`What Is This Life I've Been Livin'`

Collections
By Jack Plitt

Why do I write some of the things I write? Well, I get in moods just like everyone else. I get inspired, I'm happy, I'm mad, I love everything, I hate all (just kidding).

I write because I want to. I might have something on my mind. I might be writing from experiences. Sometimes I put myself in someone elses shoes. Sometimes I just take on a whole different personality and go with it (that one's scary but what the hell).

Mostly I write because it gives me pleasure. I can explore new worlds or create my own. That is the whole idea of writing to me, CREATION. What would life be without creation? There would be no songs, no movies, no sit-coms to make you laugh your ass off. There would probably not be a life. If you think about it, where did we come from? Someone came up with an idea and poof! here we are.

Anyways, that is why I write and I hope that you enjoy the following creations.

`I would like to thank the following people:`

L. Ron Hubbard, for helping me, through his writings, bring my life to order & making me a better person. My Mother, for always believing in me. Alice Cooper, for his inspiration and black humor writing and making shock-rock acceptable and just being Alice. And mostly, Tamera (Tami) Noll, who holds the key to me.

`My musical inspirations:`

Alice of course, Chick Corea, Lee Gordon, Tommy (nice sneakers)Brechtlein, Eric (brother freak) Allan-Wilcox, Garth Brooks, Dave Mustaine, Steve Vai, Ed (Smash) Mottsey, Joe Satriani, Frank Zappa, Bob (Time to make a video BOB!) Breitenstien, Joan Jett, Shania Twain, Slash, Michael Bruce, Peter Criss and all artist who don't take any crap for what they believe in.

I would like to thank all my friends and family (sorry MCI) for which this list is incredibly too long. You know who you are.

Jax

`Bed Of Fire`

First Verse

Hey what you doin', do you think you're cool

You're goin' down just like a fool

Throw away those needles, throw away that bag

Don't you know, they make life a drag

Chorus

(You're gonna burn on your bed of fire)

You're gonna burn baby, burn, burn, burn

(You're gonna burn on your bed of fire)

You're gonna burn baby, burn, burn, burn

Second Verse

All of your life you never had a lot

Cuz you burned your money for that pot

You lost your wife and your baby Jane

Cuz you had to have your daily dose of cocaine

Chorus

(You're gonna burn on your bed of fire)

You're gonna burn baby, burn, burn, burn

(You're gonna burn on your bed of fire)

You're gonna burn baby, burn, burn, burn

Third Verse

Stop smokin' that dope, and shootin' cocaine

Don't you know you're just frying your brain

Life for you is dull, life for you is dread

No wonder why you ended up, d-d-d-dead

Chorus

(You're gonna burn on your bed of fire)

You're gonna burn baby, burn, burn, burn

(You're gonna burn on your bed of fire)

You're gonna burn baby, burn, burn, burn

Chorus

(You're gonna burn on your bed of fire)

You're gonna burn baby, burn, burn, burn

(You're gonna burn on your bed of fire)

You're gonna burn baby, burn, burn, burn

You made your bed, now sleep in it (ha ha ha)

`Give You My Snakebite`

First Verse

When I go to sleep, You're all I see

I wanna make this dream a reality

I just wish I could tell you how I feel

But when I get close, it gets so unreal

I just fall in a daze and can't get out

Baby please help, I'm lost in doubt

Chorus

I wanna touch you (and make you feel right)

I wanna taste you (and give you my Snakebite)

Feel you (and hold you tight)

Oh baby please, give me the right

Second Verse

Everytime you're near, you kick start my heart

And when you're not around, my world falls apart

Your hair flows like a sunset sky

And your seductive smile just gets me high

And your tender lips look so sticky sweet

Oh girl you just, knock me off my feet

Chorus

I wanna touch you (and make you feel right)

I wanna taste you (and give you my Snakebite)

Feel you (and hold you tight)

Oh baby please, give me the right

Third Verse

When I go out, I always wonder where you are

But when I'm near, you're just too far

I can't communicate the way I feel for you

I just wish I could tell you

My love for you is true

Chorus

I wanna touch you (and make you feel right)

I wanna taste you (and give you my Snakebite)

Feel you (and hold you tight)

Oh baby please, give me the right

Spoken

When I go to sleep you are all that I see

And someday I will make this dream a reality

`He's Just A Little Boy`

First Verse

All his life he held a grudge

From his first grade teacher to this Judge

Always in trouble in the school hall

Always in trouble with the law

Never gave a care for anyone

All he cared for was number one

Livin' his life day by day

Now they're gonna put him away

Chorus

He's just a little boy (he's just a little boy yeah yeah)

Second Verse

His daddy tried to warn him

(Son, stay away from those guys)

Yeah, sure he listened

He just covered his tracks with lies and disguise

Running around with nothin' to do

Except to put some harm on you

He just did it for the thrill

Now they're gonna put him up on The Hill

Chorus

He's just a little boy (he's just a little boy yeah yeah)

Spoken

Eighteen years of nothin' but rejection

Eighteen years of nothin' but hell

Eighteen years gone by too soon - eighteen years - oh well

When you're eighteen you think you're invincible

When you're eighteen you think you know it all

When you're eighteen - face it - you're just a little boy

Chorus

He's just a little boy (he's just a little boy yeah yeah)

`Blow Pop 69`

First Verse

My momma tried to warn me, my daddy did too

I didn't listen cuz I was so in love with you

Girl, you had me going from the very first day

Cuz you told me that you loved me

Huh, then you look the other way

Chorus

Blow Pop 69 (you're a tramp)

Just admit it chick, (you're a tramp)

Spoken

I don't know how you did it

How you could tell me all those lies

But I do know one day

It's gonna hit you right between the eyes

All your running around

Always on the move

Lookin' for a fool like me

To get into your groove

You don't know how good you had it

How good you had it with me

Someday you'll come back

Crawlin' on your hands and knees

Yeah, you'll have some lame excuse

Go to hell girl, it's just no use

Chorus

Blow Pop 69 (you're a tramp)

Just admit it chick, (you're a tramp)

I wish you knew how I feel

I know right now, for you, that it's just not real

That someone could love you as much as I do

Can you face tomorrow, knowing you turned your back on Love?

Can you look in the mirror, knowing you turned your back on Love?

Will your heart be the same, knowing you turned your back on Love?

Can you forgive yourself, knowing you turned your back on Love?

But you left me alone here with nothing to hold

Can you love again, knowing you turned your back on Love?

But it was your choice, to turn your back on Love

I'll go on, and I'll be able to face tomorrow

I wanted to be with you forever

We try to be perfect We try to be the one

We try to be interesting We try to be fun

We try to be sensitive We try to be stern

We try to be humorous We try to learn

We try to be caring We try to be intellectual

We try to be silly We try to be sexual

Chorus

You walk around lonely, in a haze

You sleep at night with no one to hold You wonder what to eat, by yourself

You drive in your car, ready to fold Don't do that, you ain't alone in this ugly town
