i was walking down an alleyway
just the day after yesterday
looked up and saw the moon like a stop sign in the sky
when the billboards get too big to read
and all your money's spent on things you'll need
go to work where you're supposed to be
get home and you're too tired to sleep
your uncle's too stupid now to speak
your aunt's too tall for you to see
your brother's too busy rakin leaves
your other brother's shaken all the trees
your lover's not who you thought he or she would be
and same with all the other fish in the sea
well there's none so blind as those who will not see
it looks like we'll be frozen here a long time
and all on our frozen fathers' dimes
facebooks and novels and the grocery line
everybody's gonna be doing just fine
well, that's all good but i got this idea of mine
and nobody's giving me any light
like buried bones
and the stars at night
i'm sorry to interrupt this lovely song, but i'm afraid we're going to have to ask everyone to leave. we've just discovered that poison gas is leaking from the old mines and for your own safety we're evacuating the town.
~
learning licking lips from just a site
morning's misses mists frost not bite
and nobody's given you a light
just the math of the day
just the stars at night
and when you're sleeping in your car make sure the window's down
when you're sleeping with someone makes sure the window's down
don't let anyone turn me around
when you're staring up at the smoky air
staring up every skirt i wear
got leaves and candy stuck in your hair
giving all your friends angry stares
and so on and so on...
