Sight unseen, sadder seas
Summer song sung all along Dragged across the seven seas To the beach come follow me Summer's gone a summer song You've wasted every day, every day Cellophane, a grandma's town Summer's letters on the ground Seven pins, the fall begins When the leaves burn, summer ends Summer's gone a summer song You've wasted every day, every day Summer's gone, can't wipe it off my hands Write it in the sand, in the sand Where've my heroes gone today? Mick and Keith and Willie Mays Broken windows trails outside I can take you for a ride Summer's gone a summer song You've wasted every day, every day Summer's gone, can't wipe it off my hands Write it in the sand, in the sand In the sand Summer's gone a summer song You've wasted every day, every day Summer's gone, can't wipe it off my hands Write it in the sand, in the sand In the sand In the sand In the sand In the sand |

Watch an eyeball
Take a free fall At the mention of a name In its socket And like a rocket Rises just the same Could my eyelids (could my eye) Cover what I did The shuttin of the door And could these ceilings Contain my feelings Me down on the floor Jerked my fountain Ice cream mountains I suppose I'm just too late Form a line here Think I'll die here These people nauseate me But if my patience Were a spaceship High up in orbit I would rise here Hypnotized here Risen from where I sit A solid angle My legs do dangle Off the counter's edge Soft words spoken Promises broken I Close my eyes instead But could my eyelids Cover what I did The shuttin' of the door Could these ceilings Contain my feelings Me down on the floor Me down on the floor Me down on the floor Me down on the floor |

Sister can you hear me now
The ringing in your ears I'm down on the ground My luck's been dry for years I'm lost in the dark And I feel like a dinosaur Broken face and broken hands I'm a broken man I've hit the wall I'm about to fall But I'm closing in on it I feel so weak On a losing streak Watch my taillights fade to black I read a thing about this girl She was a hermit in her world Her story was much like mine She could be my valentine And although we've never met I won't forget her yet She cut herself off from her past Now she's alone at last I feel so sick Lost love's last licks But I'm closing down on it I feel so weak On a losing streak Watch my taillights fade to black Lost my life in cheap wine Now it's quiet time Cappy Dick nor Jesus Christ Could not help my fate But I'm underneath a gun I'm singing about my past Had myself a wonderful thing But I could not make it last I've hit the wall I'm about to fall But I'm closing in on it I feel so small Underneath it all Watch my taillights fade to black ..Watch my taillights fade ..Watch my taillights fade ..Watch my taillights fade |

All spangled up, glittering on
There's a monster in the kitchen - his lights's turned on Thanks for coming - it meant a lot But you sure do know how to put me on the spot You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green You came into the kitchen - a rose held high I never want to see young flowers die And hearing all that made me feel like a spy To tell you any different would be to lie You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green "Merry Christmas" you said to me Empty drawers - nothing left for me We turned around now and what did we see? All our whispers and transparencies You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green So green So green So green |

Seasons change and I have found you
Looks like you've been here a long time Looks like you're here to stay And I reason that that's O.K. When though, when will you be leaving Way up in the trees Afloat on the seas I can't afford your voice But I have no choice Your hurt drizzles forth twice nightly And I once held on to you so tightly You were made of wood And cried 'cause no one understood But I had splinters in my fingers Tears well in my eyes No surprise Washed swiftly from the sands Into my hands Into my hands Tree house, your mind is like a tree house I climb up the shaky ladder Your bird flies with you With claws of orange hue And I watch you flying over my head You could not care less So you got more Like driftwood from the shore You were rotten to the core Rotten to the core Yeah seasons change Seasons change Seasons change... |

When I sleep is when you rise
Get out of bed wipe the sleep from your eyes I shut my eyes - all the world drops dead Now's the time friend of mine With a passage to A passage from Your daily missal We taught that Cat to crawl When I sleep is when you rise Get out of bed wipe the sleep from your eyes My heart and soul are in your hands Now's the time friend of mine With a passage to A passage from Your daily missal We taught that Cat to crawl Now's the time friend of mine And now's the time friend of mine |

You have spoken
The photo's fading And nothing is going right A shooter's hand To turn a cheek to A cough in an empty room at night Leaves are eyes That look inside A secret society Here's victory now if That's what you're into Just take it away from me "May God strike me dead" she shouted from her bed I said "Look at your mouth It's bleeding now and so all pours out Too easily you choose My version of the truth When all I ask of you Is send me a postcard when you get there" A monkey's tooth A lukewarm bath A stray dog out in the driveway Here's Albany in a photo finish Just wipe the dust away "May God strike me dead" she shouted from her bed I said "Look at your mouth It's bleeding now and so all pours out Too easily you choose My version of the truth When all I ask of you Is send me a postcard when you get there" Yeah, when you get down there Send me a postcard Yeah, when you get down there Wherfore art thou Johnny Carson? Retired and never coming back A backroom basement A sixty watt bulb There's nothing that I lack "May God strike me dead" she shouted from her bed I said "Look at your mouth It's bleeding now and so all pours out Too easily you choose My version of the truth When all I ask of you Is send me a postcard when you get there" Yeah, when you get down there Send me a postcard Yeah, when you get down there Send to me a postcard from anywhere Send to me a postcard from anywhere Send to me a postcard from anywhere |

