lyrics

sinking summer boat (although ship works better)

dieing : the expensive trip i haven’t taken
the one not for the kids - just a cell phone with worldwide service
and a passport
she left waving her red scarf from a sinking ship - two summers ago
when the sunsets never dyed its hair pink
always lets its roots natural color show through
it used to rain everyday back then
the problem the plumber couldn’t fix
you’ve got to get used to that sound - learn to like the water leak:
steady steady cymbal tap - dreaming at 88 BeatsPerMinute
-sleep sound - dream loud - the brilliant albums that always seem to get slept upon
my sink bleeds to death in the kitchen
electric bill shot up - appliances running -
the drive by we wish would happen to doors down
i miss russian roulette with a cap gun - the scent of crumb cake in the oven on Sundays
- and the fake plastic sidewalks on baltic avenue
has your ship hit port yet - i want a postcard when you get there:
a picture of the sunset in heaven
with the disposable camera that i sent you in your care package
the windows in this house never keep their eyes open long enough
to see the seasons changing clothes
mother nature naked in the dressing room - breast feeding her plastic baby
the peeping tom that falls asleep behind his binoculars
you’ll never get home from work after the night shift on morning coffee
and the three cups of pointless conversation you drank throughout the day
it’s better to be late - than stood up by yourself
on the blind date you had with your dirty ash tray and a stack of bad magazines
the bed tastes better with appetizers on the couch before the meal is served –
but a king size stomach is always hard to fill without the 2nd place setting
your paid vacation time is up - they’re short staff on the sales floor
work’s been calling your answering machine with messages and missed calls
did you steal magnets from the souvenir shop
spend your saturdays stuck at the brochure stands
and see the moon skinny dipping in the sea at night
i haven’t seen the sun in two summers and
my sink’s still bleeding to death in the kitchen
but i’m only dreaming at 44 BeatPerMinute
slowing down to a steady steady cymbal
CRASH




water drops and record pops

my rain dance is out of style
her think tank is losing water
i turned the moon channel on
and we smoked midnight cigarettes between our fingers
like small houses on fire
burning stories
broken elevators
a book with its chapters jumping from window ledges
light hits her face like yellow wind
my eye lids blow like curtains
window open
summer breath - heavy
filling the room like gas leaks
