so what are you waiting for?
you're as far as i can see
standing on a foreign shore
never bothered me
until now
i feel like a tourist
or maybe i'm just bored
though i have never been here before
all that sweet excitement has left these lover's eyes
i'm not saying i'm not waiting for you to drift this way
wasted on the grayest pavement
no matter what they say
"it's coming on after all"
i've tried to fit into it
i've been doing all right
all these social instances
tend to trouble me
save for all of the times i've chased you around
like the others before i follow till i cannot be found
and if fate gets her precious way
disregard it all
i'm not saying i'm not waiting for your judgement day
but now wasted on the finest chardonnay i couldn't hear them say
"it's coming on after all"

hunt

outside a full moon's rising up
just to fuck with the tide
higher and brighter than sunlight shines
we gonna need some place to hide
i feel autumn coming
i see my brother running fast
she's coming after me now
to hunt me while i sleep
like a bad, bad dream i know
she gonna bite me with those teeth
all my skin starts crawling
i'm watching the leafs all falling down
and just like wolf, the woman comes
to break my bones and drink my blood
she turned my heart to cinder
she tore me down like timber, oh
a vixen with a vicious grin
opens the door just to let me in
all too soon i'll regret it
knowing that there's no escape from
those cold eyes staring
and snow white coat she's wearing well
just like wolf the women lie
never believe them boys who cry
tonight they're all out prowling
in the moonlight hear them howling loud
just like wolves the women come

hid

your skin is soft like the tablecloth
that we hung out in the afternoon
to hide in the backyard
where gardens grow
and rivers they flow
with all the accidental symmetry god don't want us to know
your body makes such amazing shapes
when i think about 'em naked
how it makes my sweet heart ache
not from the pain
stimulate my brain
i don't know if i can take it but at least i'll go insane
i think about you all the time
because you're always on mind
your voice it sings
like the church bell rings
early in the morning just to wake me from the sleep that i was in
in grass we'd lay
for sometimes all day
until the animals would chase us from the places we would stay
i think about you all the time
because you're always on my mind

well it looks like rain is coming round again
how i wish it were you instead
in my bed
i pray that god would go away
and i pray the rain would bring you coming round
someday
preying only got me nowhere
so i walked down by the lake
i was carrying my favorite book when you
came
up to me and said you loved the man who wrote that play
you really liked his writing cause
it brought you to the places where i was
self-deprecated like i was
it was kinda nice just to be standing in the rain
with a pretty girl again
she started taking off her dress and so i thought i'd do the same
in your dreams it's hard to find reasons
to blame for what we're afraid of
or why we chase the things and ones we love
when i awoke it seemed the rain began to fade
i haven't seen that sun in days
nothing on this pretty planet forever will remain
no nothing
know nothing stays here with us for long
appreciate the things that come until they're gone

oh my darling
you've got me distracted
i'm so lost in this maze that i'm in
where do we begin?
and where do we end
my darling?
please give me a sign
and let your defenses die
just be mine tonight
i will take us out dancing
and later we'll dine
i will buy you the reddest wine
ain't it hard to find?
sometimes
i just can't decide
whether or not the conclusion is justified
i get confused
there's no telling where my mind might reside
oh my darling
are we desperate?
is it true about what they say?
do you want to play with me?
well i know you're ready young girl
and i got the time
to waste or to wait for
divine intervention
lately
been messing around with all of those lonesome ghosts
talking with you is like having conversation with a talk show host
i hate to break it to you but you will never be
the most important entity
in my life at least presently
so go home
think about all you don't know
my darling

golden thrushes at my window
must mean daylight's coming down
i go outside alone to wander around
the cemetery's lonesome ground
and looking for you i came across a tomb
and i pretended this skeleton i knew
i sifted through the dust and the gravel
grass is growing though this heart beats faster
like a little automatic machine
for your pretty little sister the capital queen
how on earth can anything become in between of
me and miss human being?
escaping with the great migration
i'm still waiting here for you
in hopes that someday you'll return to here
with some heavy news
all the while i sing the blues
say vincent! where've ya been?
i'd surely like to see you again
playing dead like a dog
or lost getting off inside that precious head
until you smell it start to smolder
give it up love we're just growing older
i started ripping all it's feathers out
just enough to keep ya from taking of and flying around
but like a rook she come and took my heart right out
brought it back to your new hometown
