oh my god
my voice has up and gone
well i swam from there to here
my poor old legs
are good as lost
and still there you stand
so intently
so sweetly
you are shouting at some somber man
who is glowing white with his five eyes
and his joker haircut you cannot see
and a sideways gait bent on being alone
with you
baby, he is all shaken up, i can see
he barely knows how to bring all his eyes upon thee
they are flitting about
the mouse that never comes out
of his house for fear of the cats waiting just outside
the edge of his mind

i really live here
really living in this time
not sure why
not sure why baby don't care
baby don't care
not sure why baby don't care
i'll never know why baby don't care
she got a lot on her mind
never know why baby don't care
i love her so and i know i'll never be
a part of her life
i'll never know why
i'm never sure why baby don't care
i'll never know why

on this day so blue

lemon tree
baby girl
you are my brother
pour out your bottle of wine
too young; you're too old
still not a ghost
from whom they stole
not a flake of gold
when you were humming on your knees
singing somewhere, anywhere
off doing what pleases you
and, my, how the breezes are always so still around here
the sky is laughing
brilliantly flashing
on this day so blue
and what about the skin of the snake
by the entrance to where you live?
wanton are you with a fear
the kind that draws you near
and in your dreams it seems to catch you
right where you least expect it to be
when you wake up believing the dream is real
the new skin of a curious friend-of-a-friend-to-be
slowly coiling
no it's ribbons, no it's the flickering
tongue of a serpent winding in your bedsheets
praise be, the lights came on
but you cannot see
your eyes
they only need a little bit of adjusting
yet you flail and you fluff about
blindly still in the dusty glimmer

i never know what i need
when all these things come up at me
i got enough tricks in my bag
so you know i still care
i don't know what happens sometimes
when all my mind turns into dimes
i don't know, i get off, i guess...
to you i must confess.

in our oceanside apartment
you and me
oceanside apartment
but oh, baby, i'm still alive!
we're breathing nice and slow
oh, we're just breathing nice and slow
until the dust grows over us both
we're just breathing, just breathing
nice and slow
