about

A short little rainy day song. Gloomy, but with hope.

lyrics

Excuse the rude interruption
but I’ve got to tell you
this thing’s sinking quickly
and it’s gonna kill you
Too late to solve it
with an intervention
but there are some ideas
we’ve yet to mention
sacred string of words
holy manuscripts
healing energy fields
electromagnets
We’ve got to get you cleaned up
and out of those dress clothes
I’ll explain to you now
how the sickness will unfold

It starts with insomnia
and a gradual pneumonia
and when you start to cough blood
they’ll quickly disown you
and you’ll have to be open
to an uncertain surface
to place your tired feet on,
while we perform the surgery

Let’s get you better friend..
Let’s get you better friend..

When you ligaments break
and your anger is toothless
with Antigone’s shame
knowing you didn’t choose this
some will kick out the ladders
but most are indifferent
and when your ashes are scattered
they’ll quickly forget you

The other night I looked up at Orion
and though he has no eyes
I could tell he’d been crying
up in darkness undying
I recalled the time when
you held up a lantern
to a face on some money
and with comic perfection
declared its bankruptcy

Friend, I wouldn’t worry
about which direction
Waters are all murky
and all connected
And I wouldn’t fret
who comes to your shores now
the windows are blurry
inside every lighthouse
But my God I said
more than I meant to say
I just get on a tangent
get carried away
I shouldn’t worry you
all about the future
so often I get lost
in all the minutiae

but let’s get you better first..
let’s get you breathing first..
let’s get you water for your thirst..
you’ll be up and at it again
And the wheels will start to spin
And we’ll worry about this then
