I'm getting angry
Unhappy
If I start crying
Please slap me
Just put me in my place
Slap that frown
Right off of my face
You see I'm in a delicate state
Been like this for years
How much longer do I have to wait?
So many emotion
Though only heart break
Is constant
Do whatever it takes
For that's how bad I want it
Yet the only face I trust
Is on the moon

The Innocence of a child - I wish it was all around,
Cause lately I been feelin' that virtue can't be found.
When I stop and see their faces - I look into their eyes,
The innocence of a child - who hasn't yet learn to lie.
I dream I am Holden Caulfield and a Catcher in the Rye,
Yet I know they'll be corrupted thats when I start to sigh.

Comes from a bottle

Have been stripped I see them disappear

Jensen 2

wouldn't pay us hardly nothing. There wasn't anything like a player's union for us
to complain to. It was work or don't work. That damn reserve clause made us
slaves on the cotton field diamond. Cominsky promised us a big bonus for
winning the pennant and when we won he gave us some lousy champagne. Hell,
he even charged us for cleaning our uniforms.

The year of the Series, more people were watching baseball than ever.
After the war it became the talk of the town. The economy recovered and
everyone had more leisure time. People were so damn interested in baseball
that they added a couple of games to the Series. There was a lot more people in
the crowd and there were more gamblers too and they kept trying to get their
hands on us ballplayers and I heard of times where the gamblers were offering
more money than we could make in a year. I guess it was just a matter of time
before somebody gave in. The first I heard about the scandal was before the first
game. Gandil was the brains of it. He offered me 10 thousand dollars to be part
of the fix. I refused him then and again when he upped it to 20 thousand. After
we lost the first two games I knew the fix was on. We won the third game but
then lost the fourth. After the fourth game, Lefty Williams brought 5 thousand
dollars to my room. I was never in the inner circle of the guys in on it, though.
We lost the fifth game and ended up losing the series.

The words on this page
It seems my life has just two seasons / No more, no less, that's all / It seems my life has just two seasons / No summer, no winter - only spring and fall // Sometimes when I look into your eyes / I feel I've been reborn / And still yet other times(older), / I can feel my heart become broken & torn // There's no greater pain then letting what you want / Slip right through your fingertips / Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it don't / But the burning in your heart still lingers / Just like the touch of her lips // What I feel I might not always say / But I need you tonight as much as I did today / (crossed-out word, illegible) / What you should be knowing / Is that my love for you is still growing / Let us hope it never fades away

It's time to get my head back in the game
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
of everybody's whining
look at me and see how this has effected me
Even I'm complaining...

Turn all that negativity
Into positive energy world wants
Unravel what this me
Keep travelling until you end up
Just where you're supposed to be
Like your last name was wilbury

Decide if the truth was ever
carved in the stone
yes, men have moved mountains
yet have never moved them
Any carpenter can build a house
But it's up to you to make it a
home

The idols are many
the gods are few.
What you believe in is up to you
And the book that was written
No one knows if it's true
time
When it's your
as anything left but your name.
As the ashy breath sin
Than a mind that will never
change
That will always remain the
same?

My heart palpitates
The hands of time move
yet still I wait
