Sad About an Ice Age

sad about an ice age
sunrise, exploding colors
seaside, skipping stones
backyard, picking berries
sticky sapp hands from a pine tree
in an ice age, you can forget it
when it's all gone, you will regret it
historys most expensive trash can
we'll be dead but
it's too bad for someone else
newport and hyannis
flying kites and playing tennis
a cold drink of water when you're hot in the summer
things like that are there when you need them
in an ice age, you can forget it
when it's all gone, you will regret it
historys most expensive trash can
we'll be dead
but it'll be too bad for someone else
history's most expensive trashcan
we'll be dead
but it's sad to think about
and it's real scary
green grass fresh air and oceans
best enjoy them, 'cos no one's seen heaven

Hug Me Drug Me

hug me drug me
part my lips
kiss goodbye the infection
powder up my complexion
take my heart for a run around
taxi window
thumbing through my address book
touching all those familiar numbers
tip and stumble into the street
hug me, drug me
my sweet IV
hug me, honey, ‘til you drug me
help me get high
spill out on the dance floor
place is teeming with assholes
text someone I really don’t know
hold out hope for some relief
no more questions
‘cause it takes so long to say goodnight
hug me, drug me
my sweet IV
hug me, honey, ‘til you drug me
help me get high
taxi window
thumbing through my address book
touching all those familiar numbers
never say goodnight
hug me, drug me
my sweet IV
hug me, honey, ‘til you drug me
help me get high

Almond Eyes

almond eyes
lately you have been thinking lots
think so much that you just fall asleep
recurring dreams of how you fucked up
wake up fogged and sleepwalk through the day
looking back, you should have settled down
her almond eyes are now all that you want
at a bar on a monday night
crushing beers like you were seventeen
saw her sitting there by herself
looking good at a table set for two
a bird flew by as you walked out the door
you saw a streelight shine and buzz and burn out in front of a drugstore
lately you have been thinking lots
think so much that you just fall asleep
the dreaming stops and a nightmare starts:
a lonly guy in his seventies
a colossal dread
a twin bed and a dog
a t.v. meal
and the sense that all hope is lost
her almond eyes are now all that you want

Canary in a Coal Mine

canary in a coal mine
how long is there a great wide open
how high should I be feeling
warm sun splitting my head wide open
cool wind feels like an ocean
sweetheart, met in a school play backstage
snuck away to kiss between sets
new car, sped off to sink in love’s start
but sun shined in and made me forget
it keeps coming back to me, oh please
so keep coming back to me, oh please
keep coming back to me
hopefully I’ll wait and see
you’re still coming back to me
drove fast, spotted your face as I passed
one last look became a few days
smoke rings, a haze of familiar feelings
but wind blew in and swept me away
it keeps coming back to me, oh please
so keep coming back to me, oh please
keep coming back to me
hopefully I’ll wait and see
you’re still coming back to me
canary in a coal mine
hamster on a wheel
rat in a cage
I better act my age
and give into what’s real
canary in a coal mine
with nothing left to feel
when everything I gave
is all that I became
a kid without a name
a never ending game
so keep coming back to me, oh please
keep coming back to me
hopefully I’ll wait and see
you’re still coming back to me
