If Closets Could Talk & On Our Way Home




Hey Joe, What Does It Mean
If It Burns When I Piss?
 
I Covered for your lies `cos I was your friend
You claim it was only every now and then
Seems more like every now and every then
In fact there's no time I can't remember when

Remember the night after her party
The night you transformed me from a friend into a tool
When you drove the bodacious one out behind the school
You never saw it coming but caught her tainted jewel

Now I fear that even truth can't set me free
I don't want to hurt her again when she's my friend too
She'd leave you and despise me if she only knew
I went along when I knew all along it wasn't true

As if date rape wasn't bad enough for her
You made her pay your doctor's bills for giving you herpes
Made her feel false guilt and bare your burden on her knees
For turning her true love into a sexual disease

She has suffered so, imagine how she felt
Believing it was her fault for making your dick melt
When all along it was your cheating with her best friend
You are the virus that brought four friendships to an end

If Closets Could Talk

When friendship's based on lies
The truth can remain hidden but it never dies
It lives and breeds within, consuming hope for peace of mind
Will my avowal allow me to seek what I must find?

You are not worthy of her
And she deserved so much more than you ever were
I'd have given anything to touch her kind of love
I wonder, do you care who you're under or above?

I'm through lying for you
Dusting off old skeletons so they match the new
I realized too late that you never were my friend
And I'm left to carry a pain that will not mend

We wuz best friends back then
Now I'm ashamed when I look back at were we've been
I'd have done it differently if I had lived your life
Love was not enough, you could have had the perfect wife

Our friendship's based on lies
And my guilt tares me apart every time she cries
But still I cannot tell her for fear she'll hate me too
The truth won't help me now, I'm damned no matter what I do

Now that's unimportant
To cause so much pain was the inverse of my intent
It matters not that I am not the only one to blame
I still bear the guilt for extinguishing the flame

Soul Silhouette

Forgive and forget
Is a phrase I have used
You're certain you've won some twisted bet
But I'm afraid you have the facts confused
And you shouldn't count the payout yet
For trust isn't something to be abused
No my trust isn't something you should have abused

There is no regret
To be found within you
Wealth is all you know how to p
ursue
Though money can never repay your debt
So give from within, your payment's past due
Learn to stand tall without a safety net
It's time you were more than a dark silhouette

Final verse of Ambulance Blues by Neil Young
"I NEVER KNEW A MAN
COULD TELL SO MANY LIES
HE HAD A DIFFERENT STORY
FOR EVERY SET OF EYES
HOW CAN HE REMEMBER
WHO HE'S TALKING TO?
I KNOW IT AIN'T ME
AND I HOPE IT ISN'T YOU"

On Our Way Home
Drive Home
Johnny won't you drive on home?
And when your on your way away from here
Why don't you tilt back and down a beer?
Drive Home!

Drive home
Johnny don't you drive alone
There is no need to fear what you can't see
So relax and have a beer on me.
Drive Home!

Drive home
Johnny got your friend all stoned
He says "Beware of that telephone pole"
The faster you speed the more heads will role.
Drive Home!

Drive home
Johnny you won't make it home
A fair price to pay is the fate you'll share
Tonight's the night you're gonna lose your hair.
Drive Home!

Drive Home
Johnnies mother's on the phone
Johnnies friend won't be sleeping in his bed
It rolled so far they haven't found his head.
Fly Home!

Fly Home
Johnny sings the jailbird moan
You felt lucky cause you survived the ride
But locked in your cell you can't run and hide.
You're Home!

If Closets Could Talk (Original)
As a side note to poem at the top of this page, "If Closets Could Talk",
I originally started writing it after waking up from a bad dream and couldn't find the paper when I woke up in the morning. I had only written one stanza so I started over and then later found the paper I had been writing on the night before. Unfortunately I couldn't find a place to make it work in the new version. Later, after re-writing the poem, I finished the original by expanding the story more completely and include it here under the title "Hey Joe, What Does It Mean If It Burns When I Piss?" which is what he asked me after he began to feel the pain from the herpes. TOO LATE!
 
 
Betrayed
What goes through the mind of someone betrayed? What happens to make someone do things that she would never have done? What makes another person who knows right from wrong, who knows that lies will be uncovered or haunt his mind until he confesses, to deceive someone he cares for so very much? What makes a friend ask another to tell lies for him? And what makes one friend more important than the truth, or worse, more important than an innocent woman?


On Our Way Home
This was inspired by several events that have occurred during my life. I've lost quite a few friends over the years from drunk driving and I felt like writing something about it, but found it very hard to write about dead friends. So I wrote something general that expressed my feelings about it. My thoughts are always drawn to a friend of mine who was killed by a drunk driver while he was riding his bike. It was a hit and run and his brother found him lying on the side of the road shortly after he had been hit by the car. Richard was a good kid and a great friend, we had some fun times together and nearly 30 years later I still miss him.
