THE SNAKE
On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake.
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Poor thing," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
"Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake.
She wrapped him all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk.
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had been revived.
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake.
She clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried,
"But if I hadn't brought you in, by now you might have died."
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite.
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake.
"I saved you," cried the woman
"And you've bitten me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die."
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin,
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in."
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake.

Ol' catfish in the lake we called him Big Jim When I was a kid my only wish was to get my line in him Skipped church one Sunday rowed out and throw'd in my line Jim took that hook pole and me right over the side Went driftin' down past old tires and rusty cans of beer The angel of the lake whispered in my ear "Before you choose your wish son You better think first With every wish there comes a curse" I fell in love with beautiful Doreen She was the prettiest thing this old town'd ever seen I courted her and I made her mine But I grew jealous whenever another man'd Come walkin' down the line And my jealousy made me treat her hard and cruel She sighed "Bobby oh Bobby you're such a fool Don't you know before you choose your wish You'd better think first 'Cause with every wish there comes a curse" These days I sit around and laugh At the many rivers I've crossed But on the far banks there's always another forest Where a man can get lost Well there in the high trees love's bluebird glides Guiding us 'cross to another river on the other side And there someone is waitin' with a look in her eyes And though my heart's grown weary And more than a little bit shy Tonight I'll drink from her waters to quench my thirst And leave the angels to worry With every wish... Bruce Springsteen "Don't ask me silly questions

A million years have come and gone the Earth is shifting towards the sun synthetic atmosphere is lost and forces the computers off communications are confused the tides reverse and start a chain reaction the seismograph's consulted incredible results it says we're losing all control, losing all control the scientists around the world decipher everything they do but they don't really know, they don't really know instead of systematic, the news becomes irratic no-one can agree, no-one can agree the world is getting frantic as people start a panic what does all this mean the sun is moving closer and the atmosphere gets hotter as the system overloads, system overloads fighting these adverse conditions, loading for the expedition everyone must go, everyone must go the fools that think the worst is over they won't live to be much older why do they remain, why do they remain everything is ready, everyone that's coming has been safely brought on board the time has come to leave again activate the Noah plan returning to the universe give out the word abandon Earth and the pounding speed increasing as the ship is taking off, ship is taking off the electronic shields protect us from the heat we're slowly breaking lose, slowly breaking lose the ship is lifting higher, the Earth is growing smaller as we leave the atmosphere, leave the atmosphere we watch the Earth get closer, getting closer, getting closer as it drifts into the sun the time has come to leave again activate the Noah plan returning to the universe give out the word abandon Earth Peter Schilling "Don't ask me silly questions

Standing there alone the ship is waiting all systems are go are you sure? control is not convinced but the computer has the evidence "no need to abort" the countdown starts watching in a trance the crew is certain nothing left to chance all is working trying to relax up in the capsule "send me up a drink" jokes Major Tom the count goes on 4 3 2 1 Earth below us drifting falling floating weightless calling calling home... second stage is cut we're now in orbit stabilizers up runnning perfect starting to collect requested data what will it effect when all is done thinks Major Tom back at ground control there is a problem go to rockets full not responding "hello Major Tom are you receiving turn the thrusters on we're standing by" there's no reply 4 3 2 1 Earth below us drifting falling floating weightless calling calling home... across the stratosphere a final message "give my wife my love" then nothing more far beneath the ship the world is mourning they don't realize he's alive no one understands but Major Tom sees now the life commands this is my home I'm coming home Earth below us drifting falling floating weightless coming home... Earth below us drifting falling floating weightless coming home... Earth below us drifting falling floating weightless coming coming home... home..... Peter Schilling "Don't ask me silly questions

I have liked the work of Peter Schilling for a long time now. He is a German artist and an old album I have of his has side A in english and side B is the same songs in german. Very interesting! "Don't ask me silly questions

When dreaming I'm guided through another world Time and time again At sunrise I fight to stay asleep 'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place 'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape From the life I live when I'm awake So let's go there Let's make our escape Come on, let's go there Let's ask can we stay? Can you take me higher? To the place where blind men see Can you take me higher? To the place with golden streets Although I would like our world to change It helps me to appreciate Those nights and those dreams But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same The only difference is To let love replace all our hate So let's go there Let's make our escape Come on, let's go there Let's ask can we stay? Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams And make them mine Creed "Don't ask me silly questions

