Everything Works Out

A song I wrote

In a kicked down shack I know
Where the kids all go to smoke
And drink and talk
And laugh and carry on.....
Something's always lurking in the house,
Where everything works out.

She shows up after ten...
Pissed and stoned again,
She has it tough because
She's the Devil's daughter's friend....

...And Heaven's a long way down from here,
All she believes may suddenly re-appear.

Open up your eyes, and shut your mouth
And everything works out.


No ceiling there to reach,
No numbers, there's no street, in fact,
There are no walls, nor doors from which to leave....

Something lives among us in the house
Where everything works out.

Heated shadows melt away
And a light smashed down to play
Better games to cure the months of stormy pains

And deep down, dark, beneath the layers
A machine is tending to your prayers....
Open up your mind and shut your doubt.....
That everything works out.

....Everything somehow works out
And it works itself right back in again

Hear the temples from the south?

Pointing us to where our future begins?

There's something buzzing in the house
Where everything works out.

i liked this. i liked the way you kept repeating "everything works out", it helped to keep the song/poem tied together. the whole idea of the song is really good and creative.

The repetition of " everything works out" is having good tandem thorough out the poem.The poem depicts a imaginary or illusionary hope that all the problems in the house or say life will be solved somehow.Good one.

It flows well. I should like to hear the music to go with these lyrics. I particularly like the second verse. It reminds me of someone I once knew. Good stuff nonetheless, keep 'em coming!
