sargasso

i think about my feelings but my feelings are neutral
try to hold my thoughts but my thoughts are virtual
love me for myself, but wait- love is so personal
try to be real but im so commercial

her shoes are antique and the height is criminal
caught my left eye so i figured its concieveable
thinkin about your legs and the thinking is delectable-
all laid out on a new leater sectional!

shes ever so kind and she treasures my heart
she says im not as pretty as i am in the dark
lord only knows why we havent yet done it,
but it will come or we will become it



august liquor

the chains on the gate and the grass' all yellow
early breakfast makes it hard on a fellow
all stacked up and its ready to go
but the things that i want i cant want anymore

you are the lynchpin of destiny- dont vex me
mmm, i wanta know i can feel it- so do it with gumption
extry-sensitive underwater marriage
silk coach in a first-class carriage
at the eastern stairs and ive swept them
i cant take the pilows since you left them

they have gone under the roof-tree now
deep in the fields of the southern wilds

theyve gone into the high grass, and the underwood
shes a real kung-fu apricot probably shouldnt

i shall never let it go- number that i dont even know
i shall never let it go- number that i dont even know

youre bored but i wanna be rascal
shes bored but i wanna be rascal

youre bored but i wanna be rascal
shes bored but i wanna be rascal

they have gone under the roof-tree now
deep in the fields of the southern wilds

theyve gone into the high grass, and the underwood...



bridge, destroy, overcome

what more can i do for you? let me fun around and try something new
out past all of the things that you heard,
i wanna fun around and try something new
i wanta surprise you- why dont you finally tell me whats inside you?
how long has our love been bleeding?
(validation about what i been feeling)

help me bridge, destroy, overcome- whatever lies between us
help me bridge, destroy, overcome- all that stands between us
help me bridge, destroy, overcome- whatever lies between us
help me bridge, destroy, overcome... overcome

despite all the shit that the sages say, nothing ever goes away
from early dawn till the end of day- ill be yours till you give me away

what more can i do for you? let me fun around and try something new
out past all of the things that you heard,
i wanna fun around and try something new
i wanta surprise you- why dont you finally tell me whats inside you?
how long has our love been bleeding?
(validation about what i been feeling)

help me bridge, destroy, overcome- whatever lies between us
help me bridge, destroy, overcome- all that stands between us
help me bridge, destroy, overcome- whatever stands between us
help me bridge, destroy, overcome... overcome



country air

out in the country air, we'll make the company stare...
smiling and laughing like we're going somewhere.
she say, 'theres only one thing that i want in this life-
its for you and me to go for a ride on your bike'

eleven o'clock and ive had two beers
figured id have myself a peaceful new years'
but then my heart starts to ring like a paranoid bell-
and i wonder who youre gonna be kissing at twelve

i dont have so many friends
and theres no excuse for the shape im in
whats the difference between yes and no?
what it is is what it is: not to have a place to go



hills and seas

dont hold it against me- if your heart fits mine like a glove
dont hold it against me, my love

when i see the saints and they ask me, ill say 'it went fine'
but there is one lone regret- i could not make her mine

teach all the lovers to love me, before im through...
ill teach all the lovers to love me like you do



locked out

fucked up and the beds all empty-
now and then someone comes along and befriends me.
theyre pleased but how can i care
if, bad girl, youre not there?

why keep it inside, what if i wanted to try
the love that made you have dreams
about what you want me to try.
i know that you know- i never could see
all of the pictures you made
about what you want me to be.
how can i arrive if youre not by my side?
locked out, and the feeling is cold.

damn- i got nowhere to go.
mama told me that a heard would find
no love beyond the front door,
as i was looking back i said "ill keep that in mind"
the flannel grey and stormy blue
afternoons in bamboo rooms,
all tuckered out after 16 rounds-
answers the door in her shirt unbound.

think of how i said please,
please baby show it to me.
theres so much more of the You
than what you want me to see.

how can i arrive if youre not by my side?
locked out and the feeling is cold.

locked out and the feeling is cold...
but thats the meaning of 'Soul'



it all comes back to me

images of night in the glare of the afterlife
free cigarettes and sex at a bargain price
littered with dreams that you didnt remember
sold me your heart on the 9th of september
would that we were on the boat that we traveled
boneless, like cactus embedded in gravel
lost on the stairs where the heart never goes
in old wooden shoes as the submarine whistle blows
sing to me, muse- of a time barely new
caught up in frequency, stripped of all truth
take all my charms, squander them recklessley
let it all go away because it all come back to me

'i am drunk, but of such a draught that never can the influence fade'
one night we will descend into the region of mystery,
happy is he who can penetrate the hidden causes of things



shot

here goes, im gonna take my shot
my heart is full like a parking lot
youre not sure if im for real or not
and the fishermen know me but ive never been caught

oh, baby in our future
i picture you in the gown that suits you
& all of the little things youre whispering

eight by eight the dancers sway
weaving their steps till the poets say,
'man, it aint over yet-
gotta butch up and win this bet'

green tea and a couple of calls
not on your cell, but the one on the wall
new shoes but you havent got cab fare
where you want to go and how bad i want to be there
theres a fountain in the park- you and me and two cigarettes in the dark
why dontcha tell me all the names of your friends?

mmm, but youre pretty as a picture
(mind you dont sit here)
sunlight- its starting to rain



come see me

moon in the sky, moon on the river
ducks where the reeds grow
wind in the east, making me shiver
moon in the sky, moon on the river

wont you come see me?
wont you come see me?
wont you come see me?
wont you come see me?

if you try- ill keep my eye on you
when you smile- im the one who feels it, too
if you die- i would still try to find you
when you cry im the one whos thinking of you

wont you come see me?
wont you come see me?
wont you come see me?
wont you come see me?

theres no real way out of this love....



what is rock

it aint so bad how the prarrie grass bends,
out here where there are no graves for living mens
but how much lovelier it would be, to think youre waiting there for me-
and slowly take the record off

she been saying dilligent things to me
calling me 'halberg' and doing some things to me
oaks and rivers house the pixies, but i must sleep where love has placed me
and always kick the covers off
