Forget about suzanne
she’s with another man
don’t worry about your boy,
he’s got a computer

forget about the role,
it went to some other bloke,
so what you’ll never meet

So long, goodbye, by order of the Pasadena Court
So long, goodbye, 500 milligrams
Held down by a pharmaceutical hand
Are needed everyday, so we can regulate
My uncontrollable urge

Remember me as I was
Too much life and oh, too much love

We set out in tennis shoes,
ski jackets, and driving gloves
we crossed lonely fields of snow,
in early evening the sky heather glowed
in a frozen, dilunar marsh,
we stumbled on wbbr

A substation radio tower

teeny tiny little teens
keep pouring out of my machine
i just typed a word
and i just pressed return
someone made this easy
someone made this inevitible

so for bringing me here

I got your letter with the stamp of Godard
I'll never open it I know how dead we are
The splotches of ink are not tears, they're not blood
And hope our K1's not physical love

The whole mess could sink me again
You stay in Corvisart
I'll stay in bed

Window seats on bullet trains
Smear land into sky
Fear and sorrow coalesce

now I'm trying to find that quiet place
Where living is breathing
Not knowing is understanding
Coming is going

My bed was floating in the ocean
A swarming jellyfish pulled us over the surface
The sun, the sun was crying diamonds
For every broken masthead
And scotch taped sail that passed us by

We hung on, hung on
Two orphan monkeys

How could the killer keep killing
Now that the killer's dead?

The killer's way was known to no one
And the telltale clues are locked
Inside the detective's head

He's been dead for days

Late spring rain, cool purple mist
Strawberries big as a baby's fist
Earth is soft and it yields to pressure
The moon is far too bright to measure

Comets crossing overhead
And I wish that we both were dead

The longer I'm out here
More I forget who I was
The people I’ve hooked up with
They only care about what I become, I become

Forget about my home, forget about D.I.A.L.O
I’ll make it on my own, forget about my home

I remember when we first met
On the Great Salt Lake
Who was I to say no?
o let me go

I remember when it first came on
Like every other asshole I bought a guitar
o let me go
The snack bar was closed, they left the radio on
The AM band was made for you and me
Hold my hand
o let me go

Snowbound for another day,
Sunrise failed and faded away
Now I can't even see
The line between solid ground and sea

The coastline doesn't exist
It just shifts

I'll see you next fall
At another gun show
I'll call the day before, like usual

But I wanted so much more
I got exodus damage bleed
Could not commit
Some things I'll never be

From out here
I can see the boardwalk's fluttering lights
And hear the pinball singing bright
Crashing against the summer night

From out here
I can see the cyclone's terrible flight
I died a little on that second bend

Oh that summer with you
I clearly remember
We swimming off the Serbian coast
And you reread and you reread hard times

After the way it ended
I was bloody and bruised
I needed to find out why you cut me off

At the harlequin press I met a girl in a blue wool dress
Her manuscript in hand

Confused and unprepared, I offered to help I know an editor here,
I know Him well

she gave me her proof and I took it home
It was a promising, total mess

The hand that cut this barley, I’d like to know
The pale blue lips that blew the life into this stereo oh I’d like to know
Oh I’d like to know

Don’t it feel good
To be understood tonight

You asked me when’s the last time I stared into
Your sharp black jeweled eyes,
Even then you knew we were through
I didn’t know I didn’t know
Then you got up to go

June July I went home to live with my mom
At night I sat out to watch cicadas on the lawn
June July, confusion tennessee
Here sherman's army leveled troops in 1863

now those battlefields are marked and paragraphed
And maintained by national park service trust

You know it's the time
So goodbye for now
I crudely descend
The stairway to defend
Me and my 424

I piss you off in slanted rhyme
Walk away in 3/4 time

Golden gate park
We walked our Mondays there
Safe inside our replica

They have a garden there
Where climates of the world
Are laid out on a walking tour

You know that guy
Who stole your girlfriend
Away from you
In the summer of '95
He's going to die

You know her name
Sits in your brain

In the last known photograph
Of you and me sprawled on the grass
You looked off frame
You were through with this stupid play
You looked off frame
I didn't recognize the boy I once knew
Lost Sonoma Hills matched perspective with my silver stills
We followed the old mule trail
To mining camps and dried blood red shale

