It's sometimes good,
to know what's the beef,
even tho there's been bad blood,
what you gain,
information from sea,
be spared sharp unknown pain,
and touching wood for luck,
on the bridge bringing tea,
tides taken at their flood,
the Second Mate,
says you don't get passed three,
certain coronary pains,
you call the old man's bluff,
make him have a bevvy,
he's already suffered enough,
tell him about your love,
that would always be,
the time between us enough,
before any reprieve.

Call me a broken fool,
let me keep my gains,
you don't care do you,
if i dance with strangers,
wave before a rushing train,
your lies are more faithful,
who can stand those mules,
dreaming of hope again,
as tho they had the tools,
give me money let me rage,
in your eyes there's no pain,
ached for years displayed,
when they paid winter fuel,
turn your head made of clay,
now you don't know what to do,
all the world sees through,
your pious gaze,
no one has a clue,
when i sing your name.

Look who's going home,
waddling moonlike to the train,
sitting by the window alone,
what is it about you,
living on the make,
an everyday thing you do,
you don't wish to groan,
tell tales in blue rain,
answer why you've gone,
your tongue is made of glue,
owls scan the silver terrain,
happy people know the truth,
you shiver and hold your bones,
make a shroud a flame,
rub your useless dome,
love's a shadowed silo,
you know its full of grain,
you breathe in through your nose,
winter's come again.

I was burnt so low,
its been three weeks,
did you have places to go,
was it so damn easy
watching me seek,
if you were keeping it real,
like you turned to stone,
it all reeks,
you could have let me know,
why say there's no need,
nothing to make you speak,
just a feeling about me,
was it the child,
frozen against your bones,
could it have been so,
you didn't raise your tone,
tell me get up off my knees,
when the cock crows,
everything's revealed.

A penny for your thoughts,
like drops of falling rain,
she don't love you no more,
some weather the test,
with eyes full of bane,
you can't take the jest,
etched across the shore,
a wrist enhanced flame,
her face and shocked jaw,
eyes of locked rest,
looking for hope's train,
i did it for the best,
a shiver at my core,
what's come around again,
banging at this door,
days of plagued torts,
nights stupid with pain,
she won't love no more,
death's stupid gain.

You wouldn't lie would you,
if somewhere down the line,
a vision explodes brand new,
that traps you on a train,
acts like a swine,
beneath fallen archways,
melts you lemon blue,
spins chances like a dime,
what you want is truth,
forget losers it says,
uses bottles to drink wine,
tells you not to hesitate,
asks for hotel venues,
says love isn't a crime,
tells your Ma we're through,
why placate dull virtue,
every life isn't fine,
but come back to me soon,
when you turn the tide.

The arc of her frown,
splices lovely days,
slugs Vodka when she's down,
Macy's, the Five and Dime,
New York alley ways,
she'll rob any moonshine,
won't hang around,
in a sun that frays,
her search for holy ground,
the black lonely night,
where all debt get paid,
she knows what's right,
they'll make no sound,
if she delays,
to keep open her mouth, ,
she's done with this Town,
stars shift in her gaze,
walks river bound,
eyes like trays.
