New Song

Someone lit the couch on fire

And lined heads on the windowsill

 

God protects his wifi with a password

But gives out free coffee and cookies

To the people who listen to him

 

Parking lot stoop sitting

Dressed in black, looking back

Anyone can run me over

 

You are god and I'm a table

Weighed down by the heavy red book

Tuning my guitar and summoning strangers

Playing off-key in a room swimming with caffeine

The aisles are too narrow to let the

Broken pass through

 

It's all part of the plan

 

Church kids fight to say hello

Push push shove hi

Push push hi

 

All of their songs sound the same

 

It's all part of the plan
