Song Lyrics
BILLIE SINGS
Billie sings and gloom turns to humor
Simple truths are rescued from rumor
She both celebrates and redeems
The wisdom of teenage dreams
Billie sings and birds want to listen
Teases them to ask for permission
Her voice just needs a world to console
Where tragedy takes its toll
To the loners, the cutters, the misunderstood
The afflicted, addicted, never had a childhood
Billie sings while dancing like demons
A spooky rag doll tossed among heathens
Shakes her lime green Gatorade hair
Writes songs that can sound like prayers
She’s speaking their language, Let no one condemn
Before her star blazed, Billie was one of them
Billie sings and gloom turns to humor
Simple truths are rescued from rumor
She both celebrates and redeems
The wisdom of teenage dreams
LOCKDOWN DAZE
Somebody kissed a bat in Wuhan China
And caught a virus the world had never seen
It crossed the oceans, over mountains, into cities
Every living creature was put under quarantine
Lockdown days seem to last forever
Locked down, can’t get out
Lockdown days ball and chained together
Locked down, there’s no doubt
The people panicked, hoarded toilet paper
They closed the government, the bars, the schools, the beach
Real life could hardly breathe without a ventilator
The president would recommend we start injecting bleach
Lockdown days seem to last forever
Locked down, can’t get out
Lockdown days ball and chained together
Locked down, there’s no doubt
Can’t get out!
Got a new girlfriend
Our dates are quite an art
We’ve had to learn to make love
From six feet apart
If you leave the house, you need a suit of armor
I view the outdoors through drawn Venetian blinds
I wear a triple mask just to take a shower
With sanitizer, wipes, and sprays of 50 different kinds
Lockdown days seem to last forever
Locked down can’t get out
Lockdown days ball and chained together
Locked down, there’s no doubt
Can’t get out!
FINGERPRINTS
Ten lasers bouncing off of mirror balls
I've crashed a rave and see my downfall
I part a sea of writhing bodies
And infiltrate these techno follies
I spy a princess with an afro
Partly chic and partly ghetto
She dances texting on a smartphone
My stomach churns like raging hormones
Time becomes a blur as I'm accosting her
I step into the light
Reading her my rights and riot acts
State my name and rank
Fill in all the blanks with wisecracks
Hope that she can take the hint
Start dusting for my fingerprints
The crowd she's hanging with are eyesores
Looks like the bar scene out of Star Wars
I make a beeline through this mixup
Pretend I'm here to pull a stickup
I point a finger like a handgun
She reaches for the skies I'm undone
With a sense of dread, I'm in over my head
She steps into the light
Reading me her rights and riot acts
States her name and rank
Fills in all the blanks with wisecracks
Asks if I can take a hint
Starts dusting for my fingerprints
Then she takes me into custody
Controlled substances are forced on me
Soon I'm flying supersonic high
Hallucinations start floating by
Swirling paisley freaky weird cartoons
Monster deejays playing looney tunes
She's leaning close, i want to stargaze
Her features swimming through a dream haze
As i lunge to try and kiss her
She starts to taunt and tease and whisper
I'm such a fool, I find it obscene
I realize that she's a drag queen
The girl who caught my eye
Is really just a guy
I shrink back from the light
Hear myself recite the riot act
Forget my name and rank
Fill in all the blanks with wisecracks
I'm not taking any hints
I won't be leaving fingerprints
LIBIDO JUNCTION
On the road to reckless
In a slinky town
All the talk is breathless
You could almost drown
He gets bombed with questions
Who the hell are you
And makes one confession
He’s just passing through
Hoodlum angels pack the streets
Hustlers work the shadows
The city lights are fireworks
Erupting like volcanos
Libido Junction
Drinks you under the table
Libido Junction
Where love is unfaithful
He meets shady critters
With the holy shakes
As they coil and slither
Like rattlesnakes
He sees night owl women
Full of proud despair
Long sparking ribbons
Winding through their hair
He steps into a dead end bar
Menace climbs the curtains
A laughing man plays sad guitar
To a room of missing persons
Libido Junction
Drinks you under the table
Libido Junction
Where love is unfaithful
So he jumps a Harley
He’s the thief of thieves
Call him good time Charlie
Rabbits up his sleeves
And if fate is waiting
Shakes an iron fist
He still plans escaping
Prays he won’t be missed
The motor hums a dragon’s song
The tires streak like comets
He’s a crowd ten thousand strong
Rushing toward the exits
Libido Junction
Drinks you under the table
Libido Junction
Where love is unfaithful
Libido Junction
A sleazy narcotic
Libido Junction
Always lewd and erotic
