i watched the moon pass through the windows
and it came up close to me
and it told me of the echoes
and what would come to be
and it told about the minnows
and pets that wouldn't see
the light of day tomorrow
but don't worry about me
it told me of the future
and the past it seemed to scream
and it knew about my mother
and the secret i dont speak
it knew about my pockets
and what my pockets do not keep
it knew about the whispers
that i say before I sleep
it knows about the black dog
and how close it follows me
it knew that it was only hope
and never lunacy
and the sun knew that the moon would never speak to me

Lonely down the lane
A buzz a ball and chain
Down the interstate
We move for motion's sake
A curse under my breath
One worse upon my head
The worst of fears for us
We are our father's sons
Drinking in the dark
Begging for a spark
Your eyes would leave a mark
Your lips would leave a scar
Just take what you get this time
Even dog years aren't what they used to be.

A mile to blush and please
A smile, for once, you could mean
If only we had never filled our lungs with Halloween.
Tell him to fade the scars
Tell him to ash and feed the cigarette s in bars
Tell him that guilt and stone will last long after we draw ours.
Even those stars tell lies
A fool for dead and far off light
Even lost love seems to shine but it's only time

Bittersweet as a burning tree
As the second name of belladonna
Keep your voice below the bagpipes
Keep your chin above your phone
I guess the rink was never icy
Now that the grief is not as thick as water
I never was the hard-heart type
Back when I never slept alone

Dark but I can smile
Fists but I can wink
Mint but I can vile
Dry but I could drink
Tired but I can talk a-while
Drunk but I can think
Live but I can decompose
Quick but I could blink
But

We know boy
we know what you've
You thought you could hide it
But no such luck
scars maybe fade boy
But ink don't run boy
we got your name
We got your number
Too late to go to sea
No fate escapes the memory
No gold in san francisco
No count of monte cristo
I'd never forget you
As love as I live
no gunslung name
no club portrait
no test for this
no blood could hold
Your sins
Your sins
your sins

He said he was a veteran of the war
not this last one, but the one before
Operation euphamism conflict desert storm
he said they brought him here straight from the floor
He said they brought the bodies to a rink
And that the ice did not quite help the stink
He could not hold his hand still, he could not hold his drink
He threw up thirty xanax in the sink
There was Rickie, he was twice my age
Hoped it's not too late to turn a page
he told me 'make the best of it', he tought me to play spades
He said meals are the way to split the day
Aerosol computer duster hose
As far as he could get it up his nose
Something about oblivion, ethyl and the cold
Wednesday lunchtime traffic had to slow.
I'm not crazy, I'm just low
I've got nowhere else to go
I'm not sick I'm just upset
As all these thoughts race through my head
I'm so tired of telling lies
Smooth as corbon dioxide.
Victoria had seen and lost her day
She had the makeup tatooed on her face
She just seemed grateful for a place to stay
And wondered of they'd take her kids away.
Three days for tears and slices on her arm
Nine days, my fault for showing them my card
They'd love to do the right thing, and treat us as we are
But good insurance is as rare as heart
I'm not crazy, I'm just low
I've got nowhere else to go
I'm not sick I'm just upset
As all these thoughts race through my head
I'm so tired of telling lies
Smooth as corbon dioxide.

Paint your eyes and jacket black
lose the face that's looking back
love your neighbour, but lock the door
If I know you, you will be
better than before
Strings of lights lead down the street
incandescent life's a dream
Cold, but only for an arm to keep you warm
If I know you, you're gonna
Take the world by storm
After all you're back in bed
I'm just a song stuck in your head
I'm just a name now,
And nothing to remind.
If I know you you're gonna
Leave that boy behind
I woke up and the world was white again
I wake up and I find my mind with you in boston
I woke up and the shortest day was done
I wake up I don't owe my heart to anyone
I woke up and that ******* year was dead
You're too young to be jaded was the first thing you said
I woke up and the world was wide again
I'll be looking for your face, if I ever get to boston.

The paper kept the story short
Nothing certain to report
Gave no name, but too young an age
Sad, but get on with your day
White shirt, dark tie
the nicest shoes that I could find
behave, before
Look down at the floor
Cross the street, the church is full
selfish grief and ritual
The family speak and the people cry
I have my own, I cry for mine
Drive up, hard rain
We light cheap candles, say a name
the best of us
I have not lived up
I have not lived up
Ashes
ashes
we all fall down
when that name is mine
I'm sure I will not mind
Bonfire just outside of town
stories grow as they go around
In tragedy, in war, in love
Innocence is not enough
Line up young men
One less, a friend
As if we needed an excuse
We drink down our *****
Ashes
ashes
We all fall down
I hope I'm good and through
When it's the parting glass for you

Will you take me to the ocean?
Will you hold my hand?
And will you just cut me open?
And I'll bleed out in the sand.
With a far away expression.
In a foreign land.
What a pleasure to be homesick,
Beside the wanderlust of man
Whose secrets are you keeping?
And who is keeping yours?
What demon dogs are sleeping?
In the place beneath the floors.
Whose long dead heart is beating?
With a pulse that is no more.
Change all the tenses on the verbs.
Strange all the senses goodbyelittlebird
