Lyin’ Cheatin’ Baby Daddy Dog Little Boy

Baby Daddy

When I saw the article on MSNBC’s website, yesterday, I knew I had to write this song.

Of course, teen pregnancy is no joking matter.

And I’d like to think that the young people at the heart of the gossip blog post above do take their lives and the creation of a third life seriously.

But I gotta tell you — I had to laugh when I saw that Lynn Spears — Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears’ mom — was putting aside her book project indefinitely to address this latest Spears family crisis. The subject of her book? Tips on parenting…

[warning: the f-word is audible in this song]

Lyin’ Cheatin’ Baby Daddy Dog Little Boy

Listen to me brother — I
just can’t stay quiet anymore
We all saw it coming
knew you’d be sneakin’ out the door

no matter what she’s done
she’s got feelings
she’s not your trinket toy
You’re just a Lyin’ Cheatin’
Baby Daddy Dog Little Boy

she’s confused, she’s scared
what can you expect
she’s just a kid and now
her whole life is wrecked

Everything she thought she knew
everything she heard from you: suspect
she’s just a kid and now
her whole life is wrecked

Listen to me brother
you really f—-d up tonight
but you could start tomorrow
start to put things right

no matter what she’s done
she’s got feelings
she’s not your trinket toy
You’re just a Lyin’ Cheatin’
Baby Daddy Dog Little Boy

Just a foolish game…

World of Lies

Sometimes you wake up from a dream where everything has gone right… mistakes not made, chances not thrown away, love not lost…

Yeah, well… that’s dreamin’ for ya…

The beautiful spring morning you wake up to in the dream turns out to be an icy bedroom at 4 in the morning, sweaty covers kicked off and now too clammy and cold to pull up even as the spring morning slips away in whisps like smoke from an extinguished candle.

And it’s still two hours until dawn.

You close your eyes, afraid to dream — afraid to have it all only to lose it once again.

lyrics
World of Lies

Meet me in the world of lies
meet me in the world of lies
let’s be hypnotized
meet me in the world of lies

You know that love is just a foolish game
Love always fades away
I know that you won’t stay
but at least you’re hear today

Meet me in the world of lies
let’s be hypnotized
Something in me dies
everytime a dream slips by

I know that I’ll always be alone
I know life is just to die
a wise man gives up the world
but I guess I’m just not that wise

Meet me in the world of lies
let’s be hypnotized
Don’t let this dream die
meet me in the world of lies

The sky above is in your eyes…

Mountains Come, Mountains Go

Lately, I’ve been seeing a faraway mountain, rising pale and strange behind familiar peaks.

lyrics
Mountains Come, Mountains Go

Mountains come and mountains go
but a love like ours will surely show
the stars themselves to be a fling
I’ve seen the End of Time
It’s no big thing

The ocean deep is just a pond
I throw my coat for you to walk upon
The waves are tears that mist my eyes
The mighty wind is
just your sleepy sigh

When I sing to you the angels sing along
and yet I know theres something wrong
The sky above is in your eyes
and I know that means
you’re lying on the ground

The sirens freeze my blood is cold
suddenly the world’s just too damn old
the future fading in your eyes
time and space collapse
in one last sigh

Mountains come and mountains go
but a love like ours will surely show
the stars themselves to be a fling
I’ve seen the End of Time
It’s no big thing

Long Gone Sunday

Long Gone Sunday

Just after dawn the birds wake each other up.

On Sundays, very early, you could sit in a certain spot in my old backyard, with a leafy canopy above you and the vine covered garage and overgrown yard before you, with the gentle sound of the little fountain* in the background and, for a little while, forget you were in the city. Kind of.

*Not the pond in the picture but the source of the background audio in the improvised guitar instrumental below.
