so adult

follow the trail of cigarette butts
and beware of karate chops and uppercuts.
don't let yr good old guard down.
don't let yrself get caught up in
the whole rocknroll thingm, it's embarassing
under no circumstances anybody say cheese
i was on yr shoulders underneath an overcoat
so we would seem so tall
so we would seem so adult
be careful of my little toe toenail
hangin on by a thread
the crowd cheered me on
cos i didn't bang my head.
the ocean is a cold matress
i was on yr shoulders underneath an overcoat
so we would seem so tall
so we would seem so adult
i dunno whats in me thumping
but it's clearly something up to no good
i need several naps, several baths
or i will collapse i can't relax
a kind of spiral conflict
a final fanfic fuss

don't attempt any kind of movement
often that's how we all ge truined
gumption yea yr gonna get some
someone told me the good ones die young
do you care to test it?
if it's all the same
i'm gonna do it anyway
it's automatic
and you had to have it
without you'd just go berzerk.
work, for whatever that's worth
if it's all the same
i'm gonna do it anyway
it's automatic
and you had to have it
and it's a lonely dark road
lit up with traffic cones.
and you miss the traffic
but you had to have it had to have it
if it's all the same
i know yr gonna do it anyway
it's automatic

search party party

beautiful day, i got it wrapped up.
i'd rather rip it up. i love you baby
i thought i lost you under the ripples
in the bathwater
was it all fake just a little?
i didnt want to just let go of it all
it's a search party party
and its a surprise
the kind you get shriveled up
and overanalyzed
it's for the best,
a kind of motorik death, real corporeal
everyone knows "how are you"
doesnt really mean "how are you"
it means "how do i get to where i'm going next"
but whats worse are all these car horns,
charcoal drawings on chalkboards,
sidewalk walkers with their DUIs
and the feeling that yr feelings have been minimized
i forget yr kids' names again
i got regrets, outnumber my secrets.
impossible
it's a search party party
and its a surprise
the kind you get shriveled up
and overanalyzed
it's for the best,
a kind of motorik death,
extra for real.
and it costs more than words

commerce in the morning
03:33
|

i'm in the mood for commerce in the morning
maybe tomorrow, wake up extra early
and cough over coffee
make a carbon copy of today and yesterday
i know where to go, nowhere to go
i got nowhere to go
confetti in my hair,
traipsin thru the garden,
stubbed my toe on an old gravestone.
it doesn't say much.
but there's plenty information
a big full name and at least 3 important dates
know where to go, nowhere to go
got nowhere to go
pulled apart the birthday card
the papercut hurt like goin to work
oh there's good intentions
if you just listen close.
you might just go cha cha
won'tcha cha?
cha cha why won't you go?
