safe place

I found myself a safe place
with my heart beating
and oxygen moving in and out
and thoughts with nothing to do
pass on through
there's no need to doubt
and I'll come back
I know I will 
rejoin the human race
but I'm thinking maybe
I'm more human
in the safe place

yes in a world of no (new verse)

discouragement follows me
everywhereI go
in this planet of global warming
I'm 35 b3low
trying to protect myself
from blinding ice and snow
needing just a little kindness
to find a yes in a world of no
yes in a world of no

your listener

on and off of buses
in and out of cars
step by steeply foot by foot
you just put
one in front of the other
opening and closing doors
turn the key by hand
inch by inch
minute by minute
you're in it
no place to run for cover

let me tell you brother
let me tell you sister
give me your sorrows and your dreams
I will be your listener

new dictionary, new verse

some people do the nasty
some people do the deed
some people search the want ads
for exactly what they need
me, I'm built for comfort
I sure ain't built for speed
the only thin I call you is
satisfaction guaranteed

campfire in the sky

will you be there
at that campfire in the sky

hey! you in the corner

hey! you in the corner
get up off that chair
I got good news to tell you
and a message I should share
you may sing like Frank Sinatra
and dance like Fred Astaire
but you ain't going anywhere
you ain't going anywhere

hey! you in the shadows
standing at the door
lift your hand and turn the key
you ain't waiting anymore
you don't have to live your life
in debt to the company store
it don't matter anymore
it don't matter anymore

          maybe you get liberty
          or you get death
          time takes care 
          of all the rest

hey! you on the bleachers
stand right up and come on down
you don't need the people
that you've been hanging around
for now you get to live your life
above the cold hard ground
I believe you're glory bound
do you know you're glory bound?

peace of mind

I've been downtown
looking for my peace of mind
I've been downtown
looking for my peace of mind
but I'm learning
it's something that I may not find

I've looked under bridges
inside buildings, too
inside of boxes
I've been obnoxious
with foxes at the county zoo
my peace of mind is so unkind
it's hiding out of view
