Streetpigs in the summer time
Sweating with some friends of mine
Sweating on some friends of mine
Seagulls in a summer sky
Swearing off that suffered swine
Slit your little wrists and mine
Curses in a coffee cup
Swept away not waking up
Sleeping ought to be enough
Lost in the world you made up
Lost to the lost to the least
Lost in the words your made of
It's all I'm supposed to believe
So...
Stay close to me my darling
Stay close to me my love
Seagulls in the summer time
Flying over friends of mine
They can come down anytime
Swallowing the time release
Saving face and keep the peace
Suffocate me in my sleep
Sunday morning much maligned
Stallion wading through the brine
Stammer over fetid lies

Mountain Song
I’lll come over the mountains,
Over the river, home to you
Well, its cold out side as I think of you
hell, I can’t think of anything else.
Maybe I’ll make coffee, maybe eat some thing
Maybe I should get some sleep
Its been a long long lonely time
It’s been gnawing on my mind
Been some burnout days feeling sorry
For myself and everything I’ve ever said
You can’t wash away, you can’t eliminate
You can’t take apart the pieces of this pain
When the stars come out again
I’ll stand beneath them and I’ll sing

Drown
How to not bottle it up?
How to keep it from piling up?
How to turn off the part that thinks I’m so funny?
Well I know I’m not, I know Im not.
How to not feel this?
How to keep from ruining everything?
How to not dismiss it with a joke?
Well I know I’m broken, I know I’m broke.
I won’t tell you lies
I will let you down
I look in your eyes
I won’t let you drown
I won’t tell you lies
I know I’ve let you down
I seen it in your eyes
I won’t let you drown
I’m standing still when I walk around

Sparkling Eyes
Struggle under the banner of doubt
Some desire beyond what is merely seen
Unfolded in your throat, ashamed of getting old
Taking pictures with your friends on your phone
How long do you think you can get by on your charms
With your smart mouth, and your sparkling eyes
Whats the real thing worth? What sincerely hurts?
What sails you off from broken hands you held
What burns you down and stubs you out
When cigarettes and sleeping by yourself
The only thing you’ve found

Long Gone
Been up all night dreaming about you baby
I can’t sleep, I can’t remember the last thing that you sang to me
As you ran out the door, hauling all your clothes in black bags
Into the backseat of that taxi cab you called
I never got to say goodbye
Never understood what made you cry, but
I can’t even say I tried to see it from your side
Even though we held it down for so long
You’re long gone
Even though we held it down for so long
You’re long gone and it’s too late
Wish I had told you, you were my only one
I need your loving more than any one, but
Now its early morning about 3:00 and
I’m drinking whiskey on the rocks and
Dreaming of you, I still dream about you
I never apologized
For whatever I did and didn’t realize
I can’t even close my eyes without you by my side
Even though we held it down for so long
You’re long gone
Even though we held it down for so long
You’re long gone and it’s too late

Till Tomorrow / Ain’t Talking (About Love)
First they’ll hurt you, then they’ll Throw you away
They don’t want you, no matter what they say
Always kissing broken bottles
Surely some sharp shards will get swallowed
I’ll say nothing till tomorrow
It’s just a cycle, the moon waxes and wanes
It feels so tidal, when we’re swallowed in the wake
Trying hard to hide these feelings
All the while you can’t stop the bleeding
All I want do is stay up late and talk with you
Tell me what can I do?
I’ll say nothing till tomorrow
I don’t wanna know about it
I don’t wanna think about it
I really don’t wanna talk tonight
I don’t wanna hear about it
Don’t wanna hear you sing about it
I really don’t wanna talk tonight
All the nightmares come clawing at your door
When you don’t wanna loose your love
But you can’t recall what you bought it for
I don’t wanna read about it
Don’t wanna write a poem about it
I really don’t wanna talk tonight
I can’t get to sleep with out it
I know I’ll only dream about it
I really don’t wanna talk tonight
I don’t wanna talk tonight

Blood In The Sky
Someone came around to rip your heart out
The sting of silver burning on your lips
They hollowed you out with crooked fingers
They carved a yawning grave into your chest
There are mysteries woven through the truth
There are promises in packs of cigarettes
The all assuming eyes,
The cellphones and white lies
That haven’t whispered at you yet
There was blood in the sky
It was a ticker tape parade
For the jack of hearts fallen off his horse
Can someone tell me how its supposed to be
Cos I don’t think it can get much worse
There is darkness everywhere you look
Dangers we can fight but can’t escape
All the highway miles that pass us by
Bones all splintered bruised and scraped
There are mysteries of clouds of dust and dirt
Light that struggles up through ice
Blood dried on your hands, cluster bombing rants
Tarnished silver open mouths to laugh

Hidden mirror out
Holding hands in a firing-line
I'm so happy that I met you
For a moment the light held out
Fell asleep on a hospital couch
It's always the same old song
"I really wanna help you"
Sung into an empty bottle
Say it one time say it one more time
Say it one time say it for me one time
Say it one time say it one more time
Say it one time say it for me one more time
It's been a long long while
And I guessed I learned live without it
Gray dawn rise and the river's foam
Trying to stay awake when I'm driving home
Slam the wheel to the same old song
"I really wanna help you"
Sung into an empty bottle
Say it one time say it one more time
Say it one time say it for me one time
Say it one time say it one more time
Say it one time say it for me one more time

Odessa Steps (Long Distance Runner)
Snap my neck let's have a party
Don't want to go, it's not important
Sing a letter to your lost long island
Like a narrow wasted sunday
I know you're looking out for me
Swimming in a pool, you're laughing
Someday something good will happen
Whatever's true you can't outrun
You don't belong to anyone
Love is free, it's not enough
No matter what you feel about it now
I can crawl around
down on the ground
Until my palms bleed
They still mean us
When they say "kids"
Cerement of saliva and spit
I know you're looking out for me
We are crows caught
In window's rails
I've never felt so stupid

Through A Lattice (Tell A Lie)
I woke up last night
and picked up the phone
and though i know you weren’t home
I called to tell you a lie
I’m shaking like branches
On an old hallow tree
I’m falling like leaves on that very same tree
I called to tell you a lie
At night, some nights
When I can’t sleep
I wait and I pray and
I count all the sheep
I called to tell you a lie
I’m sorry to wake you
I’m sorry I met you
I’m sorry I was born
I called to tell you a lie
