Burning giraffes in the streets / the streets of Madrid / burning giraffes in the streets / the streets of Madrid / kneel down by the water / see the armchairs in the sky / kneel down by the water / to taste the stars/emerge from the egg an elephant / he grabs his moustache moustache moustache / timepieces and Shirley Shirley Temple’s head / with a fruit dish on the beach in the sun / an apparition / spooning flesh from the body / pull the drawer from the chest / spooning flesh from the body body body body / both hands filled with black ants / flip the record my dear / he’s already died once / listening to Tristan Und Isolde / Dali painting the sky / Gala / Lorca / Dali painting the sky//

Furs

Drive-in movie screen burned down late last July / left a burning parking lot at the corner of Blaine and Oxford Tennessee / in the middle of rush hour traffic / can’t get my window to roll down in this heat / can’t get my window to roll down in this heat / legends of wolves, John, Paul and Ben / written from above, written on our hands / and the sweat on our backs / the sweat on our backs / the shirts shirts shirts we sweat through / the shirts shirts shirts we build in/the shirts shirts shirts we play in / the shirts shirts shirts we drive in / drivin into the sun leaving Omaha at dusk / all the pollen hanging over the corn fields / all the pollen hanging over the corn fields / slowly falling and it’s turning orange / as the air cools off / as the air cools off / stop sign in the middle of Minnesota / not sure what to make of this / not sure what to make of the bridge over the Mississippi River / we used to cross it in wagons / we used to trade our furs for directions, trade our furs / the shirts shirts shirts we sweat through / the shirts shirts shirts we build in / the shirts shirts shirts we play in / the shirts shirts shirts we drive in//

Shaky
03:57
|
|||
Shaky fists shaky tree limbs ribs burning / fine fine wires fine fine silhouette don’t let the skyline fool you / place your palms against your eyes rub them blind / the bony wings of all the songbirds lining the fence posts / nudge your fingers against the glass reflection / I’m not longer sure why I thought it would hurt more than this does//

||||
Building homes lies in all our thoughts / spent my life tryin to get what I haven’t got / what I got is what I sought / holes and holes, holes in my socks / carving trees into table tops/ planting crops in our backyard lots / See the birds in the graveyard / grey as the stone / press the snow against your heart / see your breath against the frozen trees / gotta keep this town alive / gotta keep this town alive / gotta keep this town alive / gotta keep us all alive / see the birds in the graveyard / press the snow against your heart / press the snow against your heart / against your heart / against your heart / against your heart//

Mahoney
04:59
|
|||
I try to quiet this mind of mine / to break the drone of storylines / I cry and holler for nursery rhymes / with tales of lives a lot like mine / that wind and wind the countryside / and hike these hills to face these fears / I climb the mount to shout out loud / to cry for lightning up on high

We’ve got the same old cause//

What a pretty dress you have / what a pretty dress you have oh / what a pretty voice you have / what a pretty voice you have oh / oh Antoinette oh oh I I / poppy wide each petal drips dry / we’ll paint them red red red rose red / but don’t lose your head don’t lose your head / what a pretty neck you have / what a pretty neck you have oh / oh Antoinette oh oh I I / poppy wide each petal drips dry / we’ll paint them red red red blood red / but don’t lose your head don’t lose your head/

In the silence of the night / the walls are glowing with torch light / rest your head on silky sheets / don’t you worry god will keep you safe and warm / that shadow’s just a pitch fork//
