P. speaks!

my time was short,my words shorter,and deeds (none i remember )!

i had a face (you didn't see) ,i had a phase (passing.but you did see)!

you had me down,i played my part (that of a clown),yet i saw a frown!

i talk well (no fault of mine),with all i do not gel (in part,fault's mine)!

i have words in my mouth(they come out),don't put in any (from the south)!

i remember what i said (i'v to),or in these parts i'll be dead!

but politics is a game (know to play),if not i'll have to tame (careful what you say)!

you come to me sleazy (how cheap),i'm not that crazy (i was taught to leap)!

there's no space for vanity,and i'm not falling for flattery!

you might find a zombie for help,but when a bee stings,even dogs yelp!

we are all young,the paths we tread narrow....then why to rubber we be hung?

i've a cold cold heart....worse...i hate it when in my face someone does fart!

it's easy come easy go (for me),you hit me from below (just cos i got balls)!

my balls have always got me trouble,but (since i've them) i'm also humble!

so if you haven't any...or if they are gone..don't get someone's on a loan!

coyote....

Look at me Coyote
Don't let a little road dust put you off
You can't judge a book
Well you know that stuff
There's a tear in my upholstery
And a hole in my shoe

But don't you just wish that you could
Make half of the speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do


You can't catch me Coyote
Though there may be blood on the tracks
There may be some bridges burning
Behind our backs
But I got my laundry on the backseat
And an itinerary too

And don't you just wish that you could
Make half of the speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do


Now I'm a speck on your horizon
Getting smaller fast
An ambush wouldn't be surprising
I hope it's better than your last
Once again the roadrunner
Leaves the coyote in the dust
You've got another plan of action
But we all know it ain't never gonna work
It must be hard having dog dreams
That never come true


And don't you just wish that you could
Make half of the speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
