I still see the blood stain
I could point it out on Dodridge St.
on a sunny day at a lower speed
I know myself and I know my needs
I still see the buckle of the knee
stop my car and pull the key
so I can clear my head on the scene
I know myself and I know my needs
(your eyes,
they break the wake
the fear is in the groundwater
I was washing windows
I was on fire)
I still see the sand dunes
slipping through the desert on a big bug's back
on a sunny day at the Salton Sea
I burned myself on the bottoms of my feet
I still see the buckle of the tree
a poplar pole and a gnashing of the teeth
and I can feel my frame cowering
I know myself and I know my needs
One time, one time, one time
I can't believe it's time to try
Be still, it's real
the light in your eyes kills me, kills me
and I'm in your corner always, always, always
(pinwheels cycling 'round
pinwheels cycling 'round
begin on my feet
begin on my feet)

Alder

wish I knew where the alders grow
where Johnston died at the outpost
is that where you go?
wherever it is you go it looks like the moon
the old growth soon is gonna get new legs
walk over here and eat me alive
I said it before and I'll say it again
the purest things will move without touching them
in the alder grove a tree cuts the wind
and if the bough shall break may it grow back again
oh my god
Vancouver, Vancouver, this is it now
this is the big one
in the alder groves of the old blast zone
a feeling comes like it's gonna get me, too
flows over me
(rosy, rosy
just enough of the sun's up
for just a bit of a dustup
oh you go, now you go, down you go)
I said it before and I'll say it again
the purest things will move without touching them
in the alder grove a tree cuts the wind
and if the bough shall break may it grow back again
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
I'll say it again as I've said it before
once you grow old you don't want much anymore
if the burning cloud just misses the house
sell the broken boughs and remain
remain, remain, remain, remain, remain

I broke the back off of my alarm clock tonight
took a bath
I guess I'm starting over
I climb out through the sunroof
I climb away from my old ways
I try to smile at the neighbors
I close my eyes on the bus ride home
I crossed a wire
I lost my mind
hold me now if you'll ever hold me
a Toblerone on the arm of an armchair
merrily, merrily, merrily go to sleep
I fly loose through the hallways
I fly in the face of my antics
I run faster than a bandit
I feel my roots as they're burning
I crossed a wire
I lost my mind
hold me now if you'll ever hold me
hold me now if you'll ever hold me
hold me now if you'll ever
we pull away from the silver bay
you never know if you've a stowaway
you never know, you never know

I heard they've got good tea and vending machines
a beautiful entryway with beautiful carved stones
old Ironside is on the TV
I'll stay awhile
I'll be here
I'll be right here if you wake in the night
oh, sleepyhead, you've got a pile by your bed
and it's flowering
what did I tell you?
my teeth hurt
a caffeine pill, a Baby Ruth
I've got to go but I'll see you
I'll see you soon
I feel so many things around me
that pull me back back into a room you're in
the place we shared
you were patient
when a martian with a squadron of arsonists set you on fire
in the kitchen of "what have we got to lose?"
with smoke hot on my cheeks
a Hershey Kiss
you are the proof that I've ever loved or done anything good
(I've fallen in
tapping out
tapping 'home'
please take me)
was it you?
when the lilac bloomed on mother's day
all crystalline
I feel so many things around me
that pull me back back into a room you're in
a golden hour

Bunny

my only desire is to live forever
walking alongside the old gods
go restock the Ritz and the Welch's
everybody here is a damn Catholic
go on, twist my arm!
bite my lip, old man!
draw my blood!
it's like drawing blood from a turnip
eh, old boy?
I'll be damned to find you here
sucking suds from a Rolling Rock
what is this, a meeting of the nature club?
ruthless as a gun dog
Bunny's gonna get us all caught
he says, go on, quiver before my beauty!
bite my fucking lip, old man!
go on, draw my blood!
but it's like drawing blood from a turnip
eh, old boy?
they killed him and they killed him good
they threw him off a cliff
they killed him and they killed him good
they threw him off a cliff
they killed him and they killed him good
they pushed him off a cliff
and the snow fell after he fell good
and they couldn't find his body
and the search party trampled the snow
down into his skull

