I know now
what you feel like

Exactly how
you like to be held

To be loved
the right way to kiss

With you
it only took two days

Its just easy
and then you leave me

Clocks in her hair
Time on her side

Her head is spinning
Hips side to side

And we wind
Intertwined

Like time and space
Have just now colli-

Dead

Did You Hear The One About...

The lonely circus clown
Who painted a smile over his frown
A man can't hide the fact he's feeling down
Even if he is a circus clown

Did You Hear The One About...

The man who went to war
With no idea of what he was fighting for
Perhaps to even up the score
Of the men who sent him off to war

Did You Hear The One About...

The greedy politician man
Who in his greed for power was caught playing Uncle Sam
Never to revel the cards he held in his hand
Sounds like any other greedy politician man

Did You Hear The One About...*

The homeless man who spoke the truth
Who tried his best in life to change the hearts of youth
Crying out in the streets in hopes that all men knew
The simple truth that this man held on to
He says good morning and sits alone,
She sits surrounded by people but feels alone,
He checks his phone,
And smiles,
She is thinking aboot the miles,
But they forget,
He has nothing set,
She has everything but still feels upset,
And they havnt even met,
He has regrets he can't forget,
She takes a drag of a cigarette
Another day is passing,
He feels everything massing,
She feels done,
But looks at her kids to feel the sun,
He's going down a dead end street,
She is cleaning to a beat,
And they are both going a hundred miles,
To the end of meanwhiles,
That should be real,
He looks with lonesome eyes at every meal,
She's trying to remember what it means to feel,
They will not meet,
But still they smile all the same,
This show will end lame,
But it started with an alright scene
Yesyes I know I used the last line before, but ****** I love it haha..
I'm in love with a 33 year old..

Standing on the razors edge
Between darkness and light

Sitting in a folding chair
On the left side of right

Waving in the direction
Of hello and goodbye

Twisted in between the scene
Of I will and might

Climbing on the silver ladder
Of the ups and downs

Stuck somewhere in time
Of standing still and going round

Stuffed deep down in a box
Labeled Lost and Found

Pulling myself out of
Giving up and giving out

Hanging on wherever
Between the never know and there about

Knocking on the oak door
In the frame of in and out

Standing on the shore line
Of the river of dreams and waves of doubt

This is where I find myself
So many times just hanging out

My job is to bake cakes
I once magically created cakes of every hue
Cakes that tasted like fruit or cream
And others that were super sweet
Still, others that were filling and heathy
I was only limited to my creativity

Then the cake bosses
Ordered me to bake only vanilla cakes
They said that all cakes are the same
And my cakes must meet their standards
Yet their criteria was vanilla and plain
I was forced to throw off the fruit and cream
And mute the rainbow of colors
Even to add vanilla and sugar to my heathy cakes

If that wasn't bad enough
The cake bosses pressured me to fill unrealistic quotas
And to treat all of the cakes the same
Even though they are, naturally, flavored differently
Then my budget was cut and bakers were downsized
Next, I had more cakes to bake and less time to prepare
I was even told to do without eggs and milk
But the cakes must meet even higher standards

How does this taste?
Does it leave a bad taste in your mouth too?
It's not a piece a cake
But I choose to bake on
Believing that I can still bake special cakes
The batter just gets thicker everyday
Obviously, this is metaphorical. I think it applies to way too many jobs today.

I'm going to take myself to dinner
Guess you could say a date
I'll make sure to bring myself home early
I know how I hate to stay out late

I'll order off a fancy French menu
Just to try and impress myself
Cause when it is that I go out
I treat myself like no one else

I'll carry on  a great conversation
But of course underneath my breath
I don't want those at the next table
To think I'm talking to myself

I might even order off the desert menu
Though I know I'm trying to watch my weight
I'll ask for one spoon instead of two
Don't want to get too weird on this date

When the bill does come around
I won't hesitate to pick it up
And I won't rudely gasp and comment
That I think I ordered the expensive grub

I'll drive straight back to the house
Then tell myself goodnight
Saying I had the best of times
Then go inside and shut the lights

Houston,
We seem to have a problem
Love never took off
The way we were expecting

After all the flowers
And all the money spent
We never had a go
We never made a dent

Houston,
All systems have shut down
We never could get this love affair
Up off the ground

10, 9, 8
7 and then 6
That's only as far
As this countdown went

Houston,
Could we give it another try
Isn't there a back up
Could we launch this thing at night

Although a love like this
Has been in the plan for years
All it is that we have left
Is a control room full of tears

Houston,
We seem to have a problem
Love never took off
The way we were expecting
