From Mexico with Love

The Hating

For the Birds: The Birdsong Project, Vol. II

Lucifer Hummingbird

You quit the time
You urged to kill
You're travelling with Buffalo Bill
I was vaguely there
I can't complete
I tried to flirt
I puckered up and hit the dirt without a care
What could I do to win attention when I always lose at the fight?
What could I do to stand a chance to stay the night?

CHORUS
Hey Annie I'm still planning to take ya
Hey Annie I'm still inclined to take your hand and try to run
Hey Annie I'm still trying to see ya
Hey Annie there's a whole wide world awaiting for us to have some fun
So Annie get your gun

You drank a shot and then passed out
There's not that much you remember about that wonderful day
You shot your gun
I shot my load
We collapsed upon the open roan
Don't walk away
What could I do to win attention when I fall at the first post?
What could I do to win the heart I crave the most?

So full of fight
But still so fair
I hate it when you are not here
I always do
I'm smitten by your worldly charms so through and through 
What could I do to win attention when I always lose at the fight?
What could I do to stand a chance to stay the night?

CHORUS

Annie Get Your Gun

I don’t know what the words are yet so I’m singing this song so I won’t forget
There’s a feeling I get when I feel this way too long
The melody hits first and then the words they run their course
When they shoot out from my brain across my tongue
And my heart’s in there somewhere 
It’s always thumping pumping air
Well it’s blood I guess but it feels like moving sound
And there’s things around us yet swirling up around our heads
So I feel this close even though we’re so far apart

I don’t know what the words are yet so I’m singing this song so I don’t forget
The feeling I had when I saw you walking by
Caboose trailing on a looping track 
I’m always pulled and always last
You got hitched to an old fling I see her on your arm
Then suddenly Andy started on about Jeremy and all
The messed up party scenes and betraying a real good friend
I was tangled in those lines mesmerized by you and tiny dancer entwined
In the cosmic spin twirling spaghetti warehouse tines

I don’t know what the words are yet but I’m tapping along because I can’t forget
The time and place we tagged and chased and left our marks
I remember our first high school day when my new friend Jeremy
Introduced me to you and your broken limb
Now we’re not running trains through the depo or spray painting factories or boxcar doors
Or breaking into buildings to explore
An adolescent urge to fuck things up while young but old enough to see the demons running
Can’t slow down while they’re gaining ground gnashing at our heels

I don’t know what the words are yet but I’m singing along to an old cassette
I miss the way we spoke and laughed and smoked in the summer air 
Remember driving around with the windows down
The heat rolled in and we sang our lungs out yeah
We know every word and yeah we’re rocking out
Rolling up roll a joint while we roll around the parking lot where Big K stands for Kingdom
In our mainstream college Main Street shopping town
Fuck it all and we got our kicks for free and stole any merchandise we could carry
Guns and clothes and stereos and art supplies

I don’t know what the words are yet but of all the friends I ever left 
I miss you the most
A friendly ghost with heart
We were the kids who ran our town is what it felt like when we were all running around
And we were living in a song
Fade out to a naïve lullaby or electric clock radio’s static cry
Unplugged it screams and wakes me from a dream…

I don’t know what the words are yet but I’m saying this all because I haven’t said
Many things to you like “dead turtle crew for life”
Pumping our fists on the car roof
The night was endless was the honest truth 
But the yolk’s on you and the joke is on me too
We were only egging ourselves on cause nothing good seems to last for very long
Like books and bands and life changing friends
Do it yourself scene you hooked me on but I was self absorbed for way too long 
And I judged you for vices that made you smile
But you had your own weight you were carrying
Man if I could go back I’d change some strings
I think you’re great 
I hope you’re happy now
