I've been picking up the corners with the rest of the ritz
surfin with poseidon on his hellenic tits
you can open wide for the cherry inside of
my hot rod heart enclosure that I built from a kit
almond in yr glasses betel nut in yr jaw
uncle of the image and the lariat law
you can grovel now or later on down
no one will believe you when you say what you saw
I don't give a fuck about a radiant dream
I could build a thousand nightmares with my memory clean
maybe there's a millionaire to shovel the coal
Prince is up in heaven singing "pussy control"
watch me as I kneel to the way it makes me feel
Burroughs laughed when asked "do you believe in the soul?"
Hell is other people there's no taking it back
a tingle in yr smile for a friendly attack
half the people I met I'm trying hard to forget
it is the secret to remember what the marker redacts
I don't give a fuck about a radiant dream
I could build a thousand nightmares with my memory clean
keep the music loud inside the place where it goes

Don't ask me how I feel about
Belly, Kelley Deal
Throwing Muses
Mellow Gold
Eleven, Husker Du, or
Temple of the Dog
Minutemen or Firehose?
Yes, I will take both of those
Rollins Band: Henry's the man
Screaming Trees oh please
I can
Bad Brains and Fugazi
and a transient philosophy
likely living for the lam with
trendy girls, Pearl Jam and
bending cigarettes out of yr
bathroom window
Penn, I wish we were fourteen
and you were curious
not mean
about the topic of the day
the music that our heroes made
"what if Eric Clapton
and Les Claypool had a band?"
that shit kept us awake til 4 a.m.

what are you doing now
tell me where you are and how you got there
all alone and soaking wet
flies in your face and a dragon on your nails
I can't believe you're not the worst it gets
and I'm pleading my case
to the silver spotted stars
my opening defense is I have to be where you are

My hair got curly when I met my wife
(there's something out of pocket that we're trying to get to)
today I hear the summer allegories and lies
(don't go running off because I'm liable to miss you)
it takes a lot of valentine's to waste yr life
(pick a window dressing, something hot and shiny)
Matt Damon really doesn't want to die
(it's things like that can make you feel it's gonna be fine)
I think we all can see some mighty trouble ahead
(there's a shit storm coming, get a rubber umbrella)
I got a suitcase for a whimper and a bang for a sigh
(we ain't saying who but he's a scary little fella)
nobody reads the papers papers all the papers said
(put yr hands up, I'm serious this time)
Matt Damon really doesn't want to die
(It's things like that can make you feel it's gonna be fine)
Lounging in the Hollywood hills or wherever he lives
keeping it cool and calm and playing with his kids
I liked Ben Affleck too before he fixed his teeth
you can bet no one like him
is gonna let a Russian missile
ruin whatever he does out there

there's a place in my heart where nothing grows
it's reserved for all yr messages
baby, let me follow you down
there's a place in my heart where no one goes
it looks like eastern oregon
baby, let me follow you down
there's a place in my heart for those I know
it's pulsing like a dance floor
baby, let me follow you down
there's a place in my heart that's getting cold
it's gonna be a hailstorm
everyone's a winner
with a candle in the dark
and a simple attribution
that can leak it to a lark
feels like a movie
that you think up when you're
brave / you never have to love
somebody when it's
decency you crave
lifting up your arms to see
the shadow of the panic
and the needles on the trees
making the suffering romantic
there's a dinner in the making
with a ruby on the road for all
the loot that's for the taking
when you've lightened up your load

You can hang it on the wall
or slide it in yr drawer
no one gets it at all
no one knows who it's for
The prime of life is 17 or
29 or 61
crouching in our robot suits
and you're learning how to run
what you know is something then
it all turns into gas again
wish I'd let the world spin
instead of trying to
hang it on the wall
so I look like I can see
the meaning of it all
monster the size of me
we plop into this world screaming
I don't think we feel afraid
'til we're know that we aren't dreaming
this big fucking mess we made
and we try to read the maps
but they blend into our laps
I would like to tell you where
we are
but I am
just a wind-up doll
I'm nothing like I was
I'm waiting for the fall to come
but it never does
let's shoot birds out of the sky
"I can't, I don't have a weapon"
I won't watch anything die
though I'm fine letting it happen
we're hypocrites, tag yr it
adults like to feel like shit
try and find someone who fits
instead of blurtin tell me tell me
why you never call
or visit me in jail
spectacularly tall,
particularly pale
I can't believe your face
is nowhere in the night
come on and let's retrace
ourselves and make it right

I've been so many people
it hurts my boiling brain
I got the gravy but
I'm missing the train
looking to settle down
but settle is consequence
I've got potential but
It isn't the rent
Comprehending everything I see
I know all your secrets
but it's dark and there's somewhere to be
oh no
oh yes
what's that?
I guess.
I smell
your breath
there's nothing
left
Eloquent charges missing
what the fuck do I mean
I'll pay you not to listen
parcel and preen
I've got a present
and it isn't the past again
I'll build a time machine
but I don't know when
Mispronouncing myrmecophaly
I can keep a secret
and you know that the secret's me
oh no
oh wait
you know
I hate
the smell
of winding up the carriage
love is the illegal marriage
falling feet first down the stairage
and I'm basically afraid
all the time
there's something to you

I'm surprised yr surprised
I'm upset yr upset
Warm in the storm
and yr never too wet
I divine you're divine
I regret you regret
Warm in the storm
and you got what you get
Play me like a deck of cards
in a house of cards
with a moonlit yard
yr so easy
and I'm so thin
I believe you believe
I pretend you pretend
Everyone's got a story
and yr where it ends

I think the line for the drinks was too long
so you headed back for the end of the song
I'll take this chance to bring you up to speed
so there was a child and a woman and man
and their audible plans for vacation gone bad
insufferable Dad the advice couldn't get a boat
far off the shore and some boring
demands and two pair idle hands and a coffin nailed shut and some
ifs and some buts coruscating as halos
on magazine smut and correctional lenses
and minuscule mensroom attendants gone weird and deranged
and later a strange moment in yr apartment where we
felt connected and sparkled and leaned in together
to kiss on the wire that would later reveal that the cause of electrical
fire between two is a barely excused and literally lost and seldom
defused aspect of common behavioral mugging and apish and slavish
and renegade thudding around but FOR NOW all the spurious
claims that were stuck on the family selfsame I can tell you that no one
can say what they think so perhaps you are better whatever you do
that can keep you from waiting in line for a watery drink
