Can't Kick The Habit

Can't kick that habit
I guess you know
Odd conversation
But here I go
I can't stand it
Facing this alone
Don't change the subject
If it's not clear
Don't say you're sorry
Then disappear
Because that means nothing
Nothing if your not here
Can't turn it off and on(3x)
CHORUS:
I can sing
But I can't sigh
I can barely breathe the air I need
To justify why I sink so low
To get so high
I can't kick the habit
To save my soul
1 foot in heaven
1 in the hole
I'm out of focus
In a poison picture show
Can't turn it off and on (3x)
CHORUS:
If I let you in
Will you let me in? (4x)

Can't Say No

You came to stay a long time ago
It was my wild
Your special touch
My mind's been busted up
My feelings like rocks nowhere to run
Been out of touch
Yeah, I can't say no
I can't say no
Yeah, that's the way it goes
Speedin' down your arteries
Freeway to your heart
Runnin' hot
Sworn by conviction
Metal train will go back
Even when there's no tracks
It's you by raw intention
Yeah, I can't say no
I can't say no
Yeah, that's the way it goes
Red light on my mind
Burnin' through my head
Lookin' all ways
A lot of pretty faces
A few you can trust
Take a chance,
You know you gotta.
Yeah, I can't say no
I can't say no
Yeah, that's the way it goes
That's the way it goes, yeah, yeah

Cleopatra's Cat

Cleopatra's favorite cat
Got his hands on Caesar's spats
The heat was on as you could see
So he front 'em to Mark Antony.
Said, "My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me."
Brutus had an eye for clothes
He saw them spats and said, "I like those."
Caesar had no thing to say, except,
"Jesu Christi Domine,
Et tu, Brute,
Jesu Christi Domine,
Et tu, Brute."
The senate tried to sympathize
It was the cat they should despise
Informant told his whereabouts
Centurions to seek him out
Centurions! There go the centurions.
Brutus had to turn his head
When THIS cat done went and said,
"If he's got this thing for shoes,
He just might be ambitious, too.
They got holidays all in his name,
And all a tyrant needs is fame.
Those fascists don't play pretty games
Egypt is the place to be...
But Rome is a democracy.
Rome!"
Caesar never got them back
'Cause they killed his ass in the second act.
Brutus spoke, then Antony:
Said, "My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me.
Friends, Romans, can't you see
My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me
Egypt's biggest rivalry:
Cleopatra's cat and me."

Cop That The Robber

This cop that the robber is thinkin of
Stole his heart and they fell in love
They was makin love at the scene of the crime
Drinkin a gram of gin with a twist of lime

Commissioner never heard about it
Well, hed throw her in and hed kick him out
But oh to him she could never lie
And hed steal anything that up and caught her eye

Said oh your occupation
Is not the vital information
I love the woman in your eyes;
Youre some fun I recognize

He said stealin right now is where Im at
He searched his heart and he could deal with that
She said detective work is my chosen line

Said oh your occupation
Is not the vial information
I love the woman in your eyes;
Youre some fun Im gonna recognize

She never got ? you know she did
I wanna settle down, I wanna have a kid
She tore off her mask, said I love you
He stole her ring and said I love you too

Said oh your occupation
Is not the vial information
I love the woman in your eyes;
Youre some fun I recognize

Creation

What happens as these rare strange beautiful, beautiful objects stray the ached earth?
Perhaps they whisper more readily from the shoulder of motherhood.
But they are far far harder to mark from the singing spark flaming grindstone.
Fire ward their cases lay hollow in the separate mystic place they come from

Dart Tossin’ Blues

You trampled on my poor boy feet tonight
Oh, you trampled on my poor boy feet tonight
You got me out on the edge of the universe

Tell me why my baby you got your work coat on

That only leaves one thing baby to toss my blue dart on
(only one, now)

Diamond

You know my boat has holes
I see you brought your gales
I see you brought you souls
To leave inside my sales
And oh I love you all
Others more than some
You dear best of all
Know where my boat is from

Oh I love you all
Others more than some
Dear you best of all
Know where my boat is from

She had eyes all wild and free
And she had the soul of a guitar
Like a diamond on the sea
Like a stolen burning star

There was no playing lame
There was no playing dumb
You know she knew my name
And where my boat is from
All my rights and wrongs
You know she knew the sum
You know she knew my song
And where my boat is from

Oh I love you all
Others more than some
Dear you best of all
Know where my boat is from
You know where my boat is from
My boat is from...

The diamonds brightly burn
Inside my brokeen heart
We never did return
We never can depart
Don't know where I been
I don't know where to come
And I've had to swim
To where my boat is from

Oh I love you all
Others more than some
Dear you best of all
Know where my boat is from
You know where my boat is from
My boat is from...

Dodging Assassins

Your voice was frightened and kind of dreamy
You said you simply had to see me
And there you were with your martini
Your diamonds were large and your dress was teeny

Dodging assassins two by two
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too

Your words had me shaken
Your dress had me stirred
I guess I didn't answer
'cause you asked if I had heard
In your face I watched the lines
The growing lines of anguish
In the air I watched the smoke
From your cigarette languish
There in your face I saw the light
Like you, a fugitive of the night
I took a shot and said that I might
Help you to dodge your assassins

Dodging assassins two by two
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too

Like Dorathy I fall...
Little dog and all

There's vampires in the sun
My dear one, they want a piece of you
They want your ruby slippers, baby
And I know they want your little dog, too

Dodging assassins two by two
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog, too...

I don't know why
They want you dead
But now that I've helped you
I think they also want my head
I don't know why they want a piece of you
They want your ruby slippers and your little dog too

Dogs On A Doe

Riches and roads bring brigands hither
Riches and roads bring brigands bold
Brigands deck their ears with hoops of silver
Brigands diz? their ears with hoops of gold
Threshes can make a broom to sweep up threshes
Straws can make a broom to sweep up straw
Spilt milk makes a pool for drowning fishes
Lovers make a virtue of a flaw

Angels above, devils below
Flies on honey
Dogs on a doe
Dogs on a doe

South wind sues the seer with songs of mildness
North wind sues the seer with songs of ice
Kings can make a war to sue for sugar
Queens can make a war to sue for spite

Angels above, ......
