MIRACLE
Everybody says run before the trouble comes
On the road in the dark
Everybody lays low through the afterglow
To avoid any harm
It would take a miracle to save you
Bounty of angels or some light shining through
Must be a glow in the deepest dark
Heat in the coldest heart
Leading the way for a fallen soul
When we have lost all hope
It would take a miracle to save you
Bounty of angels or some light shining through
Everybody says run
When the trouble comes
On the road in the dark
Everybody lays low
Through the afterglow
To avoid harm
It would take a miracle to save you
Bounty of angels or some light shining through

THAI CAT
I have no impending wife
No picket fence in sight
Lately I don’t even know
Where I go at night
All the potential we waste
All the self-loathing and hate
Wasted negativity
Feeling like it’s too late
I CAN RECOVER
I AIN’T YOUR LOVER
I got a Siamese cat he’s like an acrobat
With a pelvic thrust a penchant for lust to victimize
As loyal as a Thai waiting for me to die
I’m on binge, feeling unhinged
I’m a kitty bitch
I CAN RECOVER
I AIN’T YOUR LOVER
Thai Cat
Why do you treat me
Like that

MS. VALENTINE (by Liam Davis)

Dear Mrs. T
Welcome to Lake Forest, Illinois
It's such a joy (she said)
To have Erica in class with me
I really must say how much
I enjoy her company, but...
Dear Mrs. T
Even though I understand
Your husband's on TV
Call it intuition a condition
Is arousing my suspicion
As a trained arithmetician
Well it simply does not compute
She's guessing, she's probably guessing...
Maybe she's cheating, cheating...
F Ms. Valentine x4
Dear Mrs. T
I understand you didn't make it
All the way to college like me
But really it is simply public knowledge you see
A child from the South Side
The outside is automatically unqualified
She can't hang
It's the order of the universe
It's ying yang
And so although the way
She comes at every problem
Makes it easier to solve them
I simple have no choice
In remedial...math
She's guessing, she's probably guessing...
Maybe she's cheating, cheating...
F Ms. Valentine x4...
