Casino Moon
All the houses seemed low, gray, and falling apart. No matter how much i'd struggled and hustled, it seemed i hadn't really gone anywhere.

World is Upside Down
Well i see that
The world is upside down
My pockets were filled up with gold
Now the clouds have covered o'er
And the wind blows cold
I don't need anybody
Because i learned to be alone
And anywhere
I lay my head boys
I will call my home
Anywhere I Lay My Head

Dark Dove
In the uncertain hour at morning
Near the ending of interminable night
At the recurrent end of the unending
After the dark dove with the flickering tongue
Had passed below the horizon of his homing
While the dead leaves still rattled on like tin
Over the asphalt where no other sound was

It Still Casts
Incredibly it still casts it's fetid, doom-laden spell every time.

Can Hear Them
Inside her dressing room Gypsy reclines on a chaise longue and holds a glass of brandy in shaking hands. The smoky sweet scent of knockwurst drifts over from her hot plate, but her appetite is gone. She can hear them, the dull thrum of their expectations, the drumbeat chants her name.

Nothing in Her Way
The apartment was on the ninth floor. I stood by the big windows and looked out over the bay. It was sparkling and clear in the morning sunshine, and i could see a boat going out to Alcatraz. They've got a view over there too, i thought, but they don't like it. A whole rock covered with tough guys and wisenheimers who knew more than the cops. And just beyond, out of sight up the bay, was San Quentin, where the state of California kept it's smart characters who could never be caught.
