KMC Centlivre Poems

Jesus said a lot of things, Mohammed said them, too
Moses went to the mountaintop, Dr. King did, too
But, no one really listened to them
Instead they put their pictures on the wall
...

I made the worst mistake of my life
I ignored all the warnin’ signs
I made a hard left when I shoulda turned right
And made the worst mistake of my life
...

Have you heard of the people who live in the skies?
(I think I seen ‘em)
Some of them are short with big round black eyes
(I never seen them)
...

Here you come again breaking my heart again
Wouldn’t feel so bad about it if I could live without it
I’d look the other way but, that won’t change yesterday
Wouldn’t feel so bad about it if you didn’t brag about it
...

How’d we get started on this merry-go-round?
Your horse is up
When my horse is down
We keep goin’ ‘round in circles
...

You said the right words
You looked the right way
I looked your direction
I ‘ll never look away
...

The cold wind blows like Christmastime
The icy chill goes to your bones
If heaven had a plan, it didn’t include you
When you got a right to lose
...

Johnny went to Hollywood
Said he’s gonna be a star
Things didn’t turn out so good
Johnny’s livin’ in his car
...
