Joe Weiss:  

"You Know (Union)" Give me the black pen, Give me the white paper, Make my every line testify, No meaning mine gone awry. Throw me, throw me from the shade, Remove night¿s masquerade, Let me be with morning. Pull us, come and pull us in. Pull, so we can listen. Make it so we can listen. Pull us, In. Ring, ring one bell, Ring the bell we must know. Ring the one that gives us hope, Ring that bell. ~apoembyjosepheweiss "Libra 581" Took us 20 years to get here But we made it in one piece, Shot like a beam of light, Searching far into the night, And now we are here for good.

They came running in Crying out loud Some heard Even listened to But then cast away Again, Floating up Into filled attics, New ways, Smiling faces, Lost within Tiny pieces of paper, Fluttering out of pockets And hands Competing with wallets, Change more important Than change. They find their lost way Through what has been made Without them, Travelling with heart and pulse Then abandoned between Burned-out synapses Just wishing to get through The necessary day. ~apoembyjosepheweiss The kids must shout and shake their bones Oh, man what have we done? Where has the TV. gone? We change the channel now. We are for sure going down, Pulling hard on bottom rung; Grip, fast on sliding ladders. Paparazzi film death row; Misc-en-scene for kept stars. Yeah man, we¿ve gone that far. Oh, woman, can you believe it? You opened the door and let him through it. Southern man zeitgeist next here; Woman, you go the distance. Oh, Kid, it can¿t be true. You¿re too young to pull this out; Your fans, too young to shout. Oh, Kid, tall and shining, Yo...Expand for more
