Corpus Christi

I wrapped up all my strange dreams in
Clear plastic memory
Safe for the next few centuries
Where the bad times that brought me to my knees
I'm not the only one who's losing sleep
From the storm drains to the flood plains
And out to the Atlantic
Where the parts per million
Are easily forgotten
We'll all partake in
This holy uncommunion
You're banking hard on miracles
Like a biscuit forgets the mixing bowl
It's as good as true for all you know
An endangered beast will die in its tracks
That's water to wine that you can't get back
From the sand dunes of the North woods
To the smoke plumes of Corpus Christi
Where the parts per million
Are transubstantiated
We'll all breathe deep in
This holy uncommunion
To the eye
It's never the right place or time
It's imperceptible
It's beauty in its darkest form
Like a bombed out arts and craft store
We'll make our way through the null and the void
We'll do as anyone would expect
We'll pick through the shit and take anything left
From the desert to the delta
And out to the Pacific
Where the parts per million
Are easily forgotten
We'll all partake in
This holy uncommunion
We're losing faith in
Petroleum communion

So On & So On
04:12

We moved at breakneck speeds
Young wild and free
How complicated can it be
It was a smash and grab kind of thing
If the Titanic can sink
And the Beatles go extinct
Love can spread its broken wings
And learn to fly away
Lover of mine
Would you be so kind
Run with me to the finish line
The day we die
Just remember I
I'm always at home with you
The bargain of the ordinary
Keep upping the ante
How complicated can it be
Man it's coffee and heavy cream
We'll season to taste
The looks on our face
Witness to prices paid
And victories claimed
We pull water from grapes
With our failure and pain
The wine that we drink
Comes from row upon row
So on and so on
We'll crest over hills
Pay off all our bills
Organize our pills
Write wills and get killed
We're in hot pursuit
Dance and move
With collateral damage
Of love

The Arrow In Your Chest
05:47
|

We dug up our roots
Devoured our boots
It preyed on us like a dangerous drunk
We went on the run because payday did not come
Spent a lot of time suspicious of our histories unkown
And beating back our sorrows
I am your marrow your family crest
I am the arrow that is buried in your chest
We burn fossils for light
In the dead of night
Little gravestones all along the road
A white gloved hand in a shiny black body bag
We'll follow it down and hearken to the call of our bad news
In the tea leaves and the tarot
I'm not aware of
Whatever is next
I am the arrow that is buried in your chest
Free in the priesthood of the car
We drove into summer's arms
It broke the momentum of our fall
Our savings hid inside a racket ball
Pressed our clothes between courage and fear
The certainty of our taken for granted years
Tape recorder notebook pens
That's as heroic as we get
The wind through the leaves
Cuts my skin underneath
My fingers slip as I take another drink
The pain floats between like a blood soaked shirt in the sink
Trapped in your veins this is the simple heart attack of love
For which you risk all your tomorrows
You are the sparrow
You are the nest
You are the arrow that is buried in my chest
