Queen of the court
Victim of disease
The ace of magic
And my point of need
Being of sound
That’s only found
Where the sky
Meets the ground
Queen of the night
The golden girl
Keeper of dragons
Destroyer of worlds
Lyrics - Weatherford

ACCESSORIES
I stay up late to watch for clues
And Snyder says which ones to use
I’m out of sleep and I’m on my knees
So I take a few more of my accessories
Emerald Daggers in my heart
How can I go when I can’t even start
Bored to the point of monopoly
I shake and roll my accessories
Some are bleak and some old fashioned
Some are stupid with a passion
So I stay in bed with my disease
I’m so fucking tired of my accessories

GOD OR JUST A SLOW BREEZE
Sitting by the window
Trying to take up my time
Embracing idiomatic shapes of my life
Was it snow or just the last day
Of the first day of rain
I met you in the wrong apartment yesterday
Freezing in the attic
Trying to make up my mind
Engracing acrobatic shapes of my breath
Was it God or just a slow breeze
That I reached out to touch
I saw you in the supermarket yesterday…
Lyrics – Burke, Censky

YOU MUST BE JOE KING
I bought a Ouija board so I could walk thru heaven
I took it with me on the way to hell
I bought a guitar so that I could talk to Lennon
And practice playing If I Fell, well, well
I look thru the windows
I see thru the walls
I turn all the channels
Say one say all I’m Joe King
I watch the cheap girls as they watch the cheap guys
They’re dancing to the Doobies’ beat
Hard pressed for hard rock they retreat too soon
Their noodle minds are incomplete
I climb thru the windows
I walk thru the walls
I turn all the channels
Say one say all I’m Joe King
I take my cats and dogs to doctors
They give them shots and feed them pills
They take me out for runs and walks
It’s up to them to pay the bills
I fly thru the windows
I smash thru the walls
I turn all the channels
Say one say all I’m Joe King
