When you’re all alone
With the dial tone
Just call me up
I’m all always home
Singing sad songs
For cell phones
Yes I’m always home
In the darkened room
Where your shadow looms
And the both of you
Are feeling blue
I sing a sad song
For cell phones
I sing a sad song
For cell phones
And I’m always home
I sing sad songs
For cell phones
I sing sad songs
For cell phones
I sing sad songs
I sing sad songs
I sing sad songs
And I’m always home

Hello Friends
Pinned to black
Dimly winking
I’m blinking back
What day is this?
Is this my leg?
The morning quiet
Reminds me of snow days
Barista- krishna-oh-la-lay-la-lay
It must be cold in outer space
And now the bean
And now the pot
And now the steam
And now the shot
And now the cream
Which floats on top
Barista- krishna -oh-la-dee-la-dah
Oh caffeine how you fill my heart
And the part of me which can play a part
Will play Barista- krishna -oh-la-dee-la-dah
And the part of me which plays a part
Will play Barista-krishna-oh-la-dah-la-dah

A Song Before Bed
01:34
|
|||
May two make one
And dipoles become
As dell dot is naught
As zeros sum
At once at once
May I know my will
And not just haunt
My haunted cells
These arms each leg
My head’s own heft
Oh may it rest
And wake refreshed

The Actuary's Tale
02:45
|
|||
Forsaking our language
How would we sing
Of anguish
As fruit seeds
For gas masks
So too we need
To bear witness
And I read the actuary’s tale
I hate it
And I found exactly what I feared
So I named it
Oh monsters
Fictitious
I name you
I bear witness
And I read the actuary’s tale
I hate it
I found exactly what I feared
And I’ve named it
I read the actuary’s tale
I hate it
I found exactly what I feared
and I’ve named it

The Best Of All Worlds
01:49
|
|||
We are parts of the best of all words
Let’s remark on the mess of our births
And our reward oooh the multiverse
What is lost in our lives unobserved?
What’s the cost of the thoughts we discern?
And our reward the multiverse

Song For A Winter Night
01:14
|
|||
Look the orbs release their light
As their hydrogen ignites
And my love does wander by my side and sits with me tonight
Oh our hearts are filled with love
They are also with blood
And our lungs our filled with a winter chill and also oxygen

Lo! The unknowable approaches
It holds no discernible form
And our science is as our songs are
A useful metaphor
And we humans we look for patterns
Patterns for that’s our flaw
We’re flawed in that we’re fragments
Of continuous, irreducible, infinite, beautiful, phenomena
And though we’ve named apoptosis
And we’ve named the graviton
And we claim to know what folded time is
In truth all metaphors are wrong
And perhaps we’re all awaiting judgment
Or perhaps we will repeat
Perhaps we will be raptured
Perhaps we’ll simply cease
Perhaps whatever happens will be continuous, irreducible, infinite, beautiful, phenomena

Hymn For Lost Wages
01:20
|
|||
Ms liberty strong to save
Who’s given me an honest wage
Who’s bidden the depression deep
It’s own appointed limits keep
O hear me when I cry to thee for our lost provisions
And all the perils we face as a union

Red Letter Year
02:11
|
|||
The red letter year has come to conclusion
We both will adhere to new resolutions
Each decision we reach leaves us new choices
Each leg we complete brings new adventures
so as you were my love my love and my co-pilot
We’re beginning again, we’re relentless we are tireless
As you were my love my love and my co-pilot
We’re beginning again we’re relentless we are tireless

Song For Not Quitting
01:37
|
|||
Misery, you’re no match for me
And I never leave a thing half complete
The seminary it’ll wait a year
We’re young, life’s long, and we’re needed here
To put grades on tests, to put kids in desks
To put up with their worst and expect their best
So misery, you’re no match for me
And my friend Cecilie
