one is no fun
two is a snooze
three is treat if somewhat incomplete
a little petite
tying your shoes
lacing your sneaks
why settle for six when you could have eight feet
crossing your street
they skies are blue on domingo avenue
there's someone new...
catching your bus
paying your fare
viewed from above
there you are two pair
a perfect square
in your seats
tapping your eight feet

fall apart
like the pieces of a broken heart
cupid shoots a tiny dart
suddenly i fall apart
fall apart
i'm as stable as a house of cards
pull out the queen of hearts
suddenly i fall apart
it's only fair to warn you at the start
whatever you think of me, i'm falling for you hard
so be kind to me
kiss me sweetly in the inky dark
because i'm falling hard
and i don't want to fall apart

two teenage
classmates
learning to speak en francais
he's so smitten that he can't concentrate
the first date
they're ship mates
then sailing at night, they stargaze
did she know even then that someday he'd say
i've been sailing my whole life with you
blair with all we've been through
we're still sailing through our lives, it's true
i've been sailing my whole life with you
they marry
they sparely
furnish the apartment where they
make a bookcase from the wood that they stain
a family
movie
made when their son was newly
born. watching it later when he's grown... with his own... on the way
i've been sailing my whole life with you
blair with all we've been through
we're still sailing through our lives, it's true
i've been sailing my whole life with you
we're still sailing
we're still sailing
we're still sailing
we're still sailing

and take my hand
and be whole again

herpetology's the calling for me
studying these creepy crawlies
the slinkers and the hop-arounds
and those who burrow underground
friday night, in the laboratory
making slides, recording data, or we
analyze what we accumulated
visualize what our data stated
all the while caecilian populations
underground in secret copulations
were they found, we'd be excited
...alas we're not invited to
caecilian cotillions
they're black tie, the ladies wear vermillion
caecilian cotillions
200 species, i wish there were a billion
they live their lives, subterraneous
i love their eyes, subcutaneous
aquatic kinds, and amphibious
that hip-less spine is so lascivious
caecilian cotillions
they're not snakes, nor are they reptilian
caecilian cotillions
they have no legs, they're the slinkiest amphibian
caecilian cotillions
they're not in spain, many are brazilian
caecilian cotillions
200 species, i wish there were a billion
caecilians

a few words said
just a bit of melody
two newly weds
go walking through the redwood trees
that's where father time
keeps ten thousand years of histories
he knows everyone who every was to be
in those rings within a redwood
a little man
just beyond his infancy
making little plans
it began as just a possibility
that old father time
keeps ten thousand years of histories
he knows everyone who every was to be
he knows everyone who every was to be
in those rings within a redwood

before she was a frog she was a polliwog
and she wiggled, wiggled, wiggled
just heads and tails flipping out with her friends
turning up the amp in amphibians

you can rock and roll like a tadpole
you can rock and roll like a tadpole
you can rock and roll like a tadpole

you can wiggle, wiggle
got no knees she got no feet yet

Greg, Brad, Rob, & Laurie,
all because he gave her his stethescope
she wasn’t falling for this rope-a-dope
he gave her his stethescope stethescope stethescope
she keeps it next to her heart
they teach their children sailing
life jacket on? over the railing flailing
and when their friends are ailing
their advice is so unfailing, they're prevailing because
he gave her his stethescope
she wasn’t falling for this rope-a-dope

peice of fluff
pile of dust
bit of crust
swept under our rug
roots of trees
rotten leaves
forgotten seeds
pressed under our feet
take a guess
find what’s left
unexpressed
said under our breath

Needle Pulling Thread
01:23
|
|
||
|
lauging without a stich
i’m like a needle pulling thread
collapsing a broken bridge
you got me falling out of bed
inverted bowl on my head
grasping cut to the quick
your hands are clapping in half time
flashing without a picture
i can hold you in my mind
pluck all the ties that we bind
write your name your name underlined
|
||||

|

do you want to lie with me
underneath the apple tree
do you want to hold my hand
tell me i'm your only man
because i want to lie to you like lovers do
because i want to lie to you like lovers do
do you want to separate
slow it down, hesitate
and then we get to start a new
this time i’ll tell you something true
because i want to lie with you like lovers do
because i want to lie to you like lovers do
slow down can we slow down for a minute?
slow down you know we're still just beginning

