"you'll get the picture. you'll get the fear" I yawned.
"you'll get a picture. you'll get a fear" I yawned.
I still know a secret song
(like) hours coming home
time will hold you in its arms on and on
get the picture?
take out the winner take out the winter thaw
and all the armour lost
I still know a secret song
hours coming home
time will hold you in its arms on and on

The Way We Get Around It

im proud of the way we get around it
downtown and ways to burn a pocket
blind spot of day i went and dropped it out
i got the way we get around it
I SAW the place i never FOUND it
my heart erases when i rock it out
forgot the way we found and got it
i'm not around
blind spot of day i went and dropped it out
in a boys dream
dazes in the front seat
out with the paces i was seventeen
i caught amazing for a heartbeat now
downtown and ways to burn a pocket
high on the ground
lines hard and traces of a young face now
wipe down the stages of the market
im not erasing what the start did
i bought a stage and then i popped it out
forgot the way we found and got it
im not around
blind spot of day i went and dropped it out
downtown and ways to burn a pocket
high on the ground
lines up and traces of a young face now

Be Careful With Me
01:45

take no look
tear the mouth that's spreading around
what could tell me how how we're gonna wait for "eruption"?
down and out shouting out at whoever's showing up
sing "i'll be around" walking on my heels walking thru the crowd
cuz we all grow up picking nickels off the ground
and tell our waiting spouse "careful with me now"
to be lost and found, heads inside the sound/ground singing "careful with me now"
why turns into how
careful with me now

she eat alone
she ride thru
she stares at phones in classrooms
she guarantees police
her tumblr teeth chew soy meat
she got a bong to right on
she ride so long it's all gone
her credit shows she's no slow
it's in her tone she cried bone
feel wrong tired
shout her power away
be one surprised
mean songs hide
bout an hour away
he lost her mind

i sift for fries
for the bigger size
and on saturday i look for you
i'm a pink albino
and i drink with winos
and on saturday i'm drinking too
where the stage is warmer youre a good performer
but youre older and youre colder now
for the sleeping city i admit you're pretty
and your poster smile has set a dial
you're meek and dirty even tho you're thirty
and i'm leaning back to say goodbye
so don't fall in the river and i know you'll deliver
on the promise that you might stay dry
where the stage is warmer youre a good performer
but youre older and youre colder now
for the sleeping city i admit you're pretty
and your poster smile has set a dial
could i go back and be your lover?
or find you a friend
would i go back and discover wood in your head
pushing the unsaid oh...upon it
darkness it goes where you're home
alarm it
guess i'm feelin fine

Until They Smile

paid for two weeks
how i don't know why
galloping around where the knee high girls
take cold smokes past the ropes where the boys aren't allowed
do i go down? down until they smile
i don't walk away
I like it when you frown
it lets me hit the town
how's setting up in a lift truck
in the thick muck
hallmark maybes
on your birthday Friday morning
with no warning
and you're older than your Dad was when he had you
do i go down? down until they smile
i don't walk away
wide lighting like a sound
powering the miles
cycles fall away
why keep it up in town
if we could let the day take us all away?
bad manners in a crowd
give me up in style

you can be all if you want it
set a bar
you could feel all in the garden
swingin hard
in a teal night with a farmer from a song
and i realize it's a bomb it's from the wall
black street of your wasted dreams
brown teeth
yellow pee
man surrender
white sheets and the wander weeks
my feet follow me to forever
to feel all in an evening shine a star
will the leafs crawl to the ceiling
win the war?

When Baskets Collapse

whether you go to the dynamo
where the stars collapse into baskets
and relaxing is paramount to understanding
your place in this world like the face of the girl
who kissed you but don't miss you
cuz yr ahead of her and think yr better but you won't be coming up
sharp like a diamond if yr minding yr business and reminding yrself 'they won'
sigh out in the office of your heart
it couldn't be nice
to pick up the life that's gone away

i sing electric at night
got a rail thin design
i got hundreds minus hundreds in my song account
i get impatient in mind
im erasing goodbye
amazing surprises keep holes around
keep the phrasing at night
from a place in your mind
i'm appraising my life
i got no one around

i never have the time
line up to build a wall
I'm never back in line
clock faces in the hall
get around me wouldja? typical me is it?
i never have the time
get it on cheap couldja?
cut it by three minutes?
i never have the time
eyes staring at my shirt
streets splinter to the sprawl
born Christian learned to flirt
like ninth graders at the mall
