Manimal

i'm animal in control
unleash the dog in me
let my senses guide me
let instinct take its toll

part of master, part of beast
a thinking creature roams this earth
unthinking in his passions
passionate in his ways

i'm animal out of control
i've got to get ahold
the dog in me is leading now
searching for release

There She Goes Again

there she goes again
i see her now and then
my sorrow grows again
shes gone, gone, gone

she passes by me again
i never know just when
walking by me again
going on and on and on

im here, and shes there
it seems i see her everywhere
and she goes, god knows
why i care

going by me again
im going to cry myself blue
i just dont know where shes been
or where shes going to

The Retaking Of New Orleans (The Ballad Of Gen. Russell Honore)

When hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans
She destroyed many buildings and split the trees
A great flood came and swamped the city
Many did perish and what remained was not pretty

In the days which ensued the hungry cried
The many elderly drowned and many sick soon died
Rebels surfaced to plunder and rape
Trapped in the ruins the refugees could not escape

When hope seemed lost and complete catastrophe neared
A chopper landed and a "John Wayne-looking dude" appeared
Yelling and cursing for the troops to get out in the fray
This was the entrance of General Russell Honore

He ordered the soldiers to keep their guns pointed down
But deal with the unrest with a heavy hand in the town
Strength of the government and order ensued
He then fed the starving with water and food

As he walked the street corner he saw a weakened lady
Ran up to her and grabbed up her falling babies
He told this woman he would get them help today
General Honore came and New Orleans was saved

The March Of The Angels

when all of the saints in the heavens come down
the march of the angels, the glorious sound
when all of the lost have been found once again
all will be blessed and the sorrow will end

all that did perish will rise once more
our maker will show us what dying is for
we'll all stand together at the end of time
marching with angels and feeling so fine

all of creation in harmony as one
the loved ones restored when the healing is done
listen dear children for their alien sound
when the march of the angels come marching around
