    Hi AMZAMZ & F Spider,
    Thanks for moving my "pieces of work" to an appropriate venue. And I love the "homework" pic. It is classic!

    Journey to the Troubadour

    No lights on the horizon, hot desert air
    Crossing this land, without a care
    We exit the highway, just north of nowhere
    To the right is eternity, to the left is despair

    The journey’s been long, and much to our dismay
    We’ve been working for years, for so little pay
    Our lives are empty, like the words in this song
    We're just trying to survive, as we move along

    The lady was tall, with long black hair
    Her face was grey, from the smoke in the air
    Her mynah bird sat screeching, strange words in the night
    “White spots on my wings, yellow wattle for hair”
    “What will happen to me, when I fly through the air?”
    She said this was common, to hear such a rage
    She said the bird was blind and couldn’t fly anyway
    We paid for our gas, and were on our way
    300 miles to go, and we’d be in LA

    The journey’s been long, and much to our dismay
    We’ve been working for years, for so little pay
    Our lives are empty, like the words in this song
    We're just trying to survive, as we move along

    We sped down the highway, found a place to stay
    The owner smelled of whisky and showed us the way
    The casitas were dusty, the linens were bare
    He said not to worry, the maid would be there
    An old lady came and cleaned up the room
    We asked for clean sheets and she said, “It’s too soon,
    Besides, they’re only changed in every other room”
    She said she had friends and we could party all night
    We told her, “No thanks” we’d be all right

    The journey’s been long, and much to our dismay
    We’ve been working for years, for so little pay
    Our lives are empty, like the words in this song
    We're just trying to survive, as we move along

    After sleeping for a three hours, we got back on the road
    Avoiding the desert heat, that we’d come to know
    The bright lights of LA appeared through the haze
    This time we knew, we were on our way
    Doug had made us an offer, so we decided to go
    The long trip would be worth it, or so we were told
    The West Hollywood traffic was moving along well,
    The bright lights on Santa Monica Blvd, casting their spell
    We pulled up to where many had been before, we were finally at the Troubadour
    Doug greeted us at the door and said with a smile, “Come on in, and play for a while”

    The journey’s been long, and with all certainty
    We know we took the right turn to eternity

    I walk down halls of darkness
    In a world of empty lives

    I walk down paths of helplessness
    In a world of endless lies

    I talk to those who do not listen
    In a world they try to reign

    I talk to those who are forgotten
    In a world they cannot change

    I’ll collect souls for cleansing
    In a world of deep despair
    I’ll collect souls for mending
    In a world of endless dare

    I see evil thriving
    In a world lost in tears

    I see justice dying
    In a world locked in fear

    I hear sinful laughter
    In a world of dreadful fools

    I hear unanswered prayers
    In a world of rancid gruel

    I’ll collect souls for cleansing
    In a world of deep despair
    I’ll collect souls for mending
    In a world of endless dare

    I know not when it will end
    It’s too hard to tell

    I know not how it will end
    It’s a living Hell
