All sunk down a failing sun.
All sunk down a failing sun.

Oh please be 
mine
every time

All sunk down her battered love.
All sunk down her battered love.

Oh please be 
mine
every time


All sunk down beneath these days.
All sunk down beneath these days.


Oh please be 
mine
every time

Ballad of a lonely senator


Your kingdom come.
In parking lots
with fevered glances
and awful plots.

Your kids they know now
just what you’ve done.

The briefcase stolen
it’s time to run.

Oh now your story is almost done.

& in Wisconsin
a villain sleeps

With shredded letters between 
the sheets.

His wife is weeping on CNN.
It’s on to Canada
to try again.

Oh now your story is almost done.



I feel like no one gets me.
Taxpayers insouciant eyes.
At the trial I miss my mother.

These cameras always lie.


Now death is calling.
You hear it too.
I seek forgiveness
only from you.

The train tracks wailing my desperate plea.
When this is over.

Remember me.

Oh now your story is almost done.

Ballad of a lonely senator

Three


Well, I want one last chance to say I don't like you
 before I run off to another coast.

Where are those hungry hooligans from Virginia,
the ones you're into, that you love the most?

Who are these gonna be wanna be never nothings,
always bluffing on the radio?

Well, over my, under my, through my dead body,
there's a party for another ghost,

so if you need me,,,

I'll be outside tap dancing over the ocean
where my boat sunk, I'll be glad to drown,

and I'll be naked on the freeway headed
to the West coast. I'll be smiling in another 
town, dead.

Don't you, don't think you can take and leave me 
when you need me for a brighter day.

All of those times we walked barefoot through
McDonalds every stupid trial. I'm throwing them away.


Chorus repeat

My Father’s Eyes



So I’m dead just like my father’s eyes.
Stole a kiss from Miriam.
I’m blighted as your marriage bed.
You can taste the poison on my tongue.

I don’t want this anymore.
I don’t like the person I’ve become.

I don’t want this anymore.
I don’t like the person you’ve become.

So I’m lost just like my mother’s voice.
Waited there for Miriam.
I’m blighted as your lover’s words.
You can taste the poison on her tongue.


I don’t want this anymore.
I don’t like the person I’ve become.

I don’t want this anymore.
I don’t like the person you’ve become.

So I’m dead just like my father’s eyes.
Stole a kiss from Miriam.
I’m blighted as your marriage bed.
You can taste the poison on my tongue.

My father's eyes

A meaningless awful life or a meaningful awesome light




Caution by the conveyor belt, these senseless gears have mouths that yawned and swallowed 
Julie.

Kiss me death like the antidote to all the wrong I've done. I'm gone. Please call back later.

All my friends are in Canada or in the glacial past. Who cares. They're not my friends now.

Empty shelves became microphones, the night I watched you leave. You leave, and the walls start singing out,

"It's a meaningless awful life, it's a meaningless awful life. I'll share, if you want some."

"It's a meaningless awful life, it's a meaningless awful life. I'll share, if you want some."

If you want some.

If you want some.

Careful dear by your mother's arms, the emptiness you like might flee your cheap apartment walls

all bare like a metaphor for your suicidal nights. You'll see the sunlight crashing in
and it's a meaningful awesome light, a meaningful awesome light, I'll share if you want some.
and it's a meaningful awesome light, a meaningful awesome light, I'll share if you want some.

If you want some.

Caution by the conveyor belt these senseless gears have mouths that yawned and swallowed Julie,,,

It's a meaningless awful life, it's a meaningless awful life. I'll share, if you want some and it's a meaningful awesome light, a meaningful awesome light, I'll share if you want some.

A meaningless awful life and a meaningful awesome light

History minus time


So I'm on the porch with my grandson 
I'm wheezing through smoke rings,

You're on my mind.

As a death rattle crawls 
up the frail cage of my bones
even then

you're on my mind.
2x

Let the wine bottles sing
a deafening song of lies I like to hear
even then,

You're on my mind.
3x

Now I'm trapped in this womb
with a darkness that's better than light
even then 

You're on my mind.

Now they're burying me
and this coffin bleeds each word I write,
even then,

you're on my mind.
3x

Lesbians and Tarot cards


While lesbians with Tarot Cards guide me through a Springfield dark still I don't mind your distant arms. I know I did you wrong.

Vacant as I've ever been. My nightmare starts where you begin, construction noise and slaughtered wind. I know I did you wrong.

Enraptured by my drunken smile you rest upon my lips a while, but I choose symmetry and distant miles. I know I did you wrong.

Oh no! With my fiction and my vanished rent. I laugh myself to sleep tonight.

Singing oh no to oblivion and my childhood gone. I laugh myself to sleep tonight yes I laugh myself to sleep tonight.

These empty dim suburban nights, the infinite I'm not alright. I don't mind it. I won't fight. I know I did you wrong.

Enraptured by my drunken smile you rest upon my lips a while, but I choose symmetry and distant miles. I know I did you wrong.

Oh no! With my fiction and my vanished rent. I laugh myself to sleep tonight.

Singing oh no to oblivion and my childhood gone. I laugh myself to sleep tonight yes I laugh myself to sleep tonight.

I know I did you wrong. (repeat)
