Settle Up 03:40
I’m going slow as molasses I can’t find my glasses And everything is moving too fast The alarm bell is ringing Birds have been singing And I can’t get out of the bath That old paranoia Is bound to destroy you if you Fall through a crack in the path Inside the mirror there’s a face I used to know Tomorrow I will reap the seeds today I’ve sown But until then I’m gonna read the dregs of the cup Hoping I know when to settle up I once was a child Out running wild Sleeping in the bed of a truck And though the past left an imprint Now things are different Antennas looking out for good luck More control than a fish in a bowl But that ain’t really saying all that much Inside my head there is a story that unfolds It twists and tumbles only waiting to be told But until then I’m gonna read the dregs of the cup Hoping I know when to settle up I thought everything seemed so complete Thought I had all day to roam the street But the cash has come and gone I’ve been sleeping here too long Maybe I’ll right my wrongs But until then I’m gonna read the dregs of the cup Hoping I know when to settle up

Exit Trip 03:14
They’re taking photographs of the skyline They’re tearing pages out of the guestbook They’re walking under ladders in the full rising moon And it’s been taking a while, since last week But the punch was spiked and now we can hardly speak And we’ve been dancing a while cheek to cheek Caught in the grip of the exit trip Caught in the grip of the trip They’re paving roads that lead to the highway They’re pulling taxis out of the harbor They’re getting by with only a flint and a knife And it’s been taking a while but soon we’ll see What it means to finally set the hostage free And we’ve been chasing a wild wild endless dream Caught in the grip of the exit trip Caught in the grip of the trip Distinctions soften in twilight Generosity blooms in the creases And breaks into a million pieces Yesterday melted with the sun Time to rely on other senses And dig a tunnel under these fences They’re taking apples out of the orchard They’re placing flowers next to the gravesite They’re going out on the town with the skeleton key And it’s been taking a while, since last week But the punch was spiked and now we can hardly speak And we’ve been dancing a while cheek to cheek Caught in the grip of the exit trip Caught in the grip of the trip

Dandelion 03:09
By the night I know myself Shadow by the bookshelf But I want to be here today Where the power lines sway Lives lived in parallel Ghosts on a carousel Will the echoes ever coalesce In this restlessness Dandelion take me away Above the tall grass of the glass afternoon I thought I had something to say The tigers still play but they’re leaving here soon Ice melts, the ocean sings Clear as cicada wings But the stars seem so out of hand Like these grains of sand Blueprints washed to the sea Fading into history Feeds back so subtly In prophetic dreams Dandelion take me away Above the tall grass of the glass afternoon I thought I had something to say The tigers still play but they’re leaving here soon Buried in moonlight underneath the satellite Persuaded by this statue in to missing my cue Dandelion take me away Above the tall grass of the glass afternoon I thought I had something to say The tigers still play but they’re leaving here soon

Hidden wound in folded wing Of thee now I sing Took a match to my mail today Watched the ashes blow away Grey black and white Moving through the light of the day Made my bed inside the park And stayed til after dark Taken in by a bird of prey Out past where the edges fray Grey black and white Such a sacred sight on display Asleep enough to know the score Awake enough to dream Incantations rolling in Like whispers in the trees Brush the grass from my suit Now I’m the substitute The wrist watch runs backwards Before becomes after Grey black and white And the time is right to pray So now what can I do My angel where are you I’m here with my needle and thread On the trail of feathers shed Grey black and white Travel through the night that remains

Did you hear anything? Did you hear anything? Slipping through the cracks Could it be anything? Could it be anything? Features rushing past I took a walk in the day of the dead, good people Windswept in that ancient staircase Royal blood in marble veins Sleeping in the market place They put a lasso around the candidates And the prospects did disintegrate What was that you said? What was that you said? Take anything you want Is there no end in sight? Is there no end in sight? Pay my dues to the confidante I took a walk in the day of the dead, good people Windswept in that ancient staircase Royal blood in marble veins Sleeping in the market place They put a lasso around the candidates And the prospects did disintegrate Pestilence on the clothes line Pressure builds on the train ride Held in contempt by the hell bent Alright I took a walk in the day of the dead, good people Windswept in that ancient staircase Royal blood in marble veins Sleeping in the market place They put a lasso around the candidates And the prospects did disintegrate

Oshima 01:31
7.
Bluejays in the summer snow Lilacs and clover, lilies in bloom Drifting across the afternoon Halos of sunlight dripping with rain Steam from the pavement gets on your grave Bluejays in the summer snow Black leather burning, parking lot haze Car tires turning into the maze Peppermint oil, drop on the neck Ice cubes and sun screen, what happens next Bluejays in the summer snow Diagrams forming inside the dust Sunbeams through tree limbs fall where they must Give me a dollar I’ll make you smile Radio signal, don’t touch that dial Bluejays in the summer snow

From a Star 03:21
When they told me “no you can’t” I just thought “yes I can” I took off in my car Wasn’t thinking of how far Sky stretched out over me Told myself I must believe And if this road should never end Guess I am my only friend Transmission from a star Transmission from a star Cross my heart I don’t mind Now I’ll see what I can find After all it’s much too late to sit around in this debate Yesterday the well ran dry Shake the dust out of my eyes Drive all night sleep all day Nothing standing in my way Transmission from a star Transmission from a star Transmission from a star Transmission from a star

Just visiting Just glistening Just a drop off rain Falling down forever No panic No need to get manic Lest you start to feel like Hollow body with a snowfall mind Compulsive concerns go undefined Charming the matador Distant shores maybe beckoning On a falcon’s wing Could be anything Anybody’s guess Try and see tomorrow The evening I hear it breathing And it almost seems like Hollow body with a snowfall mind Compulsive concern go undefined Charming the Matador Distant shores sometimes beckoning

Parched Lips 02:27
Parched lips, meet cool water Take a break, go no further Cause right now you’re in deep And the quicksand plays for keeps There’s someone else to meet No rain in this season A glitch on the horizon The vulture seems to speak With dollars in its beak And spits them in the street On a day soft and sunny It tastes just like honey When daylight hits your tongue And night thoughts come undone While you watch the colors run So gold in this desert The wind gives no answer In fact it’s growing teeth And whistling for the thief But tonight she’s running free
11.
Magic Rain 02:54
Sunbird drifting in the magic rain Airplane bursting into golden flame Just like the necklace that you wore Sweet candy from the store Wildflowers blooming in the magic rain Husbands climbing from the open drain Say a prayer, make it stop Blow a kiss and then the curtain drops Emerald stream roll down in pixels Set me sights on the dying ember Written on our bones but we’re too blind to see The epitaph telling its story Street lamps burning in the magic rain Ram’s blood curdled in the demons vein Doctor doctor how can it be Frozen cold in a hundred degrees Blind and ragged in the magic rain Strangers smoking through the window pain Nights of treasure on the street Bags of feathers at our feet Emerald stream tumble down in pixels In bits and pieces and message mixers Written on our bones but we’re too blind to see The epitaph telling its story
