In loaded darkness Under fake stars The weary velvet glows And time is soft like gold And time is soft like gold I paint the backdrops Weekends and nights While you run lines Imagine you’re just so Imagine you’re just so In the darkness of the back room You can feel your feelings grow There’s a sign says what the date is Like I don’t already know In the cool eye of the mirror I will work on a little close lipped smile That night I dream I’m Hired to clean The windows of your room And everything goes dark And everything goes dark And I weave between the tables Like an eagle through the trees And I land before your family And your eyes lock onto me And I’m handing you your menu And there’s teardrops in your eyes And you say I think we’re ready And I say yeah so am I There’s a window in the bathroom There’s a deer on the other side There’s a number on the napkin There’s a number on the napkin There’s a number on the napkin Just so Just so

Redinaw is burning I lean on the bathroom door See Arizona like Never before Metal haunts the desert And the orchestra just tunes I part the blinds And I glare at the dunes Oh girl you move me oh girl you do You wrote your number On my hand I made a fist of it Won’t open it again Caught in the shadow Of your wings I miss the coverall And the little peace it brings In the rude light of long bars Newborn feelings Writing you a letter Up against the steering wheel Softly it honks and I Know how it feels Tryna hold the car keys Trembling like an old cartoon I try to think Of the trash on the moon Oh girl you move me oh girl you do I found your lipstick In my bag Too soon to throw it out Too late to give it back Know how your heart hangs From a string I touch the telephone And I try to make it ring And it’s always all night now Newborn feelings I locked the door And I slid down to the tiles Slip in the bedsheets Heavy restless child Pile your jackets upon me I don’t mind You’re glad to see me What a line I’ve fallen for that one Way way too many times Try on the perfume And it clings Light on the evergreens And I wanna cue the strings On the dark roads of square states Newborn feelings

Black tea You breathe the steam I say your name What is that screaming It’s flowers in the rain Dreamt I was flying Baby I can’t land No one understands No one understands Great Lakes and sheets of rain It’s meant to be You grab your handbag Zip it angrily Watch where you’re going You could go too far Kissing in the car Kissing in the car Flowers in the rain Flowers in the rain

The baby grand piano boy Lost his mind inside the ballad Hard to find the midnight valid You better burn it in your mind Bleeding hearts and heartless no’s I’m so scared of uplit faces And how windowless this place is Better to burn it in your mind The singer squints his light brown eyes My the wind is really blowing And your confidence is growing And it is lonely out tonight I gotta find Something blank I can write on Oh I sleep with the light on Train your eyes on the dance floor All my friends getting married Oh I’m not getting married On the floor train your eyes My blazer pockets are so shallow And my confidence is broken And you’re all so softly spoken And I am spoken for tonight In the quiet of my suit In the arms of leading ladies Baby grand piano baby You better burn it in your mind I gotta find Something blank I can write on Oh I sleep with the light on Train your eyes on the dance floor All my friends getting married Oh I’m not getting married On the floor train your eyes Someone’s dime you can dine on I gotta find something soft to lie on Train your eyes on the dance floor All my friends getting married Oh I’m never getting married On the floor train your eyes

Blue eyes flicker in a sudden dawn A sudden dawn and you’re all pins and ribbons Shadows yawn in the wind in the dead of the night Your heads heavy and your heart is full Your heart is full like a fist full of jewelry Love is cruel and unruly and you’re out of time There are knives in the cupboard and cats in the jungle Cats in the jungle cats in the jungle Hear when it roars but feel when it rumbles Feel when it rumbles feel when it rumbles In the mirror is a little girl A little girl in a plastic tiara You don’t know her you are her you’re at it tonight Bright red ribbon on a Christmas gift A Christmas gift on the seat of a Honda Rumble strip when you drift cause she’s haunted your mind Cause she’s haunted your mind Now those people out there have driven for miles Driven for miles driven for miles Teeth in your mouth and deer in the wild Deer in the wild deer in the wild Swallow the tears you’ll ruin your makeup Ruin your makeup ruin your makeup Run at the wall and maybe you’ll wake up Maybe you’ll wake up maybe you’ll wake up

Lifelike Ghostlike Childlike Flowers in the wild like Faces on the news I speak In faint Rainbows When we wear the same clothes Don’t know which is you I can hear your sneakers on the gravel I can hear the blinking of your eyes I can hear the hissing of the skateboards The hissing of the skateboards Is closer all the time Tail light Porch light Fire light Voices through a wire like How can that be true In my Smoke-filled Kitchen Sweating all decisions Murdering the mood Can you hear my finger touch the doorbell? Can you hear the blinking of my eyes? Can you hear the hissing of the skateboards? The hissing of the skateboards Is pulling at my mind

Off White 04:52
Oh we miscounted And now we’re surrounded And the sun sets in the dust And this saddle isn’t mine And these boots just aren’t me The color’s very flattering But the leather doesn’t breathe And I’m on the phone with my heart tonight And I wanna know what your kiss is like And I put a drop in my open eyes And I want it white but it’s all Off white Somebody push me I love when you shush me Cause the hair stands on my arms And the dishwasher is done And my heart beats very slow You hand me bowls and cutting boards But I don’t know where they go And I’m on the phone with my heart tonight And I wanna know what your kiss is like And I put a drop in my open eyes And I want it white but it’s all Off white

Like a tooth full of gold Like a pale yellow moon Like a bulb on a wire Like a bulb on a wire Like the room of balloons They were helium filled But they’re eye level now But they’re eye level now All right I’m here who’s in charge All my matters still at large Touch my hand and tell me what to do Not only am I upset I’m upset and overdressed Pumpkins rotting ruining the view Like a tooth full of gold Like a lunar event Like a bottomless drink Like a bottomless drink Like a home video Of a blur of a night That you wish you erased That you wish you erased God you’re nice pretty and smart I’m not I fall far apart Pumpkins rotting ruining the view All night long I try to sleep Sleep is no sweet treat for me Touch my hand and tell me what to do It’s a cold halloween And the princesses whine And you’re glad you’re a ghost And you’re glad you’re a ghost And a heart is a bulb And a camera’s an eye And if nobody knows And if nobody knows
9.
Dry white heat tonight And a rabbit on TV The mirror makes the room big The rumor rises out the door And I have no way And I have no way You wait by the car In the summer with wet hair A meadow in the background A sweater with an open weave And I have no way And I have no way And I have no way And oh the room So clean Like Edison had lit it in a dream Everybody laughs And everybody looks at me I’m a nervous wreck today Denise I’m a nervous wreck today Denise Now it shakes the walls And I turn the TV high You love it when the moon is A sliver in the afternoon And I have no way And I have no way Everything is closer than it seems The sentiment of love The ragged edge of my long waking dream I’m a nervous wreck today Denise I’m a nervous wreck today Denise
