Broken Glass
00:22
|

I meant to tell you I had broken glass in my garden
But as I stood there staring I forgot everything
Beauty comes in too many shapes
And now you have to suffer for my imbecile ways

Unlikely Places
02:58
|
|||
To find sustenance in the
Most unlikely places
Like the color of something
That just the other day
Went unnoticed
Lies there as if
Placed in purpose under my feet
Fulfilling the need I didn't know I had
Like my friend Sarah said

Carpet of Queen
02:50
|
|||
Carpet of Queen Ann's Lace
Bags of bottles
Others will fill the vacuum after us
The wind combs the old grass
Puts leaves in our hair
We coat the world with beeswax
Finally
It's there

Rosetta Stone
01:10
|
|||
I'm watching TV
Behind my laptop
With my GPS on my lap
Please don't pull on my earbuds
I'm learning with Rosetta Stone
I'm texting my friends to tell them
I'm not taking calls in the next five minutes
Still my phone is ringing
My new iPhone is ringing
I knew I should have bought
A vibrator instead

Sweat of Your Brow
01:02
|
|||
I see the sweat on your brow
Sparkle in the sun
Like diamonds and pearls
I see the fun in your eyes
from all the things you've done
The things that you love
Don't go to the bar
You are much more sexy when you're working
Don't go to the bar
You are way more sexy when you're working

One (for Blake)
02:01
|
|||
There's an easy way
It looks like it was done
With the flick of a finger
The wave of an arm
When you peer inside you'll find the time
spent trying
and re-trying
and re-working
and adjusting
all the pieces that go into one
that flow so gracefully

Colors

Show me a color and I'll show you a grain of optimism
Show me two colors and I'll make you a picture
In it you'll recognize your favorite teacher
Floating down the river riding icebergs
On a beautiful sunny afternoon
Show me three colors and I'll make you a picture
Of a bicycles' wheels spinning faster and faster
Tryin the beat the coming rain and
ending up cussing bout the one missing fender
Show me four colors and I'll make you a picture
Of bright woolen socks hanging on a line
All alone
Dancing in the wind
All alone
Making people stare
At the fools with no dryer
Show me a color and I'll show you a grain of optimism

Sirens
03:01
|

Shattered mirrors
Foot deep
All over town
People wading
Staring at the pretty red stuff around

Repülj gyorsan paripám
Milyen gyorsan kicsi gazdám
Mint a szél vagy mint a gondolat
A gondolattal repülünk
Így is három évbe telik
Mire megtaláljuk Tündér Ilonát
Hull a véred jó gazdám
Kacsalábon forgó palotában az ördög tartja fogva a lányt
Az örök ifjúság vizéből ittam
Megtalálom amit kerestem
Az enyém lesz a lány
Az enyém lesz a bátorság, az erő, kitartás
Az enyém lesz a lány

Moving Song
01:59
|
|||
Keys clinking car starting blankets and sheets in the back
Flowerpots bicycles towels tools books by the stacks
Take the records with the player the welder the camping stove
Lampshades of assorted colors
Crayons log cabins lots of paper with the scissors and the rocks
It all has to go somewhere else
But I thought you were coming too
|

The reds all collide when you get here
And say the most inappropriate things
Don't you notice how heavy the air gets with unexplained thoughts that just complicate everything
Why can't you simply be honest
Red is just red
Even when you wear it
Some things are best unsaid
But when you're asked you should answer
Didn't your mother teach you that
It's simple as that
|

Necessity
02:30
|
|||
Another house spilled its insides out
As though someone had turned it upside down
And shook it
Everything came tumbling out through
The broken windows and the kicked down doors
Someone will rearrange the garbage overnight
Out of necessity

Hummingbirds
02:49
|
|||
The hummingbirds are in town on Thursdays
Sitting at the bar smoking, drinking Sundaes
Didn't you see them coming
The people of the town are getting ready
Moaning and groaning lift their belly
Slugs and nectar awaits them now
Didn't you see it coming
When the bees left their hives
It's gonna be hard to fill in
To fill in with feeling
Cause they don't sing
They make a sweet sound with their wings
And we're not there to hear
No sundaes served
Not fattened by our fire not flattened by our tire
I'm tired
We're fired
|

That's Why
03:56
|
|||
Windowsill afterthoughts on how they could have taken all that belonged to you
And now they're just standing there
with their hands open for more
Just how much can you spare
They'll leave the rest of us in ghettos by their trash heaps
But we'll burn our own flames
And unlike them we are still able to be happy
So many hopefuls stand by the fire
Will the smoke favor them and
Bring the smell of a warm glazed donut
