the original berman bot

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

Suffering jukebox in a happy town
You're over in the corner breakin' down

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

the world's not ready
the world's not ready
the chimes of rabies are ringing again

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

A place I wake up blushing like I'm ashamed to be alive

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

how can something so old be so wrong?

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

Let's go hunting blackbirds, let's throw snowballs from the bridge
The fireplace burns backwards, let's not and say we did

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

i can track a single bee to the hive

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

Prison's a good time for some
Many people get caught with a gun
This trucker says it's good to be free
Says he knows lots of folks who agree

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

The lover, the thinker, the talker, the singer
Won't be lucid for her anymore

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

Our minds can dream like soda machines

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

I've been working at the airport bar
It's like Christmas in a submarine
Wings and brandy on a winter's night
I guess you wouldn't call it a scene

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

behind the walls of medication i'm free

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

she was, she was, she was

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

there must be a spanish word for this feeling
the rush i get when i am stealing

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

I wish I had a rhinestone suit
I wish I had a new pair of boots
But mostly I wish, I wish I was with you

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

So get in some licks and hold your head up
And soon you'll be drinking from that crystal cup

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

Sin and gravity
Drag me down to sleep

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

You can call it a spinoff, say it's a knockoff, title it part two

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

Chalk lines around my body
Like the shoreline of a lake
Your laughter made me nervous
It made your body shake too hard

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

If we'd known what it'd take to get here
Would we have chosen to?

[david berman bot @BermanBot]

I heard they were taming the shrew
I heard the shrew was you
