IN THE FLOWERS

(i'm a dancer)
a dancer
who got high in a field
found a moment
took a breath on his way home
he saw trees that rotted north
he felt envy for the little kinds of heavens
he hoped his girl would have flowers in her hair

and the dancer
who got hired 'cause his feet
had good rhythm
found himself away for weeks
that pass slower than a sloth
on the grill he cooked his heart in orange embers
he hoped his girl still had flowers in her hair

he said sometimes i guess i have to miss my wife

but am i a little dancer
who is missing you while you're gone
and am i the funny dancer
who is singing this funny song
does the dancer look at me and
does he recognize all his wrongs
do i write about myself, cause
i won't be this way very long

to hold you in time
to hold you in time
to hold you in time
to hold you in time

and the dancer
who came home from his field
felt kinda awkward
he felt happy, he couldn't wait
he burst open that good lock
he felt ecstasy and little pins of heat
he saw his girl still had flowers in her hair

MY GIRLS

there isn't much that i feel i need
a solid soul and the blood i bleed
but with a little girl, and by my spouse,
i only want a proper house

i don't care for fancy things
or to take part in the freshest wave,
but to provide for mine who ask
i will, with heart, on my father's grave

on my father's grave
(on your father's grave)

i don't mean to seem like i
care about material things,
like a social status,
i just want
four walls and adobe slabs
for my girls


#3
ALSO FRIGHTENED

if i go blind i'll be scared, but i
know i'll get by with my friends
there with the dark and my lamp, i'd
go someplace i've never had

and i have to know my way 'round there again
and i have to show my way 'round there again
it would be so difficult to see
i know you would give me your hand

not now

no one should call you the dreamer
no one should call you the dreamer
no one should call you the dreamer
no one should call you the dreamer

not now

and if i go deaf i'll be scared, but who
knows, maybe sound travels there
deep through the cracks in my scalp, oh they
go someplace i've never dared

would people be screaming around me again?
would people be laughing around me again?
it would be so difficult to see
i know you would give me your hand

not now

no one should call you the dreamer
no one should call you the dreamer
no one should call you the dreamer
no one should call you the dreamer

can i ask a question?
can i ask a question?
can i ask a question?
can i ask a question?

are you also frightened?
are you also frightened?
are you also frightened?
are you also frightened?

are you also frightened?
are you also frightened?
are you also frightened?
are you also frightened?

are you also frightened?
are you also frightened?
are you also frightened?
are you also frightened?

not now

no one should call you the dreamer
no one should call you the dreamer
no one should call you the dreamer
now one should call you the dreamer

not now

SUMMERTIME CLOTHES

return to the day when i liked city meals
corroded cardboard made me feel
like a four-in-the-morning walk was just my time
pee in an alley, i feel alright
now i'm hugging the buildings to find me a place
see the chihuahua weave through space
and the crowds of the people all help you to doors
all of my friends say i should go home

but i want to walk around with you
i want to walk around with you
i want to walk around with you
i want to walk around with you

tired of waking to graze in the ground
tripping on traffic 'cause that's this town
oh, swim in the stickiest summer i know
locked in a room where the ac blows
but what would i do if you wasn't around
i feel like a ball with no goal in town
i'm sitting at home and i'm pulling my hair
i might just call you, i hope you're there

'cause i want to walk around with you
i want to walk around with you
i want to walk around with you
i want to walk around with you

want to go into the rhythm again...
waitin' for a bearhug

tired of waking to graze in the ground
tripping on traffic 'cause that's this town
oh, swim in the stickiest summer i know
locked in a room where the ac blows
but what would i do if you wasn't around
i feel like a ball with no goal in town
i'm sitting at home and i'm pulling my hair
i might just call you, i hope you're there

'cause i want to walk around with you
i want to walk around with you
i want to walk around with you
i want to walk around with you

just you…

DAILY ROUTINE

just a sec more in my bed
hope my machine's working right
when it's just precisely tuned
that shit's gonna be so nice

make sure my kid's got a jacket
keys and coat and shoes and hat
strap a stroller to my back
bouncing along every crack

what can i do to make it fast?
sing a song to pass the playground
what can i do as traffic pass?
guard my girl from muffler's black gas
what can i do to make it fast?
pop a jump but not too hard
take a little left up at the rest stop
and look at the traffic signal

just a sec more in my bed
hope my machine's working right
when it's just precisely tuned
that shit's gonna be so nice

make sure my kid's got a jacket
keys and coat and shoes and hat
strap a stroller to my back
bouncing along every crack

what can i do to make it fast?
sing a song to pass the playground
what can i do as traffic pass?
guard my girl from muffler's black gas
what can i do to make it fast?
pop a jump but not too hard
take a little left up at the rest stop
and look at the traffic signal

just a sec more in my bed…

GUYS EYES

i really want to do just what my body wants to
i really want to do just what my body needs to
i really want to show to my girl that i want her
i really want to show to my girl that i need her

i really want to do just what my body wants to
i really want to do just what my body needs to
i really want to show to my girl that i want her
i really want to show to my girl that i need her

need her
i need her

i want to do just what my body needs to
i want to do just what my body needs to
i want to show to my girl that i need her
i want to show to my girl that i need her

so i use my mind
and i use my hand
and watch what i want to
(avey: i really don't know what to do if my body should want to)

do what i want to

TASTE

(taste)

there's a secret place i have that's deep inside of me
an elusive voice that tells me what i like, now
you might think i'm gonna judge you in your fancy place
i don't really give the credit to what taste does

'cause i don't care if you don't like that (panda: i don't get them)
you'll get your feelings hurt (not their hearts)
but i'm okay with that (their taste)
and if i like you (there's no)
it's for your simple ways (need to)
and we will always be at a tasty place (protect my comforts)
and you could cook a rose, but i don't eat those (serious threats)

(taste)

and i didn't pretend to like the clothes you chose for me
something in my heart, it tells me it's a weakness
i like shiny things and flower prints you wouldn't dare
take a woman's blouse and send it for your son to wear

but when we share our point of view (panda: i don't get them)
you get a glimpse of me (not their hearts)
i get a glimpse of you (their taste)
and i don't really care (there's no)
if i don't change your ways (need to)
cause' we will always be at the tasty place (protect my comforts)
and you can cook a rose, but i don't eat those (serious threats)

(taste)

am i really all the things that are outside of me...

NO MORE RUNNIN

no more runnin
says my mind
all this movement has just proved
your kisses are too fine

all the harmony
that i'd seen
friends i once had turn their thoughts
away from me

no more runnin
i've got to breathe
on back porches with the torch of a
firefly-lit tree

it's what i hope for, whoa
that's what i hope for, whoa
no more runnin
no more runnin

'cause you are candy
in my teeth
please don't lose your faith in me

'cause you are candy
in my teeth
please don't lose your faith in me

no more runnin
says my mind
all this movement has just proved
your kisses hard to find

it's what i hope for, whoa
that's what i hope for, whoa
no more runnin
no more runnin
no more runnin
no more runnin

BROTHER SPORT

open up your
open up your
open up your throat
and let all of that time
all of that time
all of that time
all of that time go

i know it sucks that daddy's done
but try to think of what you want
you've got to open up your
open up your
open up your throat

matt!

support your brother
(avey: sport brother)

you've got his way and what he said
to help you shape the way you play
you've got to get rid of the more
conservative habits of your mind
(you've got to have a real good time)

matt!

you're halfway to fully grown
you've got a real good shot
you've got too much inside
let it come
let it come back out

matt!
