Bad Bullets
A life of beats and bullets
Them dry old bones rattle by
All held together in a grey suit
On down the road and right out of time
With Neal, Jack and Allen
And only freedom to fear
All shooting from the hip
Down in Tangier
With his cane and his hat
And his awkward spider gait
His slow insect drawl
Precise and deliberate
The years ghost by
In an old man's frame
Invisible to his neighbours
He passed in shades of grey

The Invisible Man
The Invisible Man
His cruel thin lips on a cigarette
The smoke-screen hides his eyes
He has no time for religious son of a bitches
Or for rules of any kind
Still the ghost of William Tell lingers
Over a trail of bullets in the half-light
They always lead back to the same place
And bring the same old demons tonight
But the guilt and fear can be re-worked
And shaped into something else
It becomes a new way of life
And his one and only sense of self
Invisible in the neighbourhood
He passes in phantom grey
No one can really see him
He can disappear behind the rain
