King Midas
(F. Meyer BMI Ditty Dat Music
sinners oh sinners
you’re evil and you’re doomed
tell us of your wicked ways
and satisfy our wounds
satisfy our wounds
pious one, pious one
oh do you know the way?
does your heart lead with love
is judgement in the way?
judgement in your way?
angry man, angry man
what has angered you?
may we bring forgiveness forth
for I am angry too
I am angry too
Marigold oh Marigold
what has your father done?
greed has cursed the kingdom
and into gold you’ve turned
into gold you’ve turned
King Midas, King Midas
we know you told the truth
Apollo put a jinx on you
cuz Pan piped the blues
Pan played the blues
satyr oh satyr
let’s hear your lusty song
fill the air with musty earth
of which we all belong
which we all belong.

Ease My Mind
(F. Meyer BMI Ditty Dat Music)
i’ve been blinded by my shadow
i can’t see the light of day
if i get lost in something
maybe then i’ll find my way
i wanna be free of me
if for just little while
i got to ease my mind
‘fore i go another mile
how i long to hear a secret
whispered to me by my muse
or find a little wisdom
about the road out of the blues
but the blues took me over
and have done me most unkind
till i find a little wisdom
i just need to ease my mind.

Stranded Here In Oz
(Regan Brown BMI Treehaus Music)
once i was a girl in kansas
dreaming of bright city lights
now i live beyond the rainbow
but i still dream in black and white
i click my red ruby slippers
but they don’t do a goddamn thing
i am prairie girl in exile
who can’t go home again
well the scarecrow is now the wizard
and the lion is the jungle king
i like my horses all one color
i’m so tired of emerald green
oh Auntie Em, i’m so alone
my kansas soul longs for home
back on the farm they shrug their shoulders
as the months turn into years
i am the wild one who road the twister
that dreaming girl who disappeared
in my dreams the witches monkeys
have all become my friends
and they fly me through the wheatfields
where i’m drifting in the wind
oh Auntie Em, i’m so alone
my kansas soul longs for home
now i live beyond the rainbow
but i still dream in black and white.

One More For Sayra Liz
(F. Meyer BMI Ditty Dat Music)
cold blue wind
blowing straight through me
somewhere in that wind
hear an angel sing
wind keeps blowing
blowing all the way
i just turned my head
looked the other way
what i might have said
if i took the time
how you made me rich
singing right before my eyes
voice of laughing lonesome
filling up a jar
stories like blanket
warmed our weary hearts.

Black Widow Spider
(F. Meyer BMI Ditty Dat Music)
i ain’t no black widow spider
ain’t gonna chomp on your head
i ain’t no black widow spider
i ain’t gonna kill you dead
but if you come little closer
see what you get instead
like clash of the cave clan
thunderstruck with primal fear
it’s a clash of the cave clan
thunderstruck with primal fear
it’s riot of the senses
stand your ground or disappear
see that man of the tv
why don’t his heart explode
see that man of the tv
why don’t his heart explode
acting mad as he’s crazy
stirring up dust road
i ain’t no black widow spider
ain’t gonna chomp on your head
i ain’t no black widow spider
i ain’t gonna kill you dead
but if you come little closer
see what you get instead

Dandy Cat
(F. Meyer-E. Antinelli BMI Ditty Dat Music)
fog rolls thru lamp post beam
dandy cat is on the scene
shiny spats, patten vest
mystery essence on his breath
to the captain tips his hat
revealing not his lust for sprat
tail a twitch / on the prowl
he's a kitten's wishing well
he doth swagger he doth strut
violins play in his gut
rolls the dice / cuts the cards
robs a bank with his charm
to the docks he casts a spell
more than fish he craves the smell
takes a heart won't give it back
they filet themselves for dandy cat
bridge
they say he is a poseur
illusions of composure
but you see, now my friends
that is not the point
tis the form he's after
to be is just disaster
and anyway, who's to say?
who'll they'll next appoint
he is dandy so refined
i doubt for you he has the time
unless he thinks you are a fish
or care to fill a futile wish
rain hath left him quite undone
solitaire loll in sun
dandy cat stays in a dream
plays again to draw a king

