i try to keep it simple, i try to keep it down
and when i gain momentum the lies of life go to town
knowing without really knowing waits it out
who's out there jerkin around, gettin worked gettin beat down
left like a fish on the dock, flipfloppin on yr flipflops
what was i tryin to say, took my train of thought away
knowing without really knowing fishes it out
the way that people treat you says all they need to show
maybe time reveals their motive, maybe you'll never know
knowing without really knowing lets it go
knowing without really knowing figures out

on an august day
04:42

this isn’t what i want to say
call me on another day
yr always gone away to me
a baby is a-layin at my feet
i’m stayin with a lady at her peak
i went away and left my sorrow again for the win [in the wind]
a father on an august day
sees his daughter watchin children play
past the office for a quick hey hello
now run away to me
&run&run&run&run&run&
& then you try to hide away from me
you’re all of my life
all i feel is outside
spotting a tricycle ride til dark
is he the one who ran away
is he the one who loves the sun
on an august day

let me off of leviathan
feeling's lost at the node
get me off on the quiet
then i'll relay you the latest code
there's a hole in her backyard
i see her workin it pretty hard
where the opening is scarred
covering up
i went to spy &/or help her out
to find a dry, clean tunnel that leads to the fair
breezin by a hurried crowd - she even hired a gun to protect her share
circling home inside the well
acquisitors begin to quell
next we'll see pre-occupied early adopters fashion a place she can hide
the tunnel's turned into a mall
not my style, not my call
she knows her gun is someone's mole
lawyers lather the yard like foam on a shoal

wtf-2-do
05:42
|

|
in a moment when i hesitate to be kind i try to think of you
blithe and open while the eyes of fate recalibrate wtf2do
but when i’m contained and content
i’m not so elegant or eloquent
i’m straining and tangential in my mind
for all the latent inference
and all the taking of offense
nobody’s trading my intensity to try
in the moment when i hesitate
there’s a joy i never find
where enduring lovers elevate
i wanna sink in yr lovin arms - i wanna swim in yr lovin eyes
i want that glimpse of yr love
i wanna swim in yr lovin eyes
i wanna sink in yr lovin arms

love is like a position
where words will never fall off the bed in my condition
if it were easy to say i’d never wake atall in the light of acquisition
the west is equally ancient
but finders never keep the love that i can tender
try resisting a problem that’s rigged up to make you hate the thought of a solution
the web of life will pull in anger limb from limb
and feed into a maw that thrives on our pollution
the west is equally ancient
where crossroads rammed with sheep yield to values i can render
the east is especially patient
the science of the sea in the light of acquisition
love is like a position where words will never fall off the bed in my condition
the best are making a difference
the worst'll take us all in the light of acquisition

all the hippies are dead
04:24

all the hippies are dead, the zombies are crying
no brains left to suck, or blood in the teeth
they consider this the end of undying
at bullets per round, in heaps upon the street
when the zombies are dead, the vampires cackle
like the witches - their friends - every hallowe’en
they’re so literate from laying in coffins
all the day long reading up on the queen
they shake their heads cuz we’re lazy
foolin around at the corner on tv - they like it
all the hippies are dead, while vampires and witches
wage an internet war on the japanese
godzilla is so patiently fighting
with aliens from mars 'gainst the vulcans out in greece
when the hippies are dead the planet is dying
while we bullshit around there’s torture on the street
all the idiots put in charge really like it
they like it
they like it

jiggly eyes

i got jiggly eyes when you aerobicize
then all day long i got those jiggly eyes
i got foreman's feet, i got a poor man's reach
i wanna run in the river but not too deep
run away from me
get away from me
til i feel alright
i wanna run away, i wanna be the wave
i wanna slide thru the river but i can't behave
i can't behave
run away from me
run away from me til i feel alright
til i feel alright
i got jiggly eyes

outlived my life
05:27

i outlived my life a winner at night
a loser in my youth, unhappily
i lost my legs below the knee
the diabetes got to me
out of juvie, into jersey, then rollin thru the studio
i dress up, harassed on the 4th floor
to take the staircase down, past the stagedoor
toward the care that will outlast me in a dream
i hit on the road, watched race explode
placated by the soul of belonging to the team
chick died, then benny ensured i'wd run the orchestra
my 1st husband was a mobster
the 2nd toured the world with oscar
my father & mother, they both died when we were young
they were both all asses & elbows
i couldn't cut out of that scene quite quick enough
when i go back into the surgeon
then i'm just tryin to make some worth
so i cn match the healing gaze while feelin tough
i outlived my life
