The journey your about to make is more then I can explain to you,
This path you say you were born to take is more then I could ever do
These song that I'd wished I could write, would barely ever stay the
night
and the feelings that I sing about so rarely come out right
Trite as it might seem, its a place everybody's been
point to the stars and claim "I'm going to go so far"
Hair of the dog that bit me, is the glove that really fit me
if you told me I'm going somewhere in this world, I'd swear you'd gotta be
kidding me
These song that I'd wished I could write, would barely ever stay the
night
and the feelings that I sing about so rarely come out right
Trite as it might seem, its a place everybody's been
point to the stars and claim "I'm going to go so far"
The wisdom of the ages is there ain't no wisdom in age,
all you'll ever learn is how much youth we all waste
So be prepared to understand, every star was once a fan
no matter how much your willing to stake, most of us only get a taste
Trite as it might seem, its a place everybody's been
Trite as it might seem, its a place everybody's been
Trite as it might seem, its a place everybody's been
we all point to the stars and claim "I'm going to go so far"
The Girl I'll Never Know© 2000

Why do I just lose my nerve,
seconds after I first see
her
its so silly you see,
she's just a child just like me
probly meant
for,
but I guess, I may never know.
Just like these boulders piled
high in the jetty,
watching them break up the waves
keep me feeling so
safe,
slowly lonely going insane,
that I might never know
and who
am I to say
it isn't better off this way
Summer you ain't so hot
when
Autumn takes you away
Just after sunset,
the clouds all glow
red
memmories of a single smile is all I get
but again, I guess,
I may
never know
and who am I to say
it isn't better off this way
Summer
you ain't so hot
when Autumn takes you away
And halfway around the
world
I'm dreaming of this long lost girl
not quite as pretty as
you
but she made all those pretty lies sound so true
and yesteday's
nostalgia game
keeps me feeling quite insane
love always arrives too
late
cause in this town the roads are all one way
You see the sea
reflexts the flickering lights
of a sun that don't know wrong from
right
she closes curtains and leaves my sight
so sadly say goodnight
to
the girl I'll never know.
Curiosity's Cat© 1999
by Mahlon H. Greene

Dull is convinced
there ain't nothin' goin'
on
and Regret's tryin' to remember
right where he went
wrong
Embittered's standing on the corner
frozen to the bone
and Jaded
says to herself
the day is just too long
Jovial found a party
downtown
but Shy refused to go
and Pride said he knew the way
couldn't
admit he didn't know.
Doubt is sitting in the wings
just laughing to
himself
and Rage in middle age
Finds he's got nothin' but his
health
and Joy tripped her whole day through
just watching her years
melt
all three are quick to admit
their jealous of Ol' Man
Wealth
Constance got stuck sittin' with the kids
Impatience drops by
for another visit
Greed found an open window
and charges twenty bucks a
head
Sorrow's song bird
knows a song you never heard
don't waste
your time she'll never tell
Curiosity's Cat
know's right where it's at
if
you ask him twice..
you might as well
Responsibility owns
his own cement
shoes
and Solitude's got sandles
with soles worn right through
and Love
found her mother's warnings
all too true
My good friend Nostalgia
stops
by to sing the blues
Sorrow's song bird
knows a song you never
heard
don't waste your time she'll never tell
Curiosity's Cat
know's
right where it's at
if you ask him twice..
you might as well
