Lights of the Commodore Barry


I saw the lights of the Commodore Barry
From the deck of the ghost of the flower street ferry
And I felt the shock of an atom bomb
When the tired old city of chester
Was draped and dying in my arms


For a while I was lost under the weight of remembering
Of how the sun would warn the projects some mornings
When the birds were falling like winter's frozen rain
And I was all fingers numb holding a brown paper lunch
Twelve years old and already ashamed


Now soon I was floating over Highland Avenue
By my side was the Red Cross, the Pope and the President too
Yeah I had returned like I swore I would
To right some wrongs and sing my song
And share the luck that every man should


But when the fever broke and I awoke from the dream
I was passed out beside a jukebox siphoning gasoline
When my brother yanked me hard from the corner bar
And carried my drunk bones all the way home
draped and heavy in his arms




Funny how ev'rything was roses
When we held on to the guns

Write To Me Here

Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable?
Or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

It's a friend's responsibility
to fulfill your needs,
not your emptiness

The sugared-plums that
used to dance in my head
are now Equal plums
'cause Mom's on a new diet
