Sayonara, Baby
We had a “thing” - it was so cool you had to put on a sweater
Someone caught: NOW turned to NOT with the switch of a letter
Sayonara, Baby
Sayonara
We are alike: that makes me right, that makes me unnecessary
The burden of your love (or should I say drug?) is too much for this one mule to carry
Sayonara, Baby
Sayonara
No longer mourn the night you left. I was crazed and confused
But I am no empty jar – won’t be reduced and reused.
Sayonara, Baby

Irreversible

Shame that I’ll miss your mama making a fool of you
Too bad for you your papa don’t care what your mama do
I feel like I woke inside someone else’s dream
Like I memorized the wrong lines for some other scene
By my calculations and by all accounts
You’ve done something irreversible
Me with all my schooling I still missed all the cues
I put a feather in a jar with a photo of you
My big vocabulary I still can’t find the word
For between what I believed and what I heard
Now all I feel is a fire burning up my soul
I’m falling from a wire to a certainty below
So if you trying to reach me in the next few years
Address your letters “Lonelyville” (anywhere but here)
By my calculations and by all accounts
You’ve done something irreversible

Girl in a Picture

Summer rain falling on me
On my window pane
You can see right through me
Is it only a game or smoke and mirrors?
Folding back all your layers I found a heart
Wrapped up in paper
Like the skin on an onion
An illusion of tears
Summer rain falling down
On my window pane
Summer rain falling down
On my window pane
I'm a girl in a picture
Holding a picture of a
Girl holding a picture
Sleight of hand
Join me to your caravan
January to December
And back again
Wishing well
Caught up in a
Game of shells
Caught up in the
Kiss and Tell
Everyone you know
Summer rain falling down
On my window pane
Summer rain falling down
On my window pane
I'm a girl in a picture
Holding a picture of a
Girl holding a picture
Summer rain falling on me
On my window pane
You can see right through me
Is it only a game or smoke and mirrors?
Summer rain falling down
On my window pane
Summer rain falling down
On my window pane
I'm a girl in a picture
Holding a picture of a
Girl in a picture

Exit Wounds
04:24

You looked right through me
Eyes of a doll
Over a barrel
Heading for the falls
You set me adrift
In a little toy boat
Your heart in your head
My heart in my throat
Make it all disappear
I can’t stand you so near
And so far away at the same time
Make it all go away
Put an end to today
And the knowledge that once
You were mine
Unique situation
One I can’t explain
Desperation, needs no one to blame
You had me at goodbye
You had me in the past
We had no other choice
We had to break the cast
Make it all disappear
I can’t stand you so near
And so far away at the same time
Make it all go away
Put an end to today
And the knowledge that once
You were mine
And I would know your face
From a distance
And you would know
My name
So what’s the use in resistance
Darkness to a flame
Avalanche, earthquake, monsoon
Your kisses left
Exit wounds
Make it all disappear
I can’t stand you so near
And so far away at the same time
Make it all go away
Put an end to today
And the knowledge that once
You were mine

Blow Me A Kiss
03:01

Blow me a kiss
A ghost from your lips
Sugared whispers of desire
So long ago
While embers were aglow
Dancing a tango in the fire
Rose in a dish
Steam rising up
Skin as chaste as milk
Long long way
Fingers climb
Black stems are made of silk
Blow me a kiss
As you go around
Carousels mislead
Dark horses race
Close their eyes
No reins behind their heads
Warm dry grass
Catching in your hair
Buttons come undone
Lace on your neck
Gentle face
Blocking out the sun
It’s not the sun
That’s blinding me
But razored gaze your eyes
It’s not the noose
That’s binding me
Silk ties of love’s demise
Blow me a kiss
As you go around
Carousels mislead
Dark horses race
Close their eyes
No reins behind their heads

