That money talks
I'll not deny.
I heard it once
It said "goodbye".

From "Phantom of the Paradise" -- the devil's taunting song:
Roll on thunder, shine on lightnin'
The days are long & the nights are frightnin'
Nothing matters anyway and that's the hell of it.
Winter comes and the winds blow colder
Well some grew wiser, you just grew older
And you never listened anyway
And that the hell of it.
Good for nothin' bad in bed nobody likes you and you're better off dead, goodbye
We've all come to say goodbye...goodbye.
Born defeated died in vain
Super destruction you were hooked on pain
And tho your music lingers on
All of us are glad you're gone.
If I could live my life half as worthlessly as you
I'm convinced that I'd wind up burning too.
Love yourself as you love no other
Be no man's fool & be no man's brother
We're all born to die alone y'know
And that's the hell of it.
Life's a game where they're bound to beat you
And time's a trick they can turn to cheat you
And we only waste it anyway
And that's the hell of it.

Portion of
"A Psalm of Life",
by Longfellow
Tell me not
in mournful numbers
Life is but a dream
For the soul is dead
that slumbers
and things are not
what they seem.
Life is real,
Life is ernest,
and the grave is
not its' goal.
Dust thou art
to dust returnest
was not written of the soul.

Comin' to ya on a dusty road
Good lovin' I got a truck load
And when you get it you got something
So don't worry cause I'm coming
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
Got what I got the hard way
And I'll make it better each and every day
So honey don't you fret
Cause you ain't seen nothing yet
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
Play it Steve!
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
Listen
I was brought up on a side street
I learned how to love before I could eat
I was educated from good stock
When I start lovin' I just can't stop
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
Well grab the rope and I'll pull you in
Give you hope and be your only boyfriend
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
You're a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

Luck let a gentleman see
How nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck be alady with me.
A lady doesn't leave her escort
It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
and blow on some other guys dice.
So let's keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby I'm the fellow you came in with,
Luck be a lady,
Luck be a lady,
Luck be a lady tonight.

Seventeen, a beauty queen
She made a ride that caused a scene
In the town
Her long blonde hair
Hangin' down around her knees
All the cats who dig striptease
Prayin' for a little breeze
Her long blonde hair
Falling down across her arms
Hiding all the lady's charms
Lady Godiva
She found fame and made her name
A hollywood director came into town
And said to her
"How'd you like to be a star?"
"You're a girl that could go far"
"'specially dressed the way you are"
She smiled at him
Gave her pretty head a shake
That was Lady G's mistake
A-hey-hey-hey
Lady Godiva
He directs certificate 'X'
And people now are craning their necks
To see her
'cause she's a star
One that everybody knows
Finished with the striptease shows
Now she can't afford her clothes
Her long blonde hair
Lyin' on the barber's floor
Doesn't need it long anymore
Lady Godiva

Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm in a blue blue mood.
I'm all dressed up for the dance
I'm all alone in romance
Would a rose and a baby ruth have worked
better???

When the Night has been too Lonely
And the Road has been too Long,
That you think that Love is only
for the Lucky, and the Strong...
Just remember,
in the winter; Far beneath the bitter snow,
Lies the Seed,
that with the Sun's Love,
In the spring,
becomes
The Rose.

A poem as lovely as a tree.
Indeed, unless the billboards fall
I'll never see a tree at all!

Is those things arms, or is they legs?

Cow Cow Boogie
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Out on the plains, down near Sante Fe
I met a cowboy riding the ranch one day
And as he jogged along
I heard him singing a most peculiar cowboy song
It was a ditty, he learned in the city
Comma-ti-yi-yi-yeah, comma-ti-yippity-yi-yeah
Get along, get hip little doggies
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little doggie
And trucked 'em on down the old fairway
Singing his cow-cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma-ti-yi-yi-yeah, comma-ti-yippity-yi-yeah
Singing his cowboy songs, he's just too much
He's got a knocked up western accent
With a Harlem touch
He was raised on local weed
He's what you call a swing half breed
Singing his cow-cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma-ti-yi-yi-yeah, comma-ti-yippity-yi-yeah
