Birds (Tomorrow)
04:20
|

|
Six short years in calm town
Birds in the hand
Go broke for what they teach ya'
So learn what you can
You know I ain't no fool but I cling to
There being more to the low road
"Come in," they said, "Come on in,
The water is fine.
Release your tethered wishes
And I'll blow your mind."
But I admit that my thoughts
Get caught up in the Wolf Trap
Leave me a day for tomorrow
I'll be sure, come tomorrow
Our dreams are heavy
We stare politely
Overwhelmed by aging
And our words and whistles
Come streaming out
As we're changing our plans to match
Those of the ones we love
And they tell me
The two-by-twos are judging you
Considering one
Tradition's web be jealous
Of what you have spun
But I'll tell you the eyes you knew
Whether come to
Passing a beg for a borrow
Strain to see to tomorrow
Our dreams are heavy
We stare politely
Overwhelmed by aging
And our words and whistles
Come streaming out
As we're changing our plans to match
And we prefer to live and let live
We stick to stone backbones
To hold our wandering minds
Within our hands
Don't let the pricks at six
Get us in a fuss
Over color we don't see
We stick to stone backbones
To hold our wandering minds
In the palm of our hands

Dropping Eaves
04:38
|
|||
|
Wage a petty war
About whose oil to burn
Feed the need for more
Passing whistle for turn
But there's nothing to learn from down here where are
We ought to see beyond the hills of which
We have no knowledge
Keep hands off your money
And keeping crooks out of jail
It's the good life for you, honey
You pay to stay out of hell
But there's nothing to learn from down here
Where we are
We ought to see beyond the hills of which
We have no knowledge
What if we find we're not so alone?
Hidden chromosome living in my home
Dependent upon each other
Now blind to the differences we saw
Dropping eaves on every
Conversation you hear
You're going to need this for protection
From the things you should fear
But there's nothing to learn from down here
Where we are
We ought to see beyond the hills of which
We have no knowledge
What if we find a plausible home?
Habitable stone
You're crying over paper
That you left in the window
Such a damn shame.

Chivalry Is Dead
03:52
|
|||
|
“Chivalry is dead!”
Proclaimed the captain
So I’m going home
Home to me and myself
Nobody else now that chivalry is gone
To be alone
Hoping what we’re after is still out there swimming
In the places we’ll come to know
Reaping what we sow
And when I’m ringing your phone just know
It’s because I’m lonely for your touch
Climb on aboard, your train is leaving
Without or with you
Holding out ain’t gonna do
On whom should you impose a drink or two?
To be alone
Hoping what we’re after is still out there swimming
In the places we’ll come to know
Reaping what we sow
And when I’m ringing your phone just know
It’s because I’m lonely for your touch
Realize your worth, your time is fleeting
And they see right through you
Laid out right in front of you
The precautions you should take
But jump to run at promises they make
Still all alone
Hoping what we’re after is still out there swimming
In the places we’ll come to know
Reaping what we sow
Still I’m ringing your phone just know
It’s because I’m lonely for your touch

Loretta
03:14
|
|||
|
Cornered, back pinned
Held in place by nothing but a phrase
A line she cast to hook my collar
Claims she don’t have much time per usual
Jonesing for the moment
Holding out, reeling for a taste
Once again we find ourselves just grooving
To the same old moves we’re used to
Pleading go home Loretta
She’ll mince your words
Cut by your stature
She’s downright charming if you let her
She’ll take you in and spin you around
Acting like she never met you
She’ll spin you around
No reason to be alarmed now
Nothing here but formality
We both know how this story’s always ending
And it’s no surprise this time
Screaming go home Loretta
She’ll mince your words
Cut by your stature
She’s downright charming if you let her
She’ll take you in and spit you out
In the opposite direction
She’ll spit you out

Swimming

Simon’s ahead by a full step
He doesn’t know it
Can’t get to sleep for it’s his dreams
He’s been avoiding
Karma come quick, move so swift
Holding him hostage, but keeping him honest
Josie’s behind, on her own time
She’s in no hurry
Can’t kick it in, in a tailspin
Every morning
Drunkenly loud, always putting her foot
In the mouth of the moment
Hey come down from there
Asking why you’re swimming alone
In the nighttime
Somewhere along, Simon took ‘hold
His awareness
Jumped out of bed with the rules and the pledge
To scrap feelings
Cradled a thought, reaching out to have sought
Some true meaning
Josie awoke to what she had supposed
Was a nightmare
Settling in to somewhere that’d been familiar
Josie couldn’t speak, she couldn’t feel her feet
A light in her eyes as the doctors sympathize
And it makes you think
Of faces down at Brick Street
Reaching out behind a smile
Haven’t seen her in a while
Content just to be around
In the company of downtown
