Abandon

I can stand after a year and fall after a day
If a man calls me a coward, boy, I’ll kick his teeth in in my mind
I’m soaked in mud my vision’s dim
I can’t get clean I can’t dry out
If worry was a ladder I’d be home safe with you
I have drunk out in the noise and smoked in quiet rooms
Is the ringing in my ears the ever present voice of love
Get out of my head old man, I’ve growl enough on my own
Our desperation isn’t beautiful but here it is so let’s say it is
Click-clack my pet there is another way
as she does the dishes
These interstitial moments between building home and building bridge

Unannounced
02:42
|

O you battled stay good natured
Crush your bad ones you’re still good, still good
And you push on the wheel for the sake of the work
On the chance you’ll arrive unannounced
O climb on top so good looking
Too bad nothing is what you’re pushing
You know down there nothing’s down there, how could there be?
You know down there, there’s no truth down there
But you hope we won’t know if it goes unannounced
Give it up, baby, throw it back
Make a fuss, baby, break a sweat

Pony

Indeed I come and do I say I come I
Into the home
And in the ringing bells I widen, you sweeten
I know your wind
“Oh just a breath” you say you “to calm your fear”
Bring back the child I lost I wrinkled up my brow
O the grown man O the down-home
O the pony in the stable stays
So solid we say it is but not so
I called it, I called to you across the cosmos, a city exhausted
O the grown man O the down-home
O the pony in the stable stays
O through the clouded window and in the darkened mirror see
To go too far To burn the sheets To feel no faith - AhhAhh
To close the door and wash the sheets To tell the whole truth - AhhAhh
O the pony O the down-home
O the grown man in the stable stays

Wicked Crush

I feel ready what fine timing
Sit or standing, Was or wasn’t
O my my just my size
Would my woman fit my mind
Wreaths and records, King of Feast
In her parlor in her scissors
Ah te amo! Stomp that kick
Voila Dynamo
Son of heart Beast of own Man of war Girl next door
Cattle prod Cymbal crash Thumb of god Wicked crush
Sugar sea Waking waters
Glory be Fate has shot us
Out her mouth In a nest
With a secret in her vest

Modern Skin

|

Fare thee well, modern kin, I don’t push the modern skin
When it breaks out in the cold come back for more
Lets not talk or theorize, I can show I can surprise
Pull the curtain back ta-da, here is that bang

40 Winks

Saw enough to chatter all the teeth in my mouth
Shook enough to shatter all the glass in the house
Lying down til I can stand up
I sought out the bottom til I lost my light til my skin turned white
Come as near to a kind of peace as I can short of the bomb
It’s up to the cracking point we’re up to the point of cracking
I got rolled by all institutions money, god, mwamerica
Think it out dungeon priest work it out work the beast
It’s up to the cracking point we’re up to the point of cracking

Groundwire

Could I sleep at night, no longer in my sweat
If I take the stronger will and bring out what I hid
o, o, o
They cut off my coat, she sewed it up again
What a signal to send up to remind me what I’ve been
o, o, o
Help me to remember if I in fear recant
How we charged a hundred hills with nothing but our hands, nothing in our hands
The grave or a cave?
Could I be waking still?
Out in the sun my love everything is changed

Big fakes big fakers fat babies, alright
We’ll be ok when you’re gone
Halos big trophies death rattles, alright
We’ll be ok when you’re gone
Ooh, let’s just shake it off
Ooh, let’s just shake it off
I cut out, French exit. This coat’s too tight
We’ll be ok when you’re gone
Mei shi, Mei guan xi, No one’s in love with you
We’ll be ok when you’re gone
Ooh, let’s just shake it off
Ooh, let’s just shake it off
Voici barnburner! Too many barns, alright
Bad faith bad blood Hot Future, alright

Big Enough To Cook
03:33
|
|||
Sugar comes to those with their toes in the water
With hands on their thighs, with their axe at the root
Come on suckers, give me something good
--Nothing big enough to cook
Strong now, man, step out on the ledge
Your mama ain’t here to treat you like you’re sick
Is it more, wouldn’t more, maybe more will suffice
--O, nothing doing.
In the pot, on the stove, in the fire, under the knife
On the hook, off the hook, am I, my wife?
When I’m alone my mind is a vice
--Nothing cooking, til the morning

Sooner Or Later
03:13

Sooner or later ice will form around you
Sooner or later policies will come through
You’re gonna fly too
You’re gonna die too
Sooner or later we’ll be a hard rock
Sooner or later it’ll be bedtime
Bedtime
I did a new portrait of the extremist
with the look in his eyes
Tip of the icing
Swallowing, coughing out on the frontier
Sooner or later tenderness is a sick broom
Sooner or later there is very little change
Maybe we’ll find truth
Maybe it’s all true
I’m in a trance old friend,
Feeling a feeling and watching it go by
Sitting in silence
Thinking of an inside joke while the nurse shuffles by

And don’t be such an old man don’t be so depressing this is how things are now
All plastic totally digital all virtual “ooh, the cool water is all around you”
I could not I could not I could not I could not
Til we’re living alone again are we living alone again
Could I be satisfied with cold imaginings
Was it crime was it your modern pride
If you take a picture I’ll show you my better side
“ooh the cool water is all around you”
I could not I could not I could not I could not
Til we’re living alone again are we living alone again
Could I be satisfied with cold imaginings
I could not I’ve no idea I could pretend but I could not

What Did You Eat

Fall asleep, kid
Fall asleep, what did you eat?
When I try to fall asleep I feel it pushing me again It’s watching me again
