Radio Dream

I want my very own radio show
Before radio is absolutely obsolete
So I can inflict my tastes
Upon an unsuspecting world

I can’t play an instrument
Hell I can barely play a radio
But I know what I like
And I know where I want to go

I’ll be happy to share
The occasional joke
Or a hempen toke of holy smoke
With like minded folk
For old time’s sake

And a profound observation or two
At two or three in the caffeine break of dawn
Stay tuned
We’ll be right back after a word from our sponsor

The Meaning of Life

To sit in the almost dark of an Interstate motel room
With a bottle of whiskey and a Camel cigarette
Lit with the matches the underpaid maid
Left in the room with the clean towels and the change of linen
That will never see innocence again
And marvel at the perfect architecture of her hip
This is the meaning of life

The seven o’clock continental breakfast
Cold stale cereal and hot stale coffee
Made beige with the ersatz half and half
Brought to the breakfast bar by the underpaid lackey
Who will never see any continent other than the one in which he is currently stuck
By sorry circumstance
Probably somewhere in Texas

Load up the car
Rub the grainy sleep out of red tired eyes
Just like in the commercials
We got about a hundred million miles yet to go
To do whatever it is that we do
To pay whatever bills we owe
This is the meaning of life

Jane

Lamar Deal

Jane wakes up

She takes a spike

She drives it in her arm

Her eyes roll back

Her jaw goes slack

Prepares to buy the farm

If Jane should die before she wakes

That’s just a chance that Janie takes

And every day is a brand new day for Jane

Jane goes to bed

She rests her head

Prepares to go to sleep

She says a prayer

Into the air

The Lord her soul to keep

If Jane should wake before she dies

You’ll see the pain in Janie’s eyes

And every day is a brand new day for Jane

Every day

And every minute

And everything that’s in it

Every day is a brand new day for Jane

The pain in Jane

Lies mainly in her brain

And every day’s

A brand new day for Jane
