To Paraphrase

This road is my life
Speeding through the night
I have been to these places
For barely a moment
Wide awake
Sometimes sleeping
Sometimes watching
Sometimes dreaming
Through stroby towns
Too fast to know their names
Too fast to know if I came or will come again
Sleeping towns joined together
By the Parallel lines
Parallel lives
You and I
We’re movie-rich
We’re reflected in the window
The dark night’s black mirror [...]

Magician

Magician take me upon your wings and … gently roll the clouds away.  I’m sorry so sorry I have no incantations only words to help sweep me away.  I want some magic to sweep me away. I want some magic to sweep me away. I want to count to five turn around and find [...]

Pornographic, Fear Mongering Moneychangers.

I have heard the opinion of men I respect regarding the sensationalism of the end times. Certain books, movies and songs have played upon the fear of well meaning Christians for what seems like nothing more than making a quick, easy buck. (I’m thinking of YOU, Kirk Cameron.)
Just when I thought I had seen the [...]

Looking for God on Speed Street

A thousand people in the square today
Pushing by – never come face to face
There might as well be no-one here at all
And I’m so lonely I could cry myself to sleep
I’m hungry for some kind of sign from You
Any excuse for something to say
I’m trembling now there’s nothing I can do
I’m scared in case I [...]

Biggest Laugh in Weeks

Garfield Minus Garfield
Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated [...]

Hollow Man

I think I have become one of the hollow men
As I shine on the outside more these days
I can feel the outside feeding on my inside
Leaves a growing darkness in it’s place
I think I have become one of the lonely
Now that everybody talks to me
I feel I have become one of the empty
Hollow men can [...]

My Complex

Wendy
Darling
In the kitchen
With your dreams
Will you fly again
Take to the sky again
Undo the Hooks
Once and for all
Banish the tic tok (tic tok tic tok)
Again
Will you be
Yourself for me
Cause I can take it
I can stand
Anything
When you’re with me
I can stand it
I can stand
But when you’re gone
I never land
In Neverland
Want to be someone someone would want to [...]

This Clipped Engine

And ever since I was a boy
I never felt that I belonged
Like everything they did to me
Was an experiment to see
How I would cope with the illusion
In which direction would I jump
Would I do it all the same
As the actors in the game
Or would I spit it back at them
And not get caught up in [...]

Give Peace a Chance?

My friends, we are faced today with what can only be described as an act of war.
As you music fans may know, this week Amnesty International released an album of John Lennon cover songs to benefit Darfur. Naturally Irish rockers U2 stepped up to the bat and recorded an excellent version of “Instant Karma”.
Then [...]

When I Meet God

I crawled around inside myself
It was a long way down
It was a mine and it was mine
And in the darkness
I saw a perfect mirror
Floating in space
When I meet God
I’m going to ask Him
What makes Him cry
What makes Him laugh
Are the stars just holes in Indigo glass?
Does He know why
Love has no end
But it’s a dark-angel [...]
