Detroit Runaround

We are all inside

Drinking All there wine

Now we're having fun

Until the show is done

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

You ever heard of Hell night?

They burn the town down

Last year they burned

70 houses to the ground

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Thieves are outside

Fucking with our ride

They stole our shit

To buy themselves some shit

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Cops came on the scene

Wouldn't get out the car

They told us our dreams

Won't take you very far

Constance Lee

Mama

I'm Sorry I made you cry

The night Grams Died

Mama told me not to cry

The Night I found out

That everybody dies

I've never seen

Such salty tears

Runnin' down your cheeks

The pain lasted for weeks

Mama

please

flowers on your grave

ribbons in your hair

life isn't fair.

take it if you dare

sitting by your bed

bad thoughts in my head

angels fear to tread

time we often spend

sickness is taking her

set her mind at ease

buckling at the knees

begging please

please please please

Don't Take It Out On Her

Mama buys me cigarettes

And two beers a day

Son calls me up on the telephone

I ain't got much to say

Sittin' on my front porch

Waitin' for the rain to come

I can't even write my name

Don't take it out on her

Daddy flew around

The whole wide world

Never got to know a soul

He used to like to stay out late

And lose control

Daddy got caught in an opium den

Took it out on my ma

He broke her jaw in three pieces

Said she fell down the stairs

Army found out, family dispute

And nobody cares

Sittin' on my front porch

Waitin' for the rain to come

I can't even write my name

Don't take it out on her

Gone Gone Gone

Gone gone gone back home

She left me to walk this road alone

Sometimes I don’t know where to go

Her ship has sailed into unknown

Please please please hold my hand

My weary legs can barely stand

She taught me to be a righteous man

Drink wine eat bread when you can

Gone gone gone back home

She left me to walk this road alone

Sometimes I don’t know where to go

Her ship has sailed into unknown

Stay Stay Stay with me

Love’s got a habit of failing me

She taught me to help those in need

The people of Haiti are starving

Gone gone gone back home

She left me to walk this road alone

Sometimes I don’t know where to go

Her ship has sailed into unknown

Time time time has come

It’s clear to me what’s been done

Blank stares keep me feeling numb

My heart beats loud as any drum

Gone gone gone back home

She left me to walk this road alone

Sometimes I don’t know where to go

Her ship has sailed into unknown

The Reaper

Who will I follow?

The only one that comes to mind

Is my brother and his wife,

To whom I’d give my life

But do I have a choice?

You put that in my voice.

Don’t leave me saying you’re only passing through.

Many things have changed since you went away.

Many things got strange when you left me that day.

Yellow drips from your lips. I wipe it away.

I’ll be here ‘till I got nothing to say.

You lay there so peacefully, looks like you’re only sleeping.

You can not be sleeping for we are all weeping.

And you do look so tired, frozen in yawn.

Your mouth looks like you’re screaming and I ain’t dreaming.

You’re gone, but I don’t know where.

Look up to the sky, and do nothing but stare.

Your answers are still needed because I have many questions.

We often butted heads, but I always took your suggestions.

It looks like your chest still goes up and down.

I’ve always had this hallucination when the reaper is in town.

i saw a moth fly onto the tan carpet. it looked over and saw chico. it got scared and flew to another part of the carpet, out of chico's view. then maji saw the moth. he went for the moth, batted it with his paws. the moth flew to the red chair with a tan blanket thrown over the back. it almost made it to the tan blanket. maji lost sight of the moth. after ten seconds, the moth flew off of the chair and back down to the carpet, landing near maji and chico. maji saw the moth and batted it with his paws once again. this time, he dealt the moth a fatal blow. maji sat with the moth between his paws and slowly nibbled away at it.
