Back In The Ussr

Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it's good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mind.

South Beach

Zombies and ex-presidents,
Kissing cousins, try to make friends
With little girls in bright blue bonnets
Waiting for their mothers by the bus stop
Under the banyan trees in South Miami-
They all go together unaccompanied
By the sun, to shopping malls where
They used to sell their blindfolded brothers as slaves
Who could not see the desperate Cubans
In their rafts being circled by sharks
Being circled by the Coast Guard so close to South Beach-
Here pink fellows play Russian Roulette
With the venereal diseases of their loneliness:
Its cliché, but they all have bichon frises as pets,
And sing in dresses in the cabaret on Tuesdays
And live in lonely little apartments
Overlooking parking lots, overlooking the sea
Where spotty mermaids, the part time whores,
Wash their scabby knees in the salt and sing
Melodies of lost memories, to the little girls’ parade,

Perverts In The Sun

(feat. The Trolls)
The USA is movin' south
Our power is mostly mouth
Miami beach to Malibu
Hot weather makes'em wanna screw
Shemales, jumps bails
Weird tales on the scales
If it fails chip'n dale
Hit the gym in animal skin
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Fruit punch
Go to crunch
Take a pill
Lose your will
Get a job, in street promotion
Pushing handbills on the ocean
Gang fights all night

Why Is My Heart Surprised?

for my dad, the quiet captain of life

Why is my heart surprised?
I can break gravity
Skipping that happy child dance
Then I remember that blue tag
Hanging from my windshield mirror...

Why is my heart surprised?
Walking hand and hand with my dad
Delighting in those wondrous aero-antics...
Then I recall that those Blue Angels
Gave way to flights on the Wings of Eagles...

Why is my heart surprised?
Walking together each afternoon
On those Castaway docks
A strawberried toddler reciting,
Hammerhead, Bull Dolphin, Weakfish, Grouper

Shame On You

Somebody tryin to take my soul
Nobody gotta hear my rock n roll
Shame, shame, shame on you babe
Shame, shame, shame on you babe
No leader, steady as a ghost
Tooth sweeter, powdering her nose
Shame, shame, shame on you babe
Shame, shame, shame on you babe
A-smith, old hank pank
Pulling down your knickers
Ah, who you gonna spank
Shame, shame, shame on you babe
Shame, shame, shame on you babe
Joe perry, oh, mr style
Some kind of killer bee
Buzz a while
Shame, shame, shame on you babe
Shame, shame, shame, shame on you babe
Shame, shame, shame on you babe
Shame, shame, shame on you babe

Extraits

The Man Closing Up,' from Night Light' (1967),

would make his bed,
If he could sleep on it.
He would make his bed with white sheets
And disappear into the white,
Like a man diving,
If he could be certain
That the light
Would not keep him awake,
The light that reaches
To the bottom.

dour vision of life's journey: from 'Sestina on Six Words by Weldon Kees'

There is no way to ease the burden.
The voyage leads on from harm to harm,
A land of others and of silence.

'The Miami of Other Days'

Mamolapenga

I bumped into her at the Coco Cabana
Down in Cuban town in little Havana
I asked her her name, she said Juanita
I just had to ask cuz I just had to meet her
I heard of fast girls but she's a speeder
She said she was hungry and told me to feed her
So I got an expresso and a hot burrito
You look so sweet you fine senorita
Mamalopenga, mama sita
It's a black thing baby so you know it's sweeter
Okay Juanita now I must be your guy
She said Juanita's my nickname, call me Spanish fly
Black girls white girls even Puerto Ricans
But the Mexicans and Cubans are all so freakin'
I like 'em in dresses with big 'ole chesses
I also like the style and the way she impresses
The fragrance of her perfume smells like roses
She's guarenteed to turn heads whenever she poses
She lives in Miami and of Latin descent
And being with her is how my time should be spent

It's a long way from Miami to L.A.
It's a longer way from yesterday to where I am today.
It's a long way from my thoughts to what Ill say.
It's a long long way from paradise to where I am today.
All that's in my head is in Your hands.
It's a long way from the moon up to the sun.
It's a longer road ahead of me, the road that Ive begun.
Stop to think of all the time Ive lost,
Start to think of all the bridges that Ive burned that must be crossed.
Over, over, over,
Take me over
I've been poison, I've been rain.
I've been fooled again.
I've seen ashes shine like chrome.
Someday Ill see home.
Home...
Home...
I can see the stars from way down here.
But I can't fall asleep behind the wheel.
It's a long way from the shadows in my cave

I Got A Girl (S-Kimo Mix)

