Roseland Taxi Dancer

Saturday Morning
When I was a kind I used to go to school Tried to treat everybody right and live by the golden rule Now I've gotten to be a man I find the rules don't work Try to treat everybody straight they take you for a jerk It's Saturday Morning And there's no scho...

She Said: Drive On, Driver

Shooting Star
She passes through the door it falls behind her A fly’s wings curl burning in the air A rainbow rises from a frozen cup of coffee The elephant is sitting in the chair The Bookworm is eating his way through the funnies The Dumplings sit giggling in deligh...
So Long Harry Truman

Square Sun
Apricot on raw silk Blue plums in a bowl Pear squash need not be sweet To be beautiful (This is just a picture There's love between the lines It's just a moment Take your time) Dead tree pool See rings ripple a leaf Listen, for the laughter of fish...
Steel Guitar
Carole once told me she dreamed she was pretty And lived in a very cool part of the city With a man who came home every evening at six And begged her to play him country licks On her steel guitar Show biz tricks on her steel guitar Her Pa'd been a welde...
Steppin' Out Tonight

The Delta Queen
Poets, preachers and other creatures Are bound to sing her praise But you'd better get bo'ded Good and loaded Cuz all hell will be raised When the Delta Queen comes rollin' down the river Hear that whistle, steamboat's round the bend Calliope is bound...
The Drover
I met him there in Pioneer Square In an empty bottle of muscatel He said, Here's my song And where I've gone I'll tell ya boy I've gone to hell "Hear my say, I've lost the way I've burned the bridge behind me And Lord above there ain't no one I ever l...
The Global Blues

The Question (Obviously)
I’d rather be an outlaw Than to be a drag queen’s knave I read the ads for lovers But all they want are slaves I’d rather be an artist If they’d let me paint the town I’d even be a fireman If they’d let me burn it down But when I popped the questio...
The Runaway
Your daddy hit you And you fell to the floor And you knew that you weren't Daddy's girl no more So you packed your bag And you hitched a ride And you ended up On the under side Of a New York night What a lonely place Too many people And not enough...
The Street
We're leavin' here don't look back It's a dead end, kid, it's a cul de sac In a sultry rut you made the scene Now you're all washed up but you can't get clean Step into the future Step out of the past Nothing lasts And just when you're thinking You'v...
The Valentine Pieces