Into Thirds

Pale sky dark clouds
Rain into snow
Word falls look flies
Poisoned arrow
I can't help but
It overflows
Things fall so far apart when you go
You're here but not in spirit
You're gone I can hear it
In your joyless choice of words
You've divided up, divided up, divided up into thirds
Dark sky pale clouds
Snow into rain I can't help but miss you
Again and again
Look falls word flies
More than now and then
Things fall so far when
You're here but not in spirit
You're gone I can hear it
In your joyless choice of words
You've divided up, divided up, divided up into thirds
Pale sky dark clouds
Snow into rain
Word falls look flies
Again and again
Things fall so far
Apart when you go
I can't help but
It overflows
You're here but not in spirit
You're gone I can hear it
In your joyless choice of words
You've divided up, divided up, divided up into thirds

I'm Gonna Love You
03:33

I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Til the day I don't, until the day I don't
I'm gonna have to kiss you when all the others won't
When all the others won't
And the way I know that it's true
Is the way I feel when I do and I do when I'm with you
I'm gonna make you, I'm gonna make you
A cap and gown, just let me be your clown
I wanna take you, I wanna take you
All over town, all over this town
And the way I know that it's real
Is the way I sink when you peel back the layers
I don’t need you to be happy, I don’t believe in one
I just choose to love you the way the morning chooses sun
And the way I know that it's true
Is the way I feel when I do and I do when I'm with you
And the way I know that it's real
Is the way I sink when you peel back the layers

Tunnel of Love

Naughty Cupid draws his bow
From up above
Sweet poison fills your heart
Arrow like a velvet glove
You better buckle up real tight
Say you will, not you might
I’m gonna take you, take you, take you
For a ride in my Tunnel of Love
You know you’re the one
I-I adore
So let me stroke your fur
Make you purr
Make you roar
Seats of satin red
Heart shaped pillow for you head
I’m gonna take you, take you, take you
For a ride
In my Tunnel of Love
Tunnel of Love
Tunnel of Love
Come with me don’t be afraid
My little turtle dove
Please whisper in my ear
The things you’ve only thought of
Take my hand I’ll take the wheel
Take my heart I’ll take a feel
I’m gonna take you, take you, take you
For a ride
In my Tunnel of Love
Tunnel of Love
Tunnel of Love
She offered to drive but I had concerns about the clutch. She learned three on a tree from her grandmother but I ignored her and explained the workings of synchronized gears in the simplest terms. I could see she was impressed by the way those Vermeerish eyeballs drifted in their sockets and lolled around in her skull like a whacked out babydoll…

Rome

She will call you up
Say she’s all alone
That she’s missing you
And her Daddy’s gone
You can smell the booze, the lies
Right through the phone
She will twist and turn
Tell you anything
She’s a clever bird
Faking a broken wing
And the thought of her with you
Chills me, to the bone
I don’t play with broken toys
I don’t have time for broken boys
And Baby, Baby, this ain’t Rome
She thinks you were sent
From the stars above
That you walk this earth
Just for her to love
Well I believe I
Don’t believe that
To be true
She’s a twisted soul
With a dangerous mind
Thinks love is deaf
And you are blind
Well my tongue’s with the cat
While she’s with you
She thinks you were sent
From the stars above
That you walk this earth
Just for her to love
Well I don’t believe I
Don’t believe that
To be true

Love Letter

The stars, the stars shine like the stars
Were shining on the night, the night that we first
The waves, the waves crash on the waves are crashing on the sand
The place where we first
I’ll write you, I’ll write you from a train
I’ll write to the rhythm of the rain
A poem with no meter and no verse
A love letter with no words
The days, the days pass in a haze
Making up a maze of memories
Again, I think of you again, I wonder when… I wonder when
I’ll write you
I’ll write you from a train
I’ll write to the rhythm of the rain
A poem with no meter and no verse
A love letter with no words
The stars, the stars shine like the stars were shining on the night
The night that we first
I’ll write you
I’ll write you from a train
I’ll write to the rhythm of the rain
A poem with no meter and no verse
A love letter with no words
