I would dance, oh, if I could
I could move to the tune of you
But I'm a little distracted
Still counting on the bigger bets to settles
The horses are back up in their stables
we're barely now all coming down
the crowd's thinning out
They're kicking trash across the floor, through the door
And O', my doe, you were quite alright, tonight
I keep hearing things
things I can't repeat
Its your high heels Don't blame me
The tapping on the pavement
got me thinking you're leaving
and your pearls were refined
I just paid them no mind
next to you can you blame me
Your eyes pull like movies
While I'm still finding a seat
I stuck around, I held ground
then it gave on out
But you, you skipped town
When the winds pushed you out

bubblegum girl got a tongue for taffy taste
bubblegum poppin' on her lips as she masticates
she'll chew a pack a day
as she never ate the dinner on her plate
for the flavor she can't replace
braces break from the gum she never spat out
twisted teeth in a mangled amalgam mouth
an imperfect smile
that the school compiled for a yearbook photo
warned of future frowns
oh, Marienne...
college-bound, with a heart for delinquent dates
she'll think of them at night in the dark while she masturbates
she's sneaking outside in the middle of the night
and slipping underneath his sheets as he holds her tight
cigarette mother with a backseat of bastard sons
the father left town when she just turned 21
she'll smoke a pack a day with her kids inside
no love in the house in which they now reside
oh, Marienne...
grey old lady in a hospital bed
cancer in her lungs and a head filled with regret
her sons don't come see the mother they resent
for the apathetic, selfish life she always led
oh, Marienne...

Tear down the blinds
This ain’t no place for you to run and hide
Come Hold up your eyes
I need to hear you say that you’re all right
just say you’re all right
carve up your life
into simple shapes you can re-align
don’t hold them close to a brighter light
you might see that you see through the other side
and you see the other side
your body will shake like an
autumn breeze
and your head’s drilling holes in your heart
and your eye’s filling up like a river or stream
in your bed making friends with the dark
I’ve got cold streets in mind
Like the one’s you’d walk every Friday night
They won’t seem so alive
With one less face it by neon signs
And you’ll miss that old life

come on in and rest awhile
your back must be broken from that desert mile
a petrol tomb where the highway ends
last known refuge for the living dead
go on
he's riding towards the break of dawn
like some kind of jesus on an iron horse
and one day he'll be back for us
ever since scarecrow got a brain the every day has seemed mundane
and nobody told tin man that you could break a heart
and here on every avenue the bands march on to dead men's tunes
to battlefields at post-war dawn, when everyone is gone
they're gone
come on in and rest your legs
hide from the demons crowding up your head
i know you wander eternally
in search of safe haven or serenity
go on
you're fleeing towards the harvest moon
like some kind of devil's chasing after you
and one day he will catch up
lion was off acting brave when he got himself shot in the head
and dorothy can't stand her home now that everyone's moved on
and here in every city port the ships sail on to foreign shores
to graveyards kept on ocean floors waiting for their lords
to rise up
they come to hang you out
and suck the life right out
because wizard found himself some fools
so he'll play god to their lonely souls
while bones in every halfway home are waiting for their turn
