A Summer's Wage

So much for the city
Where taxi cabs and cars run around
I'll make for the country
Start my shift with the sun rise
Feel the earth between my toes
While she runs up the credit cards
So I guess you got over it well
I wait for the world to grow
Pick my lunch from the vine
Keep it all inside my head
A summer's wage
A summer's wage
Don't last a life
No summer sustains
It's always the same end
You want to get honest
I've struggled to stay true this whole time
So we're breaking apart again
Feel the summer waiting
Love is in the-
Air in the city
So thick with smog I can't make out
What I was when I was both happy and healthy
Happy to be here
For a summer's wage
A summer's wage
Don't last a life
No summer sustains
It's always the same end

Outside Voices

I couldn't keep it straight
Just as I made up my mind
She burns a candle for severed ties
And makes amends
Wait!
Say what you used to say
I'd like to leave, I'd like to stay
But it's okay
Ain't it sweet that we're still talking
K
It's okay
If you leave and don't say something
I'd like to be where you've been
Shitty bars and your sister's friends
Oh anyways
Wait!
Say what you used to say
What you used to say
I'd like to leave, I'd like to stay
But it's okay
Ain't it sweet that we're still talking
K
It's okay
It's okay
If you leave and don't say something
Outside voices through the window
Callow stirring in my gene pool
Skin sticks, hearts tend to come by
Brace for, brace for, brace for
Now leafless
Outside language in the breezes
Fruit from the branch or your apartment
Melancholy in the hotel
No French
Lost in Montreal

Requiem (Through Doors)

Old friend
How's the other end
I think of you now and again
Out there
Two-thousand light years from where you came from
Your bed stays always made
Are you out where oranges all peel themselves
And ladies hold your head
Where old loves remain new loves
Oh tell me man, is there anything at all?
Besides your park bench
With it's little plaque
Your father's car
Your mother's heart
The dusty computer screen you'd run your swirly palms across
The busted hall
Your busted friends
The faucet fall
And God's disregard when you swim out too far?
Old friend
How's the other end
I think of you now and again
Out where oranges all peel themselves
And ladies hold your head
Where old loves remain new loves
Oh tell me man, is there anything at all?
Outside God's disregard when you go much too far?

The Wild Chemistry

What's the autumn bring
But the wilted trees
And leaving's greeting reeling in your callow string?
Come dye your hair back in my kitchen sink
I never wanted to change
I only wanted a break
To leave myself for awhile
Feel my hands in the wild
Before I settle down
Been around
It takes three
It takes three to tatter a beating heart
Collapse chambers, rip nerves apart
Pierce skulls in a totaled car
Your friends are asking where you are
It's nice to know that you're still around
I'd like to know that you're still around
I don't think there's something strange about it
I don't think there's something strange
Living life and never changing place
Like buoys move between the passing waves
I never want it to change
I only asked for her name
To leave our world for a while
And try my hand in the wild

Knowing you
Curtain called and gone
Word runs around now
Just like a cracked wood stage floor creaks
Snow melts to the stream
All I've ever earned was offered
And sixteen's over the hill
But I'd stray
I'll brace Chicago for a drink
And trade it all on your apartment
If you, if you've got the spirit still
(We, honey, we stand
Here, stay
Here, stay
Oh I loved you, anyway)
Short haired joy un-dreamed
Now all I can do is recognize, oh to recognize
That no, your new home is never ending
In fact it don't last long braided, braided
Braided, braided
I'll stray
I'll brace Chicago for a drink
And trade it all on your apartment
If you, if you've got the spirit still
(We, honey, we stand
Here, stay
Here, stay
Oh I loved you, anyway)