One Track Mind

says she never noticed my two left feet
how i’m always hopeless with the beat
how did she get roped with stupid me
wouldn’t say i’d blame her for wandering eyes
i look a little plainer than other guys
i’m a no-brainer for a one track mind
and she’s got a one track mind
despite all the flaws she could find
she’s stubborn in love
and her mind’s made up
and she’s got a one track mind
despite all the flaws she could find
she’s stubborn in love
and her mind’s made up

everything's funny it's so rue
it’s funny 'til it happens to you
everything's funny it's so true
it’s funny 'til it happens to you
better slow down honey
take a closer look
all that glitter isn’t money
don’t judge a cover by it’s book
better slow down honey
look it in the eye
all that glitters isn’t money
sometimes a joke is just a lie
everything's funny it's so true
it’s funny 'til it happens to you
everything's funny is true
it’s funny 'til it happens to you

a faded bruise
mulled wine and spice

Angels

sometimes i notice
something small
might have been nothing
there at all
sometimes it hits me
all at once
somebody pinch
i’ve been touched
who left these angels in my bed
who left these legos where i tread
who drew their monsters on my walls
where there might have been nothing there at all
sometimes i see it
for what it is
everso fleeting
breath it in
and then it hits me
all at once
somebody pinch
i’ve been touched
who left these angels in my bed
who left these legos where i tread
who drew their monsters on my walls
where there might have been nothing there at all

put it in your pocket
but then you went and lost it
never should of brought it
bet you never thought it
it’d be gone now
oh wow
so sorry now
probobly could have called you
bet that’s what they all do
always seem to fall through
frankly i’m appalled too
so sad
too bad
so sorry now
thought that i could shake it
didn’t mean to break it
counting each mistake it’s
keeping you awake it’s
so sad
too bad
so sorry now

Little Man

shut your mouth
raise your hand
time to be
a little man
start to slouch
be a little bland
shut your mouth
little man
look around
at other guy
he don’t color out-
side the lines
start to doubt
what you are inside
compare yourself
to the other guy
control yourself
suck it in
hate to loose
need to win
sucks to feel
thicker skin
control yourself
live to win
that’s the trap
watch your step
maybe you don’t
see it yet
born a wolf
die a pet
that’s the trap
watch your step
shut your mouth
raise your hand
time to be
a little man
start to slouch
be a little bland
shut your mouth
little man

action at distance
strange persistence
from the start
silent returnings
queit yearnings

a bridge too far
we tried to build
bridge to far
overshoot the stars

a bridge too far
we tried to build
bridge to far
overshoot the stars

overshoot the stars
just try and remember you weren't always as you are
try to remember being together in my arms
try to remember me the man i used to be at the start
we tried to build

why send a save the date
what’s there to celebrate
why bother cut the cake
if it’s all the same
another valentine
one stutters will you be mine
they’re suddenly choosing wines
it’s all the same
it’s all the same
it’s all the same same same same
pulling the petals out
as if there was any doubt
so what’s there to talk about
it’s all the same
another day goes by
who knows the reason why
how’s this for an alibi
it’s all the same
it’s all the same
it’s all the same same same same

One Day

one day
the music fades away
the songs will all be played
the pipers will be paid
one day
it will be enough
to hold the ones you love
you have the magic touch
one day
you will walk away
from the fights that you could win
because there’s nothing to be gained
that you don’t have within
and that’s where we’ll begin
one day
there’ll be nothing left to say
the songs will all be played
the pipers will be paid
one day
you will walk away
from the fights that you could win
because there’s nothing to be gained
that you don’t have within
and that’s where we’ll begin
one day

i spy
with my little eye
a hint of your thigh
i try to look away but
i hear
with my little ears
your laughter so clearly
i can’t quite escape it
better keep it to myself
‘cause
i know
from my head to my toe
you ain’t putting on a show
so i think i’ll just go and
keep it to myself

enter me carefully
look at you stare at me
a moment of clarity
do not trust what you see
you have lost your way
in magic mirror maze
science or sorcery
a figure of course it’s me
looking back wordlessly
and it occurs to me
you have lost your way
in magic mirror maze
you have lost your way
in magic mirror maze
