Let us celebrate each other while we're still here.

When I go
I want you to know
I never meant nothing

Take me out to the fields
burn the body
Take me out to the fields and burn me
or you can love me anyway
Yeah, you can love me just the same

When I go
I want you to know
I never meant nothing

My Plane To Crash (oh Lord)

9/9/2013

An angry prayer.

MY PLANE TO CRASH (OH LORD)- Standing Between the Day and Night

Holding my baby in my arms
Watching her feeding off me
And sometimes I get happy looking down at her
And sometimes I just want to put her in a basket
and leave her at your doorstep

I wonder why some people go away
so soon before their time
Are they just feeling sorry for themselves
or do they hear somebody who is crying for them
somewhere else

I killed a man today but I did not think about it
I left him there to die in the gutter on the roadside
He raped a girl last year but he did not think about it
He left her there to die in the gutter on the roadside

And they tell me killing's not the answer
And they tell me we got a reason to live

I don't know anyone like you
I don't know why I'm not like you

Standing between the day and night
Watching them pointing at me
And sometimes I get happy being all alone
And sometimes I just want to put you in my pocket
and take you everywhere I go

What if you murdered me tonight
What if I fell out of the sky
What if I wait around for more
I can't see anything that's right

What if you murdered me tonight
What if I fell out of the sky
What if I wait around for more
I can't see anything
And sometimes I don't want to be a part of this
like someone who I once knew
And you know who you are

I don't know anyone like you
I don't know why I'm not like you

And you know who you are
And you know who you are
I know who you are

"Be willing to change as fast as God" - don Miguel Ruiz

LONG LOST SON - Long Lost Sun

Ma, where are you now
Why aren't you here where I can see
I've gone away

I'm your boy and you don't even know it
I'm your boy and you don't even care
Got my skin and my markings to show it
Got your nose and my daddy's hair

Well I can smell a lie when I see one
and I can smell the truth when it's there
I can smell when you want me to be home
Got your nose and my daddy's hair

Ma, where are you now
I close my eyes and I see you cry

Where did I go wrong? You say
Where did I go wrong
Where did I go wrong? You say
Where did I go wrong
I see you cry and I love you so

You look like you've seen a ghost
It's just your long lost son
You look like you've seen a ghost
but I have just been born
Where are you now
I see you cry
And I've gone away

Ma, oh ma

I've Been To Manhattan

"A Manhattan is a cocktail made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. Commonly used whiskeys include rye (the traditional choice), Canadian whisky (simply called Rye in Canada), bourbon, blended whiskey and Tennessee whiskey." - Wikipedia

I'VE BEEN TO MANHATTAN - single - music video

Feeling fine, Manhattan
Ready to make my mark
I'm where it's all happenin'
This is where I start
to dream big, know it
to stand tall and show it
My night may have started
down in the low
But I've been to Manhattan so

I'm flyin high feelin fine
I won't lie, I know what's mine
You left me high and dry
sent me packin'
But I'm doin' fine here
In Manhattan

The lights shine up the city
and the bartender is pretty
Now I'm sure he's seen
the likes of me before
But he smiles and he listens
and he pours

I drink deep to forget ya
and I curse the day that I met ya
You may have left me out in the cold
but I've been to Manhattan so

I'm flyin high feelin fine
I won't lie, I know what's mine
You left me high and dry
sent me packin'
But I'm doin' fine here
In Manhattan

"Deja me sola, como moleste, I am tired let me rest. Some say Apache, some say Comanche. No me recuerdo, deja me."
I never learned to speak Spanish fluently, and the only Spanish in my memory is broken. - SMF

LEGEND - Long Lost Sun

She washes me and sings to me "Cucaracha"
almost every night of my life
She sings to me the French version of "Farajaka"
but forgets to teach me how to sing to her

Wash this brown out of us, it's the only way we'll make it
If you say it's 'cause you're lazy, you lie
Thank you for a better life, I don't mean to be ungrateful
You took us from the valley, you tried

You could have dumped us in the river
crying all the time
You could have been a legend
Instead you went inside

Deja me sola
Como moleste
I am tired let me rest

Some say Apache
Some say Comanche
No me recuerdo
Deja me

I could have been a martyr
dying and in pain
I could have made you holy
instead I gave you shame

Wash this brown out of us, it's the only way we'll make it
If you say it's for the better you deny
Thank you for the lessons, I don't guess I'd change a moment
I don't blame you, but I wish that you'd have tried

Wash this brown out of us, it's the only way we'll make it
If you say it's 'cause you're lazy, you lie
Thank you for a better life, I don't mean to be ungrateful
You took us from the valley, you tried

Cucaracha cucaracha
Cucaracha cucaracha
Cucaracha cucaracha
Cucaracha cucaracha... ay ay ay ay

She washes me and sings to me "Cucaracha"
almost every night of my life