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Lou Bega on a trip won't you all come in
With a little bit of this
And a little bit of that
You can get what you see
You can see what you get
And I bet that you're all a little bit excited
If you need a autograph, honey I can write it
I got a girl the smart one on the planet
Some called Whitner, some called Jenny
chorus
I got a girl in Paris
I got a girl in Rome
I even got a girl in the vatican dome
I got a girl right here, I got a girl right there
And I got a girlfriend everywhere.
I got a girl on the moon
I got a girl on mars
I even got a girl that likes to dance in the stars
I got a girl right here, and one right there

Screaming Through December

What a crew we made up there was faustus
Burnt out from playing too many bars, on a jersey shore
And sammy, almost bald from ironing her hair too much
Back in 64
And me and phazon out of phase, of least my temporary
Name for the day
Oh, blown away and screaming
All blown away and screaming
All blown away and screaming thru december
We crossed state lines we were burning
Although the cold could freeze your hand, to the steel
Of the wheel
Miami, just a cold hearted word
From a warm smiling man on a sign in a field
We laughed just o take up some time my (hmmm) job
Was staring to dry, and we went screaming thru december
Quasar, quasar, where the first words I heard from faustas
All day
And giggling he apologized and then returned to flicking
His blade

Walk On The Wild Side

Holly came from miami f.l.a.
Hitch hicked away cross u.s.a.
Plucked her eye brows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she, she said
Hey babe take a walk on the wild side
Said hey honey take a walk on the wild side
Candy came from out on the island
In the back room she was every bodys darling
But she never lost head
Enven when she even head she said
Hey babe take a walk on the wild side
Said hey babe take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls godoo doo doo
Little joe never once gave it away
Every body had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New york city is the place where they said
Hey babe take a walk on the wild side
Said hey joe take a walk on the wild side
Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets

Professor Slamdunk

In those lands we've discussed,
Where people grow older...
But not 'up'.
Minds that do become wisened in time,
Are stuck...
If choosing to live in such environments.

People restricted to limits are convinced,
Their immature activities make sense.
And going through the motions,
Inflicted upon them by traditional routines...
Become as ritualized duties,
That leaves them unthreatened...
Yet suspicious of a thought process,
Not authorized by someone selected.

Impressed by those they respect who suppress.
With an oppressing done that beats their brows.
And,
Of course...

Miami 2017

Ive seen the lights go out on broadway,
I saw the empire state laid low.
And life went on beyond the palaces.
They all bought cadillacs,
Left there long ago
We held a concert out in brooklyn.
To watch the island bridges blow.
It turned our power down,
And drove us underground,
But we went right on with the show.
Ive seen the lights go out on broadway,
I saw the ruins at life end.
You know we almost didnt notice it,
We see it all the time
On 42nd street
It burned the churches up in harlem
Like in that spanish civil war.
The flames were everywhere,
And no one really cared,
It always burned up there before

Horse Pills

So your ex got a mansion where you kick it on the hill,
your boy comes to see you, he's your Hollywood thrill.
He's a Spanish fly, that bucks like a stallion.
In the suits that you got him, he looks more Italian.
You worry bout your tan when the weather's gettin' clammy,
summer in the city and winters in Miami.
You get so high on the high life pills,
cruisin' and boozin' and rockin' on the horse size pills.
You could even take more thrills- you could even take more spills,
pills, thrills, chills and ills man, kills.
And rockin' on the horse size.
Butt's gettin' bigger, do you think he'll notice maybe?
That's ok, don't worry bout it baby!
Cause everybody knows he pumps you for your money, that's alright,
don't worry bout it honey!
In your itsy bitsy teenie weenie riding up your butt bikini.
Keepin' on the heels cause you're saggin'
just a teenie bit more than the girls he pretends he doesn't thrill.
Rubbin' on the lotion, and rockin' on the horse size pills.
You could even take more thrills,

Ninja Rap

YO! it's the green machine--gonna rock the town without bein' seen
have you ever seen a turtle Get Down?--Slammin' Jammin' to the new swing sound
Yeah, everybody let's move--Vanilla is here with the new Jack Groove
Gonna rock, and roll this place--With the power of the ninja turtle bass
Iceman, ya know I'm not playin'--Devastate the show while the turtles are sayin:
chorus:
Ninja, Ninja, RAP! Ninja, Ninja, RAP!
GO GO GO GO
Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO; Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO!
Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO; Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO!
GO GO GO GO
Lyrics, fill in the gap--Drop that bass and get the NINJA RAP
Feel it, if you know what i mean--Give it up, hour after hour
Cause in this life there's only one winner--You better aim good so you can hit the center
In it to win, with a team of four--Ninja Turtles that you gotta adore it's the:
chorus
Villians you better run and hide--Because one day you might not slide
Choose your weapon but don't slip--Vanilla's in control with the flex of the mic grip
Rockin' the crowd the way it should be rocked--With the Miami drop that you like alot
Hittin' like a Ninja Turtle when the bass kicks in--You better check your level
