THE CREEPER
Little baby boy comes up from Rocky Mount 2 the San Juan Hills
Starts hearing the sounds of gospel & jazz
& those sweet sounds water him as he grows w/ the keys
Up in his room above the street he gets curious
& then he go out, there go Thelonious looking for the Creeper
when night fall take stroll over the Brooklyn bridge
Start hearing the sounds of young man
up there in his overcoat he just working on his sound
& its such a sweet sound as he blows, blows all night long
then in the morning god damm there goes Sonny looking for the Creeper
One day Charlie says ta Dizzy lets split the band
take it up to the shitty
you can hear their confessions blowing out of the playhouse now
& its such a sweet sound as it blows down the Ave.
warms in the peoples heads well its bebop
& in the morning we got Coltrane looking for the Creeper
FLAPPERS
Ive seen our sins
soaped up & made to shine
my country wakes & feels unloved
yeah Im jones-in on channel 9
Sometimes its pancakes for days
& selling everything you own
We sit & gripe over neglected teeth
I should get up cause the poor shouldn't loose its bite
you can go crazy chaseing a smoking gun
watch the kids drop thier guitars
& pick up rifles
the method is gone way 2 far
the lamps of sleep are always on
tomorrow is a frontier & were asking how?
there are no leaders we take them where we wanna go
Sometimes its backwards but mostly way 2 slow
please pass the hope as we sit down 2 eat are shoes
Oh come morning may a light break on you
hit my load hit this load
