monday, monday
don’t want to get
out of bed
keep the dreams rolling
while I lay awake

Together
we move

(David Abe is pronounced David Abey)
Evil David Abe
cheated us out of everything
he's doomed
in the doorway
times about to fall
we trusted David Abe
a handshake and words enough
naive and blind
husband walks old fashioned
trusting his fellow man
a million stars
whirling and twirling
down the drain
sucked by darkness
into a cesspool of feculence
David Abe's hands
are covered with guilt
no admission
refusing to believe--
games over you are out
no sweat on David Abe
he's getting paid
riding
on our backs
he buys a brand-new car
karma's
gonna get him
he stabbed us
front and back
stop the bleeding now
meantime
we are elders
little time
to start
all over again
David Abe you betrayed us
your devious ways 'n lies
will haunt you
make life a living hell
the truth will set you free
the truth will set you free

wind
blowing through my hair
there is so little time
let's leap above the gust
and dance with the wind
