First verse by Dragonfly, next and every other verse by Lady
Bleaux.
A new force bursts forth
With the rising of the sun,
Never used before
Never used before
Is the deceptive promise
Of a good sales pitch
Of a good sales pitch
Or the slime on a fresh eel
Which is the slicker
Which is the slicker
Lines of a ladies man or
a used car salesman
A used car salesman
Preys on greed in the buyer
Something for nothing
Something for nothing
perhaps innocent desire
Entering contests
Entering contests
Is like buying a lottery ticket
Wishing on a star
Wishing on a star
As most dreamers often do
No matter the age
No matter the age
It's a plethora of dreams
Dearth of common sense
Dearth of common sense
But there's lots of fun to be had
Being frivolous
Being frivolous
Is like icing on life's cake...
Sweet and very light
Sweet and very light
The great delight of whipped cream
But pay in the "end"...
But pay in the end
Or lose your credit status...
Who are those people
Who are those people
sitting smugly behind desks
deciding our fates
Deciding our fates
Must be really boring tasks
God's work never ending
God's work never ending
With man's acts of injustice
Sins of prejudice
Sins of prejudice
Find homes with the ignorant...
Poor misguided fools
Poor misguided fools
the ignorant and gossips
Ruin lives without care
Ruin lives without care
Destroy hope unfeelingly
You will be repaid!
You will be repaid
When you are least expecting
Then it's pay back time!
Then it's pay back time
Like at the O. K corral
Don't draw till ready
Don't draw till ready
At all times keep your finger
Right on the trigger...
Right on the trigger
And the bad guy in your sights
Keep steady partner
Keep steady partner
Follow the trails of honor
Fighting a brave fight...
Fighting a brave fight
Puts bright fire in your heart
and knots on your head
And knots on your head
when trying to understand
The opposite sex
The opposite sex
Also factually called
My alien pet
My alien pet
Shadow that hears and sees all
Dang nagging conscience!
Dang nagging conscience...
Why can't I have a cricket?
Puppets are lucky
Puppets are lucky
Perhaps not if married to
The Puppet Master!
The Puppet Master
Never seems to realize
He has strings also
He has strings also
Dance, twist and tangle the strings
Be free! Fight control!
Be free, fight control
But don't commit suicide
Some controls are good
Some controls are good
Gripping that four on the floor
Flying in the wind...
Flying in the wind
Lifted on Creator's breath...
The Eagle's glory
The Eagle's glory
In all it's beauty and strength
Soars forever free...
Soars forever free
And alights in strange places...
Imagination
Imagination
And mine works overtime...
Mysteries of the mind...
Mysteries of the mind
Go on and on forever
New ones for each mind
New ones for each mind
a brilliance of ideas
In inquiring minds
In inquiring minds
The search is the driving force
Not the love of facts
Not the love of facts
Forms many legends and myths
Teaching great lessons
Teaching great lessons
Is the role of nature's plan
In simplicity
In simplicity
"User friendly" promises
Computer merchants
Computer merchants
A whole new breed of tricky
Evasive salesmen
Evasive salesmen
Know only the price tag and
Their own commission
Their own commission
Marks their level of success...
Tokens in the game
Tokens in the game
Diamonds prove to be the best!
Symbols of true love...
Symbols of true love
More lasting than love itself
How fickle we are
How fickle we are
Breaking hearts along the way
Where did true love go?
Where did true love go
The same place as good manners
Respect and honor
Respect and honor
Must be earned and well deserved
Not just vain glory...
Not just vain glory
Is the fuel for self-esteem...
Prejudice works too
Prejudice works too
Passed down from parent to child
Misguided teachings...
Misguided teachings
Often they are unspoken
Silent and deadly
Silent and deadly
Low lying snakes in the grass
And untrue lovers
And untrue lovers
Just sail through life unaware
What they sow, they'll reap
What they sow, they'll reap
And end up meeting their match
Unexpectedly!
Unexpectedly
Is how Cupid ambushes...
Sly little cherub
Sly little cherub
Shoots beguiling arrows
At defenseless hearts
At defenseless hearts
And innocent, naive minds
Fly evil predators
Fly evil predators
Through windows on summer nights
Those darn mosquitoes!
Those darn mosquitoes
Just another case in point where
Only the females bite
Only the females bite
A true nature's own revenge
Females in action...
Females in action...
Put the Hurricanes to shame
Soft velvet buzz saws
Soft velvet buzz saws
Techniques taught by our Mothers
Sisterhood secrets...
Sisterhood secrets
Have dribbled over to men
How do we use them?
How do we use them
Those that cannot be used are ...
Wily as a fox!
Wily as a fox
Doesn't work, Wily is a
Tricky Coyote
Tricky Coyote
He thinks he's going to win
But he's been "out foxed"...
But he's been out foxed
By the trickiest of all...
A vixen, of course
A vixen, of course
Knows how to be cunning by...
Plying secret charms
Plying secret charms
Is all part of the game...
Real life "Hide and Seek"
Real life "Hide and Seek"
Seeking love and fortune, we're
Hunters in the game
Hunters in the game
Also must be "game" hunters
No place for wimps
No place for wimps
When there in the dentist's chair
Die! My coward's heart...
Die my coward's heart
And rise again to glory...
Return to courage
Return to courage
Worry is an enemy
You must bravely fight
You must bravely fight
My friend, each and every day
Never lose control
Never lose control
when anger and tempers flare
Calm the sea of rage
Calm the sea of rage
Smooth waters always run deep
Peace is in the depths
Peace is in the depths
if you but just seek and look
Within your own soul...
Within your own soul
Is the universe center...
It's where I now stand.
It's where I now stand
Earth grounded, but with dreams that
fly free on the wind
Fly free on the wind
But keep the tail off the trees
They love to eat kites
They love to eat kites
What else is a tree to do
To have fun in March
To have fun in March
Pet the wind if it's lamb-like...
Don't tease the lion
Don't tease the lion
if he's hungry, best watch out...
You've riled a wild beast
You've riled a wild beast
When you say someone is fat
Truth can be so cruel
Truth can be so cruel
But also necessary
Else we live with lies...
Else we live with lies
Of our own making
Listen to our friends
Listen to our friends
Sometimes gentle words can soothe
A sad broken heart
A sad broken heat
Can rise like the morning sun
Eternally new
Eternally new
The breath and lightness of Spring's
Aura of freshness...
