where's the paper bag that holds the liquor?
just in case i feel the need to puke.
if we'd known what it'd take to get here,
would we have chosen to?

sin and gravity drag me down to sleep
to dream of trains across the sea;
half hours on earth, what are they worth?
i don't know
in twenty-seven years
i've drunk fifty thousand beers,
and they just wash against me
like the sea into a pier.

did my father curse his father for his lust i wonder
as i do mine?
and my grandad curse his sire for his wickedness his weakness his blunder
and so on down the line?

radar systems using the souls
you never get caught with the wax so rotten
all my days i got the grizzly worms
hijacked flavors that i'm flipping like birds

but in this life there's a million people
who want to steal your time
and three million more who'll take you for a ride
you can fill up Central Park with people ready to suck arse
but everything's going to work out jut fine

i am sitting, it is raining,
i am ten thousand miles away,
dense field grey bush,
as dense as can be;
i am in a damp clearing,
i imagine i am waiting,
looking east,
more than halfway around worlds i can't be.

in a world
where people have problems
in this world
where decisions are a way of life
other people's problems
they overwhelm my mind
they say compassion is a virtue
but i don't have the time

hold the raft at the ready, hold it fast, hold it steady;
follow the oceanline, follow the flow;
give me a little time to take what i know,
give me a little time to take what i know;

death needs time for what it kills to grow in,
for ah pookβs sweet sake,

you must have heard
that voice loud and plain
through all the thunder i surrounded you in
and i once had cause
and i once had strength
but i have been selfish
to say the least

in spite of ourselves we'll end up a-sittin' on a rainbow;
against all odds, honey we're the big door-prize.
weβre gonna spite our noses right off of our faces;
there won't be nothin' but big ol' hearts dancin' in our eyes.

Enough - I know it
well by heart,
part of the pulse -
no need to please,
at 2am, waking from a nightmare
to realise the nightmare is not over,
it just keeps on,
keeping on.

don't walk through the wet grass,
you may risk infection;
do anything that takes your fancy,
make an effort to purge your emotions;
set yourself for signs of guilt,
finding none make no reaction;

you get so diffused,
you wanna kiss the ground;
leave no sound,
take it up next year;
chalk it up to remember,
wasted lonely fever.

...lay your head down in the shade;
βcause your eyes are tired, and your feet are too,
and you wish the world was as tired as you;
well iβll write a letter, and iβll send it away,
and put all the trouble in it you had today.
