flightless bird
fly closer to me fall far from the tree
i know you won't play nice
it's the cracks in the ceiling each time you get clipped
the beast is losing his gall
cluck twice like a rooster sit tall in your booster
and every egg's so small
pull aside from the office you decide when to open say aah
shapes circle us all
simmer on through the river straight across in the winter
hates the weather in the fall
when you can't seem to shiver it's a bitch you can't deliver
you're looking more like a squirrel
could chew right through you nibble on at your ego
wipe your mouth trail on
what a shame to miss your elbow it's a bridge straight to hell so
you left your pants at home
it's the most common nightmare shiver on in your underwear
a big cactus below
though its thighs make me tremble i can take a gallon of blood to go
and all our plans get blown
into piles of imprecision one more aborted mission
can't keep from slurping your straw
though the sound makes me tickle on the line for the whistle go aah

The Mirror

when all the land's to fold
you're the whale beneath the surface
of a gabardine black hole
it's the camera not the subject
you're the noose around the neck of all the dogs walking divas
making all the folks at home think they're right to keeping perfect
it's the wheels that ache to roll of every mission, fated conquest
singing every deal in blood i'm wishing all the taxis tripping
stumble drunks across the wall, take your pick there's no wrong answers
speak the truth but say it slow, leaving room for jokes and farces
man the whole class stays afloat, the expense of cops and teachers
please don't wear your favorite shirt, i'm the only one who likes it
plaid is so far out of style it's the mirror that cheats on thursday
leading all the rest at one, thinking all the burns before me

one way
valet
to the green lights in la
keep the people
off the train
now sunset's one way
see the beach on a clear day
nevermind what you say
you look good, just smile and wave
eating at the studio urth cafe
take the car, just valet
to the green lights in la
where the stars come to stay
now sunset's one way
see the beach on a clear day

Iron Clad Chords

skin your fur coat, see the power of my pillow
packed with piles of dried leaves, green, red and blue
found a dollar on the sidewalk, reach out and taste it
feel the light under my soles, untied in glee
i hear a far siren, the hum of your zipper
your clock may be broken, but the sun still shines red
the world’s in your ear, bend down and hear it
lost your ticket to the movie, sneak round the side
i don’t want to be your
friendly sized burden
but when you say jump, I get lost in the sky
there’s a stain on my sweater, the size of an ocean
leaves room for a party, a couple or three
there’s a drop on your raincoat, lay down and drink it
there’s lots to do tomorrow but today is still a friend
last night came your letter
go ahead and burn it
you say your words once, but I’ll hear them again
i heard some sad song, sit down and steal it
with some iron clad chords
that melts just for you
i don’t want to be your
friendly sized villain
it’s just when you speak, that I fall from the sky
the longer your silence, the deeper my pockets
the cold on my cheeks drives the color back inside
there’s a sound in your basement, cower in the closet
stitch a hole in your blanket, sleep through the night
the voice in your head that gets heard round the planet
would wrinkle your face if they knew it was you
i don’t want to be your
people-sized person
it’s just when you speak that I fall through your eye
the longer your silence, the deeper my sorrow
the cold on my cheeks drives the color back inside
there’s a sound in you basement, cower in the closet
stitch a hole in your blanket, sleep through the night
the voice in your head that gets heard ‘round the planet
would wrinkle your face if they knew it was you
found a dollar on the sidewalk, reach out and taste it
feel the light under my soles, untied in glee
i heard some sad song, sit down and steal it
with some iron clad chords that melt just for me

Oh Wednesday I love you
In spite of Christmas Day
My Grandma she writes you
A song in half each day
In season Green Mangos
Atop the hillside bay
I wait for your paper
Time stamps itself away
This weekend we're playing
Two shows in bad display
No practice just sickness
Of what I had to say
