She’s a vision, she’s an angel
she’s a goddess, she’s a queen
She is natural, she is perfect
She is pure and she is clean
Love can be incredible
But love won’t make you whole
If you’re looking for a woman
To perfect your sorry soul
Everything I want and need
A perfect combination
Every other woman is
A phony imitation
If you’re looking for a partner
To play a hopeless role
You won’t find a woman
To perfect your sorry soul
Transport constant misery
To eternal bliss
She’s the only woman
Who could possibly do this
Replacing God with Romance
Is an idiotic goal
You won’t find a woman
To perfect your sorry soul

The shapes a bright container can contain!
—Theodore Roethke, I Knew a Woman
The shapes and colors you contain
Paralyze my lonesome brain
It did not lessen your appeal
When you suggested I get real
Who I am and who you are
Mean I must love you from afar
I hear the voice of sanity
Saying how it’s gotta be:
“Forget her smile, her voice, her hair
Cry a lot and look elsewhere”
I should just give up on love
My hopeless heart has had enough
by Richard W. Bray

Studied half my life
To be a healer
And I ended up as bad
As the neighborhood dealer
I thought I’d be dashing
I thought I’d be rich
Didn’t expect to be
Big Pharma’s little bitch
I got pills for the kids
I got pills for their mamas
If I push enough product
It’s a week in the Bahamas
I don’t care about your body
I don’t care about your bones
Just need to make money
To pay off my loans
I don’t care what you eat
I don’t care if you work out
Pushing my prescriptions
Is what I’m about
I don’t care how you feel
So don’t waste my time
Your words don’t contribute
To my bottom line

sooner or later it all gets real
—Neil Young, Walk On
I can find you a bed
I can fix you a meal
You can cry on my shoulder
When the shit gets real
I can offer my friendship
I can lead you to the well
We can talk and we can laugh
And we can sit for a spell
Gotta haggle with the world
And hold on to your soul
Sometimes you gotta fight
And sometimes you better roll
I can point you to the people
Who are fighting for peace
But the torments of this world
Ain’t never gonna cease
I’ll treat you like a guest
But I cannot live your quest
You’re ready for the world
And you’re fully grown
Just try and do your best
I think you’re ready for the test
Some things you gotta
Face on your own

Somebody finished
All the drink
Somebody puked
In the sink
And who trashed your apartment
And filled it up with stink?
Hell is the hunger
That’s taking you down
Hell is the hope
That cannot be found
Hell is waking up
On the dirty side of town
Cashed in your soul
For the lowest bid
Somebody ditched your wife
And abandoned your kids
Always had a reason
For everything you did
Hell is the hunger
That’s taking you down
Hell is the hope
That cannot be found
Hell is waking up
On the dirty side of town
Opportunity melts into
A big pile of sad
Don’t blame your mother
And don’t blame your dad
Somebody threw away
Every chance you ever had
Hell is the hunger
That’s taking you down
Hell is the hope
That cannot be found
Hell is waking up
On the dirty side of town

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with your girlfriend
I do it because I’m your friend
I’ll tell you what’s wrong with your girlfriend
I won’t stop till you comprehend
She’s snooty and snotty
And hurtful and mean
She’s hateful and haughty
And gross and obscene
She’s pompous pretentious
And full of manure
A definite menace
She smells like a sewer
I’ll tell you what’s wrong with your girlfriend
To help you is all I intend
I’ll tell you what’s wrong with your girlfriend
You’ll see that I’m right in the end
Her charm is a lie
She’s not all she seems
I look in her eyes
And I see all my dreams
She’s sexy and graceful
And lovely and free
Why’d she pick you when
She could’ve had me?

Our family is a prison
Of misery and sad
My sister blames my mother
I just blame my dad
You can live or you can drown
On thoughts
You can’t get rid of
Shut that stinkin’ thinkin’ down
With fellowship and love
I’m a sad man
Getting sadder every day
Sitting on a barstool
While my life drips away
You can live or you can drown
On thoughts
You can’t get rid of
Shut that stinkin’ thinkin’ down
With fellowship and love
Everything I try to do
Is just gonna fail
I’m coward and a loser
I belong in jail
You can live or you can drown
On thoughts
You can’t get rid of
Shut that stinkin’ thinkin’ down
With fellowship and love
I should just accept
What everybody knows
Bad luck gonna follow
Everywhere I go
You can live or you can drown
On thoughts
You can’t get rid of
Shut that stinkin’ thinkin’ down
With fellowship and love
It really makes sense
To drink my blues away
It’s all God’s fault
For making me this way
You can live or you can drown
On thoughts
You can’t get rid of
Shut that stinkin’ thinkin’ down
With fellowship and love

I think about you so much
My guts are getting raw
I wanna cook with your mama
And hunt with your paw
I wanna meet your crazy uncle
Who lives out in a shed
I wanna see you every night
Sleepin in my bed
Your face looks so delicious
I really wanna kiss it
You’re everything I need
To remedy my wishin
I work fourteen hours every day
Just to be the man
Who’s good enough to be with you
And hold your lovin hand
Whatever makes you happy
That’s what I aim to do
I’ll dig a garden with a soupspoon
Just to be with you
Your face looks so delicious
I really wanna kiss it
You’re everything I need
To remedy my wishin
