silencio

Walked three miles
on two broken knees
and looked everywhere
you said you'd be
I had forgotten
it was Halloween
I forgot what you said you'd be
I saw your ghost
in so many places
your painted smile
on so many faces
this one time
I almost asked
I could see it was
just a mask.
This one time I almost asked
I could see
it was just a mask.

Hot move on a cold night
whatever you were trying
you didn't do it right.
At least you're seizing the day,
if only it turned out a different way.

Sometimes the things that you want
sense that you do and announce that they don't.
You feel misunderstood.
It was something you wanted, not something you would.

The comfort of the retreat.
The shuffling sounds of shuffling feet.
Before any move you make,
are you totally sure it's totally safe?

A Friday night but Buttermilk's dead

Can't think of someplace to go instead

Sidecar is close but home's always cheaper
Get high and listen to "Don't Fear the Reaper."

It's been such a long week

thought I deserved something

took a long walk and came here for nothing

the walk's the same home

except only longer
scarier out

the winds are much stronger.

Retitled

It's a long walk,
but it's okay. I like to walk anyway.
You order, I just ate.
Really the food would just sit on a plate.
I saw it once but I don't mind.
It's the kind of movie you can see twice.
And if you'd like to walk over me,
if that's something you wanted to see.
And if it would please you to watch me chew glass
if that's your pleasure, you can just ask.
Because whatever you want, that's what I'll do
because your desire's a part of you.

It's not hot as hell
hell's probably hotter
all we can think
is to drink holy water
and look to the sky
and pray for whatever
all we can do
is talk of the weather

Optimism

Wherever you go
that is the plan
and you are the man.
Whatever you think
that's how it is
cause you know your shit.
and whoever you want
they're fools if they don't
When the sun shines
the sun shines for you
when the moon dies
its sacrifice
its sacrifice

A man of the world,
a man on the town,
you don't fuck around.
Whatever you say
people will do people love you.
Whoever you choose
has nothing to lose
When the sun shines
the sun shines for you.
When the moon climbs,
its sacrifice, its sacrifice.

Who is a winner?
It's this guy.
Who is the fellow
no one can deny?
You've got the world
on a string,
it's a world made of twine,
the world is your plaything,
the world will watch you die.
