5 is a bore, 101’s nicer, 1 is the prettiest of all, i had a girl & then i lost her, so the dominoes fall, when i was young i had a vision of big bright lights & ivy walls, she had eyes that shone like a carnival but now they don’t look back at all, when gigging out’s no fun, there never was a scene, living off rest stop vending machines, i ain’t fooling no one & critics sure are mean, living off rest stop vending machines, she’ll take the west, i’ll take the east, wish her the best or well at least, i had the world and then i lost her, now i’m famished at the feast, when i was young i made a decision to run from numbers & live by words, she’s eating grapes in the deep shade of a conifer, i’m singing love songs with the birds, pigging out’s no fun, looking awful lean, living off rest stop vending machines, she digs yul brynner, i run steve mcqueen, living off rest stop vending machines

leaning in my office chair, smell of smoke wafts through the air, must be a birthday celebration, they’re having fun & i don’t care, so i just keep sitting there, ain’t got time for jubilation, what i need’s a vacation, leaning in my office chair, folks are running down the stairs, must be a certain kind of special occasion, they’re screaming now & i don’t care, so i just keep sitting there, ain’t got time for congratulations, what i need’s a vacation, take me down the ladder, i’m feeling rather weak, cannot even speak, take me down the ladder, structure is afire, flames are growing higher, take me down the ladder, i’m feeling rather faint, cannot die this way, take me down the ladder, things are looking dire, flames are growing higher, carry me out in your arms

rat in the wall, ghost down the hall, clothes in a ball, fridge full of alcohol, it hurts when i sneeze, this apartment is freezing, 10x13’s quite the squeeze, i made change but it’s small unlike my animal, no room for food in a fridge full of alcohol,it hurts when i wheeze, this apartment is killing me, 10x13’s quite the squeeze, there never was a better place than anywhere with you, forever are the stars misplaced, the moon is turning blue, vague southern drawl, list of missed calls, house made for dolls, fridge full of alcohol, it’s hard to stay clean, this apartment is sleazy, 10x13’s quite the squeeze, got my signature scrawled on every which wall, no room for sprawl in a fridge full of alcohol, it’s even hard to sleep, this apartment is killing me, 10x13’s quite the squeeze, there never was a greater fate than lying down with you, forever are the stars displaced, the moon is turning new

i’ve always hated the holidays, for that’s when hearts are broken, the only warmth awaiting is family, for that’s where truth is spoken, airports make me think of you & everything we went through, faces that we never knew, we’ll always have the silver moon, the red door & the golden dunes, places that we barely knew, busy people, endless lines, buy ourselves a little time, phony pine trees, city lights, how i long for apple pie, swear i never sinned, giving up is giving in, now i’ve got to be a friend or at least pretend and learn to love again, each other or another, it don’t matter in the end, i want to see the world together, be my girl forever, read between the letters & count the numbers, storming by november, dormant in december, trying to remember things that never were

fall’s a drop, forever winter, spring’s a no show, call it off, forget about the summer, trees won’t bloom, orchids rot, berries sour, subdued, farmer’s hands in knots,will it ever end? so my heart got fooled again, wasn’t the first time, it’s a part of being human, won’t be the last time, cooling down on a misty morning under the sunshine, it’s the start of feeling fine, fall’s a flop, forever winter, spring plays hookey, call it off, forget about the summer, birds don’t loom, orchards free of apricots, bees won’t smell perfume,farmer’s hands in knots, will it ever end? so my heart got fooled again, wasn’t the first time, it’s a part of being human, won’t be the last time, cooling down on a misty morning under the sunshine, it’s the start of feeling fine, looking for a lover, even a friend, rings on her fingers, ink in my pen, looking for a lover, even a friend, things are discovered rounding the bend...looking for love, sweet love, top of the trees kind of love
