two more sets of lyrics....
The first was inspired by a beautiful girl who's name I can't remember, but I saw her walking yesterday and the words came out. The second one was inspired by a friend of mine and her ubiquitous IM profile.

If I Played My Guitar
It’s amazing to be sitting,
Imagining your stare
A risk averting nature
Living life without a care
You move like you like the feel
Of sand between your toes
Waves reflecting moonlight
And a never-ending road
If I played the guitar
Then music I would play
Seamless integration
As the crowd begins to sway
But all I got right here
Is a billion grains of sand
An imaginary audience
For my imaginary band
Lounging in the sunlight
Falling from the sky
Wind and waves and seagulls
Lounging right on by
Happy to be here to take it all in
Next last sunset calls
We look up to answer
To watch the round sun fall
If I played the mandolin
Then music I would play
Seamless integration
While the crowd begins to sway
But all I got right here
Is a billion grains of sand
An imaginary audience
For my imaginary band
The sky darkens around us
Time is in your eyes
Lost reflection melting
In impossible surprise
I can sit all day and night
With palm trees over head
The next last sunset playing
music in my head
And when I played my guitar
Then music I did play
Seamless integration
As the crowd begin to sway
All that stretches beyond me,
A billion grains of sand
An imaginary audience
Watching us hold hands
Make of it what you will, I'm pretty sure there are actually 2 songs in there, one is the chorus and one is the verse. I'll fuck around it with more later, but until then, here's another one.
"Legerdemain"
I was standing by an audience
Watching angels dance,
Standing here immobile,
Totally entranced
Then the sky darkened
And the girls looked up in vain
To the sounds of thunder
Almighty legerdemain
Walking along a city street
Hucksters screaming loud
Looking just to land the fish
Swimming in the crowd
Most people know these types,
These gangsters in the rain
Another case of unholy
Affixed legerdemain
Sitting still in the movie house
Trying to comprehend
The way the hero action star
Manages to survive yet again
He offers up the money lines
Square-faced acting feign
The audience is transfixed
By the actors legerdemain
-------------
All for now, more fun fun fun till Daddy takes the T-Bird away....
