Radio Girl
she loves the radio
she loves her momma and her dad
she likes to stay at home
she said the world is turning mad
she likes to stay up late
and drink wine until she cries
she said the world is turning cold
I love the radio she said
I listen every day
I love the radio she said
I listen every day
we melt like icicles
beneath the yellow dusky sky
and when the evening came
she blinked her eyes and tried to sigh
and all the toxic fumes
invaded every single pore
she said the world is growing old
the radio plays all my favorite songs
Spill Some Sugar (On Me Honey)
if the blue jays had their way today
the sunny sky would scatter all its rays
don’t think about throwing stars away
we were laughing at the frozen rain
bouncing electrons in my brain
take your worries and flush them down the drain
spill some sugar on me honey
and the sun it shines like a grain of sand
on the beach when you hold my hand
I close my eyes and I slowly melt away
spill some sugar on me honey
Pigs
I heard a lovely flowing melody
I want to see you smile happily
how come the elders have no memory?
just like a train wreck that we had to see
and all the baby pigs
walk along the street and
rainbows lead
to the forest where the
seeds still grow
come along
we’ll see a hopeless broken symphony
just like a twisted unsolved mystery
we’ll have a lovely peaceful century
I want to save you from an injury
I want to
feed my friends
until they fall asleep because
babies eat
brown bananas in the
scalding sun
still alive but only
hanging on all day long
Song #4
we walked upon the velvet sand
you held my heart within your hand
slip away to another day
yesterday you were my friend
good to see you once again
slip away to another day
I taped your pictures on my walls
summer melted into fall
slip away to another day
You Don’t Have to Go
I’m sad today
you stayed in hotel
and the moon it shined all day
and the sky
it was green
you spilled kool-aid
in my eyes
and now I’m plastic like the sea
you don’t have to go
you don’t have to go oh oh
I sleep all night
and I live all day
the sun beats down
we laugh and play
you know you’re right
but that’s ok
I love you more
than yesterday
Red Flies
red flies crash the town
they won’t bring us down
stay watch shadows play
please don’t go away
don’t go away
sores no one can mend
sweet dreams that you send
our love that we lend
worlds born with no end
born with no end
The Happy Song
let’s go outside in the sun
the grass is green everyone
is so alive I like you
let’s go outside because
today is a happy happy day
let’s go outside in the rain
the dirt is brown this is lame
we all will die I hate you
let’s go outside because
today is a crappy crappy day
Walking Through the Rain
we were walking through the rain
but I did not feel the pain
that was swimming through my veins
that was there before you came to me
and the rockets and the flames
and the secrets and the stains
and the goblins and the cranes
that were there before you came to me
Angels #1
angels swimming in the sun today
scare the hornets in the trees away
shadows waving in the streets today
hey hey
silver raindrops call your name today
happy leap day let’s go out and play
make the voices disappear today
seven yellow tulips weep today
send the demons in my head away
pumpkins rotting on my stairs today
Pictures
new pictures of you
sell your blood too
they will rob you
who knows it like you
so fresh and new
just say you do
white tailed doves on the ground
sleep well and don’t make a sound
goodbye I’ll see you in town
roadside flowers can’t hide
don’t blink your plastic eyes
pretty smile but screaming inside
Daydreams
and you’re running through the garden
and the rabbits have all hidden
and the mints have too much sugar
and your brain has felt much better
and the jet stream flows different
the water tastes different
your shadow smiles different
and my daydreams end different
you’re staring in the mirror
and your time is one day nearer
and the daylight has no savings
and the flags can’t help but waving
she’s not the kind of girl who lives in the sun
she’s not the kind of girl who lives in the sun
Shadows
blood in my hands
draw with some crayons
shadows and clouds
don’t breathe too loud
everything is so so wrong
too sick to try
don’t ask me why
send my your rhymes
don’t have the time
Pink Roses
it’s summer summertime
I like it like it fine
you’re leaving I’ll sleep late
worlds filled with too much hate
I really like you tell me what to write
I really like you let’s stay home tonight
save birdies on the ground
we heard them make sweet sounds
pink roses in the sun
please tell me when they’re done
the stars in the sky won’t always shine
Yellow Daisies
I was sitting in my room
daisies bleeding on my legs
they were yellow
like a canary in a cage
the sun is shining
through the cracks in the sky
we’re made of ashes
of stars that sparkle and fry
we sat together in the month of July
I was staring through your eyes
cell phones ringing in my brain
I ate some jello
sweet glucose flowing through my veins
the sun is shining
through the cracks in the clouds
