1994 04:15
lyrics

I can still throw stones at three different places I laid down my head sometimes even my tail I might draw a map just to tease out the traces Hidden in the grid under suspicion without bail But Alice Street never calls collect from 1994 Half my life and I ain't done with its memories yet And East 14th Street won't let me get any sleep What hangs low to my west most easily is regret I straighten my line when I stop by the barber I heard he'll retire when he hits that big lotto I know in a port town there ain't no safe harbor I mind my town business I make that my motto I met you in spring after our jet introduction I kissed you in summer under foggy seduction I loved you in autumn to the depth of distraction I missed you in the winter

Better Off Lost 04:24
lyrics
buy track
New car on my block must've been expensive I only look at it sometimes not like it's in my name But it still wound up on my block just the same Misbegotten city won't you please make up your mind Are you gonna kill me will you be kind Don't make my death expensive How much can a last breath cost Is everything I find better off lost Neighbor on my jock keeps looking pensive He wanted more thrills for bills and less fame But he still wound up on my block just the same Bad as things have gotten Can't say I'm more bent out of shape than my city

Diamond Demimonde 04:08
lyrics
buy track
What's the party going to confess that the party hasn't told you by now What’s the party got to keep you quiet No highs or lows strictly middlebrow ‘Cause the party won’t say it’s over before the cops take their final bow You could step outside for air into the diamond demi-monde You could see it cut everyone Sparkle and shine but you'll find Inside the diamond demi-monde there's not so much for you But a place where you think you belong Is not a place where you can be of use And a place where you stay for too long Is not a place you can find a good excuse ‘Cause a place won’t care about its name After you leave your signature upon a truce You could step outside for air into the diamond demi-monde You could see it cut everyone Sparkle and shine but you'll find Inside the diamond demi-monde there's not that much for you Nothing but love you make with lovers Nothing but work left behind for others Nothing but a diamond demimonde Winking into existence then suddenly gone

Goodnight My Love 05:59
lyrics
buy track
Tell me tell me a bedtime story Not like a child you want to go to sleep Tell me tell me about passion and glory Virtues unavailable to the rest of us creeps Goodnight my love I will not see you again If fate and fortune favor us you'll say the same as well Goodnight my love We lost the map to heaven Refused to ask directions So we spent a season in hell Tell me tell me a perfect fairy tale About two people who love one another Tell me tell me about the ways they fail To make it work so they just say why bother Now we go away we've done our time Now you do yours and I'll do mine No roses to hold on without thorns No halos without those pesky horns

Horses Flying 04:37
lyrics
buy track
Mama wakes up it's morning Pours cold water and hot coffee Hopes open blinds offer up sunshine Daddy yawns and stretches deep Slowly peels away his mask of sleep Each asks the other if they slept fine And the day gets underway Horses flying outta the gate Never early never late always on time And the day gets underway Only says what it's gotta say Starts like a bad mood stops on a dime Mama lays hands on the people Helps lightning hit the steeple Tunes out tinkling bells and tallies tips Daddy sifts signals from static Breathes tweets and exhales panic Keeps pace at a hundred-fifty-word clip And the day goes round the bend Horses flying world without end Never early never late always on time And the day cools on its dish Nobody grants a solitary wish Not getting what you want is the crime Mama deserves better weather Her love keeps this house together Warmer days ahead won’t be much comfort Daddy takes pretty photographs Reflects her laughs in between tasks Hits playback before bedtime like a concert And the day draws to a close Horses flying win or lose by a nose Never early never late always on time And the day fades into the past Sleep comes slow darkness fast History repeats but it’d really rather rhyme Listen long enough for a bell and it will chime

In Memory 03:33
lyrics
buy track
I'm surprised to find myself a body in motion Matching my rhythm slow but not sleepy It reminds me of how we used to be together I'd say more if I was sure it wouldn't be creepy And of course I miss you Not as if that's the issue I can always kiss you In memory thin as tissue I turn off my location more often these days Feeling less like others need to know where I am Feeling less like others even truly understand So until I give a damn I'm unavailable for plans And of course I want you Not as if I won't flaunt you I can always taunt you In memory where I haunt you I'm surprised to find myself dreaming of an ocean Slow wet waves coming to me steady as regret They remind me with you I could never say never I'd say more if I wasn't too sure I might lose a bet

It's Massive 04:20
lyrics
buy track
I'm not worried that you'll come to me I'm not worried that you'll come for me I'm not worried because I'll comfort you This ain't a threat, it's just a come-on, boo This feeling, I can’t get a grip on it Overturns me when I try to table flip it It binds me tighter if i try to tear or rip it Down on me like gravity it's massive Draining my energy like water in a sieve Killing me till it seems I just can't live Taking everything from me I've got to give Down on me like gravity it's massive From the moment that I crossed your path From that moment all you did was laugh From that moment you knew I'd be drawn From that moment until my will is nearly gone

Until Something Else 05:25
lyrics
buy track
Some keep sixers in car trunks in case sirens start to pop and brother in this instance I do not refer to the cops I keep a flask in my backpack or an asspocket in the absence of the proper means of carriage of whatever weighs me down today If rockets fly overhead and decide to detonate I won’t hate I’ll just inebriate before I disintegrate I’ll get out of my head if I don’t live until I’m dead I’ll raise as many toasts as I can until I’m toast Sip spirits until we’re all spirits so we won't hear it Crack open cans while we can ball till we fall or until last call Drink to our health until heaven or hell or until something else Some keep supplies safely stored tracking shelter backing up goods and sister in this instance I do not refer to the woods I got a taste in a nearby drawer Conveniently concealed within reach of my hands that served me well enough through easier times until it got too rough
