“Monopoly - Fast Track Equations”



Razor sharp cut quite clear
He says Trust
She says Fear


Broken glass and hidden things
He says Respect
She says Trust 


Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust


Black Lies and Alibis
He says Truth
She says Respect


Innocence is shattered
All the children wept


Steel Cages, Monopoly and Chance Cards
He says Love

You played your pipe for me to dance,
as puppet master, worked the strings,
but today my heart will pirouette;
I am giving back the gold nose ring.

Last night I saw just how it is
Between yourself and naive me;
you are the wolf, I am the lamb
always destroyed ...

A déjà vu?  What can I say?
I know the track so well.
It is so dark yet treacherous.
I am not afraid.  Careful, here is a curve,
it almost turns onto itself.
An old oak tree stands there,
just off the corner.  I can smell
its delicious odour...

Near my house in the back,
bit lost on a sidetrack,
along the grassy track.

Turned a bit to backtrack,
closer is the right tack,
near my house in the back.

Yet things went out of whack,
more lost was a setback,
along the grassy track.

I put on a soundtrack,
and I thought to...

My life is full of ups and downs
Some much more fun than others
But I’d say the ones I like the most
Happen underneath the covers

I like looking sharp 
My pants ironed with pleats
But in birthday suits I prefer to be
Entangled beneath the sheets

I get exercise in...

Where the Railroad Track Meet 

Grasping, lunging as does a donkey for the
dangling apple leading it forward, I reached
for the ever elusive spot.  That place where
the railroad track meet.  Almost had it in
Idaho before it slipped over an ever so near
horizon.  Came...

A storm is brewing, slow, but strong
and those who do so many wrong
shall pay their price - and when the gong
does sound, they all shall fade.
And we shall axe, it shan't be long,
The palace's charade.*

On pompous thrones adorned with gold
they sit, so wrongly smug and...

My feet,
got a rhythm
A nervous beat

Oh the meet
Should I eat more meat?

Nah focus more on wheat
Better calm down and take a seat.

World coming at you like a big huge fleet
They try and feed you but you don't wanna eat
I don't like the taste of there...

Asp! 

I can see
I am not
going to be 
on time?

That's a fact!

I am late,
and must wait,
while a gate
holds me back
from the tracks!

What a pain
is the train
dashing by!..

Rolling on at a pace
of a snail in a race
I am bracing to stifle a yawn

All that freight, makes...

She left her heart there, on the tracks,
walked away, without a backwards glance.
If love were true, then it'd come back.
She left her heart there, on the tracks.
Tied with ribbon of pale lilac,
her letter of love, left to chance.
She left her heart there, on the tracks.
Walked...

Your life is a long race,
  Racing over the bumps.
Traveling the unforeseen,
  Don’t fear to hit the jumps.

Down the winding path,
  There’s plenty of ups and downs.
Place your focus up ahead,
  For the glorious end you’re bound.

Doing what you love to...

Don't cry for me Australia,
Just because I've been a failure,
I'm sure there's others in the land
That have no money in their hand,
The last race should've been my saviour....

At the Track
At the starting line
Engines revving vroom, vroom, vroom
Burning rubber - GO
Flags are waving zoom, zoom, zoom
Better stop now for new tires...

Track One, Side Two

It was time.
He knew it.

Like the cuts on so many of his albums,
As he...
