YEAH, it only hurts a little! (x2)
you wrote a drunken riddle
then left me in the middle
it only hurts a little (x2)

Drive-In Dream Sequence

The meadow was covered with tiny white flowers from the trees,
so oddly crumpled like popcorn with tiny kernel seeds.
If you were to lay back in the silken strands of grass
and pop a few in your mouth,
perhaps you’ll be taken back
to the melted butter
and quiet crunch
as the stars dim above the field
and the projection begins to spin.
clover haze over the days (x2)

Red Fish Blue Fish

Fishermen clutch their wands
close to their shivering bodies
but their charms are weak
with no fish to be reaped
Red fish blue you know what I wish
I swim in circles all day long
& you think it’s cute and you think it’s wrong
-
Red fish blue you know what I wish
and escape with a quick swish
No coral reefs just the small belief
that someday I’ll get some privacy
You don’t help me swim, you just bait me out
a parting gift I’m not about
I can’t wait you out, I need the lift
-
I often live just beneath the surface of the waters
where the world is crooked,
my words are muffled—
The waves catch my fall in my late-night swoon
the people are used to my fingers all pruned.
Red fish blue you know what I wish

Confetti Cannon

You make me divide confetti,
throw my feelings to debris!
Celebrate the way I’m better than I’ve ever been
Celebrate the way I’m better than I’ve ever been
DON’T STEP ON THE CONFETTI
I’m gonna sweep it up to use it once again!
“We have to preserve the confetti,
we don’t know
when we will be happy again,
so we must…preserve,
we must sustain—“
You make me divide confetti,
throw my feelings to debris!
And if you stay, I’ll never feel that way again
and either way, I’ll always know I have a friend
DON’T STEP ON THE CONFETTI
I’m gonna sweep it up to use it once again!
You make me divide confetti
Throw my feelings to debris
And if you stay, I’ll never feel that way again
And either way, I’ll always know I have a friend
DON’T STEP ON THE CONFETTI
I’m gonna sweep it up to use it once again!

You’ve got cards and tricks on circus nights
juggling moons and satellites.
Acrobats climb above the charade to avoid the big ego parade.
No tricks up your sleeves til they feel the morning breeze
My body is an optical illusion
and it’s all confusion (confusion)
like the cards and tricks on circus nights,
it takes strength to shake so many moons and satellites
but if you try, you’ll get by.
but my body is an optical illusion
I hesitate to pardon your intrusion…
But if you try, you’ll get by.
I hate to break the ice or cool the tension
I’ll throw a pity party intervention
Is it all beyond your comprehension
And I guess I probably should mention
(My body is an optical illusion)
and it’s all convention (convention)
but if you try you’ll get by
and if you fly, tell them why!

caterpillar on your shirt sleeve
tell me what religion you believe
like any arthropod
it was a gift from God
(but it was someone else’s gift
from someone else’s God)
tiny shells like the beach when you were young.
After the rains last night, the clouds have since parted, the flowers are blooming, and it’s gonna be another beautiful sunny day.
