David Berman Bot

I post David Cloud Berman lyrics & poetry every few hours (Silver Jews, Purple Mountains, Actual Air)

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

I tell you, they make it so you can't shake hands when they make your hands shake

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

Patiently encroaching on the animal
The weather of forever retaking control
Darkness and cold, darkness and cold

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

Cause I'm a man who has a wife who has a mother
Who married one but she loved another

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

People send people up to the moon
When they return, well, there isn't much

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

I want to wander through the night
As a figure in the distance even to my own eye

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

I'm a loser, she's a gainer

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

No, I didn't really want to die
I only want to die in your eyes

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

The drums march along at the clip of an I.V. drip
Like sparks from a muffler dragged down the strip

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

Smith and Jones forever!

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

The sun and the shutters and the sun shattered hair
The butler hesitates at the top of the stairs
A kitten from Great Britain sleeps behind the drapes
An old silver bowl filled with apples and grapes

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

The river winds 'round these little green hills
And stays in the woods for days
We were built to consider the unmanifested
And make of love an immaculate place

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

Because the dead do not improve

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

When on and off collide
We'll set our souls aside and walk away

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

Repair is the dream of the broken thing
Like a message broadcast on an overpass
All my favorite singers couldn't sing
All my favorite singers couldn't sing

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

Wings and brandy on a winter's night
I guess you wouldn't call it a scene

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind
When the here and the hereafter momentarily align
See the need to speed into the lead suddenly decline
The dead know what they’re doing when they leave this world behind

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

On the last day of your life, don't forget to die

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

Well, there's trouble in the hall
And trouble up the stairs
And trouble in the trouble
That's troubling the air
Please don't say that my soul has died away

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

It's making horseshit sound true to you
Now it’s impacting how you're acting too

[David Berman Bot @DavidBermanBot]

Legends of gold I've tried to hold
In the grey half-light of the hallway at night
One, two, three, four, five
We're trapped inside the song
