        1990
                         It's dark and dreary where I stand
                         The rain outside and inside obscures my view of the sun
                         I am lost but maybe not forever
                         I just want someone to take me by the hand and lead me home
                         The puzzle of my life which I pieced together yesterday
                         Has unraveled and in chucks falls apart as I write
                         I see my doppleganger weeping at long gray tables
                         I can't stand my own mind and the ravages it is committing
                         Life, people, books all bore me
                         The ground is grayer as the day progresses
                         Then in my drug-fogged mind I find minute peace
                         I remembered when I walked and picked the wildflowers
                         I remembered what the sun looked like
                         But now I repeatedly attend the burial of my dearest feelings
                         For if they surface I will crave them and be even more saddened
                         Bi-Polar: what is that but a psychic joke?
                         The roller coaster of my life
                         So what happened to the up part?
                         Prosaic, desyrel, respiraldal, depakote,
                         The drugs of choice, the artists of my mental fogs
                         I want the mania please get me up from here
                         Where I am untouchable Where I can do no wrong
                         Give me back the mania I can't go on any longer like this!
                         I want to cherish again
                         The closest I come is our bit of love
                         Your hand reaching out through the grayness
                         Breaking the day's loneliness and sorrow
                         Someone please tell me behind which door lies my salvation
                         Is it behind the door marked love
                         Or the one marked job
                         How about the door marked crafts or helpfulness or religion?
                         I am being devoured by this tragic non-existent assassin
                         Hurry Love Reach out again to me through this gray
                         For I feel myself rushing headlong
                         Toward my apocalypse toward my permanent doom
                         I have tried to mend my mind but
                         Alas I can't say the Lord's prayer - for I've forgotten it
                         I have dreadful visions and cosmic throbbings
                         That would frighten even you who knows me so well
                         I am being washed away by my own hand
                         Just ahead of me are the mystical cops of madness
                         Reach out again! Illuminate me!
                         Direct me back to your pastures of love and joy
                         For this shifting sandy world of mine
                         Will soon drown me without your strength.
