The Acrimony 04:17
I walked home without my shoes Kiss him on the mouth for me Smile and bear in mind What you gave away was mine

Disregard 03:27
Can you tell just by looking at my face Where I woke up last night Can you see on the back of my mind Who I laid my head upon There ain't a question in my head That you could answer with that tongue There ain't a word on the tip of my lips You'd care to understand my son So if you give me room to move I will run so far away And if you give me air to breathe I will spit it out of my lungs When they tear life out of my hands I will kneel down at their feet But if they dare return it to me I'm making my bed down on 39th street 'Cause I don't know Where I woke up so late last night And I can't remember the girl Who I laid my head upon There ain't a question in my head There's just a bitter taste on my tongue And I've forgotten all the words To that song so sweet and long

He sees right through me He wishes I'd get him drunk Like I did On the other side of the world Why does he keep me Is it out of some abusive Wine-stained Generosity High enough on the shelf Not high enough for anything else Look how tall I am On top of some building full of Climate-controlled payrolls High enough on the shelf Not high enough for anything else

Last July 03:50
I talked to someone else's problem He was a little bit shorter than you Don't interrupt me whilst I'm talking I know that it's easy to do And he's long gone by the time that he goes If you follow Or if you'd care to I called him the cops They said he'd had a bad month He found him some money He went and filled up his pill box It was a little bit shorter than you If you follow Or if you'd care to And as the man caught that bus And the bus caught that man And as the woman drank that water And the water drank that woman And as the girl took those drugs And the drugs took that girl And I sat there stone-dumb And I didn't know where I was I was a few blocks from home I talked to someone else's problem He said, "You got any money?"
7.
Sometimes a mind gets terribly wasted When thinking with it's hands And it can wake up far from home And singing in a band With some fate-less intuition That rends and tears and binds It sits off in the distance And loses track of time Why did I come down here What did I expect to find So far from everyone I know Losing each one at a time Lord knows I can't drown myself in whiskey My pay just ain't that high But I can scar these bloodless lungs Until I can't pronounce goodbye One spoonful at a time He disappeared from view A crooked wooden box Far uglier than you

City Lullaby 04:33
Clean the pots and clean the pans And lay your head in mother's hands Don't you wake until the dawn Has come again and night is gone And she'll be there 'till you have grown And you can set out on your own Or stay And wait for her to go Plant the seeds and till the land And lay your life in father's hands Don't you ever leave the farm And fool yourself with city charms And he'll be there 'till you have grown And you can set out on your own Or stay And wait for him to go
