we are lucky . it is effortless/ and steep steep enough
only smiles and certainty and blue skies/ to fall up into / we don’t have to even try
this is every amnesia movie/ we know how it ends
// when have I ever given anyone what they want
we are lucky / it is effortless / and steep steep enough
we’re a beach without an ocean to trouble it
Dining out on our operatic DNA/ we don’t have to even try
this is every amnesia movie/ we know how it ends
// when have I ever given anyone what they want

burn the sheets bleach the books/ a city of tents blocking the silk road
trusted in everything/ an odd number of eyes looking at heaven
// fix it jesus make a wish upon a moving light/ above the embers over the glow upon a stain a knife a satellite oh oh.
innocent/ always been a grain of sound in an ocean of static / without a mask without a ring a cloud of moths circling heaven
// fix it mother race the flies/ to wake the carcass in your eyes/ a wish upon a satellite a stain

the earth seen from the moon/ another picture day got away
the current running through your hands
it fixes itself //
the current running through your hands, i felt it in your drama club embrace
another day got away from me //
blood red. safe bed.
the earth seen from the moon / fake fruit/ a shadow ornament
a safe bet a chemical set / in a blood red corduroy 3 piece suit
(safe bed // blood red) (safe bed // blood red)

jaco pastorius visits my dreams sometimes / he walks me through florida alleys and talks my troubles gone
he says: it’s the best time and the worst time to be an amputee in hollywood / some days I cannot make a sound/
machine machine treat me like a baby / machine. let me win to keep me on the hook
you’re a lost continent / you’re a mystery that everyone stopped trying to solve /
invisibility bleeding out bleeding out
virgin mary shade of blue / time does a number does a number
it’s the best time and the worst time to be an amputee in hollywood / invisibility bleeding out bleeding out / some days I cannot make a sound/
(It changed without you)

gas station roller dogs appear in my peripheral vision / can we fuck the chinchilla and microwave the burrito / can we vote against our better interests tonight
gas station roller dogs appear in my peripheral vision / pistol beats knife/ your money or your life / i’m not wrong you’re not right tonight tonight
// can we eat ‘em in secret / can we piss off those people who look down their noses tonight tonight
// taking my mail-order bride on a joyride we won’t see the morning light / we’re not getting out alive / i’m kinda husky she’s dwarf sized / these colors don’t run so good tonight
gas station roller dogs appear in my peripheral vision / we have nothing to fear / the messages are clear / the power of prayer says let’s fuck it tonight

antenna mountain song / new eyes
lay me down like dinosaur sleep / distance hides / behind a true heart
antenna mountain drone / lay me down
maybe don’t play so fair this time maybe don’t play so fair this time maybe don’t play so fair this time
maybe don’t play so fair

you never were a magazine / the bullet will hit you before the sound / before the sound /before the sound /
the atom’s been split / teeth marks in soft metal / throw the knife at the candle
come back as a bug / come back as a snowdrift in a streetlight /
//sin eaters rest their eyes / too dumb to be afraid / crawl inside a warmer simulation //
a toothless ghost/ a wasted grudge/ a half assed vampire sings / Bette Davis eyes / it eats time and time’s what we have alone coyote south pasadena
brevity brevity brevity brevity brevity brevity brevity
(you never were a magazine/ tearing out the pages)
//we can talk before the unsaid blossoms into terrible myth / every day I thank god for you
//soul to soul / the bullet before the sound
hope is grace today is not tomorrow / when you stop asking I’ll stop answering/
maybe the world has already ended
// soul to soul to when you stop answering / soul to soul the bullet before the sound
