comin up with a new name
goin off to the races
the year's almost over now
i wish i knew that before.
dressed in yellow and turquoise
wearin gingham and purple
i think that they'll be the new good ol' boys
animals runnin in circles.
why does everyone want to get so high?
why does everyone want to get so high?
sunday best on a saturday
get out of the road
you won't remember tomorrow
i wish i knew that before
dressed in lace and white flowers
all up in her hair
poetry on the front porch steps
is anybody there?
does anybody care?
no.
why does everyone want to get so high?
why does everyone want to get so high?

Never Planning To

you took my bike for a quick ride
as i was writing inside
wind, blowin through your hair
so zen.
you were lookin cute in your tighties
as i'm criticizing the lighting
roads weaving in and out
like the curving of my pen
and then
you were heading south and
never planning to see me again
so the first shot was the last one
you take it all and leave none for anyone
an afterthought? well,
maybe not.
photographs of the big place
yeah let me know when you land from your headspace
mouth breathing loud,
can't get it out!
but it sure takes in
so just
choke it down your throat
don't ever let it come up again.
so then...
you were headin south
and never planning to see me again

You're Kind To Me

many try to love me
many do not work
now i'm wearing your hat
and you're wearing my shirt
and i'm in a skirt
thank god it's warm.
without fail you charm me
out of funk
now i'm after hours cruisin with a
little punk
and i'm drunk.
thank god you're kind to me.
and now there's nothing left to do
i've been dying for you
and trying to undo
what the other fool
cannot see.
and now there's nothing left to say
if you want me to i'll stay
forever and a day
you're what the other fool
cannot be.
open up the window
take a look at the sun
now i've found a reason for
every good thing i've done
and now there's nothing left to do
i've been dying for you
and trying to undo
what the other fool
cannot see.
and now there's nothing left to say
if you want me to i'll stay
forever and a day
you're what the other fool
cannot be.

Heart In My Head
03:43

the heart in my head is burrowing deeper
the climbing is still necessary
while all i've got left
is a stumbling step till i've
earned my diploma
in caring
oh see, little bird see me
wallowing on the grade
sweet winged and light
and pleasantly chirping
she's carving the sky
while i cannot find
the old
neon path i have made
the heart in my head is burrowing deeper
the climbing is still necessary
while all i've got left
is a stumbling step till i've
earned my diploma
in caring
watch as i
i've changed my whole life
counting wishes for wood
there's an old saying goes
moss on the south side
but i've seen it grow where it shouldn't
who knows if there would be
a north side of free
if a body had gone where it wouldn't.
the heart in my head is burrowing deeper
the climbing is still necessary
while all i've got left
is a stumbling step till i've
earned my diploma
in caring

Break My Body's Speed
05:08

sittin on the edge of the river, i,
into that river, i fall
rushing, pulling, that bank it was so tall.
lookin up from the mud i
tangle at a reed
all in all it was not enough
to break my body's speed
oh break my body's speed,
later i want it later.
sittin on the edge of the bedstand
into that pillowcase
i fall
rushing, pulling, oh your heartbeat
says it all.
and now you're
lookin out for a cigarette
and as you're finding what you need
is this going to be
proof enough
to finally believe?
oh break my body's speed,
later i want it later.
