lyrics

I wish to be our city’s lonesome laureate
Of one-liners, ‘cause I can’t afford the two
Come on in world, walk through the open door
That rigged-up threshold ain’t a line anymore

This is my trick, this is one type of beige life
It can be as dull as an easygoing (in) knife
It can be as fictional as wrong is to right

I want to help you babe suss this muck all out
Angle your eyes to fill in these holes of doubt
I hunger by and by in my garden at dusk
Masking the hurt still hoping for a bit of luck
Prose is the judgment, death is the other

And that’s the final thing I want to say
Let the bronzed bodies fall where they may

But even in our worst state in a double light
Through a long hallway straight into the night
I don’t need any story of the beyond you see
When girl, you’re sleeping in the hole next to me
When the laws of knowing come down to it

I’m gonna take the gumshoe’s theory and make it fit
Cut me loose now babe or sunder me never
You and I know there’s more to this than truth
Like a secret buried in a wall of a house you once ran through

And when there’s nothing to be done
And you and I for good ol’ fun
Scribble out the words in sand
Words from Because I Am
