I was sitting in traffic when I noticed a cloud of thick black smoke wafting over the road. It smelled like someone was burning a tire. My eyes and throat started stinging but I was stuck in a car in rush hour traffic with no where to go. So I did the only thing I could think to do at the time which was roll up the windows, try not to breathe and write a song about all the things I would say to that person if I could.
lyrics
Tire Fire
---------------------------------------
Black smoke.
It's scratching at my throat.
Black smoke
I taste it when I choke on your
Black smoke
It's burning in my eyes. It's carving up my insides.
I see it in the air. It seems that you don't care.
But I'm talking to you 'cause I want you to think about what you're doing.
I'm talking to you 'cause I'm sick of the poison that you're spewing.
We all share the air we breathe. Think about your family.
'Cause we don't need no more black smoke.
Black smoke.
It's coming out your tail pipe
Black smoke
and I know you know it ain't right
Black smoke
It's coming from the factory. Offending my olfactory.
It smells like hell on earth. Don't you know what life is worth?
I'm talking to you 'cause I want you to think about how you're acting.
I'm talking to you 'cause there's other people you're impacting.
Take some responsibility and have a little sympathy.
'Cause we don't want no more black smoke
Black smoke
You think this is a joke?
Black smoke
No matter how you vote you get
Black smoke
It's clouding up my vision. You made the wrong decision.
It's filling up my lungs. The damage has been done.
But I'm talking to you 'cause it's not to late to change our direction.
I'm talking to you while I still have a voice to raise my objection.
We've got to stop burning all those tires and start putting out the fires
'cause we can't take no more
Yeah I'm talking to you but it feels like I'm getting no reaction.
I'm talking to you but it might be time for some direct action.
We've got to make the polluters pay if we want to see a brighter day.
It's time to take a stand.
The future's in our hands.
Stop buying what they sell.
Don't believe the lies they tell.
It's just a bunch of black smoke.

I was camping at Panther Meadows on Mt. Shasta and awoke from a very strange dream in which my good friend was laughing while he set himself on fire. I was sitting in the meadow looking at the stream and river beds and thinking about that strange dream when I wrote this song.
lyrics
This Dream (of Consciousness)
------------------------------------------------------------
This dream runs deep and wide traversing diverse landscapes of timeless mind
Nourishing roots, springing shoots, bringing forth life force from the sand sublime.
Carving out cracks in the moon-lit meadows. Tracing out shapes not seen in the ghettos.
Keeping that water running clean gotta get us a jug with a cap and fill it up while they let us.
This dream of consciousness is taking me away
This dream of consciousness gets me through the day
The blood of the earth runs red in this dry riverbed making the most of deathless excrement.
Settling sediment is evident. Self-immolation imminent. Solo cremation: main event. Heaven-sent.
Gasoline streams between my eyebrows. Seeks the path least resistant straight down.
Pooling up in puddles at my feet, highly combustible. Mixing with the mud in the street, swirling and colorful.
This dream of consciousness is keeping me awake
This dream of consciousness.
Destiny awaits...
Light a spark. Feel the heat. Test of will. Make a speech.
Shut my mouth. Close your eyes. Be the change. Eulogize.
Flames rise quick and pain changes perspective.
Life lessons reflect a new directive
Wait! Put me out! I changed my mind, savor life.
Pain and strife don't circumscribe the full scope of activism.
Find a crack in the stack of megalithic boulders and shoulder the burden of a life worth living.
This dream of consciousness is wandering aimlessly
This dream of consciousness is washing me out to sea
Oh this dream
