The Gallery
01:49
|

Early in Powell Station
Something kind of strange happens there
While the bums rest on the ground
You'll pluck a harp's strings for me
Though the smell can be awful
I seem to feel like I'm in a gallery

Brothers and Sisters
I've got a fable to fill your heart
About the first time that I heard the truth
I was just so young
With a black guitar in my hands
It was an old one
But I couldn't play a lick
Late in the evening
I would listen to each song
And stay up all night trying to play the same
Lou Reed and John Cale, Sterling, & Verlaine
D Boon and Mike Watt
And I never played the same
If you feel like I feel
With loving in your heart
If you wait for a dire circumstance
It will get you far

I've Seen Your Face
03:03
|

Anyway, what seems to be the ballast of our home
Is seen as tumble weeds and clumps across the floor
She can take off all of the hair from my coat
While we sit and watch the water run
How does someone from above
Look down far below and wonder
How to stop the shingling of hope
We can take off all of the hair from my coat
While we sit and watch the water rise
I've seen the look on your face
And noticed that it never changes
The sight of it, oh, how does it prevail?
We're living 70s from decor to trees
To satisfy an unknown need
And join us if you want

Stimulated Pulp

How does it feel to dream
Inside of you your thoughts are caustic
Eroding at the sides
It leaves nothing much but stimulated pulp
Drippings and clippings of memories
Endless imagination
Ending infatuation
Subsidiary focus
Retentive opus

It's Obvious

Fine take the role
I feel better as I am
Finders are all keepers
That's what I hear

You wear a bowtie in your hair
And drape those pearls around your neck
You're beautiful just the way you are
But the lace won't get you very far
You remind me of a girl I knew
She went to city to start anew
She had a picture in her head
To be a star and make it big
Honey we're too young for me to write this song
I couldn't even have it if you tried
Do you even know what we could do
I couldn't even have it if you tried

Out of the Loop
02:55
|
|||
Bodies soon decide
How to live and die
Hold me close or tuck me in on your own
Pointed to a sign
The token of my eye
Once I took I only received
The thought was made in Spain
To ship across the bridge
And take the lives of those that were less than human
Step out of that brain
You think you've gone insane
The ones I loved would never come back
You studied people
Muddied people
Who'd like to see it overturned
You said to do it good
You do it too
And then you tell me, hun,
You're out of the loop

Two Birds High
03:35
|
|||
We're sitting up here
Looking down on what you're working on
And you've made it clear
Every piece you've found a purpose for
What have you started
I don't think it's a story you'd care to share with me
There's not much to fear
We've got an eye on what's been going down
With sweetness to hear
Ruffled feathers when the light's still on
What have you started
I don't think it's a story you'd care to share with me
Two birds high
Flying across the sky

Remember
03:19
|
|||
Remember the wallpaper in the downstairs bath
And the crushed frogs near the walking path
It's not you I'd like to know
All of this time
There's a few I thought I chose
They're all mine
You hold the stem of a dandelion
The yellow is gone and old
It once was bright as gold
Find me lost in the shape that the carpet makes
And in the hands of the clock that always takes
It's a fool that thinks it's gone far away
Find me a crown to cover the glistening sun
A crown of golden jewels to make me into the fool

On Your Own
01:32
|

Hey, if you go down to the castle
Can you leave at most one lamp on for me
The journey can be such a hassle
I'll need another post to guide myself to sleep
She looks out into the room
As if it's been swept up with a broom and says
"Honey, you can do it on your own"
