Bunch of vagabonds who only do two things well, make music, and make love!!!!! http://www.random-noise.com/audio.html

Hi gang, I'm mostly a lyricist, but lately I've taken to recording my my songs myself Ha!!!! Well I don't play an instrument so I just sing to the melody of the moment in my head and I guess you could call the style spoken word. Soon I will be presenting you guys with a comedy cd. Each song will come with it's own home video; trust me it's gonna be a lot of fun.....and work, but for you it's all fun!!!!!

Lyrics

Elementary 

the rats were shadow boxing
i was injecting toxins
it was the only life i knew
Tommy was doing Sheila
Sally was doing Tommy
one plus one never equaled two 

at the bottom there are always stains
killing pain with pain
will never get you closer to the truth
a devilish grin was all i could muster
when the man said i was busted
smacked in the face, and i didn't have a clue 

in the penitentiary
i learned how to say grace
it's really elementary
when the facts can't be erased 

three square and a bunk mate
another guest of the state
of mind that doesn't see through
to the inside of a prison
that refused to listen
to the inception of the blues 

the closer i looked the uglier it got
temples dripping sweat, i wanted one last shot
one last chance at being new
when i heard your laughter
i saw the ever after
i knew it was you 

in the penitentiary
i learned how to say grace
it's really elementary
when the facts can't be erased