Cap Gun Dory
(F. Meyer BMI Ditty Dat Music)
here's the story of Cap Gun Dory
outside the law
in the light of glory
she robbed banks
she robbed trains
her little cap gun went bang, bang, bang
Dory walked out of the five and dime
with a new cap gun
and a valentine
said to the boy workin' at the bank
”fill up the bag, please and thanks"
Cap Gun Dory—Cap Gun Dory!
with sterling nerves and a heart as good
a hot tattoo of Robin Hood
shared the booty
with those in need
and all the rest with whom she pleased
Dory didn’t talk about gun control
she just bought caps by the roll
she'd walk in a joint
and folks would stare
and pop them caps off in the air
Cap Gun Dory—Cap Gun Dory!
papers called Dory no good, lowdown
children smiled when she came ’round
so many big men so afraid
not about the gun
‘twaz the noise she made
sheriff nabbed Dory and took her away
but she slipped by the deputy
singing this song
that’s done been sang
while her little cap gun went bang, bang, bang
Cap Gun Dory—Cap Gun Dory!

Something Wicked
(Lucinda Williams )
something wicked this way comes
like you wish you’d never known
hell fire and brimstone
something wicked this way comes
he is hiding underneath
the grass beneath your feet
and the moss upon the stone
something wicked this way comes
no love has he
will show you no mercy
he will make you his own
something wicked this way comes
he invites you to come in
and drink with him
he will not leave you alone
something wicked this way comes
you will fall from grace
you may never see his face
he was cast out of heaven
something wicked this way comes

Song Of The Crying Pine
(F. Meyer-E. Antinelli BMI Ditty Dat Music)
Turpentine Mabel at work
Turpentine Mable at work
eleven long hours in the gaze of a demon
voice is still, her soul is screamin'
tales of the sea starts her to dreamin’
Turpentine Mable at work
she’s never seen the sea
never ever seen the sea
ships and boats thirst for tar
blisters hands tired and raw
render pitch for boats afar
she’s never even seen the sea
song of the crying pine
song of the crying pine
deep in the dark lost pines
deep in the dark lost pines
another tree stripped and chopped
drained of essence drop by drop
ain’t no tide and the wind blows not
deep in the dark lost pines
she dreams of sailing away
dreams she's sailing away
shadows fall where demons dwell
in a story she longs to tell
on a boat far from pine tar hell
she dreams of sailing away
song of the crying pine
song of the crying pine.

Everybody’s Leaving
(Frank Meyer BMI Ditty Dat Music)
down on cemetery road
under a purple sky
long tombstone shadows
we stopped to say goodbye
mothers, fathers, sons and daughters
their time etched in stone
reposed for the ages
communion of the bones
broken angels mime
dance upon the ore
knowing not knowing
like that forevermore
Chorus:
everybody’s leaving
no one stays on long
no matter what you believe in
soon we’ll all be gone
somewhere in the darkness
hides a callous thief
to steal love away
and leave only grief
god clouds and devil dust
flying bats and falling stars
owls speak as they do
who do they think they are
down on cemetery road
music of the wind
in silence of forever
a ghost defies the end
Chorus
everybody’s leaving….

Come Hither Shore
(F. Meyer/E. Antinelli BMI Ditty Dat Music)
i hear you whisper
as breath in me
on solid rock
through mist and sea
through wind swept grass
ore moss and stone
come hold my hand
take me home
longing to be once more
enraptured as were we before
golden hair ghostly gown
i gazed upon you
drifting down
from deep cold grave
come hither shore
through woeful silence
i long for more
oh cry my name
leave thus thy bones
taste of my tears
take me home.
