As you slide out of my face
I guess I won't need the mace
You go your merry way
Obnoxious - more each day
As my need turns to greed
I must control anothers soul
Then I read and realize
I just want to be one of your spies
What do you really have to offer?
You annoy to get attention
Oh and I forgot to mention
You now have a suspension

Chorus:
When are you gonna come over here?
When are you gonna tell me everything?
'Cos I've been waiting here for years,
But I'll tell you it's nice for now.
Verse 1:
Oh babe I love you so.
Don't you worry, I won't go.
You hold the cards, but I don't mind,
'Cos love ain't fair, but ours is kind.
Chorus:
When are you gonna come over here?
When are you gonna tell me everything?
'Cos I've been…

Stumbling through
The shadows
To
An End
Where did it began
Where do I go
I wish I could know
But I will
And I will
Rise up
To you
On my darkest day
I will
I will
Rise up
To you
All the pain fades away
Sifting through the fog
On a night
Like this
I see the light
Shining
In the darkness
Shrouded by mist
When does lost end
And found begin
Wrapped…

If I never get to touch your face
If I never get to look in your eyes
If I never get to kiss your lips
Because of you
At least
I will always have this
If I never embrace you again
If our paths aren't meant to cross
If you are only a memory in the night
At least
You
Have shown me more love
More light
Then you will ever know
And if you were only meant to teach me
If you were only meant to reach me
If you…

Thoughts of him
Rest
On my fingertips
Love of him
Rests
On my lips
Sounds of his voice
Rest
In my heart
And these emotions are carried
Through fingertips

I read your book
To the point where the pages
Have started to fall apart
I wish I could respond
With some eloquent words
But I don't know where to start
It seems to me
A good idea
To stumble in the dark
So I could put words down
Maybe I can ground
To forget the aching
In my heart
And tonight
I will dream
Of what can never be
So I can
Try to escape
The longing
Inside of…

Last night unto my bed bethought there came
Our lady of strange dreams, and from an urn
She poured live fire, so that mine eyes did burn
At the sight of it. Anon the floating fame
Took many shapes, and one cried: "I am shame
That walks with Love, I am most wise to turn
Cold lips and limbs to fire; therefore discern
And see my loveliness, and praise my name."
And afterwords, in radiant garments dressed
With sound of flutes and laughing of glad…

I'm a plastic man in a plastic land
It's fantastic man
Come let's give a hand
To the leaders who
Teach us how to woo
Almost everyone until they come undone-
And hide the truth from the youth
Live a plastic life with my plastic soul
Social suicide
If I break my role
So I nod and smile
Like a country mile
Though I'm feeling vile inside
Other plastic men
Laugh and shake my hand
As we all 'can can'
To…

Enjoy the day!
I can't I owe money
What did you say?
I can't I owe money
Enjoy the sun
I can't I owe money
Have some fun
I can't I owe money
Look at the kids
I can't I owe money
Step on a flower
I can't I owe money
Say something funny
I can't I owe money
What did you pay
All of my money
Why did you borrw?
It brought you sorrow
There's always tomorrow
Don't be a w**** oh!
Enjoy your…

Treat Me Like A Star Star
If you treat me like a start I will shine for you
Find the time for you
Walk the line for you
You can come in as you are
I will mind for you
All the things you do
Until all is true
And I'll treat you like a star star too!
If you treat me like a star
I will buy you a car or a bar
Maybe an empanada or an enchilada
So wherever you are -
Just treat me like a start
And we will go…

The 5-4-7 Arts Center in Greensburg, built to high "green" standards after the devastating tornado nearly destroyed the town in 2007, has begun selling Jack's latest book. The title poem, "A Splendid Alternative," was written about Greensburg's admirable rebuilding efforts. Jack has decided to donate all profits from sales of "Splendid" to the Arts Center and is recommending that fans also consider donations.
The Arts Center building is the first "LEED Platinum" building in Kansas.…

Greed! War!, Make it stop!
I cried yesterday, but no not for me,
for them our freedom the dying
the death, I pray, I sit silently
and die, inside I cry, can it stop
the fight, the war, the loved ones
please let it end
my heart stands still
for them, I care.
The blood rises high
bodies, blown to bits
arms, limbs get torn
young people our newborns gone
in memory they live on,
but it's not enough,
to keep us…

"Embrace Life, and Let Live"
Kiss the air
make it cry
reach for the sky
as it runs by
comb the mountains
with your smile
embrace the laughter
when the waves climb high
enlighten your senses
with a paintbrush
create a scene
when your toes touch
circle the road
with wide open eyes
find a forbiding place
for your mind to hide
caress the night
with the soul that you hold
remember my darling
we…

It was the middle of the night
And I was waiting hard
Hoping you would come into my back yard
Take me to that place where we go now and then
Whisper me in with your real live wind
Ain't no use fighting time with time
He always wins at the end of the line
Gotta give in-make the change and then
Get used to being what you are again
And whisper live wind like there's no tomorrow
Whisper live wind like there ain't no sorrow
Can't…
