I couldn’t count my fortune
My fortune sits all day
in my apple of a love
See me today
I been worn away
floating away
he oughta know
Going around and around
going around ‘cause
I hate what you aren’t but you are the
king of the world
In your root you shoot like stars
and you feel so fat
like a diplomat
and you rule me so fine
over my line
You like me some days
then take my money away
won’t you obey?

Can you let go of something you know like a number
everyday spaces jamming up the flow
Maybe I’ll tire soon of the mire of longing
What’s in the place there couldn’t be alone
Christ it’s a long day out
Wasn’t making good time ‘cause I made up my mind to take a wrong way
taking back steps two at a time
If you put me off again
what would the new mess that you see before you do..
You never know, you never know…
Christ it’s a long day out
The forces at work know me for working like a whipped dog
Are they turning a tide to see if I’ll ride another time bomb
But if you never come ‘round again
what would the new mess that you see before you do..
you never know, you never know…
Got me one time, I give it for love
got me two times, I give it for nothing
Living with you I found 20 new ways to be lonely
I’d say its high time to pray for a new day
Daddy I was right to take a year of my life to think it over
and stranger than true I faded my hope for you
But if you never come ‘round again
what would the new mess that you see before you do..
You never know, you never know..
Hangin’ at Old Simon’s over the avenue, all my keys out
Could you see it from my side
but maybe you won’t

If I wanted, I could be the one
poster honey
pink and wide smile like a monkey
If all I could want fit in two arms
If I live long
‘cause its all I can do not to drown…
No time to be just anyone
Monster heavy
lightnin’ slick and tricked out atomic
Monster heavy
fearsome deep
If I went along tearing no walls or fevers down
well I shouldn’t be born
I couldn’t go on
Make true my old lie
if I can last that long
oh scene surreal
How could you be just anyone

Hey, got the feel like you’ll never be sober
pain in all you are like some head in a vice
You got glass hands, cheat sheets, a crazy mouth
and so what
Combusting in a ragged hole every devil knows
a bully slap
and where are all your big sisters now
In this place, no disgrace, only a glow
Everyone hears the sound
some back down
some ride the wrecking ball
Say you don’t mind
Say you don’t mind, for real
Say you don’t mind
Say you don’t mind
Could you love a dream exploded
that smashed your heart
or a hope that died on the vine

The journey from Kamakura to Kyoto takes twelve days. If you travel for eleven but stop on the twelfth, how can you admire the moon over the capital? - Nichiren Daishonin
This is where we start in a pool of steam and shadow turn to honey my will of steel When there's nothing that you want nothing to lose I come for love alone faith like the ocean warm tides waiting I come for love alone my secret's out my secret's out I'll go away with the sound your brittle heart makes Take only everything take back what you want, if you can my love I come for love alone faith like the ocean warm tides waiting I come for love alone my secret's out my secret's out
Modern Love
(Marilyn Carino)

Written by David Bowie
I catch the paperboy, but things don’t really change
I’m lying in the wind
but I never wave bye bye
but I try, I try
There’s no sign of life, its just the power to charm
Still lying in the wind
but I never wave bye bye
but I try, I try
Don’t believe in modern love
it terrifies me
walks on by
Don’t believe in modern love
Its not really work, its just the power to charm
Still lying in the wind but I never wave bye bye
but I try, I try
Don’t believe in modern love

A sword is useless in the hands of a coward - Nichiren Daishonin
Inside I called me Nigger finger on the trigger what a cost to me in soul My shyness made a muddle a thing so home to murder had I found my place? I took me for a runner but flat out in the gutter I held out for Victory's shore the real end to my war and this could not hurt me more this could not hurt me more this could not hurt me more Underneath and through me something whispered to me what I had to answer for I looked up from the floor this cannot hurt me more this cannot hurt me more this cannot hurt me more this cannot hurt me more
