Pinhole Camera

pinhole camera in a shoebox
the money says aloha and the oxygen walks
here comes the father ringing our necks
our pockets are empty but he never checks
and i have my doubts, have my doubts
alive with the passion of a much shorter man
i will calculate badly the swing of my hand
and if i knew you then well i don’t know you now
i would shed my skin completely if i only knew how
but i have my doubts
i want to be in charge when i lose control
i want my say-so
tight with the temper of a much younger man
i will cry over the signals that i don’t understand
i am breathing in while you are breathing out
yes i am breathing in while you’re breathing out
but I have my doubts, have my doubts

Mexican Birds
04:49
|

|
black high flyers
wings like blades cut through the mexican days
like dark ages menace mounted on a mobile turning slow
arcing slow
making a good show
over the death row down below them
not unlike the pelican six deep regiment of beaks
ninety percent beak
cruising for the weak swimmers
crazy with marching orders
skimming off the cream
your instinct said don’t dive too deep
foaming around me
i am swallowed by the sea
i’m not friendly, i’m not built for this
there’s no ceiling and no gravity but i can’t live without you
the best of luck is just enough, so i am wishing for the tide to come up

Married on a Monday

grace of timing, your baby-bump rising like the coming-up of the sun
we are the ones shining, taking turns, moving in
plates aligning, the mountains obliging too
send a message across time
we are the ones shining, a new generation moving in
married on a monday through the metal detector
come on eileen come on eileen
ask me if i do
i do
look behind you, the gaping horizon looms
calls your handywork obsolete
the sunset is dying, a new generation moving in
married on a monday through the metal detector
come on eileen come on eileen
ask me if i do
i do

horses away and now who rides who?
the saddle sits high and tries the tension in the metal shoes
i brush the hide to bring out the best in you
the saddle shines and vies for the attention of the sore caboose
and hey old buddy easy on the thigh
always with me pulling to the right
the arrows miss me every time i ride hey hey
i spy the engine by the steam over the hill
the silver plume rising like a monument to my unbroken will
will i get the girl will i get the gold? i’m riding hard and the hooves on the carpet of sage beat loud and bold
hey old buddy easy on the thigh
always with me pulling to the right
the arrows miss me every time i ride hey hey
part of the act we practiced in hollywood was when i jumped the railing guns-a-blazing down to your burning back and we rode
she’s in the back of the bar car
she is not drinking alone
i meet her eye as i pass by
pass on my way to the vault
hey old buddy easy on the thigh
always with me pulling to the right
the arrows miss me everytime i ride hey hey
