Dancing with the Cat Girls... Again!
by clash bowley
Copyright 2023
It was so peculiar
I don't know why it always ends up this way
It's like the world's on fire
and they ask so sweet if I can come out to play
Dancing with the cat girls... again!
Dancing with the cat girls, oh my!
Dancing with the cat girls... again!
I been a bad bad boy and I made them cry
The night was special
The stars above were all carved out of ice
My mind was all political
But the girls they treat me so nice
Dancing with the cat girls... again!
Dancing with the cat girls, oh my!
Dancing with the cat girls... again!
I been a bad bad boy and I made them cry
The world is an awful place
Full of fear and panic and fright
It would be so much better
If the girls could only kiss it goodnight
Dancing with the cat girls... again!
Dancing with the cat girls, oh my!
Dancing with the cat girls... again!
I been a bad bad boy and I made them cry

Situation Rising
by clash bowley
Copyright 2023
Respectable
A choice that I made
Electable
Never will fade
Hear the choir sing
Feel that heartbeat jump
What will the new day bring
Glory or just some chump
Celebrate it all
Look to the bright horizon
Just let it fall
Situation rising
Commendable
I tell you it's true
Extendable
Expanding on cue
Hear the doorbell ring
What would you desire?
Just some little thing
That you would fain acquire?
Celebrate it all
Look to the bright horizon
Just let it fall
Situation rising
Remarkable
The joy one can wring
Hierarchical
Peasant to king
So why do we cling
To the old and dated?
Up and up we spring
To the long awaited

Living With the Ghosts
by clash bowley
Copyright 2023
I put a log on the fire
And the flames lick up
Sparks drifting to heaven
And I drink from the cup
There are ghosts in the darkness
I can feel them near
Their cold dead fingers
Brush against my ear
Living with the ghosts
Living with the ghosts
They never leave my sight
Living with the ghosts
The fire warms me
But they feel it not
When you are not quite there
No such thing as hot
But they like the illusion
They like to pretend
That they are not just ghosts
Forever without end
Living with the ghosts
Living with the ghosts
They never leave my sight
Living with the ghosts
Fire burns down to ashes
And the coals they glow
Like unto the cracks of Hell
Where the lava flows
The ghosts never vanish
Nor do they appear
They just look into my eyes
And chill my bones with fear
Living with the ghosts
Living with the ghosts
They never leave my sight
Living with the ghosts
Living with the ghosts
Living with the ghosts
They never leave my sight
Living with the ghosts

Lift
by clash bowley
Copyright 2023
You lift me up when I fall down
When I fall short you don't back down
And when I look into your eyes
There is no hurt, there are no lies
The fires of love are burning hot
I give my heart with all I've got
You lift my heart, I float in peace
The water warm without caprice
And all my fears they drift away
And where they go I cannot say
I put my heart into your hands
We will walk in promised lands
You lift my soul up to the stars
With all it's weight, with all it's scars
You give me joy, you keep me sane
You give me love, never in vain
You'll hold my hand until the end
Until the last you are my friend

Horizon
by clash bowley
Copyright 2023
We all know the world is dark
And that there is no light
Everybody gotta work in the darkness
Without our sense of sight
But there's a light on the horizon
And if you look you'll see
There's a light on the horizon
And just maybe it can set us free
The world is full of shadow
The world is full of fear
We navigate by sense of touch
And pain is how we steer
But there's a light on the horizon
And if you look you'll see
There's a light on the horizon
And just maybe it can set us free
We all keep to ourselves
We all protect our own
We all fear the stranger
And so the seeds are sown
But look - a light!
See it now!
See it shine so bright!
If we can only hold onto each other
We can win this fight!
Our existence is measured
By the love we give
That is our only treasure
The only way to live
And there's a light - oh, there's a light!
Shining for you to see!
If you look you can see this light
And you'll know just what you can be

