The Same Song
Same song
Every night
When I feel like dancing
You just wanna hold me tight
I can dance alone
It’s probably better anyway
This is like keeping me on the phone
But partying lets me say,
I want to be free
To move from here to there
I want to be free
In a world that doesn’t care
As long as I share
I want to be free
Still closer to thee
I want to be
What freedom has for me
If I twirl too much
Don’t be quick to think I’m dizzy
Just because I move when you try to touch
My hand, and I hear you say, “Is he always this busy?”
“Do you always have to be this busy?”
What if I don’t want to stand or sit still
All the time, it’s just not enough
Maybe it’s not my will with so much time to kill
Making life more rough with lifeless stuff
My dance floor is the earth’s store
And it gives me so much more when I don’t sit still
Like biting into an apple’s core
The seeds inside are like a pill,
keeping peace at will, seeds that thrill
Change the song
And you’ll see my new clothes
Sure as the day’s gone long
Even the Emperor holds a white rose
Change the tune
I’ll help you learn to step right
I’ve been to the moon and you can soon
If you stop putting up a fight and follow the light
(Casket) Ready
Adieus bidded
Pictures painted
Two hours on this stage
Still performing
Until
no makeup is needed
Even answering to Freddy
lets you know you
are funeral ready
At any time
In any place
You are
Because you have made amends
How can there be sorrow
when yesterday
they all looked forward to
a better tomorrow
Sometimes they never knew
you were bidding adieu
Then again
Neither did you
Those fond memories
Oh how
they linger on
Of Life and Living
What Man
looks at a child
for the measure of his life
The backseat driver
caught looking right
appears to question the future
whereas a long glare left
spells déjà vu
The Man in the Rearview Mirror
chooses to look back
while the back sees only
his back
and the occasional Zorro-esqueness
Does the backseat smile
or does it stream tears and wails
heading down the highway
with life
driven by stability or insecurity
What Man
allows a backseat driver ride
without protection
Yet dictating his destination
Halting or enhancing
the end result
