Five strings and nine lives How did he live this long The image casts a long shadow Always looking foreword The vampire of rock When your voice breaks You got the pink slip Got the boot The bell rings it's so unfair After the world war Hear a siren seeking shelter Pent up oppression Sarah Vaughn and all the music Did ya hear that blue note At the top of the stairs Was that the radio or you Sleep where you fall It came from Chicago It's what you add to the silence By instinct On the greyhound bus

Singing The Good Song I've climbed my ladders and bowed to the clouds chased away tomorrow played my music loud I've watched my lessons as they've come and gone I'm walking on two legs and singing the good song singing the good song playing it so sweet singing the good song that and the blue sky is all that I need we can be together and hold on strong singing the good song I've been in limbo and found my way out been lost and I've been found found a brand new route I've danced to your laughter and you've made me strong we're sharing love and peace and singing the good song chorus sweet harmony, sweet harmony I love this you and me, you and me chorus

Been standing in my shade watching the heat come to town new kid on the block He's all the whole town is talking about They say he ran from trouble he ran from love rumor says he ran from the girl and all that he done don't need no ticket when your daddy pays to fix your ride so much for kids so much for life Been holding up my end rolling out the truth in time new kid knows his lies he'll ease on into another sweet ride chorus what's to regret.. what's to forget better to bet on whether or not he'll ever make him a life...make him a life.. chorus

I won't sit down. And I will not shut up You don't own me or my soul I won't take your shit the way you want it Enough is enough. You and I are at war We shall win. You shall lose We shall win. Your Evil will die with you Don't tell me what to feel Don't tell me what to think Don't you tell me what to do Don't judge me by my skin color Don't you think Don't you care Don't be negative Don't be positive Don't run with them scissors Don't say that Now don't you do that And don't you do this

The Bell 04:03

Ain’t the truth a ladder - till you think it’ll hold you And ain’t the world such a big place till you need to hide I’d tell you it will get easy but you’d know that’s a lie Some secrets don’t get delivered Some secrets ain’t really secrets long Sometimes the right of way goes to the strong And who knows if that’s wrong You had your feeling that this world was made to unwind You knew it’d go in time You saw it a coming way back before you could tell You knew you’d hear the bell Ain’t your life a good one till you see it leaving out And ain’t the right ones always the ones treat you wrong I’d say you will find justice but somehow you know it’s gone Some secrets don’t get delivered Some secrets ain’t really secrets long Sometimes the right of way goes to the strong And who knows if that’s wrong You had your feeling that this world was made to unwind You knew it’d go in time You saw it a coming way back before you could tell You knew you’d hear the bell It will ring in the distance… it will ring in the sky It will ring in the darkness.. in the very cold of the night You’ll dance and laugh and know … somehow it's no secret now You had your feeling that this world was made to unwind You knew it’d go in time You saw it a coming way back before you could tell You knew you’d hear the bell

Mark Vee Chicago, Illinois

My dad repaired Black and white televisions and occasionally had amplifiers that had 6L6 power tubes. These turned into my first gigging amp.
