I heard the news today, oh boy...

We could build cell on cell
Mainline him straight to hell
But that would not dispel
Violent men, hard-headed women, unloved children

Unloved Children - Todd Rundgren

I live in another world
where life and death are memorized
Where the earth is strung with lover's pearls
and all I see are dark eyes.

There's a riot in the courthouse, there's a fire in the street
There's a sinner being trampled by a thousand pious feet
There's a baby every minute being born without a chance
Now don't that make you wanna jump right up and start to dance?

Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Please don't look at me that way,
I can hardly say what I have to say,
There is nothing that I haven't told to you
That I didn't believe you knew.…

...You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round

And if California slides into the ocean
Like the Mystics and Statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing
Until I pay my bill

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity

'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love

Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow, see the things that never come today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over

Nestled in your wings, my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow, see the things that never come today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over

Well she's walking, through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams
And a, fairytales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind


When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
It's alright, she said, it's alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything, anything
Fly on, little wing

A NWG sighting!  What a rare treat!  Hope you & your's are doing well!   

Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be...

...and the time will be our time
and the grass won't pay no mind...

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you
