He kicked over the cup cursed himself
It was the end of the dark green bottlei
A new stain for the carpet, a constellation of spills
Blood ***** and liquids

Walk to the train take the ride downtown
Missing old friends
Maybe a few are around
Most have moved off to a sunny seaside town
The fireman wail past toward an unknown fire
He follows the sounds and flashing light
To the heat and the light of fire in night
It's an apartment building
Breathing flames
Looking at the destruction
Makes him thankful for the carpet stains

I was walking up a hill writing a song when I passed a man with drumsticks and glasses on.
I stopped him and asked "wanna be my band?" He tilted his head and said "I'd be glad to keep time and accent your rhymes!" So off we rolled toward
downtown sound a magical haven for the musically inclined.
We talked to the owner (she's beautiful and free and everything that brings happiness to me) and she said "sure your traveling act can stop for the night knock out your rythms and make everyone feel alright".
checked the levels warmed the tubes and
so we did and it was spontaneous and from the fingers
the sounds were off and out of time
loud and alive with a dense misunderstood honesty
as soon as it started it was over
the man with the glasses and wood bit drumsticks we  shook hands and parted ways
the kick of his drum follows my steps i hope i meet that man again

She smiles while she sleeps and it makes me happy for a second knowing someone can find the sun in the dark side of time
In this endless division of multiplied layers to keep out opinion wind join the work force be a team player head held high as you bury your spirit in the ground
Sacrifice yourself  to stay with the breathing the couch ridden children of no parent praise mystified by misuse
Ever day is a reminder that another has passed
The turnstile  smiles are abandoned ghost guests  try again tomorrow I guess
Fight with words written to corrall the pain I look over and notice where my sweet love is laying and the sun begins to shine in the middle of my night I don't mind saying its all gonna be alright
