are from home May it be the shadows call Will fly away May it be you journey on To light the day When the night is overcome You may rise to find the sun |
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan Sometimes, I'm clueless and I'm clumsy But I've got friends that love me And they know just where I stand It's all a part of me And that's who I am |
I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still So if you love me Won't you let me know? |
I want the world I want the whole world I want to lock it all up in my pocket It's my bar of chocolate Give it to me Now! |
This is how I see butches and the dance we do

My precious, present will you bloom To make this fourth dimension womb |
You see, I can be myself now finally, in fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you be with me Hey soul sister |
Entraste en mi vida y me hiciste feliz
Pusiste color y rumbo a mi existir Entraste en mis sueños sin dejarme dormir Y no se que haria si no estoy cerca de ti Cuando me susurras que me amas al oido, toda mi piel se eriza, me ruborizo como un niño No hay palabras que describan tanto amor que siento en mi corazon y es por tu amor |
You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin' One storm can come and blow it all away Build it anyway You can chase a dream That seems so out of reach And you know it might not ever come your way Dream it anyway God is great But sometimes life ain't good And when I pray It doesn't always turn out like I think it should But I do it anyway I do it anyway This world's gone crazy It's hard to believe That tomorrow will be better than today Believe it anyway You can love someone with all your heart For all the right reasons In a moment they can choose to walk away Love 'em anyway God is great But sometimes life ain't good And when I pray It doesn't always turn out like I think it should But I do it anyway Yeah - I do it anyway You can pour your soul out singing A song you believe in That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang Sing it anyway Yea, sing it anyway Yeah, yeah! I sing I dream I love anyway |

I met her at the mission, Living just this side of sin. Her mouth was soft and when she spoke, Lord, I fell right in. She had a baby in a blanket, A dollar and a half. She looked a little leery, She let out a little laugh. Opened up my overcoat, Invited them inside. Two fragile little flowers, With nowhere left to hide. She said her old man left her, Just before the baby came. I could feel the tears well up inside, Each time she spoke his name. Swing low, swing low, Sweet angel face. Why would such a simple child, Come to such a place? We talked until the wind died down, The baby woke and stirred. She made a little hushing sound, Spoke some magic word. The baby yawned and smiled at me, But she said: "We can't stay." She thanked me for my kindness, Turned and walked away. Swing low, swing low, Sweet angel face. Why would such a simple child, Come to such a place? I think about them all the time, And hope they found their home. Seems that it's my calling now, To walk these streets alone. Sometimes when the wind is right, I can smell her sweet perfume. I think about the warm embrace, That ended all too soon. Swing low, swing low, Sweet angel face. Why would such a simple child, Come to such a place? Oh, oh, oh, why would such a simple child, Come to such a place? |
Limb by limb, tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me Every day, every hour I wish that I was bulletproof Wax me, mould me Heat the pins and stab them in You have turned me into this Just wish that it was bulletproof, was bulletproof So pay the money and take a shot Lead-fill the hole in me I could burst a million bubbles All surrogate and bulletproof... |
God give you grace to purge this place
And peace all around will be your fortune Oh Oh children of the land, Love is still the answer take my hand The vision fades, the voice I hear Don't listen to the mad man But still I fear and still I dare not Laugh at the mad man |
Chaka Khan
Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was Happened so naturally I did not know it was love The next thing I felt was You holding me close What was I gonna do? I let myself go And now we're flyin' through the star I hope this night will last forever I've been waitin' for you It's been so long I knew just what I would do When I heard your song Filled my heart with your bliss Gave me freedom You knew I could not resist I needed someone And now we're flyin' through the stars I hope this night will last forever Oh oh oh oh Ain't nobody Loves me better Makes me happy Makes me feel this way Ain't nobody Loves me better than you I wait for night time to come And bring you to me Can't believe I'm the one I was so lonely I feel like no one could feel I must be dreamin' I want this dream to be real I need this feelin' I make my wish upon a star And hope this night will last forever Ain't nobody Loves me better Makes me happy Makes me feel this way Ain't nobody Loves me better than you And first you put your arms around me Then you put your charms around me I can't resist this sweet surrender All my nights are warm and tender We stare into each other's eyes And what we see is no surprise Got a feeling most would treasure And a love so deep we cannot measure |
From my friend Lacie, who's all over these lyrics:
Come here, rude boy, boy; can you get it up? Come here rude boy, boy; is you big enough? Take it, take it baby, baby Take it, take it; love me, love me Tonight I'ma let you be the captain Tonight I'ma let you do your thing, yeah Tonight I'ma let you be a rider Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up babe Tonight I'ma let it be fire Tonight I'ma let you take me higher Tonight, baby, we could get it on, yeah, we could get it on, yeah |
. . . the smell of redwood giants
a banquet for the shadows. . . |
I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack Thursday, never looking back It's Friday, I'm in love Monday, you can hold your head Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed Or Thursday, watch the walls instead It's Friday, I'm in love |
I used to go out to parties and stand around
