“Loved One”
I’m not long for this world
But I got a cemetery girl
Rocket ship off to Mars
Right off the walk of stars
Loved One
Loved One
Like a Lion in Jonathan Winter
Isherwood tells the tale
Like a Lion in Jonathan Winter
Isherwood gets paid to scale
Loved One
Loved One
Wrap me up in embalming fluid
Boy genius and guru be damned
Wrap me up in embalming fluid
Joyboy’s no ladies man
Loved One
Loved One
Like a lion in Jonathan Winter
Stealing all them poet’s name
Like a lion in Jonathan Winter
Love is dead gonna take a plane
Loved One
Loved One

“Flowers on the Wall”
Maybe I called too many times
Maybe it’s all in my mind
Maybe I muddied the waters for the last time
Maybe it’s all just fine.
Maybe I should put it down for a while
Til it just don’t feel so bad
Maybe try and be friends for awhile
‘Least that’s what my mother said
So I’ll just leave flowers on the wall
You ain’t gonna take my call
So I’ll just leave flowers on the wall
You’re not gonna take my call
Read a book the other day,
Said some things that I was trying to say to you
Put it down in a letter
To which you replied, “What a nice review”
‘What a very nice review’
Guess I’ll put it down for a while
So I don’t feel so bad
Maybe try and be friends for awhile
‘Least that’s what my mother said
oh I don’t have friends like you
and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do?
oh I don’t have friends like you
and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do?
So I’ll just leave flowers on the wall
You ain’t gonna take my call
Just leave flowers on the wall
You ain’t gonna take my call
..not gonna take my call
I’ll just leave flowers on the wall

“Nothing Fades (Like Love)”
I see you all the time
I see you in my mind
A promise I was made
A promise that’s been delayed
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
They Say
A phrase I often hear
And it’s been a banner year
They say you’re like a bruise
A mark I’ll quickly lose
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
They say
I see you in my mind
I see you all the time
A promise I was made
A promise that’s been betrayed
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
Nothing fades like love
They say.

“Raton”
I’ve been broke down outside of Raton
I’ve been broke down outside of Raton
Looking for a steel box to put my clothes
These Caplin mounds ain’t nobody’s home
I’ve been broke down outside Raton
I’ve been kissing you in Steilacoom
I’ve been kissing you in Steilacoom
With the taste of a lie that’s been postponed
And the air that gets pushed through a drone
I’ve been staying in a cheap motel in Des Moines
Is there God here, I don’t know
My ankles sure been eaten up though
And the air here smells like sick
Just like that blizzard back in 9-6
I’ve been staying in a cheap motel in Des Moines
Been broke down outside Raton
Been broke down outside of Raton
Been broke down
Outside
Raton

Holiday Ennui
Holiday Ennui
Dear Ali Fear Eats the Soul
Staying up late has taken its toll
Things you said stick in my head
How much work can you do from bed?
Holiday Ennui
Holiday Ennui
Is it ugly to give so much?
Expectations like a crutch
Think much, Cry Much
Is it ugly to feel so much
Holiday Ennui
Holiday Ennui
[solo]
Holiday Ennui
Holiday Ennui
So much beauty is like a whip
And your mouth tastes like mint
Feeding on Proust and peanut butter
Loneliness is a long distance runner
Holiday Ennui

“Obliteration Room”
In my room I have to obliterate
All my thoughts I need to emancipate
All the thoughts I have too innumerate
In the mirror I see a degenerate
All the things I have to enumerate
Build a room to help me obliterate
In the mirror I see a degenerate
All the thinks I have too innumerate
In the room I have to obliterate
All my thoughts I need to emancipate
All the ‘I’s I have, too innumerate
In the mirror I see a degenerate
Emancipate Enumerate Obliterate

“Crush Box”
Rose tea in my crush box
Bell on chrysanthemum gate
Hyacinth in my teapot
Boy I hate to wait
Birthing in a land without safety
Birthing in a land
Without safety
Rose tea in my crush box
Bell on chrysanthemum gate
Hyacinth in my teapot
Boy I hate to wait
Birthing in a land without safety
Birthing in a land
Without safety
Rose tea in my
Crush box
