Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

waitin' for the
lightnin' to strike!!!

Who am I kidding I ain't oz enough to do five hundred miles on my scooter. Five hundred and fifty actually. Maybe I could meet him halfway.
Ten four on your pic on hte the wall, I had a dream about ted a =? who the hell is ted? I mean I had a dream about the rod a couple of years ago. Dreamt about jimbo and hestoer another time. In the same dream they were. I think they are twins born the same day miles apart.

I was thinking I should wait for clay but then a thought struck me....>>>>>>>>>>
Native Texans are Zionists in their own way. My brother in law is that way, the one I affectionally call The Bear. He just could not live anywhere else but texas.


GO

I looked to the sky
during the last storm
and I didn´t recognize him!
maybe he´s just raising cows somewhere
looking to the horizon
& handing a rifle
while rocking in the porche

Aren't vigils for dying people?
I spoke with him on the phone
last night. He sounded alive.
Said he missed me. I said,
"Let's Cabaradio in Dallas.
You set it up. I'll fly."

Ring ring.
Hello?
Goodbye.

I'll fly away on the wings of a snow white dove
I don't know if I could tell the difference between a pidgeon a dove.
Bird shit is bird shit I suppose

So there you are
The place is not the same with out ya

It is never the same on anyday I suppose,
I been getting superstitious again lately
I wrote the word god as G d, not even a G*d.
I missed The Poets Eye, like I aint been getting my MDA of ironY
Boy I want to go to dallas bad, like the jackpot at the end of the rainbow for so many of them TV evangelentrepreneurs.

"Dallas, Dallas ALice, Dallas from a DC-9 at night
let him roll boys let him roll
I bet his gone to Dallas bless his soul."

what are vigil-aunties then.
vigil for the dead, I think I read something about that, I think I remember from my father's funeral that two guys woould sit up all ngiht beside his coffin and pray.

If you ever get south of wacko I think I could make it to Austin.

birds of a feather
a pigeon is small than a dove I think
I don't know why I thought of that line
fly away
I think I just understood what you said
and for some reason I thought of bird sh*t
Go is a spirit game
I have wimped out so many times here and deleted posts

If you were going to do a show in Dallas Clay I would surely try to make it.

You hardly ever GO do ya
I wish you would
This is my zen board these days
well maybe they all are

bat sh*t
crazy
to think I understand

the empty spaces between the words

just a go agogo
........>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I would talk, but my tongue has been busy licking sores
In Nashville there is asylum for the insane, I fit right in
Christmas was a vacant thing

The crazy soldier who drove me to Dallas hadn't slept in 52 hours
He said he was trained for this sort of thing
At dawn in Texarkana he began hallucinating flocks of crows

I reminded him that crows don't come in flocks, they come in murders
by the time we got to Dallas we were concocting new businesses
like using road-kill rabbits to make ball warmers, you know, scrotum sacks
We were going to call them Global Warmers

Music is about to happen in Dallas.
Lightning Rod is back.

neffer saw the good cide of a sity
Dallas as home for me as much as any place these days
a vagabond soul
I googled that vagabond soul when I tought it was an original thought of mine, they happen so rarely because I have a flair for the obvious.

so any way'
i googled vagabond soul and got about nine milliom hits.
there was even a vagabondsoul.com

it is good to come home
welcome back
