Jewel

got the jewel clearance liquor and a bad idea
you take a piece of my heart when you depart
i guess i'll see ya when i see ya
got the jewel clearance liquor and some things on my mind
well i'm growing up, but growing pains keep showing up
time after time
so if you see me at the checkout line
pay no attention to these weird beers that i'm buying
a six pack for $2.99
i'm fine

I Was Wrong

i was wrong, i let you go
that was then, now i know
but it's so hard, to see you sad
i feel i can't give you the best you'll ever have
my heart is weak, i'll carry on
i can't speak, i was wrong
if i should go, i'll take my leave
i feel i can't give you everything you need
and it's got me feeling like a piano out of tune
move across the country but my heart is still with you
a fiddle player starts the song but she's in the wrong part
so how is it i feel i'm still with you when i'm not?
and it's got me feeling like a piano out of tune
used to think that we were fine i did not have a clue
a fiddle player starts the song but she's in the wrong key
so how is it i'm missing you and you're still missing me?

Lost the 1
02:48

|

you're not a man, you're a kid
been through your whole life
never had a hitch
got no job, got no god
lost the 1 you love and who loves you
didn't try enough
i feel bad, not too great
and i can only express this in song
too hard face to face
i'm asleep from 2 to 7
i'm a blue demon in heaven
with more loose ends than a wig store
that's what i'm skipping this town for
you're not a man, you're a boy
you're a ghost locked in a crypt
that you helped dig
got no job, got no god
lost the one you love and who loved you
didn't try at all
couldn't say the words when it mattered most
guess that's the shit you learn when you grow
i'm not a man i'm an animal
and this planet's my temple

Subway

taking the subway
late at night
doing the crossword
with fluorescent light
people board the trains
to their phones they are glued
we're all heading home
through this concrete tube
five letter word
for a reason to rest
can't stop now
he said, "I'm doing my best"
can't get angry
if it's something you do
get off early
walk the last mile or 2

Mother of God

mother of god
my hands are getting sweaty
would've walked out the door
not anymore i'm ready
it's been so long since i've stared down at the dance floor
now i'm always grooving and moving until my foot are sore
used to be as stiff as a sycamore
now i'm over it
all those feelings of inadequacy
i bulldozer-ed it
still got my hard hat on
the work is never over
think it will get better on its own
and you just get older
mother of god
if you think i've got it figured out
no one really does
if they tell you it's something i would doubt
i just keep my head up
get the rhythm when i'm fed up
the music plays, i'm in a craze
i got some vibes, i wanna spread 'em

Spring Birds

spring birds crying from the gutter
in the morning after the rain
they've been gone but they're home now
and the city's waking up to hear them sing
spring birds crying from the trees
on the brances with no leaves
they've been gone so far south
now they're laughing in the cool april breeze
in the city of chicago
from the fields to the towns
from the windows to the light posts
hear them sing their ancient songs from all around
spring birds crying from the gutter
int the morning after the rain
they've been gone but they're home now
at the place where the moraine meets the lake

Urbane Living
02:29
|
|

i've been working so long
now it's almost over
finally got it figured out
guess i'm getting older
and it feels really good to have these moments when
feeling really good and it's just from my friends
i don't need a bottle or some brand new shoes
i don't need a lobster or a person to use
and it feels really good to have these moments when
living urbane living never want it to end
i just need a bed or a ticket on the train
or a bike instead if it's not gonna rain
