One of those fucking awful black daysWhen nothing is pleasing And everything that happens is an excusefor anger An outlet for emotions stockpiled, anarsenal, an armour These are the days when I hate the world Hate the rich, hate the happy Hate the complacent, the TV watchers Beer drinkers, the satisfied ones Because I know I can be all of those littlehateful things And then I hate myself for realizing that There's no preventative, directive or safeapproach for living We each know our own fate We know from our youth how to be treated How we'll be received, how we shall end These things don't change You can change your clothes, change yourhairstyle Your friends, cities, continents But sooner or later your own self willalways catch up Always it waits in the wings Ideas swirl but don't stick They appear but then run off like rain onthe windshield One of those rainy day car rides my headimplodes The atmosphere in this car a mirror of myskull Wet, damp, windows dripping and misted withcold Walls of grey, nothing good on the radio Not a thought in my head
Let's take life and slow it down Incredibly slow, frame by frame With two minutes that take ten years tolive out Yeah, let's do that
Telephone poles like praying mantis againstthe sky Metal arms outstretched So much land travelled, so little sensemade of it It doesn't mean a thing, all this land laidout behind us I'd like to take off into these woods And get good and lost for a while
I'm disgusted with petty concerns Parking tickets, breakfast specials Does someone just have to carry this weight

The light within me shines like a diamondmine Like an unarmed walrus, like a dead manface down on the highway Like a snake eating its own tail, a steamturbine Frog pond, two full closets burst open indisarray Soap bubbles in the sun, hospital death bed Red convertible, shopping list, blowjob,death's head Devils dancing, bleached white buildings,memory, movements The movie unpeeling, unreeling, about tobegin
I've seen your hallway, you're a darn callaway I've hear your stairs creak I can fix my mind on your yes and your no I'll film your face today in the sparklingcanals All red, yellow, blue, green brilliance andsilver dutch reflection Racing thoughts racing thoughts all tooreal You're moving so fast now I can't hold yourimage This image I have of your face by thewindow Me standing beside you, arm on your shoulder A catalogue of images, flashing glimpses,then gone again I'm tethered to this post you've sunk in me And every clear afternoon now I'll think ofyou up in the air Twisting your heel, your knees up aroundme, my face in your hair You scream so well, your smile so loud, itstill rings in my ears
Inhibition, distant, tired of longing Clean my teeth, stay the course Hold the wheel, steer on to freedom Open all the boxes, open all the boxes Open all the boxes, open all the boxes Times Square midday, newspaper buildings News headlines going around You watch as they go and hope for some goodones Those tree shadows in the park They're all whispering, chasing leaves Around six PM, shadows across thecobblestones Girl in front of bathroom mirror She's slow and careful, paints her facegreen, mask-like Like Matisse," Portrait with GreenStripe" Long shot through apartment window A monologue on top but no girl in shot
