When He is Juiced


           Any musician who says he is playing better on tea, the needle, or when he is juiced is a plain straight liar.

Midnight Lullaby


Sing a song of sixpence, pocketful of Rye
Hush a bye my baby, no need to be crying
You can burn the midnight oil with me as long as you will
Stare out at the moon upon the windowsill and dream
Midnight Lullaby
(Waits)

Only You Can Hear It


         And when you came into the world you had only one privilege and that was the right to howl. And even if you howled too loud or too long someone or something would come along with a big stick and close your mouth. And it was like that even at the end. So you clench your teeth and you do your howling inside where only you can hear it.

Swamp Sister

Had No Home


           He had no home, not even a bank account. I always called him the high-class hobo.
