smoky eyed it whispers in your funnel ears sucker footed oh its a wonder bats could even fly

wonderfully loose
poison ivy you can't speak another crystal pitted peach ill advised she takes another bite in between her yellow teeth the juice drips down this starlings cheek lies down on the grass beneath the sky
wonderfully loose i feel
wonderfully loose

distant i see you two silhouettes drifting side to side in and out like the rising tide almost comes to close then slips away a firefly comes floating into frame could i ever really know you that way
the kind of interactions nasa is always backing out of don't want to get too attached try not to get too involved
no problem don't mention it let it go its forgotten
its christmas day oh how could you forget wish lists all falling from the ceiling fan they spin like the blades round and round almost cuts your throat then lets you go saints sleigh cascades into the window frame the reindeer try so hard but they can not fly nicholas will have to sip this milk inside tonight i hope he brought that bicycle i really like i asked him twice i know i should i been too good
no problem don't mention it let it go its forgotten
when life is right a lifetime can feel just like a minute tonight I'm really in it I'm trying to stay with it
you don't have to say a word and i don't have to say a thing we are both looking at the world we are both in disbelief i can't imagine my life being only mine oh once you're out yeah so am i this parties gone into over time and I'm already dead a kiss on the forehead
no problem don't mention it let it go its forgotten

have you changed enough have you stayed in love have you changed enough for you
well it goes over and over and over again i know its hard to be someones friend when you are on the other side of the world
girl
have you changed enough so that people find you desirable and honorable but you know thats bullshit you're with it but you're vulnerable thats the ticket
when you fall in love
no one knows for certain
draw a bath and close the curtain
when your hurting'
you can hold your favorite person
have you changed enough have you stayed in love have you changed enough for you
the skies are laughing and the overture plays
I've been awfully bashful i hope that you'll stay
tonight ill be yours and tomorrow you'll be mine, today
tonight ill be yours and tomorrow you'll be mine, today

climate change she moves in mysterious ways
should we be preparing for the ice age?
cause if so i hope a woolly mammoth can be easily tamed and trained to let me ride him or her and give him or her a name
even a tiny doodle is sweet
blue mary, don't you cry
your eyes roll down your cheek
into your brazier, let me make it real clear
my intentions are the worst they could possibly be but am i an asshole?
yup.
and those old schemes only work on rotten apples honey ill make due once you do you're incredible
climate change she moves in mysterious ways
should we be preparing for the ice age?
cause if so i hope a woolly mammoth can be easily tamed and trained to let me ride him or her and give him or her a name
hey you people getting frisky in the junkyard you don't know what time it is and you don't know how many cellphones you have? how do you use all the millions of cellphones you have do you super glue your cellphone to your hand? do you superglue your socks to your blue jeans
whats it all really about? baby? whats life really about? you put your right brain in and you shake it all about really what life all about is avoiding those tomatoes, avoiding those tomatoes, avoiding those tomatoes til you die

i am walking on the freeway
over the open water
and I'm talking with leroy
about his second oldest daughter
and i feel like jumping
into the open water
and then leroy he jumped right
into the open water
and the sun shines down on the open water
and sparkles on the waves
like a fireworks display, like a fireworks display
and the fractured light she dances
like a woman yes she sways
you look beautiful today
like a fireworks display
we are seahorses
i know you wanted to be the one to have our little baby boy but I'm the man in this horse marriage and its my job to carry our load its my job to carry him home i know what its like to be on your in the middle of the deep blue sea alone with no one to talk to me
how could any body really think they're here when clearly were all everywhere
were in the air, were on the mountain, up in the clouds and
over over the open water

where did you learn to forget like that?
so easy and painless
so aimless and fast
who taught you to forget like that?
your hands hiding your mouth
your back laid on the grass
each blade lays softly on your arm
each blade is white is grey is black
this favorite photograph
was taken in the middle of your laugh
every clean sheet morning together forever
every rainy day car ride every windshield reflection silent by your side
the cement basements smoke and the thoughts you prove every soft blossom breeze in every word that you spoke my pretend angle don't let it brief
