lyrics

A row house
On a beach side mooring Your boat world
Neutral this morning

Seek the call
That’ll settle scores Unfolding papers
Stack them later

Fall down proper
Meet then stop her
He is willing
Oh so willing

Greet the matches
Strong yet passive
Deed the righteous
Mighty crisis

You laugh
You leave
You lapse
You lie
Montenegro solo silver

Watch the tears or tear in mirrors
You see the star to chase your fears
You ripen here and there is no
Mistaking all the overflow.

We go
Solow
The fade

And you can see her
You can smear
You can sweat you can walk
You can drive you can hide
You’re riding your bike and you smash on the ground
You taste the cement and blood in your mouth
You catch a glimpse of a corpse walker
Dragging his tired bones across the street
He’s always on the go by his lonesome
In a welt of wailing things that get them riding around
Be it from out of town
Be it the ones you expect
You need them now
And oh god they’re not laughing

It’s a life
You’re a wife
None say untrue
All of them waiting
Checked in and checked out
Not now -- not what she says, not what she means
But you know she’s always right
So talk to it. Learn to dance with it. Love it.
Forget it. Roll over and play dead.

Golden leaf
In the dawn
Dark night befall
The ancients sleep in casements

Softly whisper your thoughts
To me and say the words
That are meant to be

Time for folly
Souls grow weary
Architecture
Finely lectured

Time for slices
Ripe and violet
Lighter graces
Full moon faces

You lead, You land, You lose, You lie
End of folly end of folly

I believe that you in time
Will make the words that fit my mind
You do You did, You see, You saw
The one you knew You thought you know
We go so low
The fade
