Whatever you are doing now
Collecting light in the cones of your eyes
Or keepin em shut
that’s your oh-own business
I hope you take your sweet time
Whatever’s coming down the road
Can’t say I don’t have skin in the game
I’m all ear-to-the-ground
in my own damn body
Hope we can find you a regular name

Took time to go deeper
In the shade of the woods
Is a hill with a hole you want to go in want to go in
To go in...
Do you dare…
To go in?

where in the sand did i bury
that treasure of deep pleasure
bright wholesome pleasure
i remember i set it down
right next to a wedding gown
or was it by the duck pond wayside
where my love died?
where in the sand did i bury
that treasure of deep pleasure
dark sinful pleasure
where in the sand did i bury
that treasure of deep pleasure
full body pleasure
In the sand, I buried my delight,
Thinking it would be safe and sound out of sight.
But as days turned into years,
My pleasure was lost, drowned in tears.
My searched and dug, but all in vain,
My joy was gone, forever slain.
Until I realized, deep within,
True pleasure comes from the heart, not from a sill ol' whim.

He's down there
Eight hundred feet with all of his care
Each day when he leaves, helmet in hand
He says "Baby I love you, baby you're mine
I'll see you tonight”
He's down there
Eight hundred feet and a dynamite scare
Just a few hours, they're sending their best
My baby is brave, my baby is fine
I'll see him tonight
He's down there
Eight hundred feet and plenty of air
Three days is nothing, seen worse before
My baby is strong, my baby's got time
I'll see him alright
He's down there
Eight hundred feet, and faith to spare
Ten long days but they're oh so close
My baby don't break, my baby don't bend
I'll see him again
He's down there
Eight hundred feet, a hope and a prayer
I'm losing count but I haven't a doubt
My baby don't bargain, my baby don't blame
I'll see him the same
He's down there
Eight hundred feet but I never despair
Fifty-five years, he's digging away
Baby I love you, baby you're mine
I'll see you tonight

I look just as I am
I mostly always have
I grew this way
Laughin with friends last friday
Okay okay
Then their eyes look away
As my teeth fall from my mouth
You’ve missed me
If this is me
This isn’t me
I’m underneath
Down
Something I’m bringing
Is sharp
It sets me apart
I can’t deny my fate
But last year, in meditation
I saw a woman
As me
As my hair falls from my head
You’ve missed me
If this is me
This isn’t me
I’m underneath
Down

I was born with a birthmark on my hip
Like a growing child that made me hobble away from you
And what you wanted
I don’t know what kind of love that is
Tree roots are lifting this parking lot
Where we are sitting and talk about what’s wrong
And even after you disappeared on that airplane
I knew I would always be a soft landing place
That’s body, not spirit
My house, I fill it with fragile objects for you to step on
Oh no, nobody’s fault
We both bend to the broken
And below us in the restaurant that I live on top of
People receive their blessings

I fall apart
In the shadow of a bomber plane
The sirens howl
The sound of death, the summer blade
Find me in the underground
Let us in the underground
Can we wait until they send the bombs our way
I can’t sleep
Hiding out with the neighborhood
Rubble sheets
Rest assured there is hell to pay
As we sip cold chamomile
Underneath our domicile
Taking cover while we tap our toes
It goes “dum da dum da dum da dum”

If I called ya a year from yesterday would you
Remember how you breathed my name
Say my name baby….
If I let you know
That I’m longing for you so
Oh would you know you know you know
You know I want ya
I want you where no one else can see us touching
I want to have you or I don't want nothin
I want to open up my eyes and see you
Standing right outside
Oh baby come innnnnnnnn
Oh babe you got me feeling some kind of way
Oh I could be in your tomorrow
Will you be in my tomorrow
All of my other loves are for yesterday
Oh I could be in your tomorrow
Will you be in my tomorrow
I’m not allowed to touch
Something as lovely as ya body
When you say you fucking want me now
I’m in heaven
Isn’t it obvious
I don’t know what the hell I’m doing
Close my eyes you see right through them
I’ll give you everything worth losssssiiiiiiin
I want you where no one else can see us touching
I want to have you or I don't want nothin
I want to open up my eyes and see you
Standing right outside
Oh baby come innnnnnnnn
Oh babe you got me feeling some kind of way
Oh I could be in your tomorrow
Will you be in my tomorrow
And after all the love I’m giving today
Oh I could be in your tomorrow
Will you be in my tomorrow
I feel it
Yesterday
I feel it
Slip away away
I feel it (feel it)
Whatcha say (whatcha say oh baby)
Feel it (feel it)
Will you stay, will you stay?
I feel it (feel it)
Yesterday (yesterday)
I feel it (feel it)
Oh will you come innnnnnnnn
Oh babe you got me feeling some kind of way
Oh I could be in your tomorrow
Will you be in my tomorrow
All of my other loves are for yesterday
Oh I could be in your tomorrow
Will you be in my tomorrow
Oh babe you got me feeling some kind of way
Oh I could be in your tomorrow
Will you be in my tomorrow
And after all the love I’m giving today
Oh I could be in your tomorrow
Will you be in my tomorrow

