give me a body to enjoy
give me good friends to annoy
give me money to invest
give me medicine
take this look out of my face
put the joy in the sorrow's place
carry me back to the car
burn to death my electric guitar
everybody goes away
hometown don't feel the same
you walk on a straightened line
I'm watching time go by

skin: keep blood in
til she comes out again
hand: make little waves
through the pebbles and sand
on the school bus, word travels fast
teenagers set the bathroom on fire
Pat, you'll never know how much I wanted you
while you're doing time, I'll do mine

Frog Judy in the garden
counting clovers
I carry them in bunches
hold them up for cover
what happens when it's over?
feeling stupid...I don't get this body forever...
I'm singing in the basement, getting older
you said it wouldn't come back! but here it is again (and again and again...)
what happens when it's over?
feeling stupid...I can't live in dreams forever

Still Life

Pappou John wanted a still life to go on
so he jumped out the window
cannonballed into the pond
I know he's the swan
who ate all the breadcrumbs
we threw on the lawn
came out of nowhere, then he was gone
ugly room, yellow and quiet
safe behind its door
God takes what he can carry and runs out of the store
so there's no use in locking up
he knows how to get in (it isn't that hard)
came out of nowhere, then he was gone

Healing

Johnny hit the dog (by accident) with a golf club
I wanna take him for a walk
but he's still in bed
licking the red
Mom gave me good advice, but it's hard to keep alive
"everybody gets fucked sometimes"
everybody gets fucked sometimes
you ask me if I'm hurting myself again
it was an accident! it just happened
Saturday morning, I burned my wrist on the toaster oven
carried it all week, watching me healing

Unliving

falling asleep is dying
that dream
was practice
in unliving
saying your name
is weird today
memories I'm killing
come back to me
black water gushing

Bethlehem
06:39
|
|
||
|
rising over Bethlehem
little star made of lightbulbs
everybody's gone to bed
for the morning's celebration
let me in the bathroom
I'll clean your cuts
no one will notice
we can make it like before
I'll sweep the floor
take a shower
every day is Christmas Eve
when you're around
I've already given
everything on your list

Take a Little Time
02:10
|
|
||
|
take a little time
then, I don't know
you may find a part of you
that won't leave this behind
I could go away
(even if just for a few days)
if it means you'll be missing me
'cause the hardest part of loving you
is I don't know what to believe
so if you wanna take some time
for a long time, what's that mean?
