Kuschelbär

I have been working
Working on something
Something you’ll never see

It is a boat
It’s almost done
There’s just enough room for me

You heard the hammer and
You had the question but
Instead you just let it be

Cause it’s been raining
Pretty hard and
You know we live right by the sea

Does it feel good to say goodbye?
Bye bye bye

I had a good friend
We had a good fight
We’re not friends anymore

He cut me down
I asked him why, he said
That’s what friends are for

At the time I thought
He might be right
And it shook me to the core

I found out later
He’d just seen his ex-girlfriend
Just another vote for the war
Well, fuck you, man

Does it feel good to say goodbye?
Bye bye bye

Does It Feel Good (To Say Goodbye?)

here's a fun one! dance if you feel like dancing!

lyrics

it's fall
the trees surrender
and the clouds that heard the last words of the light
it's cold
the trees remember
maybe my fever breaks tonight
I'll find a way around you
you are both a shortcut and a knot
I won't spend my days with abstractions of you
I keep thinking my hands are shaking but they're not

Daniel how you been I've been away from the city I've been
away from the city, I talked to Marla, had to google track marks.
I didn't know what they meant.
I didn't know how you been.
Daniel I know it's been tough since I've been out of the city and since your mama died.
But we got that '06 Rebel and the Shadow sittin in the garage.
If we just flush the carburetors we can finally go to Wichita.
And there'll be better and better and better and better and better days ahead.

Heard you been drinkin
On the moneyed side of town.
Did I love you when the law took you down?

Is it really fair to say I had a hand in this? It's never that clear.
But Daniel, if you want to come home, you can show me how it's done here in the city.
Was it worth moving up?
Was it worth it, huh?
And we'll go back to the days before Harvard Law and we'll all be good.
And we'll go back to the old white word: dignity.

Heard you been drinking
On the moneyed side of town.
Did I love you before the school came around?
Did I love you?
Did I let you down?

Daniel Moves Up in Class

There's nothing like Lake Louise in the summertime,
or so the snowbird sailors say.
Another pink sunrise over Pensacola,
staring at the Bayfront Bar & Grille.

I swim the harbor every morning,
end to end with endless rhythm,
in an endless conversation between 
the water and the wind.

I know I came from somewhere different,
keel and frame from polished cedar
and an Alabama slash pine for a mast.

Neither land nor sea shall harbor me.
Neither one could feel like home.
But someday, I'll get where I'm coming from,
to the shores of Lake Louise.

I saw the billboard from the boatramp.
It said, "Come on, eh, to Canada,
where the Engelmann and lodgepole
are the marrow of your boats."

I'm having dreams about my fathers,
all the glory and their wisdom
that had flowed like sap among them
in the soil where I was born.

So if you see my mainsail floating to the north,
and if you hear my smiling, it's only the wind.

I'll be here for many years, counting the rising tides
on the Pensacola Bay.
So I'll beat along against the current,
knowing nothing's really coming,
that the future and the past are all just
lies that I've been told.

Dreams from Jaco's Bayfront Bar & Grille

Separated for too long
Come together all at once with a crash of ions
Different halves of the brain think about itself
Try to sustain
Can't sustain this form
Anymore
Can't sustain

We all wash up
We all wash up someday
And I'll wash up
And I'll wash up someday
We all wash up
We all wash up someday
And I'll wash up
And I'll wash up someday

Every river everywhere
Well, it's just the ocean
And the sky is still the air
No matter where you're staring from
It's just a speck on the surface of the real pond
It's just a speck on the surface of the feelings that we're feeling
It's just a speck on the surface of the ocean

We all wash up
We all wash up someday
And I'll wash up
And I'll wash up someday
We all wash up
We all wash up someday
And I'll wash up
And I'll wash up someday
We all wash up
We all wash up someday
And I'll wash up
And I'll wash up someday
We all wash up
We all wash up someday
And I'll wash up
And I'll wash up someday
