Carried away on a juniper plane
The mother’s going to drive this biscuit insane
Mary’s missing, gone to some Neverwhere trail
And I’m waiting for guitar boy to show up
The monsters think they are pretty
It doesn’t matter to me
Let the monsters think they are pretty
Who am I to disagree
I just sit here on this wall and get drunk,
watch traffic go bye
There are these people they’re going places
their interests foreign to me
Some of them try to wave
but they’re just going too fast
I find my way inside
To watch your band play
I think the drama is part of the act
I just don’t understand
You want me to get in on it
But I’m sorry to say
I can’t roll up into that
My roll has been cut away
So I wander around
I don’t remember now
Everyone is interesting
But I can’t see them very well

Day Breaks

I can't believe it
I hate to watch it
what is life doing to you
what's it doin'
and when your day breaks
and lies broken on the ground
how you s'posed to get up
and drag yourself around
how do you do it
I am hurting for you
I am hurting for you
you're not alone
you're not alone
I am with you

One More Day

When the weight of the meta
leaves an indent in my head and
in the absence of a morning after,
will I fade into bliss?
And, what dreams my come,
turn out to be metaphors,
will it matter if I never figure out
what they're supposed to mean?
Press your lips to my eyes.
Leave me kisses there, instead of pennies.
and if your breath fogs my lashes,
don't imagine that I'm trying to weep.
If I should find you laughing.
Or discover that you're caught by tears.
I'll imagine we're together.

This I know

This I know
When I go
the days will be eclipsed
like the breeze is
on your lips
And life will carry on in rhyme
and moments of song
and good cheer
all of it will unfold for you
it will unfold in your hands
Clear your mind
you will find
every heavenly wish
every sweet and delicious thing
and life will carry you on in time
the present of the present is here.
All of it will unfold for you
it will unfold in your hands.

To study music is to study emotions, to practice how to capture them for study later, and how to present them to others for translation.
