All entertainment is already old
Audiences love when the joke don't go
Taking a trip cross the whole continent
A Conestoga that's weathered and bent

Candy stripes and a gartered sleeve
Pedal two miles and blowing loudly
My Shangri-La in a penny arcade
In '55 its a two dollar day
When a suntan meant you were lazy
Equivalent to devil worship
Fantasizing all those magical days
Threading needles is always worth it
Jim Barlow and the Golden Horseshoe
Was so amazing what that guy could do
Murmured heart with a prolapsed valve
Horrible grief it'll happen a lot
Never called home cause I never knew
It was a thing you were supposed to do
The bloody screams of young rock and roll
Listening in on the AM radio
Biloxi born neurotic
No excuse for life itself
I found a home in Garden Grove
that I abandoned just for the road

Given a Razor's Edge and I was reborn
A wood bound scrapbook left me lost and forlorn
They always look better than they really are
But with free love well we ain't bound to go far
When I first saw her. Melissa. That sylph like figure from a family of raconteurs. I found myself staring and falling in love with a family long familiar with oppression. An oppression I never understood. And I never would.
Tabula rasa ill blighted to start
That stupid maxim never touched my heart
But here's this banjo it may save the day
Nobody laughs but the waiters anyway
We buried our flowers in an anti-corporate individualistic freak based culture, that new religion. That new religion of macrame, where I disguised myself as an artist and I started spewing social realism with a biting edge. I felt so new like I could make a difference.
Stormy hubris and naivete
She's not yet holy, not yet alien to me

Brick City

Life begins again knowing that one win
Tumbling with a glowing face of gold
Knocking knees at Oak Street
Linking rings in fifty three
The cheerless formality
Vibrance left outside the home
Lulu was heaven in print
and when debt was forgiven
Spirits soared and tears were shed
Gently weeping in my bed
A complicated childhood qualified me
for a life to hide & escape in the arts
I want to know my brother

Broken bridges, twenty seven stitches
I promise you don't need to tell me more than twice
Your river mouth, flapping wings, raining favors
I can't believe I wasted so much time thinking
Maybe I meant more than something that you could use
Another human to abuse or maybe things aren't as simple as they seem
But when you come asking for
Another stable whore
I'm placing all my bets on my own dreams
That buzzing moan, distorted tone that taste of iron in your throat
I opened every single door and you took credit every step
You think I'll give and give and give until I've dug my own grave and lain right down. What the fuck did you expect?
You're like a cancer roaming freely through the streets your words feeding off the weak and those who hope for more than scraping pieces
Bleach won't clean your hands enough until you've melted every single bit of evidence of your condemning DNA
You better run and keep on running cause this world is much too small for either of us to plant roots in any ground
You're dripping acid all around
You're oil spilling onto shore
Your life is wasteful even more than I state

Asian McDonalds

Eighteen long years, ten learning four refining
Eighteen years, four spent in wild success
Could've been confusion or the coffee
Could've been a place to camp
Could've just been San Francisco
Exotic destinations, man
Making jokes to an empty room
Muttering quietly to myself
Juggling North Beach
Put an arrow through my head
This absurdist balloon act needs some somber tones some sobriety
But my hands keep reaching slowly for your breasts
Oh God you are aging before my eyes

Factory (Part 1)
02:02
|
|||
Businessmen with blood covering their hands
Avoiding Vietnam with exaggerated migraines and a lottery that changed to volunteer
But until then one central finger is reserved for John Frankenheimer who deserves hordes of young men not so young anymore to tear him apart
But maybe Super Dave will save the day
And who am I to save my face from egg
Panic attacks plagued me for two decades
From one bad experience
By seventy two love had cooled to rage
Became a precise tool working the stage
What sucks the success dry is all the fame
My biggest regret is not going to bed with Linda Ronstadt

Factory (Part 2)
01:06
|

But I will write when the road stops from under my feet
and I will talk in a microphone occasionally
and isolation is enhanced by your erotic hips
and let me enhance loneliness with this parting of lips

Distorting what's happening
The audience ain't laughing
But the waitresses are
But the waitresses are
September 27th, 1978
Being left on the ground
Left to murder & rape
Left to murder & kill
You did everything I wanted
All I wanted to do
I did it for you
I did it for you
A reminder of an empty jar
Idaho silence and stars
A reminder of an empty jar
Idaho silence and twinkling stars
