did you understand me right?
the people here are good.
they tell me what I should have done
and offer what I could.

I get down on my knees and pray.
I'm sorry, so sorry...

Mr. Richards, your conviction
Had us cheering in the kitchen,

So tell me how is prison?

We've begun to bridge the schism.
Pay attention, pay attention.

The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal
lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool.

Reddened their necks, collared their clothes

She gathered the corners and called it her gown

We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up, not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow.
I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.

pleasure is melting like chocolate
my blue ribbon gumption is gone

Ears that are still,
Children of today on parade,
Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way
Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.

Album: Murmur
a broken wrist
an accident
you know that something's wrong
you fold the leavings of your past
no one knows you've gone.
the sunspot flares of the early
nineties light up your wings.
and scan the shortwave radio
it's tracking outer rings.

Was she willing when she sat
and posed the pretty photograph?
Save her flowering and fair,
the days to come, the days to share.
A big smile for the camera,
how did she know?
the moment could be lost forever
forever more

I read bad poetry
into your machine
I save your messages
just to hear your voice.
you always listen carefully
to awkwards rhymes.
you always say your name.
like I woulden't know it's you,
at your most beautiful.
Song: At My Most Beautiful
