A gloved hand gropes the wall for a switch. Finding it, a reluctant gloved thumb give it a flick. Overhead lights crackle flicker and blink. And finally an unused computer humms The cave slowly is written back to life. Seated in a once familiar chair a dark figure begins typing. He looks older much older than he remembered when he last sat down to the keys. More frail almost fragile. His mind clouded by age longs for the time it was sharp and keen. Dull and listlessly he types, "Why?" "Why return to these digs this old friendless cave?" With it's Broken Dixieland tears and it's recently fallen Star." His mind stumbles to find the words to type "I am on the verge of being a physical and mental wasteland." The vultures begin to circle. "Can't think, nothing makes sense any more" Tears fall down badly aged cheeks. "It's over" and "I" "I am broken."
All he could think about was I'm to young for this Got my whole life ahead hell I'm just a kid myself How am I gonna raise one
All he could see were his dreams Goin up in smoke So much for ditchin this town hangin out on the coast Oh well those plans are long gone
And he said,there goes my life There goes my future my everything might as well kiss it all good bye there goes my life
a couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later that mistake he thought he made covers up the refigerator oh yea He loves that little girl
Momma's waitin to tuck her in as she fumbles up those stairs she smiles back at him draggin that teddy bear sleep tight blue eyes and bouncing curls
and he smiles there goes my life there goes my future my everything I love you Daddy good night there goes my life
She had that Honda loaded down with Abacrombie Cloths and 15 pairs of shoes and his American Express He checked the oil slammed the hood says your good to go she hugs them both and headed off to the west coast
and he cried There goes my life there goes my future my everything I love you Baby good bye there goes my life.
I have touched the back of my mind it's dark corners shaded windows felt the freeze of loneliness an empty pew of one
I have touched inside of my heart felt lost loves, turning defeat into failure tears relived through semi sweet memories wrapped in an empty bag
I have touched the rebirth of my soul Blinded by revelation the good verses the evil Gods' tug of war tearing me to pieces a river of fire forever to be damned for now I wait..
Are you high again Rabid?
Only God Knows why(Kid Rock)
I've been sittin here tryin to find myself I get behind myself I need to rewind myself Lookin for the pay back listen for the play back they say that every man bleeds just like me
I feel like number one yet I'm last in line I watch my youngest son and it helps to pass the time I take to many pills it helps to ease the pain I've made a couple dollar bills still I feel the same
Everybody knows my name they say it way out loud a lot of folks fuck with me it's hard to hang out in a crowd I guess that's the price you pay to be some big shot like I am outstretched hands and one night stands still I can't find love
and when your walls come tumblin down I will always be around
and when your walls come tumblin down I will always be around
People don't know about the things I say and do they don't understand about the shit that I've been through it's been so long since I've been home I've been gone I been gone for way to long maybe I've forgot all the things I miss somehow I know there's more to live than this I've said it to many times and I still stand firm you get what you put in and people get what they deserve still I aint seen mine no I aint seen mine been given just a minion I've been walkin match their line so I think I'll keep a walkin with my head held high I'll keep on movin on if only God knows why only God only God only God knows why
only God knows why Why why why only God knows why take me to the river
That's all for tonight Good night Punk Girl where ever you are
The Rabid one Aka Rabid (Funny how that works) Rabid again. Oh take me to the river
Howdy peeps I know that I haven't been posting a lot lately but I plan to try to update more often. Right now I am trying to learn a couple new tunes so here come more lyrics I am learning. Starting with more Kenny Chesney...Hang with me some of his songs actually have messages something sorely missiing from music for about 20 years. Let's start with "When I close my eyes"
When I close my eyes
There's so many things I didn't say, and even though it may be to late I want you to know I still love you so
Every car that beeped Looks like your car Every movie I see you play the leading part You're on my mind Can't leave you behind
When I close my eyes you're all I see in the dark of night you're in my dreams throughout the day you're easy to find you're always there when I close my eyes
In my mind I know you're far away but here in my heart nothing has changed I'm still holdin you like I use to on a busy street in a crowded room where ever I go it's just me and you together again girl it never ends
When I close my eyes you're all I see in the dark of night you're in my dreams throughout the day you're easy to find you're always there when I close my eyes
Howdy folks the old boy Rabid feels like pickin a little tune how bout this one
Be As You Are
Man I could use a pi-na cola ta. A little bit of sun on my skin, a hammock, a book never gonna look back once my feet hit the sand.
