    If you've come this far, you're the type of fan who likes to hold the music in your hands! A rare breed these days, and I congratulate you for it. Most people don't realize that downloadable or streaming files have only 25% of the audio quality that a CD has. The album is best played as a CD (and listened to in its entirety!) because the final master employs the fine art of segueing, which is lost in the downloading and streaming realms. By purchasing a CD, you are letting the world you know that you still appreciate ALBUMS and the artists who still make them for what they are! Keep the faith!

lyrics

I said Help me Doc I got songwriters’ block I just can’t find my inspiration
He said That ain’t no block you just ran out of stock what you need dude is a long vacation
I was in the east my heart was in the west and when asked why resist assimilation
I left my heart back in Asbury Park that was the explanation
In junior high I would lift my eyes to from where will come my salvation
In the army I swore I’d head straight for the shore when my three years reached their cessation
The beacon that shined its light into a mind blackened by social darkness and isolation
With the promise that someday after the bull gets blown away I’d undertake massive relocation

Chip on my shoulder since I was a soldier
Drive your friends crazy don’t get lazy
Underground homesick grab yourself a broomstick
This ain’t no statement just block abatement

Tramping around through the streets of this town under an onslaught of precipitation
The mist was so thick I knew I’d be sick without some spiritual medication
I staggered my way to nuevo dolce cafe and sat down to the taste of innovation
Then the evening sky cleared so I regrouped and steered my sights to nocturnal invasion
Saw her sitting on the boardwalk rails with her usual gang of friend females
in sweatshirt jeans and flirtation
Flashed her my jazz and blues and snakeskin shoes and then she was mine for the duration
She took my arm she felt so warm she was soft intoxication
I didn’t inquire she was lover for hire but she didn’t fit the characterization

What am I trying to say here this ain’t no cliché here
You wanna be a beatnik you gotta be a streetnik
Check the rhyme and meter you ain’t gonna beat her
Blinded by the light Bruce no use call a truce

But you know it’s all right
Yeah you know it's all right
But you know it's all right
It's all right if it's all night

Well maybe the agencies declared a hiring freeze
But I’m not looking for a job or a vocation
This is the time I’ll seize just to follow the breeze
Blowin’ through town on revisitation
I’ve come here to spurn the life of Sit And Learn
And I don’t want no redemption or salvation
No matter which way I turn my bridges seem to burn
So I’m just here in life to find my station
From the seaside bar joints to the land’s end points
Pick choose and shoot for my destination
I’ve come to anoint the long-awaited counterpoint
To these trends of cynicism and stagnation
127 miles of as many different styles
The possibilities of limitless exploration
No more self-denial or tribulations and trials
I won’t accept any statute of limitation

Playing my wordgames so what if it all sounds the same
None of this crap rap beatin’ like a clap trap
Radio hum drum makes me go ho hum
Rock’n’roll tidy bowl no soul pigeonhole
Grab your attention keep it in suspension
It’s the great backlash against all the cheap trash
Mindless conformity mental deformity
If you ain’t receivin’ it don’t you believe in it
