summer limo 02:09
i saw a burning light from the television static white escalators were ascending into the sky line up in a single cook yourself on the pavement, fashion a lens to your eye last night in the chandelier i saw the reflection of my years of work looked up to monuments built by transcendental youth alone in flat landscape in the planes i saw nothing just an infinite silence heading for the hills run to the hills if you know whats good for you secrets of our old ancestors open up thee old envelopes and read thee sentences aloud putting our ears to the ground hearing the sounds of our breathing get in the car we are leaving this town is history weekends will never be the same we are always working for a new vain

tearing out all the pages bury them by the tree i see when you're waiting for daybreak, your eyelids are screaming impatiently awaiting daydreams floating in the back of a photograph demolished landscapes hold our secrets (captive) in dirt graves time capsule for the end of the year please keep the floodlight off we're tying up loose ends, hunting yeti in the trees running from the fuzz sleeping in the summer heat jumping over A framed ladders into piles of leaves visiting cat graves you deliver the eulogies straight from your mouth to the heavens as if those white clouds were houses for the dead as if the white smoke coming from our houses was from the dead sap stained the paper clenched, important, in our hands we were dirt boy salesmen with schemes petted raccoon locked in cages supervisionless afternoons - what about being a kid? where's the key? cousin, please wake up. these convulsions are only dreams

you lie awake at night waiting for me to find you you were not the one for me, i was not for you now we're lying on the ground waiting for someone to find us waiting for the to find us she said wake up she said wake up, sally, she said wake up cause youre not breathing anymore and i'll be walking around the city while i wash my hands in your sins darling and i'll be walking around the city while i wash my hands in your blood darling, your blood, darling

light 03:51
i've been the man that i've hated most i've dealt my share of pain i know the things that i've done in the past i know i am to blame i know i must be in darkness i know i must be out of the light i dragged you into darkness it's hard to see before i see the light i've felt love and loss and fear but i was just lookin out for me i was scared you'd leave me alone but together we can live free i know we must be in darkness i know we must be out of the light i know you're keeping us in darkness i won't let you bust out of the light (rock n roll boot kickin solo) i'll be damned if your illusory scam will take the mind of the people clearly, you're blind if you think our mind doesn't realize you're feeble but your days here are numbered people realized what you have done the time of hate will be over and we will all live as one

here comes our man he is dressed for the sand he's got bedroom slippers and a sideways cap walks down the street like a messiah pounds the pavement like a pimp with his cane owes the dealer his first born child's name (it's cynthia) golden watch says it's time psychic doorbell tolls a chime look through the peephole and it's a shivering mine for me to see woke up with a cold sweat took a (little) deep breath a scribbled message under my doormat i wonder where he lies; put a dot on the map this time he wont see me i'm on the sandhills walking on the water i've gotta take care of my daughter it's in my hands in my hands it's time