Breathless from the coffee I drop my newspaper down
And left my eyeballs to read about some other town Your blueberry flu and message at breakfast was nice But when you shoot your mouth off expect to pay the price She's a tangerine Made in California She's a soul fillet Just a little haiku To say how much I like you And sap your sex away Your tarpaper skin and visible beating heart Your words on the paper sure gave me a start Your huckleberry flu and one plus one is you So if I can't be me, well I might as well be with you She's a tangerine Made in California Need a soul fillet Baby cry your eyes out Baby dry your eyes out Burn your life away When the day came to an end you bounced right back again Watch an evening news show the L.A. blues again Your California sunshine sure gives me a sweat And your tangerine nectar's a taste I won't forget She's a tangerine Made in California She's a soul fillet ??? cry your eyes out Sister dry your eyes out Burn your life away It's just a little Haiku To say how much I like you It's just a little Haiku To say how much I like you It's just a little Haiku |

Waited for an answer
But I waited for twenty five years They stopped my bleeding But could never stop all these tears I waited for the day when You came out from beneath all that weight I tried to lift it But it seems I got there too Late Just to late Just to late Cause I'm allowed Came to the party But I got my own signals crossed Thought I was welcome But I felt like I should get lost I know that I'm older Cause I feel that everywhere I could talk to no one Cause I knew not one person There No one's there They just stare But they're allowed As vivid as a car wreck Watch them dripping off highway ramps She came to me smiling Her heart underneath both her hands She spoke of a French boy At least two times through the night It could have been the liquor Or the music but that is All right That's all right She's allowed I'm allowed I'm allowed I'm allowed |

I'm out, I'm out in bushes
Playing, playing with plastics Birdbrain, they say I'm a birdbrain If I am then can I just fly away Shoe straps and eyelashes washing my brain Twenty-five years are just washed down the drain They are, they are a drunken bird Flying, into the windows Birdbrain, they say I'm a birdbrain If I am then can I just fly away Shoe straps and eyelashes washing my brain Twenty-five years are just washed down the drain Shoe straps and eyelashes washing my brain Twenty-five years are just washed down the drain If I am then can I just fly away |

Here she comes across the street
But I'm already there downstairs to meet with her She could make my life complete But I'm already there to compete with her Climb aboard my velvet roof And smile showing me one golden tooth A simple gesture yes or no Would have been enough to let me know Scraggly hair and messed up shoes I'm looking all around for you Find you in the corner bar But you can't find the keys to your car She's as sharp as a razor blade But she could cut my wrists open just the same Softer than my velvet floor Gatherin' up the veil and going home Scraggly hair and messed up shoes I'm looking all around for you Find you in the corner bar But you can't find the keys to your car She's as sharp as a razor blade But she could cut my wrists open just the same Softer than my velvet floor Gatherin' up the veil and going home Hey man what's the matter with Hey man what's the matter with you Hey man what's the matter with Hey man what's the matter with you Hey man what's the matter with Hey man what's the matter with you Hey |

Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I'm quite happy with what I got People might say that I should strive for more, But I'm so happy I can't see the point. Somethings happening here today A show of strength with your boy's brigade And I'm so happy and you're so kind You want more money, of course I don't mind To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes And the public gets what the public wants But I want nothing this society's got I'm going underground (going underground) Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound Going underground (going underground) Well let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow Some people might get some pleasure out of hate Me, I've enough already on my plate People might need some tension to relax Me, I'm too busy dodging between the flak What you see here is what you get You've made your bed, you better lie in it You choose your leaders and place your trust As their lies wash you down and their promises rust You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns And the public wants what the public gets But I don't get what this society wants I'm going underground (going underground) Well let the brass bands play and feet start to pound Going underground (going underground) So let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow We talk and talk until my head explodes I turn on the news and my body froze These braying sheep on my TV screen Make this boy shout, make this boy scream Going underground, I'm going underground I'm going underground, I'm going underground These braying sheep on my tv screen... Make this boy shout, make this boy scream... Going underground (going underground) Well let the brass band play and feet start to pound Going underground (going underground) Well let the boys all sing, and the boys all shout Going underground (going underground) Well let the brass band play and feet go pow pow pow Going underground (going underground) So let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout..... .....for tomorrow |

The autumn leaves
Me here without a tooth You've given me the shaft My friend's car's breaking down And I've got no ride home And I'm left out The apes in the evergreens The grape leaves and jasmine tea Comforts you, without me Without me And I am none the wiser for it all Your voice is shaky on the telephone call You ride your little Pinto in the rain And you stall out With no one to give you a jump Just hook your cables to me And then you'll see That I can start you up That I can start you up It's closing time in town There's not a soul around To see you when you're down To see you when you're down And I am none the wiser for it all Your voice is shaky on the telephone call You ride your little Pinto in the rain When I think of all you've done Take your Pinto for a run I see you're the wiser one You're the wiser one, you're the wiser one When I think of all we've done And the rain soaks up the sun I see we're the wiser ones We're the wiser ones, we're the wiser ones And you know you're beholden To no one but me And you know you're beholden To no one but me Drive back Drive back Drive back Drive back Drive back Drive back When I think of all you've done Take your Pinto for a run I see you're the wiser one You're the wiser one, you're the wiser one When I think of all we've done And the rain soaks up the sun I see we're the wiser ones We're the wiser ones, we're the wiser ones When I think of all you've done Take your Pinto for a run I see you're the wiser one You're the wiser one When I think of all we've done And the rain soaks up the sun I see we're the wiser ones We're the wiser ones When I think of all you've done Take your Pinto for a run I see you're the wiser one You're the wiser one |
