Sleep - Dopesmoker
 

 
Drop out of life with bong in hand 
Follow the smoke toward the riff-filled land
Drop out of life with bong in hand 
Follow-the-smoke-Jerusalem
 
Caravan migrates through deep sandscape
Lungsmen unearth the creed of Hasheeshian
Procession of the Weed-Priests to cross the sands
Desert Legion Smoke-Covenant is complete
Herb bails retied on to backs of beasts
 
Best hour+ song in existence.

Sweet Side Lyrics

Artist: Lucinda Williams (Buy Lucinda Williams CDs)
Album: World Without Tears


Send "Sweet Side" Ringtone to your Cell
You run yourself ragged tryin' to be strong
You feel bad when you done nothin' wrong

Love got all confused with anger and pride
So much abuse on such a little child

Someone you trusted told you to shut up
Now there's a pain in your gut that you can't get rid of

No one heard your screams when you were nine
When bad dreams filled your summertime

So you don't always show your sweet side ...

You're tough as steel and you keep your chin up
You don't ever feel like you're good enough

You've had the blues ever since you were six
Your little tennis shoes and your pick-up sticks

You were screamed at and kicked over and over
Now you always feel sick and you can't keep a lover

Every Christmas there were presents to unwrap
But the things you witnessed when you were five and a half

So you don't always show your sweet side ...

Someone deserted you, the damage is done
Now you don't deserve to be loved by no one

Hands that would feed you when you were two
Were the same hands that beat you black and blue

You get defensive at every turn
You're overly sensitive and overly concerned

Few precious memories no lullabies
Hollowed out centuries of lies

So you don't always show your sweet side ...

I've seen you in the kitchen cookin' me supper
I listened to you bitchin' I watched you suffer

I still love you baby 'cause I know you
Don't mean to do the cruel things you do

I've seen you sewin' buttons on your shirt
I've seen you throwin' up when your stomach hurt

I'll stick by you baby through thick and thin
No matter what kind of shape you're in

'Cause I've seen your sweet side ...
 
Dedicated to my 10 year older brother
Roy, a Country Western fan, who I shall confront tomorrow for having sexually assaulted me in my own bed when I was only 9 years of age .
 
I seek only a sincere apology for the 10 minute assault a half century ago and the promise to cease and desist with the verbal assaults bringing (hopefully) clousure to the haunting event and its manifold reprocussions in my life, through my being able to then more fully forgive him .
 
May God forgive him as I AM , for I Am feeling more at peace already .
 
Peace~
