Cup Of Tea

Im visiting
The grounds a little weathered where I stood
Right field in my neighborhood
I was mostly last, always least
Dig it
At graduation everyone
Will throw their hats into the sun
Then theyll drop like flies to the sea
This is not my cup of tea
And valerie
The winter wont be keeping her around
Im nailing leaves to the ground
But it feels like sand underneath
Dig it
Shes never letting me forget
Ive always been an idiot
And at times like this I agree
This is not my cup of tea
Crash
In a wrinkle of steel we are gone

Her Ornament

never really meant to volunteer
felt the urge to stretch after a yawn
and accidentally raised my hand
i just want to be her special
someone who will never pioneer
i prefer to watch the mudd break off her heels
and turn into cement
i just want to be her ornament
her shadow seems much cooler
camouflage myself
and plan a splendid entrance
i just want to be her situation pending expectation...
i just want to be her ornament
i never really meant to volunteer
i fought the urge to stretch after a yawn
and accidentally lost my head
i just want to be her exploitation and abbreviation...
i just want to be her ornament

Acting As Your Slave

My hand asleep for hours
Waiting for the needles to begin
I have no control
They proceed to penetrate my skin
Acting as your slave I drink for amber waves
I never have embraced
Acting as your slave I drink an open grave
An epitaph defaced
Killing with compassion
She hasnt heard a word that I have said
Swallowing your passion
I can see a thousand miles ahead
Acting as your slave I drink for barricades
That I have often raised
Acting as your slave I numb my head and rave
Of epitaphs defaced
Acting as your slave I drink while she forgave
With trials left unfaced
Acting as your slave I stumble to her grave
An epitaph defaced

Brian's Song

so much to say, so little time
the words ring loud and true
bring forth the graceful thought
of benevolence, brightness, and hue
like others I sing with mr. vox
of strong desire burning
for the one and only you
hat pulled down, weight of the world
weight of the world on his brow
heart on his sleeves and swinging fists
swinging fists at what might be broken glass
i don't believe in revolution
or the statesman's ideology
but i believe in you
if i could rethink myself
i might not act this way
we push the cloak of the world
we wait for light but behold obscurity
living in a cold sweat state
cube of sugar singer

Victoria

Stripping flowers at pedal pace
Twirling blur of legs, legs and lace
Victoria, she loves her name
Running flushed our faces red
Daring her to kiss, to kiss my head
Victoria, she loves her name
Bathing in her innocence
Then drowned in her indifference
Victoria
I left her on her frozen route
I grew up while she, she grew out
Victoria, she loves her name
A social climb by offering love
til everyone was inside of
Victoria
Loves
Now my love wont make amends
You cut the cord on which your life depends
Victoria, she loves her name
Like cheating in a childrens game

Myself

You never seen nobody as divine as
She can see reflections
In her own eyes
An admission of desire,
On a handsome afternoon
Is an ovation to her ego
In her everyone is everything and
Everything is mine
Ms. marceau
You dont need another,
Youll always be your own hero
Myself ms. marceau
You dont need another, youll always
Be your own hero
As if were speaking in
Another language
Every word means i, me,
Mine every hello every good
No escape to the life of the average
Its an ovation to my ego

Veneer

Thirteen miles on 31 are drying
All along adopt-a-highway lay the empty cans of masquerade
Thirteen miles on 31 are drying
The sky is lavender with ivory clouds that threaten drops of finger-paints
Puddle jumping children clad in yellow raincoats splash the deeper purple of veneer
Rows and rows of animals, their shiver skin is painted different shades
And from grazing painted grass their teeth are stained the incandescent green
Indifferent they watch the rainfall steady blend their spots and run their stripes of veneer
Lovely ladies strip themselves of furs the winds require
Lovely ladies bathe themselves in technicolor mire
Lovely gentlemen
At 85 on 31 Im flying
Flying

In Between

In march I met my wonderlove
Then lost her underneath the april showers
By may we worked out our difference
By june the petals were all plucked from flowers
In between my girl
And there is no other in this world, oh no
I am in between my girl
And its gonna be a brighter day
If shed get the nerve to stay
Hey would you mind standing in for
I only need you for this weekday evening
Saturday, I never knew you
Sorry dear, you really need to understand that I am
In between...
She always gives me the runaround
She left me for a college boy
As sure as the world is round
Next semester shell be back again
Were always off and on again
But for awhile Ill surely keep your number

Photograph

If you want beautiful, pitiful, have me in a picture
And if you want make me dance, throw me round spin upon your finger
Blind labors the blind and I am unwilling to uncover my eyes
And if you want take your time rifle through, find a very nice one
If theres a crease in my face over time, theres plenty more where that came from
Words, frozen, will thaw when I am wasted, I am better shut up
And a frame is quite confining, hang me up...hang me up
Im in the photograph
When Im alone and the world is a fist, I am weightless
A universe, gravitate, orchestrate, I am fearless
And spin, the sky surrounding free from all the picture perfect
And spin the sky surrounding, larger than life, meanwhile

Ark Of The Envious

I hear the driving of the nail
I hear the rain I hear the hail
I hear the laughter of the
People dancing round him
As he forces his poor family to set sail
If you dont care you will not cry
If you dont dare you will not try
And now Im drowning in the dark
With thoughts of building my own ark
I feel my babys on the rise
Sits there examining her thighs
In he comes all drenching clean
And lays upon her hard and lean
She comes when he never even tries
(repeat chorus)
Im sitting and wishing I were young
The best lines theyd flow right off my tongue
Id believe that school is social banging in
And banging out and hanging in
And hanging out until were hung
