Red Barn
03:26
|
|||
|
long, long years before you are born
bend down to touch the smallest flowers
before the first men live on the earth
slower until you are floating more than falling
dream the skyline right over the sky
the dream is blue and you are too
dreaming fast down I-94
and what color will you paint your barn?
red of course, red of course
red, of course, its the only color you can afford

Silver Cow

|

|
it's this silver cow that gets stuck in my head
it's this silver cow must be as old as dead
and every thousand years it doesn't tell me anything
i never get the silver cow you made
i never get the silver cow you made out of my head
you know crowned unright by the backwashed glitter cows
it's these slivered cows that can't trust their own sounds
and every thousand years it doesn't tell me anything

Killer

killer struts into the room, well i don't know her
you could be my killer and i'll be a stranger
little killer ate a pound of tums, what did i do
to deserve such a killer? i'm a killer and a runner too
you went out and caught a rabbit
i only snared a little bit of pumpkin
you joked and i knew the punchline
it was alright
the killer is ringing, "you got me on the run
and i've got the killers to all of your questions"

This Abyss

if you're listening to this abyss
there's nothing you can do
that can't be abysmal
the midnight is overgrown
whenever i want sedation around
i'm going to write a little letter
that feels sedated now
sedation won't be long
i wanna be your lover, sedation
i've got you in my heart

Lost Recline
03:09
|
|||
|
sit up straight and be lost against the line
at last lost in the middle of the lost recline
the sweet and pretty things are in piss now, of course
the way we sit, yeah, there we all sit
waiting for the way out of it
the sweet and pretty things are in piss now, of course
once upon a piss
you dressed so fine
well i ride on a piss with this graveyard walk
that sends back all your invitation talk
the sweet and pretty things are in piss now, of course

here comes old, flat divinity
moving in a way that fattens me
oh, divinity
here come gold, round divine
that i would like to stay behind
oh, divinity
you should see it through the bathroom window
it sleeps in the park
you never give me your divinity
is it gonna be in my dreams tonight?

Lung
04:35
|
|||
|
i got a lung from a friend in the parking lot
that made twenty in this spot
and i pictured myself inside
five o'clock, the lung begins and i sweat
and i used to get upset
i'm patching the hole where the lung resides
when i get older we'll be talking words
about any benefits
and losing nothing to do
i hope you have enjoyed it
between us all and everyone
i read it today in the sun
and i pictured myself inside

A Long Day
03:02
|
|||
|
on top of the mountains, wild and high
laying on a pond of warm hairless bellies
a woman fishing, catches a bird
with burnt toast hooks and assorted jellies
she draws the bird nearer to her face
and without touching it, she decides
the bird has no fragrance, and sits cross-legged
watching the bird, with a million eyes
it has been a long day
thank you, mother, for the night
she lodges the handle of her fishing pole
three large rocks, in between
he carried its wharves like a multitude of toes
and just kept on sleeping

Stand By Your Man
02:41
|
|||
|
sometimes it's hard to be a woman
giving all your love to just one man
you'll have bad times
and he'll have good times
doing things that you don't understand
but if you love him you'll forgive him
even though he's hard to understand
and if you love him
oh, be proud of him
cause after all he's just a man
stand by your man
give him two arms to cling to
and something warm to come to
when the nights are cold and lonely
stand by your man
and show the world you love him
keep giving all the love you can
stand by your man
