Dancing Queen

Angle wings 

Broken wings

Broken heart

Where did it all start?

Cupids arrows

Broken arrows

never been 

a dancing queen

Dance with me

till my heart 

is broken

Dance with me 

try not to 

forget all the 

words I have spoken

Dance with me

our love's so 

bright, how could 

it have been right?

I have to leave

or I'll die in your arms.

I      I     I

And I

I      I     I

And I

I'm going to

set fire to this

Western Sky

I     I      I

And I

I'm going to

burn these mountains

to ashes - and

down to the ground

I     I      I

And I

I'm going to

swim these rivers

of blood to the

Black Sea

I'm going to

preach the Mass

for the Dead

And I

I'm going to

sing Psalms

And I

I'm going home

Show me the way

And I

I'm going home

Show me the way home.

Titled: Apple of Eden

I want

the deaf to scream out

a new language

Naked

and real

Soft

and clear

near

This cry will ring . . .

I hear a very gentle sound

a baby boy

cry's in a Virgin's womb

the immaculate

love is not a deception

We pray for protection

     Dance in

the long green grass

     get tempted

in fields of grain

     starve

and question pain

     see

reflections in the rain

     eat

    your apple

    Freedom

it hurts to be free

Naked

and real

Soft

and clear

near

This cry will ring . . .

trembling feeble knee's

  wrapped in soft wool of infancy

  before the alter of sacrifice

  ready to abandon life

Miracles on the street

  as coins splash

                      the market with rage

we should all be

                      liars and thieves

and be baptized in fools gold

Father - have mercy on us.

Keep it in

knife your skin

I can hardly write

I'm not so bright

Sacrifice

the

lamb

Price?

Did Judas ever

  pay the price?

You can always

  change your name

You can always

  change your name

Let's get to the

 heart of the matter

Did Jesus ever

 walk on water

or was he

 the daughter

No fish in the sea

where would we be

We are all children

We are all sons

I love you

so much

I will kill you first

Holy Ghost

will raise your soul

Who would ever do

that to their Sun

Quiet

I have only just begun.

Titled: Blow Wind Blow

Blow wind blow

Wild flower blow

down dream street

In a field of rain

In a love of pain

Wild flower set in

a bleeding sun

Carry me

to the Sun of treasures

In an ocean of waves

You will caress my shore.

Titled: Vernissage

My palette

           is a prisoner

My brushes

           are inmates

Mankind

           rapes

                 the land

Big Brother

I have no control

I do all I can

What else can I do

red

orange

black

blue

My canvas

           soaks up the oil

           dries and goes hard

on the wall

I feel framed.

Titled:  Dead Sea

I've seen deserts

 that were once oceans

I've seen full moons

 eclipsed by the sun

I've seen mountains

 of love crumble to the sea

I'm walking

 on thin air

What does she care

I speak no words to be heard

Swim in my

Swim in her dead sea

I'm drown' in

  in her dead sea

I'm crawling

 on my knees

in her dead sea.
