Lyrics written at 2nd and Chestnut Streets, Old City, Philadelphia while I sat against the “Corn Exchange Bank”. The chorus came about when a man that appeared to be homeless approached me… and gave me a dollar.

Em

You’re way to wacky
Not to survive
You’re the one always trying…
You always strive to survive
Stay alive
Way outside the norm
You’ll weather their storm

Let them say what they want to say about you
You’re the one whose heart is true
You have equal rights
Not to be equal
Equality doesn’t mean neutral

When I asked
If you’d dance up a storm
I figured you knew I meant figuratively
Now, literally
We’re in a downpour

Let’s dance some more

The sun is shinin’
Again
The sky’s clearin’
Again
The power of the shower
Reigns down on me
And, I see the light
All’s clear
In sight
All’s clear
Insight

What Does It Mean .mp3

This song is based on Hurricane Irene. I was suppose to play a Bob Marley festival… but, it was canceled due to Atlantic City being under a mandatory evacuation. When I explained my situation to a fan, he said, “Irene’s a bitch.”

Hurricane Irene

Capo 4
F#

Ole Lady leery
Left her lantern in the shed
When the how kicked it over
She winked her I and said,
“If ya know what i mean
My names Irene
Gonna be gnarly
Sorry, no Marely.”

So, we played all night
Into the day
Play, play, play
We played into the rain
The spirit will remain

A tidal surge
Irie sea
Love splurge
See irie
Rainbow
Know

B variations

What is it you seek?
Light and heat?
The comfort of warmth
Without the constraints of….

If you can’t see the desert
Through the forest
The quicksand of justice
Is just the tip of the ice
Burg, Borough or Bust
What is must, must
Right = Right
I write….

Why don’t you keep your hands to yourself
The strangulation of imagination
Why don’t you keep your hands to yourself