The Martian Rock

Copyright 2018, 2023
Whenever I see that Martian sun
I wanna take out my laser gun
Poppin' off Greenies one by one
Shootin' Greenies is so much fun
Do the Rock
Do the Rock
Do the Martian Rock
Do the Rock
Do the Rock
Do the Martian Rock
Whenever I see that Martian sand
I feel my laser in my hand
Greenies crawlin' after me
Shoot 'em down, one, two, three
Do the Rock
Do the Rock
Do the Martian Rock
Do the Rock
Do the Rock
Do the Martian Rock
Whenever I wear them wartime boots
I see them Greenies and start to shoot
A night on the town and we're feelin' fine
Boy we had ourselves a time!
Do the Rock
Do the Rock
Do the Martian Rock
Do the Rock
Do the Rock
Do the Martian Rock

Into the Abyss
by clash bowley
copyright 2023
I could only think I had done you wrong
And you pulled away because you are strong
So I fell on down into an abyss
Writhed in torment there, heard the serpents hiss
Wandered through the hells, felt the lash of fire
Burning on my back, born of my desire
And the endless pain I bore on my soul
Pitchforks stabbed me deep, formed their bloody holes
Then you picked me up, set me on my feet
Told me I was wrong, pulled me from defeat
Fed me on the truth, fed me on your love
Held me to your heart, love that I dreamed of

Not At All Like Ours
by clash bowley
Copyright 2023
In the deepest ether
A rock floated bold as brass
And a people lived there
Of a colorful cast
The piers and wharves
they brimmed with cargo
From the farthest lands
Spoons and clocks
Plants and animals
Cloths and folded fans
A culture strange
Not at all like ours
A world far out
Full of fragrant flowers
I walked the streets in wonder
My eyes wide and bright
To see the beauty of it
To see the bitterest blight
A treasure so transcendent
A squalor oh so vile
I walked in fascination
Mile after mile

Qebhet

In the sands of Egypt
In the dark of night
Qebhet walked in leather sandals
Moonbeams oh so bright
She carried water strange
She carried water pure
She carried water strange
And dark was her allure
Water cool she carried
Water for the dead
Water for the souls
When the thirsty pled
She carried water strange
She carried water pure
She carried water strange
And dark was her allure
Water for the souls
Awaiting judgement day
Standing in an endless line
In a vast array
She carried water strange
She carried water pure

Hawk and Crow
by clash bowley
Copyright 2023
One fine morning
A hawk circled low
Over the frosted fields
Closely watched by a crow
She has seen a movement
A twitch of her tail
Down and down she'd plummet
The mouse she hit like a flail
The hawk she ate her fill
blood spattered on the grass
The rising sunlight glistened
on the frost like glass
Then away she thundered
With a screech of glee
To her nearby nest
To feed her hatchlings three
The crow he landed
on the spattered ground
his head he tilted
The offal made no sound
The springtime sun it warmed the frost
melting as he ate
Swallowing the offal down
As was his mandate

This Ain't What Love's Supposed To Be
by clash bowley
Copyright 2023
You know what they say
Two wrongs don't make a right
But two rights can both be wrong
I been there and I know
That's just reason for a fight
And that fight can be life long
I'm tired of fighting
I can't take the pain
Not if it means
That I hurt you once again
This ain't what love's supposed to be
This ain't what love's supposed to do
This thing's not only hurting me
'Cause I'm damn well sure that I'm hurting you
There is a fire
That burns inside a heart
And it burns from inside out
I'm just a shell, now
Not much left out from the start
All the rest is all burned out
I'm tired of fighting
I can't take the pain
Not if it means
That I hurt you once again
This ain't what love's supposed to be
This ain't what love's supposed to do
This thing's not only hurting me
'Cause I'm damn well sure that I'm hurting you
This ain't what love's supposed to be
This ain't what love's supposed to do
This thing's not only hurting me
'Cause I'm damn well sure that I'm hurting you
