Why hang around the mall, sit down in the rain, hover at infirmary's door, you are never home, always the same, stuff makes you roam, what am I saying this for, there’s nothing to gain, while you dance with whores, can't you atone, smooth away my pain, I'm not on loan, you know the score, my face a savage shade, I’m praying I don’t roar, I never want to moan, say this time it’s too late, spit on the floor, cry out your name, you’re not needed anymore, face myself again love's too raw

Cathy Two

Happy songs in my car, funds still in the bank, the trail leaves no mark, blown in on the bay, a ticking of the crank, does it have to be this way, I peer within your bars, even sunshine's dank, scatter ashes in the dark, what is there to say, my mind fills up blank, clings to a brighter day, Oh, you are a dog, no one else to thank, rolled me like a log, brought me to this state, let me be frank, there’s plenty left anyway, you’ll never know how far, what goes down the track, can see what's going on, gas still in my tank.

Sometimes I ask why, can we ever atone, our eyes on fire, it could be shame, that lights our home, each night and every day, not given foresight, the wind blows cold, you make another line, kids that bear your name, you let roam, are you insane, when you hear me cry, don’t leave a hanging phone, it's not enough to sigh, buy some shiny nails, help me with the loans, this house is not a jail, no matter how we fight, or bruise our callow bones, let’s do this right, don’t act gone.

Please don't ask why, one lonely swimming pool, roils between me and sky, tell me it’s nothing, those lives in a sewer, you’d never offer, songs for our wedding night, did I behave uncouth, stuff you'd get right, want me to suffer, you had bad dreams too, act like a winner, bring sweetness to the light, save it for the few, buttered dreams candlelight, to act like your buffer, along with this cruise, you embrace everything, you want me to fly, for fear of losing, I can’t dance on wire, I’ve paid my dues.

We share jokes and put, hopes on those who reappear, who rise in the mist, no one owns a crown, to be ushered in here, to put others down, those of us fussed, we'll always hold dear, what's never been crossed, in our Ocean town, everything is clear, you know who is sound, someone to trust, she walks without fear, with a hint of musk, everywhere she goes, banishes tears, never on her own, torches falling years, each night a must, rides with the deer, dances before the dust

I’ll ship out to France, do you expect me to say, you can have another chance, I won't go acute, my life is claimed, but you're no fool, fact is your clan, have once again nailed, any love chance, say what you want to, all your lies are details, it won’t be smooth, don’t look askance, when I start to rail, passions always pass, shame doesn’t bother you, nothing more to say, you don’t need a tune, to slide down the scale, let go of my hand, don’t whisper my name, hold me like that, rob all my getaways.

Since you've passed away, nothing left to do, but each night pray, laugh in hurried tones, my face like a whirlpool, hate to be alone, submerged in every way, my blues still surround you, scream no other way, you never did moan, even if you wanted to, gardens need to grow, walls are turning grey, they say I’ll always lose, even on the make, acting like a drone, not saying what isn’t true, I carry bags of stones, my eyes shine like jays, they wonder what I’ve done, lying by the drains, will find out soon enough.