I've had it up to here with this rat race. Need a smile on my face. I wanna go where I can lighten up the load, drive a little while on the wrong side of the road. Get this layin low off to a flying start. Play my guitar in the Caribbean sun. Hang with the locals at the Quiet Monk. Where you can be a tourist, a beach bum or a star and be as you are.
Gettin stuck sure would be easy in this palm tree paradise. Ambition fades with every wave for the finer things in life. Maybe I'll just hang around here, go home later next year. I wanna stay down here and lighten up the load, drive a little while in the wrong side of the road. Get this layin low off to a flying start.
Play my guitar in the Caribbean sun. Hang with the locals at the Quiet Monk, where you can be a tourist, a beach bum or a star. and be as you are I wanna play my guitar in the Caribbean sun, hang with the locals at the Quiet Monk, where you can be a tourist, a beach bum or a star and be as you are. Be as you are.(Kenny Chesney.)
Somewhere in the sun
Stuck here at a Holiday Inn in Austin Texas. Seen all the road that I wanna see. God I hate the snow, they even canceled the show. Makes me long for where I really wanna be.
Oh I wish I was there tonight on Yost Van Dyke. Sippiin on some Foxes' Fire water rum. oh kickin back without her with all my friends down in the islands it wouldn't take much for me to up and run to another life somewhere in the sun
Got cold the heat isn't on only one channel on the TV and me and Barney on Nick at nite seen an add for Mexico God I really wanna go anywhere outta mind and outta sight
Oh I wish I was there tonight on Yost Van Dyke sippin on some foxes' fire water rum oh kickin back without her with all my friends down in the islands wouldn't take much for me to up and run to another life somewhere in the sun
Here's a toast to you on the coast and the sailors out at sea drink your ales hoist your sails ride the wind and think of me
Cause I wish I was there tonight on Yost Van Dyke sippin on some foxes' fire water rum kickin back with out her with all my friends down in the islands wouldn't take much for me to up and run to another life somewhere in the sun.
Every now and then I get a little lost my strings all get tangled my wires all get crossed
Every now and then I'm right upon the edge dangling my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun when I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run all wild eyed and crazy no matter where my recluse soul takes me baby you save me
It's hard lovin a man that's got a gypsy soul I don't know how you do it not sure how you know the perfect thing to say to save me from myself you're the angle that moves in me like nobody else and I thank God you do
when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun when I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run all wild eyed and crazy no matter where my recluse soul takes me baby you save me
I know I don't tell you nearly enough I couldn't live one day without your love When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves up on a hire wire that's ready to break when I've had just about all I can take Baby you Baby you save me
when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun when I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run all wild eyed and crazy no matter where my recluse soul takes me baby you save me(Kenny Chesney)
Hey kids The Monkees had a novel idea in a little tune called Zor and Zam,
Zor and Zam
The King of Zor he called for a war, and the King of Zam he answered. They fashioned their weapons one upon one ton upon ton. They called for war at the rise of the sun.
Out went the call to one and to all that echoed and rolled like the thunder Trumpets and drums lore upon lore more upon more rolling the call of come now to war
Throughout the night they fashioned their might with right on the side of the mighty they puzzled their minds plan upon plan man upon man and at the dying of dawn the great war began.
They met on the battle field banner in hand they looked out across the vacant land they counted the missing one upon one none upon none the war it was over before it begun
Two little Kings playing a game they gave a war and nobody came and nobody came and nobody came and nobody came and nobody came nobody came nobody came
My thanks to Davy, Mickey, Mike and Peter, without them this post wouldn't have happened...Novel idea but as with all the novel ideas of the 60's you know like world peace and feeding the hungry and protecting the innocent...well kids they went the way of the 20 dollar sack and the dinosaurs.
Making a comeback to LJ Rabid Maybe next time you will get something new from me in the form of a new poem. Rabid again.
No I can't forget this evening or your face as you were leaving but I guess that's just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow when I think of all my sorrow when I had you there but then I let you go and now it's only fair that I should let you know what you should know
I can't live if living is without you I can't live I can't give anymore I can't live if living is without you I can't give I can't give anymore
Well I can't forget this evening or your face as you were leaving but I guess that's just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows yes it shows
Can't live if living is without you I can't live I can't give anymore I can't live if living is without you I can't live I can't give anymore if living is without you
crazy
