Wounded mouth, same as heart / you bring nothing of value / wounded heart, push push out / all that, all that can help you / anemic, scenic red boat floating / careening, beating loved ones hoping / you're not gone / blue black sludge, just enough / to keep worn engine spinning / all parts jut, in and out / one act short but convincing / anemic, scenic red boat floating / careening, beating loved ones hoping / you're not gone / Oh I saw the light house / the shock sent to scare life out / Oh I saw the light house / the shock sent to scare life out / [if it were] just you me and the steal birds... / If I stay here I will feel worse / Just you and me and the steal birds... / the bay here is the real the curse

My stars, you got nerve / Singing all that country stuff / You got the boots, and buckle shine / The city cowgirls swoon and blush / But in here in this make believe saloon / They’re slinging phones and chewing gum / Talking social theory as you croon / About the plight of much too much / Later on, some feller asks / Hey there, ma’am, where’d you come from / I stop and straighten up / And say it’s far from me now / He winks at me and takes a sip of wine / And I think oh god, we’re just the same / Two nomads on a cold and starry night / The “to and from” don’t separate / On the cab ride home / I hear the breath of desperate souls / They pant and panic so / A city choir praying for home / A mess of fashion savvy pioneers / Out of touch, and out of place / Insecure and clever engineers / With our origins swiftly erased / My stars, you got nerve / Singing all that country stuff / You got the boots, and buckle shine / The city cowgirls swoon and blush / But in here in this make believe saloon / They’re slinging phones and chewing gum / Talking social theory as you croon / About the plight of much too much / Go, Go, Go... home, home, home, home
