Running Thrushes
02:46
|

With the daylight lost
No afterglows followed us
Chasmal light, running brush
Thrushes in the fields
This strident bird
Left arm caught in bramble
Captor quelled vibrant song
Stopped, surrendered
If all was an anteroom
An aviary unheard
Who's in the next room?
Whose house is vetting you?

Daughters of the sea
Is it over now?
If this nightcap is slow
I'll win my way out of the house
Cauterized she thinks things over
How can she like without love?
Stay widowed to a vow?
Tied up on the pier
Your tresses curl
And the wind catches us
Like vagrants on murderers' row
(Rows) that we had not seen
Take all of our clout
Keep our sparring on shore
And rosaries strewn 'round the house
Adolescence seems a vagary clouded
Of nights that, stillborn, are worn in a day
Growing old, I get out of sorts
Settle for naught, end up right in the fold
A red sail and tide haunting me
In your likeness I know
The ridge isn't quiet as cold
Fortuneteller's son, little crescendoing life
That I know, a roan carriers my brother down

Misery Day Parade
02:24

Daytripper walks in place along Second Avenue
Call girls that warrant grace
Not their garish faces
When you were out of school
I brought out a tablecloth
Tall boys and choir girls looking on outside
Solace is like a clock
Rusting in an aperture
Haste, shadows come our way
Shadows come our way
Save it's a commonplace
But will I feel this way again?
Maybe I don't know what love is
Do I call you in distress?
Honey I don't know what heartbreak is
Do I call you in distress?

God is in my life
And damn it feels good

Gon' See the King
02:01

I can't stay in all day
My friends are broke, I turn them all away
Couldn't even decide
If it'd be worse to make the lonely ride
Ride out to Burger King
Maybe I'll get out tomorrow
But I'm sensing a cloud or a midday shower
Then it goes away
And my heart's an open door
I hate when it is, that's not what it's there for
Hey, you've got your life to save
But in the summer rain
You can try to feel alive
You can go out of your mind
