it's been a long night, and the sun will say it's over soon
i'm out of energy ideas & time & sleep
i've checked myself and also wrecked it subsequently
a nap perhaps ten minutes wouldn't hurt
goodnight, my love

Souls in Tow

let all the cannons fire
let all the demons conspire
i'm finally going home
home to the fuck-it-all kids
catastrophic catholics
and a town full of now-i-knows
smile for your children and give them the best,
teach them to drive and to drink & undress,
and as they get older
they'll bear on their shoulders
the weight of all of their souls in tow
sitting in the throes of the game
that goes by the name
of "what did i use to be"
while panting a lullaby
to this melancholy i
can only describe in simile
just as your children grow spoiled and fat,
just as the train is derailed by the gnat,
now wipe all the stick off
'cause i'm getting sick of
the stink of all of my souls in tow
let all the cannons fire
let all the demons conspire
you're finally going home
home to a table for five
where you're well & alive
and loved by your chromosomes
and if you think you spill your blood on the floor,
put on a bandaid and love them some more,
now wipe all your tears off
'cause i'm taking care of
the weight of all of my souls in tow

Looking For

get off the job now you can let it out
oh let that hatred out
flip off your boss, oh yeah
let that bitch know beyond the shadow of a doubt
the hands and feet
the ears and eyes
but we add, divide, and multiply
you're giving me the best
but i want more
are you the one i'm looking for?
you made a mess you've got to clean it up
let him help you clean it up
just send your request to the right address
none of that intervening stuff
the hands and feet
the ears and eyes
but we add, divide, and multiply
you're giving me the best
but i want more

we don't have to part tonight
no, that's alright
don't matter how near from here my room is
we could just chit and chat, let hours pass
we could get comfortable like real friends
but i like you far too much
this might be dangerous
please don't look, please don't touch me
oh sweet endangered soul
you are so beautiful
don't let me make this ugly
i'm sure that we'll joke about
how it turned out
we'll laugh over breakfast in the morning
but meanwhile we could fit together well...
so well i won't let myself even face you
'cause i like you far too much
this might be dangerous
please don't look, please don't touch me
oh sweet endangered soul
you are so beautiful
don't let me make this ugly
don't let me get ahead of myself
don't let me get a head at all
hello accuser.
hello again.
must i answer when you call...
i'll wait 'til you're asleep
maybe i'll sleep
or maybe just watch the glow on the windows
you're lucky that you don't know
this to and fro...
you don't know just how much you put up with
i like you far too much
this might be dangerous
please don't look, please don't touch me
oh sweet endangered soul
you are so beautiful
don't let me make this ugly

Little Dad

big dad likes it when i sing for him
little dad not so much
he'd prefer that i sing to a girl
and he whistles out of tune
big dad wants me to run and play
little dad does as well
but little dad's play is a little bit unusual
little dad's got his pickup truck
that he drives to work each day
he runs the family business
and he'll want me to run it too
big dad's already got me a job
got me working in advertisement
and sometimes it gets dangerous
but it's the very best job i've known
i know i love my little dad
and i know he loves me back
big dad's love for my little dad's less mutual
do what you can
and make the best escape plan
you'll work it all out son.
love what you do
and know i'll be beside you
your dad, the only one.

i should have never doubted you-
is that what you want me to say?
that my problem's not the problem?
that the problem is the world today?
and my friends & professors, they just don't know?
i should have never gone to lakeview-
is that what you want me to say?
that chicago was a monster?
that there's evil in LA?
and i promise that i'll never let you down?
so my friends & professors all want me dead?
i guess i should have listened to you.

something's got to give eventually
someone's got to break away
this statue looks more like an effigy
to these people every day
i say...
someone told me what the score was
us and them, the famous war
i think even that's a sugarcoat
how many soldiers know their place?
and know what they are fighting for?
we need heroes- be one.
no division, let them see one.
let's fight fire with water
if we're who we say we are,
the sons and daughters.

in other news,
it feels real good to be on the other side of 6 AM,
though i'm too tired to think a thing
funny to take the subway uptown on a sunday
i guess it's always scary doing firsts
good morning, babe

Little Things
02:41

i'm no barber
somebody cuts my hair for me,
mostly dominicans ever seem to do it properly.
it's the little things
i'm no angel
somebody takes a pill for me
and that's not my problem...
i wish that i could say that earnestly
'cause it's the little things
and when i sleep i'm everyone you ever wanted me to be
and sometimes i wake smiling.
i wasn't always this tall
and people used to put my clothes on me
and make me waffles
and make sure i had my shoes tied correctly
it's the little things
i'm no christian.
probably people saying prayers for me
and that's all fine...
my heart will catch up with my mind eventually
but it's the little things.
and when i sleep i'm everyone you ever wanted me to be
and sometimes i wake smiling.
and even if my name became some kind of family taboo
just know i'd love you just as much,
and i hope you could say the same.
it's the little things.
