I wrote this in 1982! And I always heard electric guitar on this in my head but only got one last week… (see! You are never too old!) It’s a mystical song and quite prophetic because I didn’t have a daughter at the time… She wasn’t born until a few years later… I would love to see a video of this song and produce it fully… someday!
Would you PLEASE do me a favor? Share this song with somebody. It’s been sitting in my mind for almost 30 years. Help me get it OUT! thanx!

Lyrics:
Entropy | Song # 59 | May-June 1982
Off on some empty desert
Stretch of Paradise
The wind in the gravel
Burdened me with this advice
“Catch yourself in falling Time
Then laugh and leave it all behind
The Universe is meaningless
Until you touch it with your Mind”
I remember wondering
And I still wonder to this day
What that dirt road statement
Really had at heart to say
Meanwhile the streets wait for a prophet
And the buildings wait for a saint
Some back alley poet
Makes his statement in spray paint
Refrain:
As we continue to move towards Entropy
The Shape of who we are
Changes radically
The only chance we have left is to pray endlessly
Or carry out some close Facsimile
“Beware of me! beware of me”
Sings the serpent in our dreams
We laugh out in the daylight
Till the dark starts leaking through the seams
Then we turn our eyes to science
Put our faith in “thinking Man”
We try to break alliance
With a god that we cannot command
Refrain:
Cacophony of honking horns
Agony of aching feet
Apocalypse at 5:00 PM
I try to keep my fear discreet
Look at me, look at yourselves
Look at everything we are
Then hold my daughter in your arms
And tell me what her chances are…
Refrain:
