1. Pleasure

Get what I want

and still
it’s a mysterious thing
that I want
so when I get it
I make sense 2. I Wish I Didn’t Miss You
of a mysterious thing
cuz I’ve taken flight Try to find a way to talk about it
on such a serious wing I’m also in the mind to just let it go
how to reach out my mind if I can’t think straight
I and you are the same and with the goodness so gone I feel to isolate
either friction or dreaming
we know enough to admit… You called me baby, I called you one too
until you spoke to me with another voice
It’s my pleasure and your pleasure you sent in spiders to fight for you
It’s my pleasure and your pleasure I was so disappointed I didn’t know what to do

Oh… an echo calls up the line I wish i didn’t miss you

an indication of time
our togetherness Wasting so many hours away
that is how we evolved so many ways to waste a day
we became our needs in this same city I hope you’re not
ages up inside cuz the town has shrunk to the size of my thoughts
escaping similar pain
dreaming safe and secure It was so mystifying to see you so changed
generations in lines I felt some certainty that you must have died
old and then the youth because how could I live if you’re still alive?
come to meet or fade
a chromosomal raid I wish I didn’t miss you……
built by what we got built for
as much as what we avoid
and so the mystery lifts
we know enough to admit……

It’s my pleasure and your pleasure

is my pleasure like your pleasure
that’s what we’re here for!

Pleasure!
3. Get Not High Get Not Low 5. Any Party

I closed my eyes opened up my eyes I was guided by voices to the backyard where I
that made me close my eyes so then I opened hear
my eyes that someone is talking about someone we used
like living in a dream to know
I think that I know what’s gotta be done
As long as I stay closed like that I’ll take a minute alone and decide what to do
secretive to stay intact
well that is not fun You know I’d leave any party for you
that’s why I couldn’t trust anyone at all cuz no party’s so sweet as a party of two
sugar, I got no question of the right thing to do
I got high oh you know I’d leave any party for you
I got low
I got high You planned meeting me on your way home
and I tried reaching you on your new flip phone
I was bright as the sun you didn’t have the ringer on so I couldn’t warn
then saskatchewan you
then I laid low like a tide that a stranger is here looking for a reunion
then bay of fundy high
I was living in extremes You know I’d leave any party for you
and everything that that means no party’s so sweet as our party of two
I’m getting tired of these clowns and balloons
I got high honey you know I’d leave any party for you
I got low 4. Lost Dreams
I got high I won’t lead you astray
I got low I used to know you know, I’ve got your back any day...
by the day and by the night oh no I got your back every day!
Get not high full of questions and you know I would leave any party!
get not low answers and questions
I can’t tell or be told where to go
Lost Dreams……

I used to make it so it would all come to togetherness

even by day I had a dream, I am a dreamer
and I saw all about his goodness became so
bad-ass blacking out and it’s called the name of love

Lost Dreams……

Thought I was discovering

wanted to know everything
winter fall and summering

Every night you go to sleep, a chance to have another dream.

6. A Man Is Not His Song

A man is not his song

a song is a promise
if a man is just his song
then can the song be beyond us?

How we make it up
and it sends in deep elation
eventually it’ll let you down 7. The Wind
by believing in standing ovation
song won’t lift up if The wind that will bring me
made by revenge so oboe sweet out to you
I will will it is a wind that gets singing
to add up to more than you or me whipping at the tune

Cuz a man is not his song The same wind comes rushing
and I’m not a story that later lays low
but I wanna sing along and it pulls at my edges
if he’s singing it for me then continues to blow

That filament that flies by Just keep on the horizon

and it brings yellow light
of those yellow summers back It brings hail from old water
by coconut palm and snowy pine and a storm on its knees
I’ve heard years pass and flags from a revolution
through my ears to hear otherwise that brought us some peace
we all believe in old melodies
I carry tunes around like they carry me And the trees for their hundred years
lean north like calligraphy
A man is not his song and I’m shaped by my storming
though we all wanna sing along like they’re shaped by their storming
we’ve all heard those old melodies
like they’re singing right to me Keep at the horizon
you found you, I mean you
More than a melody’s needed deep on the horizon
keep on the horizon

As strong as that wind

that blew us round the island
is a wind that has lasted
longer than the past has
it’s a wind that will keep on
lasting beyond ever after
it’s a wind that will keep on lasting
longer than the past has
8. Century 9. Baby Be Simple

I fought my feelings In and out

and got in the way that’s the way in
could’ve been easier I saw an old sign
than a decade of days when my world was way down
//// projection quiet on the streets
//// young marriage so I climbed the stairs
lighting the stage to the rarified air
I wanted feelings I’ve been on fire
that got in my own way made from my thoughts
I thought up my life by
Then wrote that letter
that had nothing to say
staccato vision Out then back in
like a kingdom of days that’s the way to begin
///// all lonely but I had to climb down
//// or not lonely into today
century away and give up the pain
but still a vision I held myself up by
as if help’s on its way
Baby, be simple with me
Someone who will lead you to someone
who will lead you to someone who Out, thicker skin
will lead you to the one at the end of the century that’s no way to begin
come with your true arc
The air is clearer to fall all the way down
a decade away like an empire
singing to a mountain into a kingdom of guts
that was empty all along to become a rooftop
//// all lonely I built me from the bedrock
//// young marriage
made me right up
lighting the way
she wanted feelings ignited little tunes
that got in her own way while the wind was still
trying to find a way to tell you
Someone who will lead you to someone if or not the true arc
who will lead you to someone who is even there
will lead you to the one at the end of the century or on a pillow of air
I’ll rip me apart by the lore
Century. How long is that? cuz to become that rooftop
3,155,973,600 seconds I had to fall all the way down
876,000,000 hours
or 36,500 days Baby, be simple with me
almost as long as one of those endless
dark nights of the soul
those nights that never end
when you believe you’ll never see the sunrise again
when a single second feels like a century
 11. Young Up

When they cart me away

will I say that I died already
years ago?

I got so stuck in my ways

10. I’m Not Running Away that’s no way to behave
I got tired before I noticed I was done
I’m not running away
water is running like I stay I felt like I covered my tracks
constant growing up like no one had my back
just so you know
I’m not making this up all of this battling goes so slow
it got hard for me to believe in true love
constant growing up Young up
y’ young punk
…I’m not running away… the end is coming
and fear not
I wouldn’t be telling the truth y’ young pup
if I don’t admit that I depend on you that everything that falls is falling
constant growing up
Was I just making it up
The difference between night and day pushing my luck
we watch the moon rise and all that indicates I got tired before I noticed
I got a home in you that noon illuminates if I’d corrupted the core by asking for more
together / alone in you just so you know
I’m not running away all of this battling goes so slow
You got to carry me So I looked into your eyes and said…
(staying right here now!) then I looked into my own eyes and
carry me said to myself…
(staying right here now!)
care Young up
(staying right here now, that’s right right here now!) y’ young buck
care the end’s not coming
fear not
y’ young punk
that everything that falls is falling
even if you don’t have your
own back
and everything that needs
to fall has fallen
