lyrics

She's coming up slow
He's going down fast
They kill one more
And this is the last
I say
Why not?
Do it?
Right now?

You make what you want of it.
The burden is all yours
You are your own worst enemy
Don't hide from them now.

A 100 proof coat is wearing real thin.
The cold damp air, is under my skin.
I say.
It's not
The thing
To do

The garden of love, where it was green.
Is filled with graves. And muted screams.

I guess
I speak
I hide
I play

A graft will do
The wound is wide
The searching eyes
Perception is mine

I make
It go
Away
Tonight

The interim year will be the hardest
You must be strong to get through it
Last of the jazz great
Last of the great poets.

He gave his all. And lost his way. They cut him down. Left out to graze. I walk. Away . From you. Today. It;s now or never. Can he come through in the clutch. Last of the jazz greats. Last of the great
poets

Side stuff done by Mike Turnis during and after the existence of Horny Genius, circa 1992 until this very day...a musical journey that is still evolving and well worth investigating.
