THE TRADITIONS AND WHY THEY WERE DONE AWAY WITH

Up your umbilical it
All begins with the
Best of inventions but
I knew how high the
Eagle flew long before
The janitor threw his
Back out into it like
This is work do it
Hard do you see how
I struggle to please
You sweeping gesture
To the capris and don't
Think I never meant to
Repay that kindness.

YOUR ORBIT IS NOT MY ORBIT

You seemed taller
On radio, and when I
Thought a new fuzz
Was the answer to
All life's issues, it
Was your black and
White profile I was
Imagining. If I seemed
Forward it was only
Because I wanted to
Know how I could forge
My own 24-carat smile.
Who better to ask
Than a gold digger?
