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 |
