- Autumn Walker
Hello, old friend. It's been a while. How you been?
All things must end, but did you know what that meant?
The birds fly south. The summer sets.
The lights go out. Leaves on the ground.
Autumn walker, you just walked out.
And I see it now.
That it's so much easier alone,
and you don't have to worry about me.
- Cat Heaven
In the dream that awakened me,
you had come and taken me
to a sea of stars.
The cat stood in the
flowers two ears above.
And the ground that was under me
was holding me so wonderfully
- Chinatown
candle is blue could see me through but I'm color blind
they tell me it's blue and I'm a believer that's why I'm blind
live on the freeway listen to signs and we drive by feel
be a believer believe everything you'll be right
half the time
candle is waxing takes my apartment I bask in its magic
all of the firefighters put out my fires took all my matches
staying up later waking up old and I'm leaving her never
- Lucky Charm
How long will you wait for me to come around?
And wouldn't it be great if everything worked out?
I wouldn't come home late after hiding out.
I'd tell you everything.
How I couldn't life without you now.
How long will it take before I wake up unafraid to take you in my arms
and hold you like a lucky charm?
I know it's too late but wait for me to turn around.
- Mid-Day Anonymous
what will you do to turn this around
so many behind you so many before you
ticket in one hand gun in the other
what will you do which hand will you use?
came on the run and you will leave running
there's always someone to keep you from thinking
loving her desperately knowing you're leaving
- One Summer Last Fall
kid i held you with these arms that felt so hard
you kept your chin up and i held my guard
made a prison bed from a life i never led
let me correct these mistakes you delight in
God i hope i get it right ive been practicing tonight
kid i hope it holds soime fraction of its feeling
if you keep believing then ill keep on being
- Pale New Dawn
Sickly surrender to cola remember machines
Shaky somnambulist, shiver out all your screams
Go to the room with the chair and wait for your life
Scared that the voices I hear may never be mine
Seven December, a paperback letter recalls
You knew such happiness, crashing her loveliness one wedded fall
Cutting through gray where you’re holding the pages amazed
- Perfecting Loneliness
I'm a long list with no time.
Sunset panic on the street,
sugar and light bulbs,
the milk of kindness is behind us now.
With all those stones in your coat,
did you think they wouldn't know?
The tea leaves of trashed sheets,
- Rocket Boy
Headlights and red eyes, a warm beer between your thighs.
Mess of pills, Hollywood hills, the red lights.
Read me my rights.
Going in a circle, getting tighter every turn.
Think you're getting better but you're never quite sure.
Say it's all ahead of you.
How far can you see?
When you're living on your knees.
- Sea Anemone
the curtain's a sea anemone
in the way it sways
to the slow breeze
I lie spread out on the floor
looking at these things
and most of them are yours
and it's so nice
sitting very still
- Sweet Avenue
tasting you in rain I walk down to the train
try not to look down
this day could some day be an anniversary
everything is light and sound
facing forwards going slowly wait for you to show me
where this train wants to go
living by the hour I stop for every flower
everything is soft and slow
- Wish List
Mom and dad can't remember if I told you
how glad I am I finally got to know you.
Years from when we met, after I left home.
Let me sing you sweet and distant fictions.
On lonely nights you will lay and listen.
If you don't like it, wait until I fix it.
Then morning comes and cops invade my conscience.
I run around the house. A heated atom.
- You're Having The Time Of My Life
when you become a stranger again
how closed your eyes will be
narrowing me to three short feet
across a room of drunken revelry
youre having the time of my life
and i love you much too late
there are things id like to say
- You're The One I Want
Blooming black, flower wine,
slashed arms and new cut smiles.
Taller for the falling down,
stronger now without you 'round.
The prophecies were realized
when we gave them proper time.
All truths come to light
