Smiling at the Coast

Glory be to the rising son of opportunity’s ghost
You look both ways when you cross the disadvantaged
And the destitute
Wave upon wave of advantage
You never planned it
You just showed up smiling at the coast
You’re coasting along at the cost of real people’s lives
Alone at the most
About your lost relationships you keep reposting
And you’re trying different clothes
You try to shed a tear and tremble
But you only feel what you know
So you canvass hard for felicitations
At the click of a ghost
Is this what you want?
Is this what you need?
Let the gentle waters lap me up
Let the healing begin
Let bygones be bygones
Let the funeral parlor know
Which hole you want to bury me in
Now I think I’ve made it
I’m chewing consecrated wafers
Lifted to a higher post

You said, “I have to get alone. I won’t be pathetic!”
Struck by an impression from Seurat
Basking in the sunlight
Basking in the sunlight!
Ooh, emancipated minor
The hoops you had to jump through were just criminal
Click to attention
You must show the world you’re not untenable
Untenable
Ooh, razor blades
Your sister had to hide them from your easy view
Bills to pay
You stack them up like donuts on the countertop
Now the moon is spinning faster
Like loose change at the laundromat
How did you make me feel like that?
Ooh emancipated minor
Your future is original

January Dream

Moving fast from the underbelt
Forming teeth and substance
Far below the equator’s crust blindly
You take the paces
Ooh, it’s so inviting
How you countermand
Negating my former versions
Resetting the clocks again
Felt the thump
Heard the caterwaul
Gentlemen take your places
Ooh, it’s so inviting
How you countermand
Negating my former versions
Resetting the clocks again
Ooh it’s so inviting
The way you countermand
Resetting the clocks once more

Slow Shadow
03:27

I forgot the sunset
Fell in a trance
Last glow of the day
Dragged itself across the carpet
Voices from so far away
In unison, in harmony
Deep from the stereo
Singing “Dripping down the alleyways”
Inside a slow shadow
Voices from the room next door, wash over
From the darkened streets below, wash over
Ooh, slow shadow
If only I could stay alone
Twin bed in a yellow room
Always I will be there
A dream awake
Inside a slow shadow
Ooh, slow shadow (voices from the room next door)
Ooh, slow shadow (from the darkened streets below)
