Lyrically Speaking 11-5-25

I hold in my hand the final Last Word Wednesday.

(crowd cheers)

May a diseased yak relieve himself in your Cheerios.


1. You want to believe that
I am not the same as you.
I can't conceive, oh no,
what it is you're tryin' to do

2. Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day

3. She was the same as a hundred ladies,
But when my eyes looked at her I learned
That she was keeping a secret fire,
And if I got too close I'd burn

4. When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

5. Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

6. The hurtin's on me, yeah
But I will never be free, no, no, no
You took the vow with me, yeah
And you spoke it, you spoke it, babe

7. 'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams

8. She'll expose you, when she snows you
Offer feed with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush

Well, I already used my award winning image of Ody's laser eyes...

You don't need eyes to enjoy the finer things in life, like Playboy...

Dang, I can't believe I couldn't get some of those. Angry Eyes is one of my favorite all-time songs to listen to.
