I'm going. Northbound, son.
Take me to Poughkeepsie, take me to Poughkeepsie.
Let me ride. I'm on my train, you're on my mind.
I'm going. Northbound, son.
Take me for a ride, take me to Poughkeepsie
and form a poison hive.
You were never one, but you were certain fun.
I'm going. Northbound, son.
Take me to Poughkeepsie, take me to Poughkeepsie
and let me have my hide.
Escape with what I know if that was all I had.

Dying States
04:57
|

Sleeping through some dying states.
Dreaming of what once was greatness.
My delay in getting away
your hanging something over me like a ghost
just above on his dying day.
Something leads to everything.
Everything is what I mean
when I said "I need"
Not a part of you and a piece of me.

All the people that I know
*really* know
are hard to know.
Person leads a quiet life
in a home.
Could you know?
All these creatures are moving forward
to take something they smell on us.
One a poet and one a painter
Painting portraits of mortal danger.
And one lender and one a taker,
one who knew me and one a stranger.
And one a healer from television
who tells me that my eyes aren't working.
And one a former lover with packed hands
in solvent like a secret potion.
And one a runner and one a standstill.
One a father who knows my feelings.
And one a general and one specific
whose name I knew once but since forgotten.
And one a master and one above him
whose moving parts, disgusting puppet.
And I'm a builder of certain fortress
and certainty, I certain promise.

Missile

We were not singing, we were just talking.
We were not running, we were just walking.
My love, my love , my love
there is no just in us.
You take your picture,
I'll have the red one.
One of the colors I have forgiven.
My love, my love, my love
there us no just in us.
You organizer, me with a footprint.
You put our things in colorful boxes.
My love, my love, my love
wrapped in a bow was us.
Do you remember when we were younger?
I was a missile, you were my target.
Fixing my sights on a pin of a spot
from a world away.
Maybe some federal man
come through and take all my land.
But I am a family man
Don't need a house for a home.
So I will ride on the rails
looking for you in a song.
Trade in my wings for some wheels
to cart off all of my fears

My Girl's Tall
04:12
|

The first I noticed that you smile while you're sleeping
you hadn't had experience in this world yet.
It makes me wonder about the science of thinking,
it makes me wonder about the lives that you've led.
It makes me wonder if there's someone who knows you
and knew me as well but isn't telling you yet.
The first I noticed that you smile while you're sleeping,
do angels kiss your lips and tickle your head?
Well I don't know.
My girl's tall, she makes tall girls.
Once we went down for a walk in a town
with a high population of bird life.
You were so wide-eyed, your eyes say to me
"I'm learning that sand is the hardest to dig,
I keep digging my hole, it keeps caving in.
And the problems get big and the bigger they get,
so do fears and the thoughts that will come with them."
Like, "I live in a country I don't understand anymore
I'm afraid and I'm locking my door
and I'm beating my brains on a learning rock
and I can't pay my rent and I can't get a job."
And, "I'm looking for more, it keeps breaking my heart.
I'm pinning my hopes on a spinning thing.
What I want is house with a white picket fence,
what I need is a God, not a diamond ring."
Or, "Will I stay gold to my mom and my dad and my friends?
How I long to so."
But for now you are small and you're in my heart and you'll be there forever.
That's all I know.
