cross my heart and hope to die
and to stay dead when its my time
no wet-nosed Lazarus on a back step thresh
with drooping jowls and hungry eyes
will receive an offering to come inside
this is a quiet place
and yesterday's companions may have been replaced
so keep your tail between your legs if you feel you must
but wishes true may still yet rust
and so I turn away the beloved mutt I used to know
go on
get away from here
get lost
shoo fly
while I cross my heart and hope to die
and to stay that way....
you might see my sisters and my brothers
running to our mother in the night
you might see my sisters and my brothers
diving into cover from the light

it's the knowing that nobody's coming
that makes my bones rattle their sobering songs
it's the going and the never getting
that keeps me keeping on
but I would never play the piano again if my hands were tied
whether mend or rend the width between with and without is the wit's take-a-bow
as you pin me down, boy
and shake eternity

you don't think that he ever looks at you
but maybe when you turn your back he does
palms flat on the hood of the Econoline van
watching gallons tick
waiting for a break
watching someone driving by
that's a beautiful face
a lot of your questions start with 'if'
you like to ask: do I embarrass you?
are you ashamed to be seen with me?
maybe these are questions that shouldn't be asked
maybe you shouldn't ask a question that isn't supposed to have an answer
...but what if you did?
I'm sleeping
you look the way you used to look
I'd recognize you anywhere
I read you like a newspaper
I just pick the parts I'm interested in
and for that I'm sorry
his palms flat on the hood of the Econoline van
his palms flat on the hood of the Econoline van
you wonder if he's watching you
so sneak a glance and see
he's watching someone else drive by
this whole time he had nothing up his sleeves
boys will hurt you, even the good ones

Keep Yourself Safe

talk to me
I've got nowhere to go
I've made a mess making myths out of molehills
I'm left with nothing but my bones
sometimes we scream and tear and swallow it
sometimes we let our lovers leap
I've got a kingdom still in disrepair
and yet we watch each other sleep
if we could just turn from our corners
work out an order
you go first
and don't look back I'll fall apart again
just leave me deep inside the earth
there are worlds to dream
take my hand and know
(my palms are sweaty)
all that's in between
is what we can control
I've got a knack for stoking ire fires
and keeping pitchforks at my gut
I know you bore of all the martyr talk
and staying put inside my rut
I love you more than water, air, and wind, and fire
I love you more than anything I've ever known or seen
I love you more than the wonders of the deep
or anything that's ever come to me in dreams
it's a wondrous world
(wake up)
with the room to spare
(where have you been?)
even if we can't find a way to share it together
(follow me -- come on)
who said we have to be together?
even if we're never I say: "keep yourself safe"
