It feels like summer’s always a ways away / will you be taller? will you love me the same? / I wrote you letters but threw them all away / it feels like summer’s always a ways away

I said I’m just a small town whore / with big city dreams as she whispered in my ear / don’t you forget them, boy; between you and me, we have nothing to fear / I’ve been waiting for so long for someone like you to come along / oh, I’ve been waiting for so long for you / bless the kids who grow up slow / I was never one of them so I fed pigeons to atone / for all the things that you’ve been blamed / like eating the fruit and holding the snake / but there was nothing at all I could blame you for / and maybe you’re the one that I’ve been waiting for / I’ve got to learn not to mind / at the cost of it not feeling right / and your pure little heart running suicides / I’ve been waiting for so long for someone like you to come along / oh, I’ve been waiting for so long for you / I’ve got to learn not to mind / at the cost of it not feeling right / and your pure little heart running suicides / oh I’ve been waiting for so long for someone like you to come along / oh, I’ve been waiting for so long for you

Coelacanth

It’s the only way that I know how to be / faithful to the seeds of scattered dreams / I waited upon their every need / I had no other hungry mouths to feed / but the seeds of scattered dreams plucked from my own / fill in phrases I resolved to run amok / to the ocean off the coast of Africa / where you and I have caught a Coelacanth / COELACANTH / can’t overrun my will to see the light / that charges from the caverns of your eyes / and wrestles all the static from my hands / so furiously seeking your command / COELACANTH / now I was young when I first met the sea / I’ve sunken below when I was weak / but the plea that I had bargained in the weeds / beheld the lure and surfaced from the deep / COELACANTH!

As the Crow Flies
05:42

A masterpiece of cracked paint / thus far saved by cloth’s decay / you know you feel too much when only your heart breaks / so blow your mind on make believe / fondle every hair you can lay / just to show how lifelike they can be made to ache / with both backs turned and thoughts unread / they’ll mourn the loss with other men / with sighs a fitting farewell for a little death / so turn a cheek and mouth (dear) / when you hit your peak I hope to feel / as the crow flies over barren fields / you’re thinking of me, you’re thinking of me / when the music they play on cloud nine / isn’t in a key you like / I’ll laugh so hard I’ll cry

Spider Rope

The run reveals itself to be much more than tape to break and miles underfoot / lost amongst the wood / a pack of wolves who blush too much to fool red riding hood / the narrative is blown to bits / confetti scraps that go out singing / in the miracle mile where all things enter autumn and spring / when you’re dying to know / the song comes out in mumbles / tracing hearts with your name in the snow / wild as the dawn we’re burning up the road / to eternity in love songs / the kind I never wrote / but we’ll spin them like to spiders weaving fine, silken rope

I Do

It’s moving in like a rogue wave now / coming faster than your old face / haunted in new ways, but the look is still the same / so I get it off like a prop plane / and steal the coins back from the arcade / it’s stolen from you before, so I guess that it’s okay / I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care but I do / I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care but for you / loosen the ribbon around the map / tied to a bow like a present / roll it out on the tabletop and smooth the creases with your hands / ‘cause the truth remains where the grass grows / bent at the waist where the wind blows / feel the rise and fall of the landscape / plan the scenic route for your conquest / I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care but I do for you / so fasten tight your lines of love / the sea forgets fair weather storms / yet churns tides on distant shores / where children carve their signatures / on ancient walls, in sacred caves / on trunks of trees we could not save / and in cement, not yet dry / and in our history, multiplied / I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care but I do for you / yes, I do

Heavy winds point spectral fingers where no one remembers / recounting over brown bag lunches and in the trenches / when little whims birthed psychic powers that tread on like iron / still, many yet could stand to wonder (about) those from elders / but who could find the words to say those hardships yield the finest clay / use your knife / be polite / wait your turn / stay in line / place your bets on this lost cause / rest your head in this lost world
