Out In The Street - inspired by the life and writing of Victor Serge
there’s a policeman living across the hall
listens in whenever there’s a phone call
providing an example of the path not taken
there’s a crowd of people out in the street
and they are shouting no one should be rich
now when grandfather was out in the street
he was shouting no one should be poor
in short life displayed itself to me
varying aspects of degrading captivity
I’m no good
I’m no good for this machine
in father’s house
there were portraits on the wall
of the men who were hanged
thou shalt fight back
this was his one command

Mysteries Of Saint Louis, Part One - inspired by the life and writing of Henry Boernstein
Boernstein is a ghost calling from the past
of blue and gray uniforms
arsenals lost and won
unions formed and broken
Boernstein is a ghost calling from the past
a memory put on a shelf
shut in a cabinet and locked
in the library at night
Boernstein is a name misspelled on a grave
the sun rises over Bloody Island
stormy nights along the river
nobody on the banks
looking to the Illinois side
Boernstein is a ghost calling from the past
sees the people eating fast
sees the people working slow
sees everything looking like it's all upside down
