Can’t get no satisfaction
Not locking in on anything
Adrift on the wind caprice
Fourth line slips; like a greased pig
I started to change myself talk
Gaining new strength with every word
This is truly who I am today
I don’t need another cure
Versifying verifies our voice
The voice that holds us up high
As long as we write down our words
They’ll define who we are and we’ll not die

What do you have for me?
More layers of quilt to address?
Let me say goodbye to this old year;
After these sins I confess.
Looking forward to a blank new sheet
Gives me hope for a great new year
Let me turn the page of yesterday
With a mind that’s totally clear
Thinking you can weigh me down
Bringing up past sins suits you fine
Nothing you can do will make me
Sit down hurt, wail and pine
So go your way straight to hell
There’s nothing for you here
My conscious is clean and ready
To start a great New Year

It’s the peace and satisfaction after lovemaking
On the drive home you realize the day fell into the groove
The lack of elasticity after a long run
Or that sense of completion and calm after the bowels move
