I know it looks nice on you
And I don’t want to kill the mood
But isn’t that the same dress you were in when you left
Are you sure you want to wear that dress to my funeral
It’s all a blur when I’m with her
Do you really need to remember me that way
Do you really want to wear that dress
Just so you can wear your Sunday best
Just so you can show your sunburnt neck 
Even when you’re freezing to death
In my defense I didn’t think you’d come
Do you really want to wear your best to my funeral
Now we’re going around the subject now
Now you’re tearing your dress apart
If you’re tearing it apart, are you tearing me apart

Prayer Cards

When I was a kid I would scavenge along the beach
Sifting through the plastic and rubber scraps on my knees
Every piece of discarded detritus held a seed
For me to construct any number of fantasies

I know now I can’t help

That it’s in my nature to wander far with no map
Still I get discouraged when I feel lost on this path

I know now not to doubt

Cuz I’ve got the cards to show you
Many saints were also vagrants
Yes I’ve got the cards to show you
Vagabonds yet venerated

I recall when I was once very young my mom say
That I’m kindred to those who simply won’t join the fray
The most perfect marriage of these she’d call a homeless priest 

I know what I can’t help
So I know not to doubt

Cuz I’ve got the cards to show you
Many saints were also vagrants
Said I’ve got the cards to show you
Vagabonds were venerated
Cuz I’ve got the cards to show you 
many saints are also vagrants
Yes I’ve got the cards to show you
Lost and holy integrated

Endless clawing 
through the jungle 
crushing pavement 
Cinders raining 
flaming 
punctured dreams