I’m not ready
Have I thought of every word to say
How do I remember all my memories
How can I get used to you missing
I’m not ready
When the flowers and the cards stop arriving
How many dreams with you where I wake up weeping
When is it time to end the candle lighting
Not yet
I’m not ready
We never knew how fast it would get to you
I’m shocked it didn’t take more of your facial cues
You were still you, I could almost always see you
I’m not ready
When I’m picking Mom up to meet my son
Was just telling you he’d be Ringo or La Monte
Now Ringo’s here where’ve you gone
Not yet

Just give up, you can’t do this anymore
And it’s been a long time
For sure
Since you could
Hanging out with Father Time,
Watching as the days rewind
The burden of what you’ve done
Growing heavier than the sun above you

Yeah I think it's working out.
We're expanding and paying on a big house.
My god gave me rights.
Yeah I've got the right.
Yeah the grapes grow just near town from a hazard but that'll work itself out.
The children must play.
And we can't complain.
But in the sweetest lies there's a bitter truth everybody's gonna try try to keep from you with a smile and a handshake and the most agreeable tone they'll keep hidden underneath the intent to use every hope you've got and you're gonna wanna prove you're the thing you're not then you're gonna get a piece just not the way you thought now you're locked down tight cause you just got buried alive.
Yeah our toxic lakes are pure.
We could swim but we gotta pave um up first.
This land's mine and yours.
That's the way this thing works.
In every little lie there's a bigger truth everybody's gonna tell and you'll tell it too with a smile and a handshake and the most agreeable tone you'll keep hidden underneath the intent to burn every prayer you've got.
Every man takes turns but no one's getting off.
Yeah you're gonna get your piece or maybe it's a plot with your name engraved cause you just got buried alive.

My ocean is wider than yours
my muscles, skin and my bones
employed by national choice
Canberracation makes a similar noise
to grumbles, geese, and good boys
while underneath this red soil
I think I’m going down
Balmoral ocean sounds
A bubbling, moving motion, submerging, barely touching, my head is bobbing underneath these clouds
Can I
Lay down
Lay out
Come beside me I found my tree
Small guy
Breaking
My sun tan
I’m old now but the same sea
|

Underneath the surface
Nothing’s ever perfect
My love
Many imperfections
Upon closer inspection
My love
Magnify anything
And you’ll find that everything
Has fault lines
Scarcity and rarity
I share with mighty clarity
My love
Faceted reflection
And rosy pink complexion
My love
You can cut anything
Till only a fragment remains
But its harder to be precise
Our love
Is a diamond
In the r-iamond
In the rough

Sunday morning
And the rain is falling down
I've got a seat at the counter
and a cup of morning brown
I leave a ten on the table
Tell Dot to keep the change
I go to turn to the doorway
when I hear her call my name
She said you've been coming here for years
I've seen your crying and your tears
But after a while
I realized I'd never seen you smile
Baby if you dig a little deeper
who knows what you might find
Baby if you dig a little deeper
who knows what you might find
I know it ain’t easy to carry
the whole world on your head
when you can't even handle
Just getting out of bed
But you made it this far
without falling apart
So listen to me, boy
and take this to heart
you just gotta dig a little deeper
who knows what you might find
Maybe if you dig a little deeper
who knows what you might find
I spent enough time
Losing my mind

I don’t know what’s beneath my baby, but I know it’s beautiful
I know what’s underneath a dress
I know that sometimes I am wrong
I know I wander when a song comes on
I know you want to cut your hair
I don’t know what’s beneath my baby, but I know it’s beautiful
I don’t know what’s beneath my baby, but I know it’s more than me
I smell your hair, the morning lingers, all of this might not be for me
Yeah

When I was young my tooth got loose,
It freaked me out to tell the truth,
A bit of me had lost its use,
Specifically a baby tooth
But my old man said don’t you fret,
When it falls out you’re going to get,
Adequately compensated,
Just put it underneath your head,
Magically before you wake,
The faery folk will come and take,
Your little baby tooth away,
And in exchange they’re going to pay.
And so I learned my body,
Is nothing but a commodity
And when I need some money,
Rip off and sell a part of me,
Each and every part of you,
Has intrinsic value,
When times get tough, and your life is feeling hollow,
Take a bit of yourself and put it underneath your pillow,
So how I made my first money,
Was selling child ivory,
To a capitalist fairy
Who I would never ever see.
Don’t you worry really all,
you need’s a little capital,
God gave you a body and a soul,
So you’d always have something to Sell

I
Wouldn’t have told you that
Wouldn’t have come along
Now there’s a feeling that our fates are tied
And I
Wanted to wait it out
Wanted to meditate
You
In all sincerity
Eyes like a laser beam
Told me to take some time to figure ourselves out
You and the way you are
All in, not out of touch
|

Every day
I walk outside
In the sun
Saying “this time”
Things go my way
No distractions
Dismay
Clutterin’ my mind
But if I’m being honest
And I’m always being honest
Yeah if I’m being honest
Deep down truly honest
I think tomorrow’s my day
Every night
I stay up so late
My eyes call it quits
I’m blind
Eking out
One more ounce of pleasure
From this
Borrowed time
But if I’m being honest
And I’m always being honest
Yeah if I’m being honest
Yeah deep down truly honest
I think tomorrow’s my day
Tomorrow’s my day
I’m gonna sleep real tight
Wake up feelin’ just right
Make a coffee black and strong
Keep my head down all day long
Cause tomorrow…yeah tomorrow
Tomorrow’s my day
I was only waiting for you
I was only waiting for you
I was only waiting for you
Tomorrow
