there's nothing much i could give of myself
anytime, any place, any anything else
i had a head start, i shut my eyes
i had a weak heart, i lost a prize
i tried to sink into the slowness
but it wasn't that impressive
it was fun til it was aching
and each to each, beloved stations
am i safe, or not safe
pass by all your secret graves
fashionably bright and blown out
and all these front yards full of flowers

you lived in subdivisions and roundabouts
i sped down country roads and called my shot when i was drinking
i think your life is good and you are unaffected
i think my life is ok without a center
either openly displayed or obscured by bricks
stretch your legs rip your stockings standing up on tip toe
thank you for your compliments i don't feel so heady
thank you for your mirroring i'm not reflecting anything
i tried hard i couldn't look at myself
saw you
wanted to be anyone else
keep the windows cracked and circulating
layers lifted nightly follow falling fast and fading
lay or lie down and lying speculating
i caught the worst case of tuberculosis you have ever seen
i'm on fire i'm on fire i'm on fire
soaked sheets
there's a train in my chest
but i don't have a boss i don't deserve a mention
i don't have a real wish and i don't feel so tender
i misplaced my lenses i seared off my tension
congealed in restraint i chase no withering
and cramped in my beliefs i might as well go follow
i may as well not follow cycle back and forth tomorrow

wander ghostly scarecrow of a shadow
while children play in my neighborhood
steal to slight slope and smooth surface
flourescent and hazy waiting and lazy
and so on til we stop waiting
now my frozen blood betrays me
i tilt my head i show my teeth but i look angry
and so on til we stop waiting
i am not faithless i am true
i have a smile that is faithful
the freeway empties the lights stay on the windows facing
and i walk in shadow not desperation
every time i see you something breaks inside me
there's a pressure in my head and in my bones
just need a spinal tap i won't feel nothing anymore
