Ok, I misled you
Though I didn't mean to
I was only trying to hide away
I'm staring at the ceiling
Trying to hide my feelings
As I consort with a Jack Daniels laugh
And some painted, plexiglass eyes
That smashed me to the ground
Like I had weighed a million pounds
And I'm running through the crowds
for years
They say they'll crush me with my fears
Or my testimonied peers
But I'll be on the ground, can't be found, all clear
The way I shook the healing
Does so much revealing
Just how much I love stealing pros and cons
Ok, I've done some lying
Like them crafty Mayans
Me and my wife with her Sour Times grins
And her painted, plexiglass eyes
She smashed me to the ground
Like I had weighed a million pounds
And I'm running through the crowds
for years
They say they'll crush me with my fears
Or my testimonied peers
But I'll be on the ground, and I won't be found for years
5:15 is beating down on the sun soaked sounds
Of tame, tight traffic, radio static all around
I think I need concealing from the probing hands of healing
Like they care about my cocaine blues
And limp fantasy noose
They smashed me to the ground
Like I had weighed a million pounds
And I'm running through the crowds
for years
They say the caught me with my fears
Or my testimonied peers
But I'll be on the ground, can't be found
No safe, no sound, no up, no down
The devil is all around, all clear

You breathe light on the skeletal roads
Of Texas West, 26
I never seen you look so bright
I never seen you look so bright
The evenings come like a scratched-up record
The same in length and depth and calm
Babies cry all around
Babies cry all around
While helpless me is driven to your den
I hope that I never need you
It’s the same old thing you thought you left behind
We’re coming up to the seam of fables
Nogales swarmed by Taco Bell
Babies cry all around
Babies cry all around
Pretty soon they will need my story
The one that proves that I exist
Unless I slip into the sea
Break off now and run away
When I crest it’s drowning in your grasp
I hope that I never need you
It’s the same old thing you thought you left behind
I hope that I never need you
It’s the same old thing you thought you left behind
No one knows where I have moved to
The least of them the U.S.A.
I wish it mattered more to me
That no one cares where I could be
Pretty soon we get right to it
I recline onto your skin
Gaze upon your studded thoughts
Your furrowed brows rush to the sea
I charmed you harder than I disappeared
I hope that I never need you
It’s the same old thing you thought you left behind
I hope that I never need you
It’s the same old thing you thought you left behind

I hate songs about the moon
Short of breath, lovers are tangled croons
Their hearts in swoon
Wills in yield, a passive meal
Full or fourth, the moon is a seal
On capped appeal
But, astronauts, soaked in sleep
Dreaming of no air to breathe
What do they whisper every June
About the moon
I hate songs about the stars
Are they gifts of love or
Tiny birds eye bars from afar
Are they beaded light trapped in tar
It’s poetic right to make stars of stars
From what they are
Consider this, there’s truth to please
Stars are only memories
Give her that which towers over par
Give her Mars
There’s a thousand songs about the sky
It holds the sun’s corona
Spoked with lies, sickly high
When deep romance solidifies
Under gods with uncertain strides
I’m forced to hide
Astronomers who plot the air
Send soldier out, at cosmic fare
These soldiers say, gasping fresh, Earth air
There’s nothing there