You should stay
You're just going to leave this place anyway
You should know by now
You're going to ruin the show

You're the last friend I have
Among the crew and cast and staff
They'll replace you with an unknown hack
You're the last the friend I have

Oblivion

I took a blow to the head
mechanical pencil filled with lead
I took a shot it's all she got
I took a knock it's everything she got

forgive me I'm ready to live

From the haunts of daily life
Where is waged the daily strife
Common wants and common cares
Cuts the human heart with tears

Rise like lions after a slumber in
In greatly unknowable numbers

In the seconds between the safety unlocks and the shot,
The story is clear of distortions and tears and you'll know why

we're on mulholland drive
Can you survive a look inside?

like a bomb in reverse, fragments of truth return:
The money's been paid out, the key's on the table

One day the paint will be stripped right off
Your pretty veneer and you can bet for sure
Raw wood never looked so good
One day the pain will pass on from me to you it will then be clear
if it's really true:
I've moved on

I set up camp in the woods where the trail falls off for good
I set up in wildcat camp
Just me and the owls and the bats
In the deep dark woods alone with my fears under the jackpine
The sky was galvanized

You were gone a long time
I followed you dear all of those years
Now that you're back, it's complicated
Sleep it off, sleep it off

Songs from memory I survived
Your blue wool skirt, your hooded eyes
I slept in cairns and split and anaheim
I stripped the gears of your dad's mark V
And knelt in the shadows of the RCA building
Sleep it off, sleep it off

They closed the road to Laramie
Slowly it came rain then snow then ice
I killed my engine and paced outside,
Out in the soft gray light

No turning back

I called my doctor on his cell
the call went straight to voicemail

Speed lab, speed lab
On the edge of an artichoke farm
We work through harm
Tweaked and well paid
We forgave
What the chemicals did
To our hands, lungs and face
Clearly makring our fall from grace

Out past the Levy county line
Coffee black Suwannee river blends into the coast
Gushing water crimson copper boil
I grew up there the bottom of the swimming hole

Fresh blood comes rushing back to me
I never thought I'd remember all of this
Oh dear me

There is a guy from the Sun-Tribune
Staking out my house in a Chevy Impala
Since yesterday noon

Should I speak to him
Or just stay quiet
They hear the whistle blow and
Out pours the blood of my child

Be calm, be quiet
As your mom walks by
Be calm, be quiet
When your mom walks by
And look at me
And follow my lead...

I'm combing my hair

I’m staying now
In a vacation house
It’s off season
There’s no reason to leave

Today in the fishing boat
I pulled the choke
And started the engine and

We pushed the horses as long as we could
Over Cooley Pass into Sierra Woods
Burned the wagon wheels for heat, for food
We cut down Timothy Gant who died so twelve
Could make it through

Time to go
We’ll never make come back

Hold on keep it together
Hold on
No one, no one has ever
Made it so far in time
No one x5
Not no one
Knows what happens next

Cross the palisade
At the holiday inn
See the mujahidin barricades
Just walk right through

Past the bullhorns
And sleepy 47s

Over here
I was buried nearly in the snow, snow, snow
There’s an overseer
To a true believer
I’m letting go, go, go

Here comes the one
Yeah she‘s the one

All hail the swelling sun
As acid seeps and autumn bleeds
And the glowing has just begun
Every winter time is kindly now
The ground is sprouting out
I got my shirt off and my face up against
The ground

The sun came up
Up above the sea
The streaming clouds
Tore into my tranquility

Out my window
I could see
A bird drop down

I stole from my mother
To hock her TV
She locked herself in the bathroom
She locked herself away from me

I'm not her son
When it hits my blood

I met my new neighbor
Had a drink on her veranda
We watched the ocean
Batter Bonita Point

“Do you have any children?”
The air around us changed
As grief washed across her face

On the Sunday after the mason dance
It�s the one day I can remember when
I felt so pure and really at peace with myself
I was in love, the sun sang down victorious

but the truth is I have no faith in happiness
It turns to fear, draws the devils near
So I jumped the fence

The sky was growing pale
So we held on to the twisted trail
The ground was getting cold
It was too far out to turn around and go home

The moon rose dim above
It was impossible to tell what time it was
