I'm late for work and always last in line. My boss is yelling at me "be on time". So I ask myself what I want to do. I'm underpaid and tired. Fuck the rules.
I turn my television on. And all I see are blood and streets. The family stranded through the night. Are hungry with no inn insight for them. . All of the lives lost.
I've lived nine lives, I've lived them well. I've carved my crash course straight through hell. I've broken bones, I've had my spills. It fuels my cyclone heart so.
One gigantic heart. Just refused to start. And now that the world's behind me. I'll lay here quite joyfully. . We went for a walk. To enjoy the day. Distracted by a bluebird.
I have no space, no room to move around. And this box is getting smaller, I'm trying to get out. How did I get so far from where I was?. When did I decide to lose my way? Who have I become?.
Look at me, so strong and free. I've got a front row seat here on the top of the world. People say I get my way, my life's a holiday. And I'm such a independent girl.
When I leave this town you will not see me cry. An East Texas town with all the wells run dry. Looking to the sky, waiting for a change. No sign of rain.
The sun doesnt rise up. It never goes down. Thats just how it looks as the world spins around. Its hard to believe it. But sadly Im told. Some stars that I see now.
Good morning and good bye. I'll Get to my agenda. Fourth period, Jesus Christ. I'm the one you terrorized. . I'm too tired and it's too late. To have this conversation.
[Verse 1]. I'm gonna let you in. With some poetry we begin. Get loose while the record spins. I could be your new best friend. And then even more. We could click.
Im a little bit rusted, a little bit worn. my frames just a little askew. my manuals missing, my packagings torn. but Ive got an offer for you. . if youre in the market Im here on the shelves in the back.
A town like this can tear you down until you feel theres nothing left to hope for. a day like this can chew you up and spit you out and leave your head on the floor.
Never been to Mexico. It's only half a mile or so. the mission on the bluff, below. Don't get out much. Crow tastes like chicken meat. And I've heard cats land on their feet.
So, she says it's time she goes. But wanted to be sure I know. She hopes we can be friends. . I think, yeah, I guess we can say aye. But didn't think to ask her why.
Locking this out, faking this smile. 'Cause nobody goes dark like me. Keep it all in, hold it together. 'Cause nobody feels just quite this tired. So tired of these wires that bind me.
While we mortgage our souls to the mercy of the streets,. The lien holder throws out more food than he eats,. You never know how close you are to that close call,.
As we drive to the sharpest point of our being,. We must turn our vision to the clearest point of our seeing,. Our savaged senses in the crosshairs of a system,.
Oh I can only fumble my lyric,. When it comes to a song of you,. The poet in the man undone by your beauty,. And the treasure of all you do,. I feel I have spent my whole life in your praise,.
I suppose you could empty a language into this beginning,. Goddess double helix of next world never ending,. Wrecking all our wonders salvaging our syndicated woes,.
