Way of life

the streets are rough
you've gotto be tough
hey you, macho man
how's your woman

is she still interested
in your muscles,
your silly mind
hasn't she left yet
that would've been kind

you've gotto proof yourself
roll with the punches
knuckle ém under
keep ém there too

you can't afford to loose
'cause before you know
your chick goes
the best she will choose
could be, that's not you

roamin' the Streets
lookin' for a fight
it makes your day
somebodyelses night

blessed is your life
'cause you're macho man
you know the style
know how to shine

make the girls fight
it's a way to live
it's a way of life

Wondering

when times are rough
a change is needed
I get up, dial a number
the answer is sweet

she knows,
I'm in trouble
and really bleeding

she knows
I need a soft touch
when I arrive it's all there
I don't have to ask
somebody's there to care

when I've done
a bit of dying
which is a case
of surviving
I get my case
fill it up again

no words can pay
for the treatment
she  gave
she knows
doesn't ask either
she's happy I'm okay
she has enough care
to give away

I'm on my feet
trying out the world
I can live again
it's no easy life
but it's all I have

she knows
she's there
when it gets too much
she's there
all the time

wondering when...
I'll come again

Four Margeurita's

 

 

 

four

 

 margeurita's out of place

 

four Margeurita's playin' a rough game

 

four Margeurita's makin' damn sure

 

it's

 

the end of the line, for some fool

 

 

four margeurita's

 

lendin' a shoulder, ye shouldn't rely on

 

takin' ye up to number nine

 

four Margeurita's takin' their time

 

leavin' you with nothin'to your name

 

and if you resist get you in a twist, up to where you

 

won't excist

 

 

a tag to your toe is a reminder

 

how

 

four Margeurita's took you home

 

 

an' yes, they're out here, in the streets

 

four margeurita's

 

a

 

piece

 

 

charming you if they can

 

right in to their arms, with a smothering calmness

 

might you wanna resist, get your neck in a twist

 

up

 

to where you can't excist

 

a

 

tag

 

to your toe is a small reminder

 

how

 

four Margeurita's took you home 

 

 

layin' in to you skinnin' your bones

 

gettin' a permanent rest

 

in

 

a

 

New York City flower bed