we made a shade not found in nature
a god ray from the soil
it takes to the rivers and burns through the gills
somebody broke into my car in the backyard and nothing was taken away
they just rearranged my things into a spiritual bouquet
flooded eyes flood my eyes
gem of the sun
crash to earth
take me to task where it hurts
let me know when you wake up
let the morning light seal the crack-up
sing into a hairbrush
I Will Always Love You and I Shall Be Free
Cayce had another dream
greatest fellow in the world when he's asleep
in a strange land in the blue van with the faux wood paneling
sugar you're buzzing me to sleep
like the kudzu before you that buries the hills
flooded eyes flood my eyes
gem of the sun
crash to earth
take me to task where it hurts
are you sure it's coming over—and over and over and over and—?
sell the furniture!!
sell the furniture sell the furniture sell the furniture sell the furniture sell the furniture
flood my mind
with the old dark ride—the flooded mine
oh, Dolly
oh, Dolly
the animatronics are escaping
oh, Dolly

Bug Museum

all my life I'm down with my feet on the ground
and here you are threatening me with a good time in the sky
in tourmaline green
we got sad at the bug museum
on our honeymoon in Santa Fe
to see a turtle circling a cage
very much alive and not a bug
just living out his days
I rub my eyes hard till I see nothing but stars
breaking horizon wide
infinite colonnade of light
come on, our ride is here, c'mon
come on, our ride is here, c'mon
a body of which I am one lung
you are the other one
("no one will watch while we're kissing
no one will see while we swoon
come take a trip in my airship
and we'll visit the man in the moon")
we walked out on the bug museum
on our honeymoon in Santa Fe
you said, I'm the beetle and you're the bark
it's something small
it's something from today
bore inside me where time moves slowly
we're underwater in the movies
(it's something small from the earth
it's something small from the earth)

Solarium
03:11
|

|
be careful on the mountain
and do not try to fly
like flickering light all down through the holler
with me waiting at the bottom
at a Wendy's that's still got a solarium
(why, why, why, why, why?
why, why, why, why, why?)
as the sky is falling
we're holed up in the solarium
see the brambles at the edge where the juneberries are coming in?
I'd swear on my life that I'm living in a dream again
do not cry
I have found my favorite necklace
it's the one with the raccoon
Jessie found in her new car
without it I knew that my days were numbered
so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so many precious objects!
makes it hard to move
makes it hard to move
makes it hard to move
makes it hard to move
the luncheonette is filled with rats
and two cats do not try
and everything is like a dream
and like a dream is everything to me

Readying
04:44

I reoccur as a boy
I'm shy again
with furrowed brow I'm porcelain
red ring around my mouth
with Raggedy Ann smile
readying is Herculean
readying is Herculean
readying is Herculean
readying is Herculean
all right
where will I find you?
and how will I know it's you?
where will I find you?
and how will I know it's you?
readying is Herculean
readying is Herculean
readying is Herculean
readying is Herculean
where will I find you?
and how will I know it's you?
I think if I shut the door hard enough
it might all snap back into the frame

I'm all right driving through the desert on a starry night
I'm on the knife
I'm on the shoulder
with a broken down car
running out of water
when on comes on a light
and down comes an angel
in the form of a conestoga
forging a river
as I'm flat on my back
flat in my silence
with a head full of teeth
cursing my stubbornness
if death is the land
and death is the ocean
then i'm lying on the shore
without much understanding
I'm all right driving through the desert on a starry night
see now, it's like I told you I'm on the outside looking in
I'm in the light
naked at the break of it
and just with my boys
my boys got my spirits
when down comes a knife
and down comes an angel
in the form of a conestoga
utterly stunning
as I'm flat on my back
laughing in a harness
that no one is around
but the clouds and the conifers
if death is the sky
and death is the surface
then I'm clinging to the wire
this day has been perfect
(we'll meet again
we'll meet again)
when I'm tired
I got no fight
and you're so lively
oh, do you know I love you so?
in reverie
when I die and I go into to the light
all shivery
I hope that you know that I loved you so
the best that I could be
will you remember baby?
(I feel it all, I feel it
I feel the full feeling
I feel it all, I feel it
I feel the full, full feeling)
when I'm tired
I got no fight
and you're so lively
oh, do you know I love you so?
in reverie
when I die and I go into to the light
all shivery
I hope that you know that I loved you so
the best that I could be
(I will remember baby
I will remember baby
I will remember baby
I will remember baby)
