A Room with no walls
Lyrics by JD Glasscock
I've been singing songs
in a room with no walls
Wondering how I got here
Wondering where the time went
You look back upon the road
you see choices made and spirits that were broke
and Her hips were the trance that made me dance
and I stumble upon the hopes of another chance
and she's long gone to a distant dream
Tomorrow is but a breath away
as i sway to a melody on the tips of tongues
I struggle to remember when i was young
and everything seemed but a step away
to hard work and a world where she stayed
Don't live a life of could of beens....
You'll end up someone's Hucklleberry Finn.
and the music moves on....
she's long gone, write yourself a new dawn
I've been singing songs
in a room with no walls
wondering how i got here
wondering where the time went
ON days when you feel spent
lift your head, and don't lament
move your legs and step step step
on days when you feel spent
lift your head and don't lament
move your legs and step step step
Don't live a life of could of beens
you'll end up someone's Huckleberry Finn
and the music moves on
she's long gone, write yourself a new dawn
I've been singing songs
in a room with no walls
dreaming dreams and making plays
looking for morrow's day
in a new smile, in a new way
got places to go and plan to make it to the show
go go go, go go go
we reap what we sow
Spoken wyrds

By JD Glasscock
I look upon a moment, upon eyes glittering truth...upon curves spelling doom, my passion upon a skein of flesh....and her spirit resonates lullabies to my secret sweet....to my future spun upon weaves and a stumbling in belief......and as my older bones stump imprinted runes upon a tone of a rhythm bound in interwoven intonations of her thighs spread upon my hips......i carnivorously throw edges upon her nectar...upon the woman that seeks to tame my wildness, my unforgiving heat and bow to her strength, her everything riding my spirit to ground and benevolance......let us spread feathers upon the thermals to a forever ending and smiles on the womb of stars.

Lyrics by JD Glasscock
I've been the cool daddio
I've been the step back man
I've been the crazy mofo
and in a lonely heart band
skip bouncing sins into the night
It's in the dawn, the soft light
crayon drawn, her silouhette long gone
her smile, the story that made everything bright
and if she had stayed, everything would of been, could of been, alright
It's an old song, talking about old wrongs,
talking about where we belonged on those days
when we got along
It's an old song, talking about old wrongs,
talking about where we belonged on those days
when we got along
But it's yesterday when we thought today
would stay the same
when the dreams were young
and the word "love" slow danced tip of tongues
before yesteryear became broken tears
in the falling year of 1951
When Macarthur of Army Days was fired on back steps
hip cat strays
and Alice fell through a looking glass
and everything seemed to have more class
when street cars named desire
and african queens in raging fires
played hopscotch with americans in paris
and the earth stood still and the radios tossed pills
hello young lovers
I wont cry anymore
hello young lovers
I wont cry anymore
But it's yesterday when we thought today
would stay the same
when the dreams were young
and the word "love" slow danced tip of tongues
before yesteryear became broken tears
in the falling year of 1951
When Macarthur of Army Days was fired on back steps
hip cat strays
and Alice fell through a looking glass
and everything seemed to have more class
when street cars named desire
and african queens in raging fires
played hopscotch with americans in paris
and the earth stood still and the radios tossed pills
hello young lovers
I wont cry anymore
hello young lovers
I wont cry anymore
It's an old song, talking about old wrongs,
talking about where we belonged on those days
when we got along
It's an old song, talking about old wrongs,
talking about where we belonged on those days
when we got along
I've been the cool daddio
I've been the step back man
I've been the crazy mofo
and in a lonely heart band
skip bouncing sins into the night
1951 was a year of years, alright
1951 was a year of years, alright
taught me how to fear and how to get lost in the midnight.
Short Musings by JD Glasscock
An old man on a river of regret sings out his lament to the croaking of toads and the slow buzz of Dragon flies
Ive fallen to a house at the end of a long road, where miseries and the dreamless go....the lunatics built this place in an age way past when, as the moon had it's birth and the Earth was in the beginning of it's first dirge.....I sat in a parlour with a bar at it's center, mirrors rolling the walls and my thoughts on a bender, and the monster in the story had just begun...
I wrote a pensive story to the woman i loved who had a pension for prayers to above yet left me on an isolated piece of mud...the man in the mirror screamed obscenities so clear and as i slept the nightmares he sowed became so dear...
I now live in this hovel, of endless grovel to clarity and truth sewn in the semblence of lies...I seek a different room in which i can shed my gloom and find my self in the drift of release and churned up story teller sighs....
But the lunatics in the timbers scream out their cinders of ever hateful vision, and it is in their call, i find myself fall and scream " Here's Johnny!" let us begin......this house at the end of a long road is dead
The insomniac in the mirror screams out his fears rolling bones to the syncopated tones of eternity
Riding the ethers in a thermal up draft reaching broken limbs towards the sun, a solemn promise to the requiem of love,a prayer artfully articulated to the empty spaces between God's teeth
