My House Is A Very, Very, Very Fine House

In my house, the level of levity is high
don't come here if you can't take a joke
the incense you smell is sarcasm or cigarettes

this is the smoking section,
the breathing section is outside
I allow you to come, but I'll tell you to leave
if you can't take a joke

in my house there is humor
rough and tumble, bullet holes in the walls
whores and gamblers like it here
they will gladly take you for a joke

my house is a camp of the unlikely
insomniac virtuosos crash on the couch
I don't mind if you sleep past noon
as long as you can take a joke

I'll light the fire
And you place the flowers in the jar
That you bought yesterday

Post by **Doreen Peri** » October 9th, 2008, 4:23 pm

I could say it's in my way

when I find a place inside a laugh
separate the wheat from the chaff
i feel like i owe it to someone

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead bring us back to where they've led
Listen not to what's been said to you

All aboard this train

Take the train from Casablanca going south,
blowing smoke rings from the
corners of my mouth.
Colored cottons hang in the air,
charming cobras in the square.
Striped djellebas we can wear at home.

HE WAS TIRED OF BEIN' POOR
AND HE WASN'T INTO SELLIN' DOOR TO DOOR
AND HE WORKED LIKE THE DEVIL TO BE MORE
A DIFFERENT KIND OF POVERTY NOW UPSETS ME SO
NIGHT AFTER SLEEPLESS NIGHT I WALK THE FLOOR AND WANT TO KNOW
WHY AM I SO ALONE?
WHERE IS MY WOMAN?
CAN I BRING HER HOME?
HAVE I DRIVEN HER AWAY?
IS SHE GONE?

my house
is a very very very lonely house
i had two cool cats but one couldn't
stay in the yard so i guess he
got run over or drank some anti-freeze
and the other one stalks the neighbor's
rabbit hutch and pisses on the other
neighbor's tires so neither neighbor
likes me much and i don't care

life used to be so hard
now every thing is harder
but i can't blame you
'cause you left too
doobie doobie doobie doo

Blind man running through the light of the night

With an answer in his hand

Come on down to the river of sight

And you can really understand

Red lights flashing through the window in the rain

Can you hear the sirens moan

White cane lying in a gutter in the lane

If you're walking home alone

Don't let it bring you down

It's only castles burning

Find someone who's turning

And you will come around
