I am so tall to you
As we waltz past the moon
Your arm through my elbow
The rhyme in our shoes
I ain’t no funky dancer
Yet we glide ‘cross the room
If the smile’s dripping off my face
The reason is you
We both talked to the walls
Couldn’t face each other
There was always another low
Yet to discover
When our demons conspired
To melt us in hellfire
We clawed to the lands above
The reason is love

Trust

Daddy’s got one nice suit
That he wears when the man from the trust coves over
To talk about the money that he can’t recoup
Daddy says it’s flown away
On the wings of happier times
And thinks that they turned up the gravity
On the rest of us
Daddy says he wouldn’t last a week in the city
With his quaint Old World ideals
Like loving and trust and responsibility
A working man’s sensibility
He doesn’t think he’ll raise too much this year
He sees the crows circling the trees
That shade the only home he’s even known
And now the devil wants to make his own
He says he’d like to fly away on the wings of the days
That have long since turned to dust
‘Cause they turned up the gravity
On the rest of us

Most of my days are spent
Gleaning apples that have fallen off the richest trees
With the beetles in the crackling leaves
Where I can be at peace
Someday all this too will pass
Someday all this will be history
Ain’t got the gray matter to augur
Eden or Gomorrah
So let’s hitch our rides with those that do
Keep your army small but true
Fill the orchards with your retinue
Look for me in your footfalls
By nightfall the enemy
Your friends down every avenue

Edge of Everything

Living on the edge of everything
The skyline kneels
Human-scale overpowers steel
And the mirrored towers of nouveau powers
Serve simply to reflect the clouds
That stumble past
That ebb and flow
Maybe learning from the folks below
Or on to some higher place
Where their appreciated
Or on to some higher place
Where their seed can tempt the ground to grow

All the Right People

Fighting for your life
Fighting every fight
So you’re doling out an earful
At least you’re fighting all the right people
But when night rolls around
You take your tush on the town
Swish the blood through your veins
Make the boys go insane
‘Cause when you shake it
The whole world shakes it with you
They got know choice but to do
What the music tells ‘em
Oh my god it’s so confusing
Are you winning, you losing
You rock the black and blues’n
Once you learned success was stressful
Now you’re rolling with a chest full
When you finally get your way
This’ll be a perfect planet bathed
In never ending twilight
Like the dream of Mr. Branson
At least she’ll finally find you handsome
