Another barstool winner
Now he’s talking off my ear
Sounds like he scored a lot of points
During his junior year
Another barstool winner
Chomping teeth and talking fast
I guess his nostrils are full
White powder – what a blast
Another barstool winner
Staggered over from his hovel
In another four years
He’ll be finished with his novel
Another barstool winner
He doesn’t miss the kids and wife
He says they're all jealous
Of his freewheeling life
Another barstool winner
Don’t ask me what I’m doing here
I’d rather listen than talk
Time to pour another beer
by Richard W. Bray
I knew you for a night
And before it was day
You turned off your light
And fluttered away
You're the kind of girl who always breaks my heart
I never learn my lesson cuz I’m not very smart
Fairest of creation
You make molecules spin
My lowly situation
I ain't never gonna win
You're the kind of girl who always breaks my heart
I never learn my lesson cuz I’m not very smart
Your smile could light a city
Your song could be a band
You're a miracle of matter
I'm just a hired hand
You're the kind of girl who always breaks my heart
I never learn my lesson cuz I’m not very smart

Liiiiiike honeybees and sunshine
Smelly cheeses and red wine
Don’t fuss and darlin’ don’t whine
You always knew that you would be mine
Liiiiiike fireflies and warm nights
Fried chicken and appetites
Six seven and eight nine
I’ve never seen you look so fine
Liiiiiike babies and wet tears
Hound dogs and droopy old ears
There ain't gonna be a better time
The moon is purple and the stars shine
Liiiiiike trouble and outlaws
Cobb salad and a good toss
You can meet me at the state line
Got a place your daddy won’t find

on a hilltop
in the kitchen
over rainbows
down a well
in the snow
under pressure
on the sunny side of hell
in the dumps
on a barstool
so many things I’ll never tell
on the lawn
in my car
across the sky
it rings a bell
in your bed
by your side
falling fallen fell
by Richard W. Bray
Tune in for some friendly lies
Amuse me when the village dies
Forever in Eurasia wars
Who knows what we're fighting for?
Existential shit show
Hiding from your shadow
Blindfolds when things get funky
Pin the tail on the monkey
No salvation on the screen
Always washed but never clean
Smash a dream and kill a smile
Add another to the pile
Self-destruction lost its charm
Another dead from needle arm
Paying more and living less
Who's the author of this mess?
by Richard W. Bray
You acted like
You liked me a lot
Then you said
You didn't like me at all
You're a legendary genius of hurt
It feels like I crashed into a wall
You acted like
You liked me a lot
Then you said
You didn't like me at all
I was such a silly stupid mindless fool
Prancing like a puppy with a ball
You acted like
You liked me a lot
Then you said
You didn't like me at all
The world was a wonder and a dream
Then suddenly everything was small
You acted like
You liked me a lot
Then you said
You didn't like me at all
One moment I was standing on a cloud
I never knew I had so far to fall
by Richard W. Bray
Winkle and Wankle and Wunkle
Got attacked by an angry old skunkle
Wankle and Wunkle and Winkle
We're quite overwhelmed by the stinkle
Wunkle and Winkle and Wankle
Took all of their change to the bankle
Wankle and Winkle and Wunkle
Bought a new house for their uncle
Wunkle and Wankle and Winkle
Have an auto that's purple and pinkle
Winkle and Wunkle and Wankle
Keep plenty of gas in the tankle
Wankle and Winkle and Wunkle
Dribble and pass and slam dunkle
Wunkle and Wankle and Winkle
Roller on skates at the rinkle
Winkle and Wunkle and Wankle
Often smell musty and dankle
by Richard W. Bray
you're the pot of gold
at the end of my road
everything I never deserved
you're the dreamy and the cream
you're everything you seem
more than I could ever say with words
you're my happy and my hope
you're the only way I cope
a vision and an angel and a shrine
you're solid and you're sunny
you're beautiful and funny
you're a flower and a rainbow and a rhyme
by Richard W. Bray
I drank up a brewery
I burned this city down
I don’t care about anything
Since you’re not around
Pain in action is a chain reaction
Destructing so busily, I pass along my misery
Got a lot of rough edges
I’m bitter to the core
I’m mean and I’m dirty
I wake up on the floor
Pain in action is a chain reaction
Destructing so busily, I pass along my misery
I hurt a lot of people
To get back at you
It don’t make no sense
But that’s what I do
Pain in action is a chain reaction
Destructing so busily, I pass along my misery
