the cat with one big EYE






the cat with one big EYE



Walked out the door the other day
Heading for my car 
Dropped my car keys on the grass 
Didn't know what for 
Heard a sound behind my back 
Didn't see a thing 
But didn't like the sound of it 
Was like a growwwwlllling..........

Scooped up the keys 
And did it quick
Scared of unseen foes 
I turned around and on the ground 
I stopped dead still and froze 
There was a cat with One big Eye 
Staring up at me 
Looking like a tiny panther
Hungry for such as me.......

I backed up slowly 
And ran away 
Hurried to my car 
But when I got to the side of the Ford 
The cat was already there 
Where ya going? the cat then asked 
And I didn't know what to say 
I'd never spoken to a cat before 
It was turning out to be a strange day.....

Uh...I'm...uh. um. .I'm going to work
I finally just blurted out 
And I looked around with one eye on the ground 
For someone to whom I could shout 
Just chill out, man, the cat then said 
It's not your day to die
Then the alarm clock screamed 
And it shattered the dream 
But all I could do was lie...

In a pool of sweat, sheets soaking wet 
So happy I could cry 
The dream was no more 
But when I opened the door..... 
There was the cat with One big Eye.

Tsk Tsk


standing in the silence singing
falling on the lawn
looking for the host of heaven
waking up to dawn

kneeling in the afterglow
indulgence knocked you down
i offered you a drink of wine
but you didn't have to drown.

Whisper In The Wind by Paulie B

Whisper in the Wind


Can you hear that?

Yes!
The rumble of the ground
Earth rebels
Cracking and seething
Shaking
Men cry in terror
Buildings fall apart

No, that's not what I meant!
Can you hear that?

Yes!
And I feel the heat!
Sweat pours from me!
Flames lick loudly
Inferno rages
Deafening as wood splinters
External roar
We're all going to die!

No, that's not what I meant!
Can you hear that?

Yes!
Howling gale
Windy scream
Shuddering through all it meets
Causing involuntary cries
From all in its path
Devastating
Tears form in my eyes!

No, that's not what I meant!
Can you hear that?

No
No, I hear nothing
I am worn out

Listen!
It is almost overwhelmed
A tidal wave of white noise seeks to tune it out
Chatter chatter seeks to block it
Competing ideologies seek to confuse it
Listen!
A little voice
You have to be quiet
You have to filter out the other voices
Shhhh!
The whisper
Be still and know that this is God
