Soul Man's Blues

early wind and budding trees
mind ran off into the alley
thought i saw a morning dove
seems like the devil's been keeping tally.

embark on your lonely path
i wish i could go with you too
words unspoken worthless now
you always knew i loved you.

he was a soul man, the best man i knew
i can remember his words, the soul man's blues.

he was a soul man, all the crowds that he drew
he would just sing out loud, the soul man's blues.

(aharp)hheeeewaaaaassssaaaassoooouuuullmaaaaann. honk. honk.

got wet bones you know what i mean
cold rain all day long, never saw the light
ladies ran off to the shops and boutiques
left me alone until the middle of the night.

We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
