"babble" (Joe Woodard), from Headless Household, “Blur Joan,” 2005 (Household Ink Records)

www.householdink.com/headless.htm

Reworking of the song :"Vegetable Heaven," from the 2002 musical "Turnip Family Secrets," by Michael Smith and Joe Woodard. New lyric by Woodard.

lyrics

babble Joe Woodard

intangible babble
floats across the universe
vapors in the ether
language on the tongue
sweet and sour babble
leaves its slobber in the ear
asks not for forgiveness
senses little fear

why can’t I find this appetite
with hunger on the side?
I’m sweet, I’m young, I’m open
I long to be alive

Staying out of trouble
It’s no trouble for me now
It’s wading through the innocence
That causes my soul to frown


12-25-02 (to the tune of “Vegetable Heaven 1.0,” 1993)


copyright 2005, by Joe Woodard
