Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Wow!

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm

God God, can you believe that the drunken fool who wrote these sappy lyrics was a cultural idol who had movies made about him?

We must be nuts.

Riders on The Storm

Vital Land, home of the proud, motel room of the brave....

Vital land, home of home of the indigent and the afraid....

Vital land, we are riders on the storm, we are witnesses to history, without a study guide.

Vital land, riders on the storm.

We read of cataclysms uncomprehended, Gulf Streams collapsed and yet no clue of consequence.

Riders on the Storm.

Re-insurance rages, under strict censure, so the general public has no clue.

Riders on the Storm.

Defense Futurists rage, bringing on the brigades... Yet the general public has no clue.

Riders on the Storm.

Malthus was wrong, Malted Barley rules on. Rachel Carson was wrong. Raptors rule on. Paul Erlich was wrong. Trade rules on....

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm

But which one? The one that destroys the Hague? The one that destroys London? The one that destroys Bangladesh? The one that destroys N'Orleans?

Riders on the storm.

To this place, we belong,

let us sing this song,

this place we call our home,

is thinner that a thong.

How can we get along,

disregarding life through a bong....

There Are Delicacies
~Earle Birney(1971)

there are delicacies in you
like the hearts of watches
there are wheels that turn
on the tips of rubies
& tiny intricate locks

i need your help
to contrive keys
there is so little time
even for the finest
of watches
