Fate Is...

Come on baby show me all your smart blood
Hazel’s standing outside on his car
Following you home to your apartment
You were planning something without Jesus
Only reason that I did it was to find out what it’s like
Pass the billboard on the street and wonder if hell will swallow me up
Fate is drawing back its leg to kick me
You stand outside and preach through the glass at the movies
You filled all your shoes with rocks and left the house
Then when you got home you had the things to blind yourself
Only reason that I did it was to find out what its like
Pass the billboard on the street and wonder if hell will swallow me up.
Fate is drawing back its leg to kick me.

I’m creeping myself out again
I had to call all of your friends
Someone had to tell them
Don’t make me go back there again
Tall grass is bending in the rain
Billboard made me change my mind again

I’m laughing through tears
The phone keeps ringing
Misspelling four letter words
Isn’t it something
Longest day of the year
It’s too much
Condemned I am condemned I am condemned I am
Sky looks like a bruise today
I slip my smile under the rug
I watch the evening news today
I tried my best not to look up
We invented kissing and comedy
And that’s plenty
Dull with their misplaced pride
And their love of violence
Young mothers hair in curlers
Doing the laundry getting the mail
Condemned I am condemned I am condemned I am
Squirming like a postcard with an unreadable address
Teardrops stay in your seats and I’ll do the rest
The train dissolved on the way to your house
I’m relearning everything I have known from the start.

Underneath

Underneath, what’s underneath?
Underneath, what’s under nothing?
You like men whose brains destroy them
I’m the one who dies when you drink poison
Smoke was coming from the engine
Your alarm went off this morning
I like the way you say you miss me
Say it standing next to me
I fell asleep at the parade
But I dreamed of it for weeks
I like to close my eyes and watch
The shade change shape
Underneath, what’s underneath?
Underneath, what’s under nothing?
We were standing in the parking lot
When we watched the world stop.
Finally got to the front.
But neither of us were tall enough.

The evening hydroplanes
The streetlights they start screaming
The air is thick enough to hold
Your nose starts bleeding
You kindly, slowly walk around your empty house
The smallest sight of you is shimmering on the ground
November
The love and sadness on the corners of your smile
The night outside is restless waiting for the light
The windows smirk at me they’re letting in the dark
There’s nothing like the way you loiter in my heart
November
No...

Maura’s yelling over music playing at the party
She knows options make me nauseous
She knows I'm annoyed and cautious
She knows stupid things can stop this
I am looking up pink coffins
What’s normal for the spider then is chaos for the fly
And Sissy’s teaching all the parakeets and frogs to hitchhike
Joanie’s birds are telling her the time
The sounds I’ve heard but never noticed
I can leave the window open
I am nervous

You close the door in the hall
It makes the pictures fall from the wall
Winter’s singing in the shower
And the leaves are changing color
In my heart you’re number 1
Fell for you at the Texaco pump
I put mornings back together
After tearing them apart
I know it's time for bed
Your eyes are getting red
What’s making the noise outside
When its quiet on a Sunday night?
Don’t wash your hair
The socks and shoes and underwear
The attic light left on all night
My back against your chair

Revenge of the Lawn
02:46
|

|
I’m turning white in your white sheets
I sweat my forehead clean
I set my cheek on your cold floor
I open all the drawers
Steady myself on the doorway
Steady myself on the door
Reflect of candy wrappers on the street
I turn the blinds ajar I show my neon teeth
I’m here if someone sees me
I’m here if someone sees
