A man walks into a bar
he says
why don’t you give me a drink?
bartender says, I got something for you
tell me what do you think?
the man takes the drink
the man drinks the drink
he says
that’s one fine drink
next day the man is back at the bar
he asks for that same drink
bartender says ‘I’ve got something you’ll like
a little more distinct
the man takes the drink
the man drinks the drink
he doesn’t like the drink
some days are cloudy
some are fair
some clouds bring rain
some clouds bring hail
each night I wait here
come what may
day after day
these clouds remain
sometimes I wonder
if we’ll survive
I sleep to dream
I sleep to dream
I sleep to dream
I sleep to dream
day after that, our man is back
he says
can you give me a drink?
Can you give me that drink?
bartender says
I got just what you need
if you give me a chance
Just one more chance
The man takes the drink
the man drinks the drink
the man hates the drink
he says
well what the hell was that?
bartender says
that was the drink
the very same drink.
The exact same drink.
And the man looks at the bartender and he looks at the drink
and he look at the bartender and he looks at the drink
and he thinks
and he says, uh
no, that’s not it!

ne mogu se baviti vremenom
vreme prolazi i ostavlja te iza
proteže se daleko, dalje i dalje
izvan beskraja
uskoro nas više biti neče
samo prašina i zaborav
vreme je užasna ljubavnica
iskrada se bez drugog poljubca

fly away from here
let’s get as far as we can
there’s no life down there
evolution has failed
life among the stars
it’s not as cool as you’d think
loneliness, my friend
this bitter wine we must drink
lost in time and space
hardly worth all the fuss
commandeered at nine
it’s not like I had a choice
gaseous streams of light
inanimate, so cold
beautiful, yet dead
companions to my soul
some would envy me
some would call me a fool
there’s no turning back
and no one waiting for me
they’re long dead and gone
not that it matters to me
all these frozen worlds - maybe
life is not what it seems?
there goes your sentient regime

winter shudders in
snow and sleet and angel's wing
burned on the combine
spring is far from thaw
all our harvest under ice
as days grow longer
straw and chaff and bone
scant reminders promise coin
of days frothcoming

Night falls fast in shuttered rooms
East End – crowded, smoke-filled
predatory precipice – look out!
Don’t fall, this time
Scan the urban wilderness
those eyes, staring silent
“would you mind if I -”
(well that didn’t go so good...
let’s try that again)
Look at the pretty cats, I say
she says nothing
Suddenly the tables turn
I am… helpless
falling down
feel the pull
from the shadows
fall from grace
these games we play
in the shadows
can not sustain
tell me again what am I
doing in this place?
something inside tells me that
we are not the same
still I’m here a shadow
of what I might have been
convince me, reassure me
there is more than this
just the same, I really doubt that
I will ever change

hands are weak and body frail
forty years to get this far
now it seems that no one cares
hey Vince, you never said it was gonna this hard
here you are, the gate has shut
you’re just an audience of one
a few old friends, they have you pegged
well, I guess he’s not hurting anyone
don’t let your heroes grow up to be mortal
don’t ever lose that restless sea
if you do, you just might find
what it was, was never meant to be
even now your time is short
your future’s set as it can be
paths are down to just a few
you know, it seemed like a good idea at the time!
don’t let your idols lose their luster
but you gotta see right through that sheen
don’t look too hard or you might just see
a reflection of of who you might have been

out of Nothing I created you
a cyber-notion of beatitude
you were nothing ‘til today
out of darkness I have rescued you
nothing less than any god would do
rise and feel the sun
a little gratitude is surely due
after all I have created you
welcome to the world

Brain Fog

when I was young the thoughts, they came
never at a loss…
shimmering and magical
ingenious, fantastical, one all
no stopping them, no time to waste
write them down, don’t wait, posthaste
young boy...
now I am old, my thoughts, they fade
deep in this fog, within my brain
you chase them down, they disappear
they flutter by, they rip and tear
they slip between your fingertips
they’re on the breeze, they’re in the air
never to be heard again
these fragile dreams, by light of day
they die
memories are who we are
and when they’re gone, just who is it remains?
when all you are is stripped away
who are you when nothing else remains?
when all you are is stripped away
who are you when nothing else remains?
nothing else remains...
