Garage sale, Saturday, I need to pay. My heart's outstanding bills. A cracked-up compass and a pocket watch. Some plastic daffodils. . The cutlery and coffee cups I stole.
I waited till I saw the sign. I don't know why I didn't come. I left you by the house of fun. I don't know why I didn't come. I don't know why I didn't come.

So your fields are stubble, garden's done. Where the scary scarecrow stands. Sees her holding up horizons with her hands. . She's so tired of reading 'Daddy's Lips'.
I'm feeling sexy and free. Like glitter's raining on me. You're like a shot of pure gold. I think I'm bout to explode. I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air.
I have a headache, I have a sore back. I have a letter I can't send. I have desire, it falters and falls down. It calls you up drunk at three or four a.m..
Happiness / hit her / like a train on a tra-ck. Coming towards her / stuck still / no turning ba-ck. She hid around corners / and she hid under beds /.
Held like water in your shaking hands. Are all the small defeats a day demands. 10-6 or 9-5 trying, dying to survive. Never knowing what survival means.

My confusion corner commuters. Are cursing the cold away. As December tries to dissemble. The length of their working day. . And they bite their mitts off.

I changed the oils and oiled the squeaks. Patched the holes and fluid leaks. Left dust beneath a diabetic moon. . And way to take the TV crews. Across the creaking ice.

On the floors of Tokyo. Or down in London town to go, go. With the record selection and the mirror reflection. I'm dancing with myself. . When there's no one else in sight.
So you don't get to be a saint. Martyrs never last this long. Guess I'll never be the one to defeat desire in song. Here's a marker, here's my naked skin, our Exhibit A.
Calling out around the world. Are you ready for a brand new beat?. Summer's here and the is right. For dancing in the street. . They'll be dancing in Chicago.
Measure me in metered lines in one decisive stare. The time it takes to get from here to there. My ribs that show through t-shirts and these shoes I got for free.

They called here to tell me. That you're finally dying. Through a veil of childish cries. Southern Manitoba. Prairie's pulling at the. Pant leg of your bad disguise.