'Cause I was too nervous to really get down But my body yearned to be free I got up on the floor, boy so somebody could choose me. No more standin' there beside the walls I have got myself together, baby I'm havin' a ball Long as you're groovin' There's always a chance Somebody watchin' might wanna make romance Move your body, ooo baby, And dance all night Do that grooving’ Feel all right Everybody's groovin' on like a fool But if you see me spread out and let me in Baby just party high and low Let me step into your erotic zone Move it up Turn it down Shake it down OOWWWW |
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile And I knew that if I had my chance I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while Did you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so Now do you believe in Rock 'n' roll And can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cos I saw you dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck But I knew that I was out of luck The day the music died I started singing Bye, bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play Well now, in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken Tho church bells all were broken And the three men I admire the most The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died We started singin' Bye, bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Bye, bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die |
That was then this is now
Found my way back here somehow Knew you'd have to let me go Told you once I told you so Take me down You can hold me but you Can't hold what's within Pull me round Push me to the limit Maybe I may bend But I know where I'm not going I will not be broken I will not be broken I will not be... Someone other than who I am I will fight to make my stand Cause what is livin' if I can't live free What is freedom if I can't be me Take me down You can hold me but you Can't hold what's within Pull me round Push me to the limit Maybe I may bend But I know where I'm not going I will not be broken I will not be broken I will not be... I won't let you near it I will let my spirit fly Fly High Oh take me down Take me down You can hold me but you Can't hold what's within Pull me round Push me to the limit Maybe I may bend But I know where I'm not going I will not be broken I will not be broken I will not be... |
. . . we ride home in the night
while under our feet, the rain paints the street with the stars passing cars with light trails behind them we could follow them on. . . |
I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees, and fed my house guests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green. I had a dream That I could fly from the highest swing. |
Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing I'm just standing in a doorway I'm just trying to make some sense Out of these girls go passing by The tales they tell of men I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on a friend A smile relieves a heart that grieves Remember what I said I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend Don't need a whore I don't need no booze Don't need a virgin priest But I need someone I can cry to I need someone to protect Making love and breaking hearts It is a game for youth But I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on a friend |
So, I am in the twilight of my youth
Not that I'm going to remember Have you seen the moon tonight, is it full? Still burning it's embers The people dancing in the corner They seem happy, but I am sad I am still dancing in the coma of the drinks I just had Does anybody wanna take me home? Does anybody wanna take me home? Take me to your house and I'll leave you alone Of course I will, of course I won't It seems so tragic, but it disappears like magic Like magic Like magic Can you recommend an education or drugs Because I'm bored with you already I'm on Broadway and I think it's a parade I'm covered in pieces of confetti And I am in the twilight of my youth Not that I'm going to remember Dancing and slowly and finding the truth And it covered in coma All these people in my life, they seem so in love Well, I am not Memorizing my shoes in a cigarette shop Does anybody wanna take me home? Does anybody wanna take me home? I'm kinda lonely, will you take me home? Of course you will, of course you won't Of course I'm crass, it seems so tragic Of course you will, of course you won't But I'll disappear, I'll disappear Just like magic Just like magic |
. . .we are floating through the day
those bitten by the wild will live on but those who used to bite have gone. . . |
Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight An' for each an' ev'ry underdog soldier in the night An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. In the city's melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched With faces hidden as the walls were tightening As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin' rain Dissolved into the bells of the lightning Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an' forsaked Tolling for the outcast, burnin' constantly at stake An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind An' the poet an the painter far behind his rightful time An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. In the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales For the disrobed faceless forms of no position Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts All down in taken-for granted situations Tolling for the deaf an' blind, tolling for the mute For the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute For the misdemeanor outlaw, chased an' cheated by pursuit An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. Even though a clouds's white curtain in a far-off corner flashed An' the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale An' for each unharmfull, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. Starry-eyed an' laughing as I recall when we were caught Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended As we listened one last time an' we watched with one last look Spellbound an' swallowed 'til the tolling ended Tolling for the aching whose wounds cannot be nursed For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. |
