~ Viva ... Lost Poets ~

Inspired by Shawn Colvin’s version of ‘Viva Las Vegas’.

~ Viva ... Lost Poets ~

He said...
My heart spillin’ words ... Like an open gash
Man in a suit ... Wanna turn some cash
Muse in a rage ... Gonna burn my a*s
Viva ... Lost Poets;

She said...
Fire in my brain ... And it’s burnin’ through
All kinds of meds ... But they won’t do
Left me in the rain ... All I needed was you
Viva ... Lost Poets;

She said...
Wakin’ up early ... Just to reach my goal
Friends ain’t friendly ... And it’s takin’ a toll
Fast-talkin’ man ... Just took my soul
Viva ... Lost Poets;

He said...
Wavin’ goodbye ... To a fading sun
Life is empty ... But not my gun
Will you hate my name ... If I come undone?
Viva ... Lost Poets;   Viva ... Lost Poets.

she is such a poet, shawn...and you too...really like this piece....knew shawn from my days working midnight shifts in a restaurant she and her band frequented in Carbondale---she is so human...so many issues as we all have...but what a talent.

really nice tribute to her, Misery.

Thank you, Jacob.
As always, your reviews offer more than kind words, they provide insight and a hint of a larger back-story...yet to be told.

This is so so good!
Mr/Ms Misery, this is fabulous and easily could stand as a song on its own.
