Start with your fingers they finger the change
that carries you home in our evening
you're bee stung there.
Press your palm to your snow-coated thought cage
carries me over your thinking
you're bee stung there.
Between the tall buildings are snow-coated alleys
between us is nothing but grace
snow rides the wind down and drives past the window
falling over your face I fly out the window
and then ride the wind down
you fit me into my place
you're bee stung here.
Start with your eyes when they eye me in twilight
picking up pieces of mine
Tie me up with twine in your eyelight
string me from heaven to time you bee stung.
Between the tall buildings are snow-coated alleys
between us is nothing but grace
help me up when you hear me behind you falling
all over the place it's not too late.

I could get a piece of meat
From a barren tree
Nothing ever spoiled on me
You brought this
You dipshit
Nothing ever spoiled on me
That cloud stomps around my house
Does whatever it pleases
It teases me
What the hell?
Never was a baritone
Till you stepped in
Never dried my halters
On the line
This hairdo's truly evil
I'm not sure it's mine
You're so tall
It's like I climb a waterfall
That cloud stomps around my house
Does whatever it pleases
It teases me
What I said was get me a drink
Alright?
What am I supposed to sit
And look at you all night?
All girls cry
Like I said,
I don't kow why
That cloud stomps around my house
Does whatever it pleases
It teases me
What the hell?
Never was a baritone
Till you stepped in
Never dried my halters
On the line
This hairdo's truly evil
I'm not sure it's mine
You're so tall
It's like I climb a waterfall

You can't get any more sunshine
I can't get over how it rains down
Oh no no no.
You can't get any more sunshine
you can't get any more broken down
Oh no no no.
Is the car parked downtown
leave it while the sun beats down
we can walk and walk and walk
walk and walk and walk.
You can't get any more sunshine
barefoot while the heat rains down
Oh no no no.
There's nothing I forgot
I left that paper heart where it belonged
who it belonged to,
I never knew I never never knew.
Paper burns and my heart melts
when I tear at you.
Sun drops down down now now now now.

Oh no, don't you put me in that box
You know what you can do with those locks
Bet your life I'll come crawling out again
You'll have to deal with me then
You'll hear me on the wind
I've been on the other side of the Blue Ridge
Seen the Shenandoah rolling there
I stepped off the mountains edge
Just to climb the golden stair
I seen the streets up there
I been on the mount transfiguration
Been there with my Ma and my Pa
On the mountain of commandment
I been handed down the law
You should have seen what I saw
I fell to the bottom of Thales' well
Caught like a theif with a lamb
You know these stars they can cast a spell
I've been caught with red hands
I've been caught with red hands
I scaled the mountains, skiied the valleys
I've done the highs and the lows
I don't feel like work today
Hell I won't go
Bess I won't go
Just let me at their locks
We should all be free
Oh Bess, i swear I'll call
When I'm free from me
We should all be free

Some store
I'm not going back there anymore
Wandered in
Don't think I'll do that again
No I don't think I'll do that again
I swear
Look at me cross-eyed and I don't know what to do
No I don't know what to do
Crazy loon
There's a room in his pallet
There's a pillow for his head
Sees an offshoot in his bottle
When he wants to see me dead
Heirlooms A loon
Never thought I'd see that silly grin
Never thought I'd see that fool again
Never thought I'd love that lunatic
Nothing left to dance around
What a hero
What a black and blue bird
What a loon, A loon
What a loon, A loon

Velvet Days
You make your little way
Pouring rain Make that face
You make my little day
I laugh till my heart drops
Down deep
You break your little freak
We break don't we break don't we
Blush and knock your knees
That's your girl breathing
I laugh till my heart stops
Hold your shark skin thing
That's your boy breathing
I laugh till my heart stops
Blush and breathe
I laugh till I can't see
Down deep you break your little creep
Listen blush and breathe
That's your soul kissing
I laugh

