Badlands
Standing in the parking lot waving like a flag
You drove right past
Then turned around I feigned mad
You laughed so hard you cried
Is that everything you asked then stepped out
You picked me up when you hugged me
No I’ve got this monkey sleeping back at the house
You said you’re funny when you’re chubby
We took 22 to try and beat the traffic
I’ve always been private
On the radio it was country or static
So we sat there quiet
When we hit the Badlands we saw a kangaroo
And I had a serious case of deja vu
I said stop a minute I need to look around
I felt at so home in that town I couldn’t pronounce

Ticking time bomb
There will be a day
I can remember
See how we renamed it for the past and the future
If I was old enough
Big enough
Not a kid on a bicycle
I am a baby
Baby colossal hiding
And you are an arctic king
Name of an AC
Of you two, there’s two of you
Not a one, at least two of me
When it gets dark
We all peddle home
When it gets dark
We all peddle home
The sun could be a ticking time bomb
Everyday I sit, nomad in a bus seat
I’ll get out the city meet characters
In Target parking lots
How’s life so fast, life cycle
How’s life so fast, my life cycle
When it gets dark
We all peddle home
When it gets dark
We all peddle home
The sun could be a ticking time bomb
The sun could be a ticking time bomb
Baby, baby, won’t you take me back
You never had me but won’t you take me back
Baby, baby, won’t you take me back
I creak like the wind going through my house
It goes
Ah-ha
When it gets dark
We all peddle home
When it gets dark
We all peddle home
The sun could be a ticking time bomb
The sun could be a ticking time bomb

Hector
Hector called yourself home
Don’t go, don’t sleep with
Don’t lay hands near the ground
If you go quiet you can forget it’s home
Touch it’s bracing what you know
That the earth would eat you up
Eat you up up up
Pray in a hall
Pray in a cave
If you won’t let go
I could collapse right here with you
you could hold my stole
If you stick if you stick around
Pray in a hall, pray in a cave
And I’m in a shroud
we all wail
It’s a marriage and we bury it
Bury it low bury it fast
The women dig
Bury it low bury it fast
The women dig
And the women preach
And I’m in shroud
We all wail
It’s a marriage
So if the seasons change Can we
if the seasons change Can we
Be let go Disbarged
Can you let me go To a far away
Catapult Out out beyond
And can I sleep at night
Can I ever sleep at night
We wonder what it was for
I paid for this pacing on the floor
We wonder what it was for
I paid for this pacing on the floor

Elevator Buttons
I am a tv set the old kind
With rabbit ears and seven channels
You are Christmas lights blue ones
That leak around a smoky room
And your mother’s in the lazy boy
Talking on the phone long distance
I’m a string of popcorn half eaten
By the dog you found in a parking lot
I get so scared when my words hit the air
So mostly I stay quiet
I don’t mind a little quiet
Sometimes my ears get so goddamn tired
I know your name doesn’t rhyme with anything
So I make up these words and melodies
Looking for your face up in the night sky Eventide
Near Seven Sisters Pleiades
If I’m not trying then it’s easier when
The impending failure happens
There’s a kind of catalog a film that loops
Of the flailing I perpetuate
Maybe god is just some petulant child
Pushing all the elevator buttons

Nothing About My Life

Nothing about my life
Nothing about my life is going wrong, is going wrong
Nothing about my life is going wrong, is going wrong
And I can’t see no problems now
I live in the promise lands
Nothing about my life
Is terrible
It’s terrible
Nothing about my life
Is terrible
All is wonderful
And I don’t spend my nights alone
I’m with you even if you don’t know
Nothing about my life
Is terrible
It’s all okay it’s wonderful
Nothing about my life
Is terrible
It’s all wonderful
I don’t spend my nights alone
I’m with you even if you don’t know
Even if you don’t know
Nothing about my life is terrible
It’s so wonderful, why can’t it be wonderful
Why don’t I see it as wonderful
Why don’t I believe it to be wonderful
How can I be without you
without you
without you
I’m
Down in that ocean hole
Down in that ocean hole
But
Nothing about my life is terrible
In fact it’s wonderful

Coriander Eyes (Dom Leone)
You made me some chili
And I pulled up a chair
I didn’t know it was
The last time I’d be sitting there
You showed me the recipe
You said it’s not that hard
But it’s your eyes that I remember
When I think about that index card
Coriander eyes will never leave my memory
This bottle’s almost empty but I’ve got time to get me by
Coriander eyes will never leave my memory
This bottle’s almost empty but I’ve got time to get me by
I went to the grocery store
Around 2 am
My list was simple
Just some garlic salt and cinnamon
I saw you at the checkout
As I came up aisle four
And then you watched me watch you
Walk out that automatic door
Coriander eyes will never leave my memory
This bottle’s almost empty but I’ve got time to get me by
I wonder if her eyes will water
When she chops the onions that I bought her
Coriander eyes will never leave my memory
This bottle’s almost empty but I’ve got time to get me by
Coriander eyes will never leave my memory
This bottle’s almost empty but I’ve got time to get me by