Once an angel Always an angel You're as close to heaven As I'll ever be It's been six years now Since my ring slipped on your finger And those years have made A better man out of me. Once an angel Always an angel You're as close to heaven As I'll ever be. There've been times when I've treated you so badly I've done things I know You'll never understand. But you take me back Turn your eyes towards the window Where you hide the tears You don't want me to see. Once an angel Always an angel You're as close to heaven As I'll ever be. Once an angel Always an angel You're as close to heaven As I'll ever be. You're as close to heaven As I'll ever be. Neil Young "Don't ask me silly questions

Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof. Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep. Rotate your tires. Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself and heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys. Know what to kiss... and when. Consider that two wrongs never make a right... but that three do. Wherever possible, put people on hold. Be comforted that in the face of all erridity and disallusionment, and despite the changing fortunes of time, there is always a big future in computer maintainance. Remember the Pueblo. Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate. Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI. Exercise caution in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you... that lemon on your left, for instance. Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet. Fall not in love, therefore; it will stick to your face. Gracefully surrender the things of youth, birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan, and let not the sands of time get in your lunch. Hire people with hooks. For a good time call 606-4311. Ask for Ken. Take heart amid the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese, and reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee. You are a fluke of the Universe. You have no right to be here, and weather you can hear it or not, the Universe is laughing behind your back. Therefore, make peace with your god, whatever you conceive him to be: hairy thunderer or cosmic muffin. With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal, the world continues to deteriorate.

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396 Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot Outside the Seven-Eleven store Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch And he rides with me from town to town We only run for the money, got no strings attached We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down Tonight, tonight the strip's just right I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat Summer's here and the time is right For racin' in the street We take all the action we can meet And we cover all the northeast state When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street From the fire roads to the interstate Some guys they just give up living And start dying little by little, piece by piece, Some guys come home from work and wash up, And go racin' in the street. Tonight, tonight the strip's just right I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats Calling out around the world, we're going racin' in the street. I met her on the strip three years ago In a Camaro with this dude from L.A. I blew that Camaro off my back, and drove that little girl away, But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes And she cries herself to sleep at night When I come home the house is dark She sighs, "Baby did you make it all right," She sits on the porch of her Daddy's house But all her pretty dreams are torn, She stares off alone into the night With the eyes of one who hates for just being born For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels, Rumbling through this promised land Tonight my baby and me, we're gonna ride to the sea And wash these sins off our hands. Tonight, tonight the highway's bright Out of our way, mister, you best keep 'Cause summer's here and the time is right For racin' in the street. Bruce Springsteen "Don't ask me silly questions

Summer breeze makes you feel alright Neon lights shining brightly make your brain ignite See the girls with the dresses so tight Give you love if the price is right Black or white In the streets there's no wrong and no right so forget all that you see It's not reality It's just a fantasy Can't you see What this crazy life is doing to me Life is just a fantasy Can you live this fantasy life Outasite Buy your kicks from the man in the white Feels alright Powder pleasure in your nose tonight See the men paint their faces and cry Like some girl it makes you wonder why City life sure is cool But It cuts like a knife It's your life Aldo Nova "Don't ask me silly questions

There's a man going around taking names And he decides who to free and who to blame Everybody won't be treated all the same There'll be a golden ladder reaching down When the man comes around The hairs on your arm will stand up At the terror in each sip and in each sup Will you partake of that last offered cup Or disappear into the potter's ground When the man comes around [Chorus] Hear the trumpets hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum Voices calling, voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks 'Til Armageddon no shalom, no shalom Then the father hen will call his chickens home The wise men will bow down before the throne And at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns When the man comes around Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still Listen to the words long written down When the man comes around [Chorus] Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum Voices calling, voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks In measured hundred weight and penny pound When the man comes around Johnny Cash "Don't ask me silly questions

Crossroads ... seem to come and go ... yeah The gypsy flies from coast to coast Knowing many, loving none Bearing sorrow, havin' fun But back home he'll always run ... to sweet Melissa Freight train ... each car looks the same ... all the same And no one knows the gypsy's name No one hears his lonely sighs There are no blankets where he lies In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies ... with sweet Melissa Again the morning's come Again he's on the run Sunbeams shinin' through his hair Appearing not to have a care Well pick up your gear and gypsy roll on ... roll on Crossroads ... will you ever let him go Lord ... Lord Or will you hide the dead man's ghost Or will he lie ... beneath the clay Or will his spirit float away But I know that he won't stay ... without Melissa Yes I know that he won't stay ... without Melissa Allman Brothers "Don't ask me silly questions
