The Noone Skeleton
White light hits me, it is morning again,
The cold shower, the shudder, I run and dress
it’s time, it’s time, it’s time, it’s time
to go to the parade.
Mom and dad asleep, they’re hungover again
The turning mother she covers her head
the snoring father is dead
Crawl through the basement for my skeleton mask
My sword, my cape, and my uncle’s flask
Still filled somewhat from that weekend past
He threw his clothing from the roof
He cut his arms, all the way through
And yelled and yelled and yelled at everyone
He whispered to me his life was shit
and laughed and mumbled that “this is it”
His breath and stubble hurt when he gave me a kiss
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fat blue women, screaming so loud
their skinny husbands look around
phones ring in my face as I push through the crowd
I drank the flask, I smell like him
Looking at you from here within
And you don’t know who i am
And no one knows who i am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m inside looking out
It’s much better
No one knows who I am
It’s so much better
To be the no one skeleton
I’m inside looking out
It’s much better
No one knows who I am
It’s so much better
To be the no one skeleton in the parade

Listen to the Night
The car is cold tonight
Its a long night’s drive
The silence so alone
Still a long way home
Reach and turn it on
hear the same old song
Voices all alike
I turn it off and listen to the night
Light glows on the radio
Dial turns but it doesn't go
Choice gone on the radio
Its all the same, anyway
Antennae soaring high
A thousand blinking eyes
How they dance with me
an endless company
Nothing worth a damn
A rain on all of man
A storm of transmissions
Endless signals that never find a home
Light glows on the radio
Dial turns but it doesn't go
Choice gone on the radio
Its all the same
Dial turns on the radio
Choice gone on the radio
Its all the same, anyway

All all those years
Did you know that i’m alive
I cast my words every night
I tie a brillo pad to a rusty wire
All all those years
I receive no reply
We move endlessly
Blindfold on, sweat drowning me
My teenage guards look like you
Late at night they miss someone too
All all those years
I receive no reply
Oh i can’t see
you’re attempts to reach me
Oh i can’t breathe
The truth is i don’t know you

Stay Awhile
When i’m sitting here, by myself
They rise, my hell
Eyes are shut, I disappear
But they won’t let me ever forget they are here
I need you, to please come by
Bring some beer, stay awhile
Don’t go, they’ll be back
The couch pulls out and I got movies in the back
All that I know, all that I wanted
Never you go, now that I found you
A yellow grin, a crooked mouth
One long finger, reaches out
A dirty nail, so long and dry
waving slowly at me, until we’re eye to eye
A tall drink, any brand
Heavy lids, heavy hands
Stay close, sit next to me
Tell me something, begone the misery
All that i know, all that i wanted
Never you go, now that I found you
All that i know, all that i wanted
Never you go, now that I found you

Polyanna
I see a wide-eyed child who can't resist the water
and a falling leaf that lands across his face
As a blinding light dances through the dust
Like a mother she's picking off an eyelash
will you catch that silhouette on that woman’s arm
Dangerous, dangerous, so dangerous
That careful eye
looking all around
you see it everywhere
it happens all the time
A vast orchestra
with a chaos in its heart
It’s meaningless
it happens all the time
Dangerous, dangerous, so dangerous

For Fifty Years
We've lived together
on this frozen plain
for fifty years
And the sun is rising
but not for you
there you lie
Through wind and downpour
i've loved you here
all these years
Its not easy
It don't get easier
Its not easy for me
So i build the final shelter
i make our last bed
You and i rest together
in the most beautiful
place on earth
Its not easy, it don't get easier
Its not easy, it don't get easier for me

The Bare Bulb is Always On
Eight a.m. once again in your room
the bare bulb’s always on
Through the window your eyes are still shut
you put torn clothing on
From a push you came down that long flight of stairs
down to the blood
For the stains you got hit by your mom and she said,
“look at what you've done”
Settle down that school child
The games stop now. No one make a sound
A line for a mouth, a stick in his hand
lessons from above
You hide in a stall down the hall and away
sit there all alone
That bell is so shrill your breath goes away
you stand up and you walk
To the crush of the day you have no other way
a bare bulb‘s always on
Settle down that school child
The games stop now. No one make a sound
Settle down that school child
The games stop now, the time is done. No one make a sound

All Bridges are Spiders
When the landing gears moaned
I woke up to look through my oval and it was breathing
A garden pulsing with life, streets are corals in the sea
all the bridges are spiders
A weaving of lights, the faint shuffle of life
And to think I am just one of them
The closer we come, the lights turn into things
these things become everyone
So look at its heart, its bursting with rays
It lights up our airplane
From the oval up here i see a lifetime away
i see my childhood below
I'm gangling fourteen on my rooftop all night
and i'm looking up at me
The bird is gliding by, slips the quiet of night
with a rumble behind it
Glide down home. Heart lights up
Glide down home. The light shines in your eyes. Heart lights up
Glide down home. Heart lights up
Glide down home. The light shines in your eyes. Heart lights up
