Mistakes rest on my collarbones
William Burroughs knocks on my chest and listens to the echoes
Catch my breath and weigh the possibilities
Navigating the side streets
we drink tequila from a tea *** while the bowl moves counterclockwise
Tuck my friendships back into pockets and carry them like loose change.
Take a penny, leave a penny
Just don't leave me lonely.
I lay in your front yard with my mouth wide open
I capture the songs of the day so we can share them in the moon light
You simply go through the motions
your mind full of figures,
while I think about thinking
of thinking
of thinking
a thought.
I fumble through life, my shoe laces tied together
You laugh into our kiss and call me useless
So please,
use less of me.

Take a penny, leave a penny
Just don't leave me lonely.
I lay in your front yard with my mouth wide open
I capture the songs of the day so we can share them in the moon light
You simply go through the motions
your mind full of figures,
while I think about thinking
of thinking
of thinking

I fumble through life, my shoe laces tied together
You laugh into our kiss and call me useless
So please,
