Sleepyhead
02:47
|
|||
six thirty come like a call to arms / five alarms have sounded / the covers are confused / heaped, the sheets are all at one end / wake up sleepyhead / wake up, wake up / it's a lucky land in which you live / the complexes are expansive / the low rises of high marketing inventive / are you building debt? / it's a mean road they're laying out there / the research is extensive / we can prove it's all genetic / now don't be scared / we've got just the thing for your few phlegmatic / the young and free are fast and automatic / and they always have been / four o'clock arrives / the exasperated sigh / still in line / still confounded / the newspapers keep amused while the avenues have all become dead ends / are you being led to where the commerce is intensive and the councils are all cold and retentive? / wake up sleepyhead / wake up, wake up

Cotton Oriental Pants

|

It was awful but mostly for the animals / subjected to such energy / the cumulative force of a thousand minds all opening up at the same time / over the mud and mainstream / she swore she was over trance / still on storey high high-heels / caped in cotton oriental pants / there were reason why I wouldn't try everything / her father had kept her psychiatric for six months / six months and all out of love / she fled up north / and a year to the last new year's day / she'd barely made it home / and I hated those dragons that climbed up over her legs / and sided with the fatal skirt that cut off both their heads / she was sorry / this almost naturopath / yes, she was sorry she didn't have any stories / there were reasons why I wouldn't try everything / an almost naturopath working hard healing others and not herself

Upright
03:26
|
|||
you're taking water / you're losing shape / you're wide asleep / wide asleep and fast awake / you read / you don't understand what you're reading / you pray / you can't believe what you're hearing / you've got to smile / you've got to smile with it out of shape / you can forgive yourself the time / all the time in the world, but not the space / you're underestimated and you're overboard / in the very moments you should be / you don't get angry anymore / just tired of saying something / and tired from doing nothing / you keep taking water and passing faith / looking like a heap while you're standing straight / tired from doing nothing / you play for someone's daughter sincere and deep after waiting out the past five hours / and they're cruel enough to make you appear polite and not take it personally / when you're / tired of saying something

They'll Let You Know
03:07
|
|||
we're saving in sickness / we're saving in health / we can pull nay nails by the head if we catch them sleeping in the shelves / they'll let you know / we'd pay to not have them see our face / it only ever brought us trouble / no, it's better to run the show or be left holding the floor / we don't have to hire / we don't fire anymore / they'll let you know if you're needed / don't plan tomorrow / we know you're desperate / we know you're desperate / we're saving in sickness / we're saving in health / we can knock any nails on the head if we think / if we suspect / that they're thinking for themselves / they'll let you know / and they'll peddle faster if you slow / so if you're needed / don't plan tomorrow / we know you're desperate / we know you're desperate

Text Bomb
02:29
|

those little characters / on that little screen / those little atom bombs she loves to leave / at the accident / hey, who's playing stretcher-bearer? I saw you down there on scene / bet she scared you / how could anyone keep having such a bad run? / it's to here credit these embarrassments come off smooth and clean / after all, she can cut together anything / cause she's honed to razors / she's got a splice on every frame / the trauma's significant and best when on a magnificent stage / now I don't want o cause a fight / we're all at some disposal when she's at some device / how could anyone keep up with her idea of having fun? / yeah it's just as you read those embarrassments / these letters / on that little screen / those little messages she has to leave / the little character / I think she's playing with you / cause when the star collapses she knows the rest of the world will rush down to the scene / so roll the credits / we can cut together anything / watch your edits / make sure you don't miss anything

Loss
03:38
|
|||
what is this space in my chest? / what wants attention at a desk? / when the seconds jam / when you manage / it's a loss and yet I haven't lost anything / if anything, I've gained / but what about this hole here? / here, just underneath / it's a space as space can only exist / I'm missing what I didn't know I had place / it's like a love that's slight or a fear that's just less / am I mistaken? it's just a loss / and not losing anything

Scotch In The Clown
03:32
|
|||
they say the staples / they can't hold a kid together / they say the staples / they can't hold a kid together / there's quiet on his clothes / with scotch in the clown now and hypochondria caught in the rudders / there's no action and it shows / it's just resistance / it's a funny kind of fall / it's just resistance / the roll-backward slide down a glass wall / if only they were all such walls / he wishes he could see a little clearer / there's scotch in the clown now and silence from the rudders / it's just resistance / a funny kind of fall and still with interest / let's the roll-back slide down the glass wall / if only they were all such walls / it's a funny kind of fall

Perfect Son
01:41
|
|||
as in the final hours / the priest came walking in / with beads about his hand and wine about his breath / he took the frail wrist and pulled the stool up to the bed / have you anything to confess? have you anything to confess? nothing father / I die with no regrets / you die with no regrets? I die with no regrets / but none of us are perfect son / be not in pieces in your rest / have you anything to confess? if I have wronged another / blameless or with intent / you can bet that I did my best

The Moment Hasn't Come
02:34
|

please pick up / I've been cut / no, I haven't heard anything / pick up, pick up / I haven't heard anything / if I loved it / didn't that make me good? / if I loved it / wouldn't that be enough to make me? / please pick up / I'm cut off / no, I haven't heard anything / the moment hasn't come / the moment hasn't come / and I'm sick and I'm fast running out / isn't that enough? / enough to make you wrong and makes me good / I'm cut off / no, I haven't heard anything / the moment hasn't come / and I'm sick and I'm fast running out / in a six and somewhere on the earth / isn't that enough? / isn't that enough to make you wrong and makes me good / it makes you wrong and makes me good / pick up, pick up / I haven't heard anything

From The Loft
02:10
|
|||
look at me here / I must be dying / it's as though both kinds consumption have slowed me / still, it almost could be blissful here in this heat / here in this heat / that child, of a morning / for no good reason screams / and just when the trains has ceased to bother me / just let me lie oh god a few more moments / look at them here / they're not even trying / does every kind of cretin have to pretend that I'm breathing? / oh, the introductions / the making light of a heavy silence / and without any sharp cutlery / onward pen / you ruinous / you wretched thing / I keep doing these drafts over and over again / who would love me for my dying? who would listen? / at least I don't lie / not for you, I wouldn't

Exit Strategy
04:24
|
|||
they cross me / these streaks of agate / they're red and warning / but I'm already out of bed / they cross me / these streets, like a death / bright and sunny / this is fast becoming not my design / this isn't what I had in mind / it struck me / last night, what you said / it's almost funny / how quickly you forget / this is fast becoming not my design / I think it's up and running from what I had in mind / this isn't what I had in mind
