You state and speak
And yap and gab
You lecture and scold
And gossip and blab
You’re a chronic talkaholic
And every word you say
Is a futile attempt
To try and get away
You utter and spiel
And spout and spew
But you never come up
With anything new
You’re a chronic talkaholic
Every word you ever said
Is an effort to avoid
The crazy in your head

Rich and dark and lovely
I drink my coffee straight
Serve it hot and fresh
I don’t got time to wait
Coffee Coffee Joy Joy
I crave you every day
You never disappoint me
Don’t ever go away
Percolate or press it,
Or cook it drip by drip
Just fill my thirsty mug
I cherish every sip
Coffee Coffee Joy Joy
I crave you every day
You never disappoint me
Don’t ever go away
Intoxicants hurt my head
Or make the room spin round
Coffee is the only drug
That never lets me down
Coffee Coffee Joy Joy
I crave you every day
You never disappoint me
Don’t ever go away
Don’t need no fancy mocha
Don’t need no Frappuccino
A simple steaming cup of Jo
And I am good to go
Coffee Coffee Joy Joy
I crave you every day
You never disappoint me
Don’t ever go away

She broke me so bad
I’m drinking beer for my brunch
And a bottle of whiskey
Is all I have for lunch
She broke me so bad
I fell apart and lost my job
I’m begging on the corner
I swindle and I rob
She broke me so bad
My anatomy stings
She got me seeing monsters
And hearing crazy things
She broke me so bad
My life is such a drag
Got a heart torn and tattered
Like a dirty old rag
I’m lost and I’m loaded
And I’m sick and I smell
I gave all my sweet lovin
To a demon from hell
by Richard W. Bray
Moonlight can caress a face
Who knew?
I never thought I’d meet someone
Like you
Rainbows are so radiant
Who knew?
After rainstorms birds chirp in
The dew
Sunshine is so glorious
Who knew?
I’m bathing in the light since I
Found you
Stars are so spectacular
Who knew?
A billion billion worlds where love
Might brew
The universe is beautiful
Who knew?
Since I discovered that you like
Me too
by Richard W. Bray
My daddy beat me every day
When other kids went out to play
My daddy taught me right from wrong
He made me pure; he made me strong
Wonderin’ what it’s all about
Turns my insides inside out
It hurts to look inside my head
I’d rather just hate you instead
My side’s right and yours is wrong
We’re good and great and pure and strong
You’re demonic; you are sick
Your words are just an evil trick
Wonderin’ what it’s all about
Turns my insides inside out
It hurts to look inside my head
I’d rather just hate you instead
I’ll never walk inside your shoes
We can’t win until you lose
Life’s a seesaw; I can’t twiddle
There is nothing in the middle
Wonderin’ what it’s all about
Turns my insides inside out
It hurts to look inside my head
I’d rather just hate you instead
by Richard W. Bray
I’m lost in the sun
On the 101
Dragging round a torment
That weighs a ton
What can I do
To get back to you?
Can’t find the 57
From the 22
I can drive and drive
On the 405
But I was too dumb
To keep our love alive
I cry again and again
I’ll never take the 10
Back to Cucamonga
And my best friend
I could get away clean
On the 215
Never look back
And bust out of this scene
by Richard W. Bray
I’m me
Cuz I’m not you
And I hate everything
You do
I hate hate hate hate hate you
And I hate your stupid group
You’re a bunch of stupid losers
And you’re all full of poop
I hate everything you do
I hate everything you say
I could fix the whole world
If you just went away
I have a pair of handrails:
Anger and disgust
I don’t hate you cuz I want to
I hate you cuz I must
by Richard W. Bray
You can talk till you turn blue
You can say what he should do
So he can be someone like you
You can call in kith and kin
And have them add up all his sin
But you ain’t never gonna win
You can devise a perfect plan
So he can be a better man
But you will never understand
You can bitch; you can complain
But there’s nothing you will gain
Cuz you’re never gonna talk a person sane

ReadyReady for the weekend
ReadyReady for my friends
ReadyReady to get crazy
Never thought the week would end
ReadyReady for the weekend
ReadyReady for some fun
ReadyReady for some freedom
And I really miss the sun
ReadyReady for the weekend
ReadyReady to explode
ReadyReady for some contact
Gonna find someone to hold
ReadyReady for the weekend
ReadyReady for the sky
ReadyReady for the outside
Before I suffocate and die

She’ll be nothing like I pictured her to be
—Neil Young, Lookin’ for a Love
Didn’t expect her beauty
From her bones to her skin
Didn’t expect the galaxy
To suddenly spin
Didn’t expect her smile
With its magical power
Didn’t expect her laugh
To resonate for hours
Didn’t expect to quiver
When she looks me in the face
Didn’t expect her poise
Didn’t expect her grace
Didn’t expect her countenance
To fill me up with joy
Didn’t expect to frolic
Like a goofy little boy
Didn’t expect to ever be
This silly and this sappy
Didn’t know there was such a thing
As permanent lovehappy