You can't make it
You can't cry
You can't make it home tonight
It's to far to walk
To your goddamn van
It's too hard to come by your hand
Drunk on nothing
Drunk all night
Mad at nothing
Close your eyes
You could run on iron lungs
It would not keep you clean
Run on iron lungs
It would not keep you sons of bitches clean
You think that they don't shatter you
You think that till they go
You think that they don't comfort you
Now go home
You can walk in moonlight
You can dance inside
You can dance in moonlight
Close your eyes
Stop, you ruined all my memories
You ruined all my memories
I wanna catch the falling babies
I'm falling into you
My hair's in your face
Eyes on your eyes
Hands on my back
I can't leave
I can't leave
A guy's asking questions about me
My hands are full of straw
I'm sliding really fast
My hands are full of snow
I don't understand
I don't understand puzzles
I can't breathe
Close your eyes

You can come back
When you want
Just know that I'll be here
I haven't left this step
And when the lights go out
I pick the angel up
I only have two hands...
Is she here?
Is she here right now?
Drive her off
Don't bother to call
I'm checking out today
Me and my charms
Me and my charms
When I kiss the angel
I have a taste of you
When I take the angel
I have a piece of you
I have a piece
I have a piece
You can come back
I haven't left you yet
And when the lights go out
I pick the angel up
I only have two left feet
All I have in my hands
All I have in my hands
Me and my charms
Me and my charms
When I kiss the angel
I have a taste of
Me and my charms
Me and my charms
Down on the ground
You can't leave me now
You can't leave me now
I haven't left you yet

When you sleep you tell me off
I told you once before
I can't resist you
When I sleep I build you up
I make you king of here
I can't resist you
I can't wait...
I'll suck down another water
While I wait
I watch the clock turn blue
And think of you while I wait
I can't wait
The moon shines through my dress
And through my glass
I promise not to drink
Until you're home
I can't wait..
The moon pales even when
I thinks it holds the face
Of the clock I watch for you
While I wait
I can't wait...

September 29, 1984 Dear so and so
Gather me up because I'm lost
Or I'm back where I started from
I'm crawling on the floor
Rolling on the ground
I might cry I won't go home
So here's the story
I am turning up in circles
And I'm spinning on my knuckles
Don't forget that there are circles left undone
And very close to me
Forgive me Comfort me
I'm crawling on the floor Rolling on the ground
There's a blanket wrapped around my head
I'm moving in a line that's shaped like this
I'm holding in my breath I have a room
Can you tell if I am lying
Don't forget that I'm living inside
The space where walls and floor meet
There's a box inside my chest
An animal stuffed with my frustration
Can you hear me?
Don't forget that I'm alone when you're away
You make me act like other people do
Forgive me Comfort me You comfort me
You make me die I'm gonna cry I won't go home
Don't kill the god of sadness
Just don't let her get you down
See that man inside that book I read
Can't handle his own head
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
I'd like to know how he died
My hands are shaking
Don't you love me anymore
I only need a person, keep my shoulders
Stand around lie down
Move your hand above the floor
Gather me up because I'm lost
Or I'm back where I started from
I'm crawling on the floor
Rolling on the ground
I'm gonna cry You look for me
Love Kristin, P.S. keep them coming

Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She wobbles when she flies
She don't ever hire a cuckoo
Till the fourth day of july
Jack of diamonds
Jack of diamonds
I know you of old
You rob my poor pockets of silver and gold
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
I wish that seh was mine
She don't ever drink water
She only drinks wine
Gonna build me a log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see willy
When he goes on by
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She wobbles when she flies
She don't ever hire a cuckoo
Till the fourth day of july

Rocking on the ocean
Sucking up the sea
Every bird flies over me
We have hips and makers
We have a good time
I married a boxer to keep me from fighting
I married a brewer to keep me from drinking
We have a good time
They keep me dancing
Finally it's alright
It's alright
Finally it's alright
It's alright
