Don't Waste Your Time

At last my heart lays dormant
And drunk inside my chest.
At Last my mind is lawless,
At rest and careless.
Now what else? Ah, what else? You couldn’t know it.
Couldn’t know what, for everything, I would do.
Who might cry a mountain of you?
And who might die a 1000 of you?
And who might live a lifetime of you?
I can.
So now my soul is hopeless,
So I take to hopelessness.
Don’t waste your time with me, my dear.
Don’t waste your time.
Now the sky outside is frozen
And the weight of the air hangs me down.
Says you who laid your heart at the distant edge?
See the sunlight move upon.
But I’m staving and I’m freezing and I’m longing
And its bright glare only limbers me still.
Then watch the hordes of men and woman,
Who know nothing of you.
But to my top, to my toes, I’m hungry
And I’ve no one to call on to.
No, no, no you have everything
What else could you use?
Don’t waste your life longing.
Don’t waste your life.
Lord, Lord, Lord I’m calling
For you to be by my side.
Now to the east I see rains fall harshly
And in the west the ground shakes.
But here I find a rare blue sky,
The earth is calm, the wind is dry,
Until I turn my eyes to the side, lord
And see a rumblin’ train go by.
I turn my eyes the other way
And see a towering highway sign.
Lord, Lord, Lord I’m calling
For you to be by my side.
So when your family and friends, they ask of me,
Tell them that I am lost.
And if your woman, if she should ask of me,
Tell her I am lost.
Don’t Waste your life looking
For A better time.
Don’t waste your time looking for
A better life.

Old Dusty grows
Like from glowing soil
Seems we ain’t got much
For anything
See red drops drip
Down from your sleeve
And see bright white powder
On a jewel case
Keep on the grind
Hey, are you’re lonely tonight?
Bit a brace of bridge bark
To carry me on
Just the way it goes
No other way it could be
Be it on a dusty road
Or a city street.
But it’s all the same to me
I go straight, straight line
Like a heartless thing
Cause I aint got you
She keep on the move
Says she’s ready to die
She don’t criticize
She don’t boast or lie
If you got time
And a little peace of mind
Well, I got love
And a little money to spend
Put a howling moan
Out to the starving wind
Such sound to my ears
Like touch to my skin
Got force of rope
And deep red ground
Got arms of gold
But I aint got you
Old Dusty sing
Like a growling beast
Now he ain’t got much
But a word to speak
My baby lock and load
Yeah she ready to die
She aint got no pride
She got no pride
She say it don’t take long
To get bread and things
I ain’t got it all
Cause I ain’t got you

Leave it on the floor I've left for more
And even in my brightest light I want more
Joshia leaves me staring back for more
Love no woman now, no need to care for
As cold as I, I've got nothing to offer
But Joshia leaves me staring back for more
Love no woman now
Won't ever will
But Joshia your my heart your my desire.

Dooom (I Turn Away)

My life I don't remember much these days
I saw my mother and turned away
I saw my sister and turned away
I want to see my brothers today
I swore to my father as I turned away
I said I will remember today
When that woman comes to my bedside
I will turn her away.

El Eroica

When she speaks to me
I think, I am the lucky one
If she should ever know the fear I know.
Fall to me
My love, there’s so much I’ll never know
Not of the rusty feet we move upon
Nor the dirty ground I that we live on.
And woe is you
For you will never know
The feeling of your form
The feeling when you are near
And sorrow when you disappear.
