Bar Band

I. Shadows
Shades of night
grey and black
inside the bar
they don't look back
red orange spots
center stage
drawing rivoting
tension a cage
no one new
the same old thing
still we come
to hear them sing
inject themselves
into our souls
temporarily
filling the holes
we're all shadows
but at night
they take solid form
to dominate our sight
some want to be them
some, to own
we are the wounded
lost and alone
we all stare trancelike
at the faces guitars
the hands arms bodies
for now they're ours.

II. Attraction Sing-Song
Play with me
the timeless game
you are wild
and mine to tame
you did your magic
your looks the sting
tonight obsession
you're the one to bring
light...oh I must capture you
for you invade me like a coup
unseen magnet that is the source
somehow it must run it's course
reverberating humming whistling too
pulling forward dance before you
studying you studying me.
