About Me


Firewater - "Hey Clown"
(What can you say about our country?)
Once I was happy and I felt no pain
Sang like a sparrow in the pouring rain
Someday those days are coming back again
When you are history
Look like some kind of fallen chimpanzee
Who was it kicked you from the ugly tree?
What makes you think that you're the boss of me?
Why don't you go away?
Everybody say
Hey Clown!
We're gonna put you in the ground
We had it all and then you blew it all away
Everybody say
Hey Clown!
You turned our happy upside-down
We're gonna burn your flag and piss on your parade
Piss on your parade
There's something that I just got to say to you
These are the worst times that I ever knew
And all my troubles are because of you
And your pathetic crew
Every time I see you on my TV screen
I wanna disappear or run and scream
And your existence is the worst bad dream
that I ever knew
Everybody say
Hey Clown!
We're gonna put you in the ground
We had it all and then you threw it all away
Everybody say
Hey Clown!
You turned our happy upside-down
We're gonna burn your flag and piss on your parade
Piss on your parade

Ok, I haven't been online in almost 2 months. Lesley and I moved into an apartment in Denver and it has been a slow process. We went on a couple of road trips this last month and I also got a new van....

Full Circle

I'm wearing those shoes now, the same ones you wore in November of 2004. A feeling unresolved. Some days it's all grand, but today it eats at me. Playing it by ear and giving you your space, but its s...
