wasted and wounded....

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 5, 2009, 9:30 PM



















...it ain't what the moon did
i've got what i paid for now
see ya tomorrow, hey Frank, can i borrow
a couple of bucks from you, to go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me


i'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
and i'm tired of all these soldiers here
no one speaks English, and everything's broken
and my Stacys are soaking wet
to go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me

now the dogs are barking
and the taxi cab's parking
a lot they can do for me
i begged you to stab me
you tore my shirt open
and i'm down on my knees tonight
old Bushmill's I staggered, you buried the dagger in
your silhouette window light to go
waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me


now i lost my Saint Christopher now that i've kissed her and the one-armed bandit knows, and the maverick Chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs
and the girls down by the strip-tease shows go
waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me


no, i don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now
manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
they want a piece of the action anyhow go
waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me


and you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor
and the old men in wheelchairs know
that Matilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred
and she follows wherever you may go
waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me


and it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace
and a wound that will never heal
no prima donna, the perfume is on
an old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
and goodnight to the street sweepers
the night watchman flame keepers
and goodnight to Matilda too

not much to say really. just wanted to give you all the heads up that i made it out alive and well. i don't have the energy right now to go into any of the details of the last ten days and i doubt i ever will. suffice it to say it was on of the worst experiences of my life. i didn't have access to any music so i did the best i could to write down the lyrics of some of my favorite songs. tom traubert's blues, quoted above happens to be one of the songs that got me through. hope you like it.

i also decided to make book two available again. the title happens to be inspired by the song too, so it really isn't a coincidence that you see it here. so click on the image below, buy the book and make me rich, or something.

finally, i am in monett tonight with my dear friend ~49pearls. we'll be hanging prints all day tomorrow. i am so excited about it that i'm having a hell of a time going to sleep. anyway, hope everyone is doing well.

be excellent to each other

:peace:
