Pulling up on Ohio, high on the sun
thought I’d be a teacher
instead of leeching to the pavement.
Going over the lies from the stanzas dry,
cigarettes have never dreamed
of seeing this side of me.
Though I’m a waste of time,
light me up and I’ll go flying on
I could use a glass eye and a loaded gun,
the side effects of gazing
in empty bedrooms.
Heart sprained and grey, hiding from the lungs
doctors have never dreamed
of seeing this side of me.
I’m a waste of time,
light me up and I’ll go flying on
I’m so goddamn scared of time,
let’s settle on a place to die
and rip the cord on this fleeting glimpse of
a bleeding paradise.

Why won’t you listen to me?
I’m trying to get over you,
trying to forget all the kinds of blue
swimming around in my head.
Once in a while, the birds come undone
and they burst into our living room
yellow feathers swoop
over the blankets and gloom.
We had a lifetime to go,
but April said no.
Sad old policeman
dying alone with his parachute
spread out all over his dreams of youth
the wind blew his wisdom that day.
We had a lifetime to go,
but April said no.
