lyrics

All the vinyl siding, all the chlorophyll sticking
My red neck in the yellow light, the wasp-nesting roof-blight
The pressure washer moans dumb; my arms are too sickly

The day-saving sundown, the green stain to my shirt white
If you wanna do it right, write this down while it's still bright
The pepper-weed puller's been burning the night light

Drip soot water down the chimneyfluenza
The nightsmoke 'til daybreak, my moon-cratered couchsleep
Swallow cubicle soot to my co-work credenza
A sun-seeking dawn-drawn deliberate drag-heap

I'm in the next room
Keeping watch over nothing all night

All the sad songs, all the magazine clippings
Are fuel for the nightfire that burns in my chest
The pressure cooker hot throb, my tonguescrews a-slipping
I fumfer a free verse at the freeway's behest
My feculent fog-mind deciding what's best
In dreams I am a monster and awake I'm a mess

Drip soot water down the chimneyfluenza
The nightsmoke 'til daybreak, my moon-cratered couchsleep
Swallow cubicle soot to my co-work credenza
A sun-seeking dawn-drawn deliberate drag-heap

I'm in the next room
Keeping watch over nothing all night
