Beat Up Little Seagull

Beat up little seagull
On a marble stair
Trying to find the ocean
Looking everywhere
I had a hard time in the city
When I couldn't feel the sea
Ain't no place to run to
Nothing here's for free
Cuckoo on the corner
Waiting for the train
Drunk and lying to his father
Said I's sleeping in the rain
Have you seen the faces
Man, they have no eyes
Hear the city's dyin
I'm none the wise
No it doesn't bother me none
I know it's hard to live
No it doesn't bother me none
Get my sister Sandy
And my little brother Ray
We're gonna buy a pickup
And haul us all away
Gonna live out in the country
With the mountains way on high
I hope I make it back there
Before my time arrives
You know it doesn't bother me none
I know it's hard to live
No it doesn't bother me none

Reach into the Red Sky

Black birch bough
Reach into the red sky
Pulling down drunk birds
Poised mid-flight
Poised in dying light
And hurtling back
To Earth
While terror steels the rabbit's eye
Teeth, beak, hair, and wet
Knuckling in the snow and
Blued by the moon
There cannot be more guessing
Peeling back the horizon

Town's Yawning
03:53

This town's yawning
I'm the only one awake
Streets are whistling
I light my fourth cigarette
Think of my friends
They were once not so dead
What are they all thinking now
I wish I knew
One day I'll be
Just a little stone
No one will know
That the stone had so much hope
Anyway I'm always on the run
That's something I hope to be remembered for
The phone calls I never made
The letters I never mailed
The story I never finish telling anyone
This town's yawning
Let my dog walk me around
He took a shit and people smiled
I tried the same
People frowned
I guess this is an old dog town

Digging Up Dead Wood
03:48
|
|||
I heard that you were hanging on
The dropped edge of yonder
Said you might be trading one
Magic for another
Maybe you don't have enough
Sowing seeds of destruction
Lining up your pockets
With your balled fist buried in them
Digging up dead wood
Digging with a black dog
Nothing ever bridged the gulf between them
The one who stayed
And the one who left for freedom
I'm feeling eager
To get back where the trees greet the sea again
Digging up dead wood
Digging with a black dog

Before the snow
Before the geese

Some day
You're gonna have to touch the world
And although
You are avid and aching
Your affects
Won't help transfigurate
Some day
I'm gonna teach you to hallelujah
Into a black hole
Or else a white wall
Some day
You may
Find your own religion
And I hope that
Your search is all-devine
That you find your way
To the promise of the vine
Cuz every road is a good road
And every load worth the bearing
