Meet you halfway Hold your elbows in Keep you busy Bruise your northern skin Pack a lunch and keep your distance Parking the bus is not my style Scout a pathway But it’s rarely clean Space is closing Clouds obscure the means Two people looking to the distance Same view but seeing different thing A lie from touch is unspoken Silence covers up the sound Manipulating our fingers Distracting our own team. A life of compromise is given Must abide and depend On better motives inside you And not a father’s voice Telling you where to end

Angel Lake 03:12
Long days are helped by the stain Of tears falling while still getting drenched in the rain Can't explain Smoking woodbines in a tunnel at night. Nursing cans of cider under ciggie light. Teenage sights Reminded Decided Left in Angel Lake till the light rail runs again Revive it Survive it Heading south turns south when there's nowhere to begin Do it all different if it did it again Run so far away from all those “friends”

Everybody In here tonight Knows what is going on Under the light No Avett Brothers on this stage Thank God, it's us alone Under the light For as far as I can see Everyone in here agrees There's no place they'd rather be Under the lights for me and you Under the lights is what we do All we're saying, to all of you here Is that it's time to dive Under the lights Hug your brothers, and sisters as one And shout “It's us alone” Under the light For as far as I can see Everyone in here agrees There's no place they'd rather be Under the lights for me and you Under the lights is what we do

She loved men Real men Didn't know why She'd never met any Still held on A vision in mind Suiters were left far behind Orderly wait In line Shuffle forward To give it the hard sell Made-up graft With cereal charm Flexing a sun-tanned forearm Just roll my eyes at this Procession of a docile clan I'm lost. I'm out of here. It's the death of the ladies' man. True love leaves No traces at all I left a woman waiting On the steps of the townhall Don't go home Iodines on your hands Death of the ladies' man Death of the ladies' man Death of the ladies' man

Vicki grew up with the weight of the world Holding her back from her dream Her city was too dry for her plans Went to a new town to swim When she got there, Ricky held out his hand Planning to never let go Built an act on his looks and her charm The threat of his death was the show The legend grew As the club packed them in. Twice a day, he was cut limb by limb Fake blades got a little too dull So Vicky upped the tension again Just one night Choose the knife I should use One will maim, the other will kill Just one night Rickis’ last on the earth Cause if you don’t kill him, I surely will

Been walking on a road where I didn’t belong Old man looking straight through me wishing I was quickly gone. Feelings mutual it’s true Manicured garden hides the turmoil in you. “Simply on my way, passing through” Just like you, passing through. “Who are you, and why have you strayed around here? This is no place to make new friends. Our paths are perfectly clear. Walk your way, not mine. I’ve shot more than looks for a lesser crime.” “Simply on my way, passing through” Just like you, passing through. Take it, make it, again Take it make it pretend Embrace a fear that really needs healing Breathe deeply, inhale a new feeling Nothing else to work for just look in his eyes Chart a course that has no map or guidance Open wide Enjoy The Silence “Simply on my way passing through” Just like you, passing through.

Father of John Misty Is Blanchett in disguise Share the same dive motel And matching bloodshot eyes. Down the hall is Muddy At peace with Gram and Keith Maid is doing clean up AC barely giving relief Mold-grown walls and threadbare twin. Smoke-stained duvet burnt thin Coffee pot is leaking Half-drawn blinds block the view Windows barred for safety Stops dusk from breaking through. Sweat-stained sheets and broken locks Time, and a place, the world forgot

Drop Off 03:40
Seal off, temper with what’s inside Buried the shame Barely feeling alive Never better, today we should know what to do A riddle eaten by a puzzle that he never saw through Drop, give me 20 before you can say Deluded and lost in a hermetic way A relic out of date even way back then No words to speak about it He died alone in the end. Took a week before they bust the front door down Spread on the floor Death and its deafening sound. Always thought that if he asked for help no-one would show Reflection of a person that he didn’t know. Drop, give me 20, before you can say Deluded and lost in a hermetic way A relic out of date even way back then No words to speak about it He died alone in the end

Took a journey Top shelf to last From India in ‘35 to a Moscow gasp Cheever lost in swimming pools  Flags at half-mast.  Another stranger Mavis Gallant Takes up space Between Horowitz and Diaz, finds its place  In the baggage room at Greyhound Ginsberg has a taste Another stranger Another stranger is here Waiting for a friend No fiction at all Till the end. Across the river And into the trees Hide under the table while the gunshots leave a stain upon the entrees that the hosts can’t believe.  Another stranger.
