Run Boy Run By Xam Eitsirhc Copy Right 2015 Atticus was out and in and in and out And walked with ball’d fists Looking for the bout No peace of mind and no solace Save what he could find In the glass hypodermic palace Atticus Caught this case While searchin’ for paradise The judge Wants him on ice For a common cultural coup d’état But he don’t wanna freeze And he don’t wanna thaw So fuck Johnny Law! Run boy run You's wanted With you’s they ain’t dun Livin’ on da lam And society be's damn’d While you’s scramble and flee Quickly for the bars will slam Run boy run … & lift dem knees It was an open door Just a little too long If only for a time Fresh air, freedom and the song He’s gotta pay for crime Cause crime paid him Now he’s outbound He’s outta here & he’s gone Long road travel’d With hookers and whores Hiding in the cracks underground Like dirt in floor boards Looking over shoulder So not to be found They want you back boy And they`s aint gonna give no slack boy They’re hunt you like a hound boy Theater in the round And they’re on your track boy A spoon feed night A carbon seacrest And jewelry snapped tight The stars fell … caught U.A.L. With a whisper and a tell Groundin’ his flight So run boy run Coz you`s wanted With you’s they ain’t dun Livin’ on da lam And society be`s damn’d While you’s scramble and flee Quickly for the bars will slam Run boy run … & lift dem knees XXXXX

Ice Cream Molly & Pool Hall Annie By Xam Eitsirhc Copy Right 2015 The man came with fold'd money And axe’d “Can he?” She said “I’m a lil busy … … so go's axe Annie” Annie felt slick so hell ya she took the trick Dye’s been cast & she’s in the mix Hell's bound & heaven sent A full night’s day Nefariously hidden in plain sight From eyes for light Hallow’d ground & heavy scent Johnny’s gots a bankroll Saved up a fortnight and a week Playing the tables of faro Ice Cream Molly s’gonna grant him a peek Put him over the barrel Help break his streak She mines the men With a mind to fend They’ll take more Tears on cheeks … And blood on the floor Annie … can ya change? Find another way to make ends meet? Swappin’ grief for relief Clean the stains Keep those sheets Ice Cream Molly was heard But only in a murmur “She was a damn good earner … … if only for a sheath” And Molly laid the wreath With a hundred boys to mourn her XXXXX

Le Serpent By Oscar Brown Jr. Revised by's Xam Eitsirhc On the way to work one morning Down along the lake A tender heart'd woman Found a poor half-frozen snake His pretty colored skin Had been all frosted with the dew "Poor thing" she cried, "I's take you in and I's take care of you." Take me in tender woman Take me in for heaven's sake Take me in tender woman Sighed the Snake She wrapp'd him up all cozy like In a comforter of silk And laid him by the fireside With some honey and some milk She hurried home from work that night And as soon as she arrived She found that prudy snake she'd taken in had been revived. Take me in tender woman Take me in for heaven's sake Take me in tender woman Sighed the Snake She clutched him to her bosom "You're so beautiful" she cried "But if I hadn't brought you in by now you'd surly died." Well she stroked his prudy skin again And kiss'd him really tight, Instead of saying thanx, the snake gave her a vicious bite. Take me in tender woman Take me in for heaven's sake Take me in tender woman Sighed the Snake "I saved you!" cried the woman "And you've bitten me but why?" "You know your bite is poisonous And now I's gonna die." "Shut the fuk up, silly woman!" Said that reptile with a grin. "You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in." Take me in tender woman Take me in for heaven's sake Take me in tender woman Sighed the Snake. XXXXX

12.	Which Way? 03:23	lyrics	buy track
Which Way? By Xam Eitsirhc Copy Right 2013 Endless trains, in endless rail yards with endless tracks. Hoping freight ... your whole life on your back! Scarred skin and visible trax ... so why the hell not goes back? Either ways ... you’re still living in the cracks. The sky’s still covered and overcast ... and the snow can’t cover ... the dead grass. Hours chime ... and supper bells rhyme ... with empty plates and no guests to dine ... on black roses and tattoo’d shwine. No sight of the morrow ... no golden sunlight ... racked on the grind ... with warm mouse and sorrow. Dead posies and no eyelashes. Selling from the car ... hangin’ with maids from the bar and performance artist stars. Not enough hiding places ... but got plenty of stashes. Football hooligan ... bashes, or digging in peoples trash is ... just a fancy’s follie. Either ways ... you just full of fool again. XXXXX

Xam Eitsirhc- "The Snake Oil Poet"

Xam Eitsirhc (phonetically pronounced as "SK-am" "ITE-sir-IK") was born in a 19th century prose-dello, from the loins of verse, amidst great paean & hence suckled straight from the teat of literal & figurative literary polyglots. Schooled upon the hard streets of balladry, Xam prepared for the poet's life to take him where she willed him, with a harmonica in one pocket & a plume in the other,. ... more
