{Verse}
What's the name of this train?
She said, "The Phoebe Snow"
At a ghost town station
South of Buffalo
The stops are Eerie, Lackawanna, and Ontario
It even goes through the well wrote Poconos.
{Chorus}
Isn't that Niagara Falls?
I've got my barrel just no balls.
{Bridge}
Jackson Pollack's shaving cream
Lysergic acid paper dreams
Alan Ginsberg's corpse jerks nude
I sure could go for some real food.
Isn't that Niagara Falls?
I've got my barrel just no balls.
{Verse 2}
A Yemenize village air-raid
She said, "It serves them right
Those fucking towel heads shouldn't
Look so busy late at night."
Alah, Krishna, Jesus, and the mighty greek Zeus
all took turns tying Adam's slip noose
Isn't that Niagara Falls?
I've got my barrel just no balls.
William Burrough's blackest pistol
Shakespeare's swallowed sugar whistle
Larry Rivers Kareoke lip syncs,
"Someone should fucking murder N'Sync."
Isn't that Niagara Falls?
I've got my barrel just no balls.

Awesome.
I listened and it's amazing. I absolutely love it. I think I will definately be supporting you guys from now on. The writing is amazing, I loved it. Great work. -
Thanks. I believe in supporting my fellow artists, and I want to buy the CD. My birthday is coming up soon. Maybe I will get somebody else to buy me the CD (evil grin).

Someone should fucking murder N'Sync... I about peed my pants I laughed so hard when I read that! Great line!
I loved all the names of the places in this because I used to live in that neck of the woods.
I thought the same thing Barbie did. Niagara Falls is a popular place to commit suicide. I have to go listen to it now.
I have dowenloaded John Denver's Hanglider, and I totally LOVE it. Thank you so much for sharing these songs with us.

Fabulously written
Great job! I like the flow, it has a very pleasant sound and I hope to hear soon as a CD or as a upcoming song on the radio... -
I've got my barrell just no balls. How this stands out to me. Am I crazy to love this? I don't even get it totally, but I still love it.
-
Definitely sounds like suicide. Barbie. Xx
-
I just might do that. Barbie. Xx
-
Did you listen to it? the song "the phoebe snow"?
if not, you should, go to gangbox.com and look it up under mp3's. -
I got a kind of suicide feel from this. The lines:
'Isn't that Niagara Falls?
I've got my barrel just no balls.' just made me think of the times I thought about committing suicide then realised I was too scared. I'm sure it's about death, anyhow. Death or life. A train journey through life? Well, something like that anyway. This is another good piece and I'm not surprised it got to number one with lyrics like that. Barbie. Xx -
I am also a song writer.. I love the flow to this. I might have to stop back by here. Maybe you will be kind enough to let me use some of your lyrics for my upcoming CD
. Keep dreaming in ink.

Great rhymes her, greater lyrics. Glad you mentioned Pheobe Snow, she's one of my legends. You are "The Poetry Man", ooooo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooooo yeah... Thanks for sharing these lyrics with us all.

I have to agree becpuh and summer swan. That was the stanza that stood out the most for me. I love the line:
Lysergic acid paper dreams
It just sounds good rolling off the tongue. Not to sure about how the chorus come to play in this. I like the line. I just did not see how it fit into the song logically.
Kiss the aussies and make them cry.
-
I agree with SUmmerSwan, My favourite Stanza is also:
"Jackson Pollack's shaving cream
Lysergic acid paper dreams
Alan Ginsberg's corpse jerks nude
I sure could go for some real food.
Isn't that Niagara Falls?
I've got my barrel just no balls"
It flows so well and you can hear how it would sound sung in a song.
Nice write!

i thought this was tremendously interesting and i hope it DOES bring you success. or .. DID ... already? in any case, i loved the hodge-podge melding of all these pop-culture influences/icons. it's interesting to note how one society (and all its subcultures, i guess) can give birth to such a vast array of ideals, morals, interests, standards, etc.
this was just... very interesting. i dug the diction. -
Wow, this is incredible...I absolutly love it. It's so original and your weaving of people places and images flows so well. I love the stanza
"Jackson Pollack's shaving cream
Lysergic acid paper dreams
Alan Ginsberg's corpse jerks nude
I sure could go for some real food.
Isn't that Niagara Falls?
I've got my barrel just no balls"
The first to lines of that stanza are particularly amazing. I love the abstraction...Keep up the excellent work! -
very nice write. good flowing and rythmatic. Keep up the good work
-
Cool. I like the references. One would be hard pressed to find Alan Ginsburg and N*SYNC in the same place, but it all flows together in a kaleidoscope of what we learn by choice and interest and what is shoved down our throats by repetition.
I'm not sure if the rhyme scheme breaks down intentionally or if there was just difficulty pulling it all together. The first verse definitely has the tightest rhymes, after that they become looser, giving way to content rather than form. It's effective though, and I'm extremely guilty of reading too far into poetry. Meh, my weakness.
Good stuff here. Yeah, Aussies!
(BTW awesome title)
