Last words,
Never look down,
Don't look down.
Tightrope,
Skywalk,
Damn that high wire

Dropped like a cannonball
We know you never fall
You've been saved

Rest stop,
Car bomb,
Blasted maps all wrong

Walk like a dinosaur.
Some say we were never there.
You and me

The Funambulists

When we were younger,
out on the ribbons,
counting thunder,
between the blankets.
All that lightning seems so far away.

Come and get me,
Weeping Willow.
Take me with you,
under the pillows.
Every finger seems so far away.

I remember,
jumping fences,
sweet Melissa,
wherever she is.
Wherever she is seems so far away.

At the bottom,
of the deep end.
Underwater,
I've been thinking...
Let the animals take care of me.
So I say

I will earn my keep before I leave,
and I'll rest my debt.
Let the cold rain fall on my head.
I will not get wet.
I will not be damned.
I will not behave.
Till the salt and spit,
from these crooked lips,
separate and blow,
all the windows out.
Then away I go,
with a bird's eye view,
and electric shock,
and cicada songs.
When the lights go out,
and the lights come on.
Weeping Willow on my tongue.

WEEPING WILLOW

I Smell Smoke In My House

When sun can fit through the shade,
the dust projection it leaves,
makes you reach like a fool,
for tiny stars in the room.

And when the roof hits the floor,
and fingers catch in the door,
it makes the audience scream,
but it's just a movie you're in.

Am I blue? Aren't you?
Is it late as it seems?
If I say "Don't wait,"
then I'm blue as you

Send December away.
Send the wind back to May.
The cold can get to your teeth.
Just like the sting of a bee.
Cold can get to you teeth.

And so you think to yourself.
"It's back to normal I guess."
Then the sun makes you sneeze,
just when you pull down the shade.

Am I blue?  Aren't you?
Is it late as it seems?
If I say "Don't wait,"
Then I'm blue as you
