Falling off bricks (Tin houses in a storm)

Wallplanning fun
And the eye of the world
Rotating like a corkscrew
They shoulder their ravenous burdens
And sail to the heavens
And sail to the heavens
And sail to the heavens
To send them our love.

Stun-blaster gun
At the end of your arm
If they drop it, it may all be over
But can they accept they aren't the king of the hill?
So far from the light
So far from the light
So far from the light
At one with death.

Sing out to the stars
And sigh
Sing out to the stars
And I
Sing out to the stars
And maybe they
Just may hear
And care
Enough to do something about it.

Take your ship
To the chill of the moon
They'll never find us there
The wires are crossed
The lines are broken
And we are all alone

And sail to the heavens
So far from the light
At one with death.
To send them our love.
Sing out to the stars
And maybe just I
May just swing by
Oneday soon.

Take us from this place

She took
Off into oblution
Floating like a flotsam
Can you ever trust me?
Taking all for granted
Bring it home to father
I'm sure he will be happy
Like a rabbit in a hole
You'll hide from us all.

We circle
Patient and cunning
Flowers in the springtime
Inevitable, beautiful
Sinuous and splended
It's never untintended
As you cry out on the floor
In a pool of your own mind
When there's nowhere left to hide.

Handgun
To blow away your problems
Do you jump at shadows?
Will you take your feet off?
When the swimmer sights the shore
And she was waiting
Patient and cunning
A flower in the springtime
Inevitable, beautiful
Sinuous and splended
It's never untintended
When you cry at nothing
Drawing all the crowds in
Hysterrical and useless
Mystical and bruised
Lying like a newborn
In a puddle of your mind.

Smile said the spider

Happy and sad
On a small jumbojet
Taking me places
I'll never suspect
Just what's round the corner
Or behind the next cloud
Or behind the glass-shutters
Fitfully endowed
Their blessings
Like a billows
Blows the fever chill
Of summer-snows
Down my spine
Through my mind
I think its time for tea
Or a cup of something
To cure my mind
Lying supine
On the clammy carpet-floor.

You
Behold a monster
You
Read between the lines
You
Are pure like plaster
Breaking all the time

And I think I'm still standing
It's a miracle you see.
When you wave your
Indignant nonsence
You caroom through the air
And yet you wish
You could fly
You could fly.

Jiggle-Jam

Wink-wall
At the singlet state
Toppled towers
Mud-clinging sadly
Through stained-torn pages
Of a journal.
Don't switch the light
It flickers nicely
Where it hangs like a dewdrop
I don't want to leave.
Tip-toe through the insanity
Put your mind at rest
On a magazine blanket
And hydrazine.

Her apronstrings
Were drawn out
To catch me as I'm falling
Like a line through an open page
Bursting from sight, and I
Couldn't find a way to tell her
Everthing
That I wanted to say
As her hands clasped over me
And bore me safe away
Cause I was falling.

Her tear-stained ambitions grated
Like novacane on a summer's day
Will you talk for just one minute?
I have nothing more to say.
Emphatic as a sea breeze
Chilling as the moon
A haze to faze the iron willed
A weakness turned to boon.
I am all you will ever become
Why can't you see I have you at heart?
You cannot care
I cannot bear
To let you ruin me any more
When even the heavens call.

Jack and the Jacknife

Surprise gently brushed her features
With the scarlet hue of blood
Or maybe it was anger.
"I'm sorry"
And that was that
Paraplegic tendancies
Won't mask a weakened heart
"You always try to hard"
Talk, askans
Like a predator
Smoke-silent
Stalking through the forest
Keyed for the weakeness
I have none.
Or maybe I am all weakness
To provide a united front
From which to farwell.

Insomniac

You have driven me from sleep
And strangely awakened, I
find myself wondering what I
Ever used to be.
You have taken me away
And flying in circles, I
Find myself hearing all I
Ever used to say.

But now it makes no sence
This innocense
It keeps me drifting at night
Why won't you lend me a light?

The lights flicker off and on
Yet the omnicient hum of
The fridge down the hall of
Our house
It keeps me up at night
And all I think of
Is everything you have
Done to keep me inspired.

But now it makes no sence
This innocense
It keeps me drifting at night
Why won't you lend me a light?

The other night I was
Strangely asleep in your arms
I know you kept me from harm
And I never questioned the cause.
You are a knight on a crusade
And the question I ask is
Are you up to the business
Of killing the monster I have made?

I only drift away
There's nothing more to say
We should have given it another try
Before another life says goodbye.
