Blues for Winter

I saw the devil, he had a flaming crown.
I can tell you true, this place is burning down.
This ain't my home no more.
From what I see, looking out my back door.
So many players seem to forget the score.
From shore to shore, this ain’t my home no more.
My baby boarded a train, a hundred coaches long.
She got on that train, she's been and gone.
You can’t burn out the devil; only wait until Winter.

Gaze Detection

I don’t believe in no ESP, just what these pupils see.
Eyes could be anywhere; and most people don’t give a care.
Sacrifice privacy, for a minute chance at fame.
No caution given, to the world it’s just a game.
I’ve got that gaze detection, no one’s got a bead on me.
Look in my direction, a ghost is all you’ll see.
I’ve got that gaze detection, and I’m gonna take what’s mine.
They’ll pursue every path until I fall in line.
Remember 20 years ago? Imagine what we now know?
Convenience at the speed of thought,
for a country ”On the Go”.
It’s just hard to conceive with such clarity.
That we’d give it gladly; our precious security.

Rivets

Stare more at your work and less at the sky.
Things will get better in the sweet by and by!
The man at the top, makes enough to feed ten.
This is the way that it always has been.
A thing in the shadows called out in a dream,
Asking me what I wanted to be?
Don’t it feel like you’re getting a raw deal?
People all around, never ask how you feel.
Day after day you have a smile on your face,
But somedays you can’t stand the sight of this place.
Somehow it feels, you’re the one getting screwed.
Makes a man feel like he’s coming unglued.
I’m just a rivet to them, they buy them by the box
I’m glad I don’t fit, I’ll be better off.
There will come a time, when the garbage fills the brim;
Suddenly your prospects don’t seem quite grim.
You work all day long, every day of your life.
Somebody’s around the corner, just waiting to twist the knife
A thing in the shadows called out in a dream.
Asking me what I wanted to be?
Thought a long time, about what made me, me?
Who is it that can tell me who I am?
I’m just a cog in their machine.
Now I’ve been stripped clean.

Mister Television

I woke up one morning,
My TV was walking around like a man.
Said to me, “Listen son - there’s things
that you just don’t understand.”
He said, “That’s okay, boy, that’s just fine -
I’m gonna take care of you, like you was one of my mine.”
First thing showed me was New York City, 7th Avenue.
Showed me all the pretty things, what all the pretty people do
Said to me, “Son, you could have this too - in all due time.
I’ll even show you how, cuz you’re just like a kin of mine.”
Next thing he showed, was one of those old World War’s
Seeing people screaming, all that blood and gore -
He said to me, “It’s alright tho, we’re gonna win in the end –
I’ll never let you down, son, you know I am your friend!”
Mr. Television, he talks so much sense.
Oh, yeah.
Mister Television, Mister T.V.!
Anything that I ever wanted, Mr. TV already knew
Got to be over time, that we became like glue.
I’d say jump, he’d say to me how high?
He’d say “Son, I’ll watch over you till the day you die.”
So, that’s just how it’s been as long as I’ve been upright.
Mr. Television tells me something, I just say ‘alright.’
He’s never told me nothing, I can’t see before my own eyes,
He’s never lied to me, cuz he’s a friend of mine.
Mr. Television, he talks so much sense.
Oh, yeah.
Mister Television, Mister T.V.!
He’s gonna take care of you like he done me.
Mister Television, Mister T.V.!
