Fur Coat

Fur coat clad, classist state of mind
Worry about your dad in your spare time
Get going early when the sun comes up
Work in the garden and walk your dog
/Oh no/
Send her
Wake up to sounds of the alarm
Skip breakfast, won't do any harm
You turn the dial in your four-wheel drive,
You're always thinking that you're out of time
/You're not/
Send her
The sun is shining, but it's
Hot as hell in here, please help me out
You're always crabbing, 'cause you
Know I've got something to cry about
Get in line behind me,
Empty all the vents, we'll dump them out
And then we'll figure out what's
Hiding underneath the covers
Drive off, ignoring all the lines
News comes from carefully placed yard signs
And all the moms are wearing purple shorts
And birds are dying underneath the porch
/You know/
Send her

Listening/Outside
04:59

Nighttime, breathing
All the bugs are screaming
Listening, outside
Take a deep breath, close your eyes
Bedtime, kissing
All the sheets are missing
Listening, outside
Take a deep breath, close your eyes
Proud of my cyclical thinking like--
Listen to feet on the sidewalk like--
Humming the words on the calendar—
Nighttime, light ends
All the bugs they are my friends
Listening, outside
Made this walk so many times
Made this walk so many times
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
You went off into the day
You took your car around the back
Because I asked you to stay
You let me sit on your bed
You told me how to get the silly pictures
Out of my head
You understand where I’ve been
I know just where you’ve gone
But I don’t understand where it is
I’ll never know it for sure
There are so many of you
But I’ve seen you before

Get Upset

I wanna be
In your way, in your way, in your—
I wanna have
You to blame, you to blame, you to—
I wanna know
What you did, what you did, what you—
I wanna get
Get upset, get upset, get upset
When you told me
What you meant by all that
I kept thinking
What you could’ve meant by
I wanna stand
In you light, in your light, in your—
I wanna waste
All your time, all your time, all your—
I wanna get
What I get, what I get, what I—
I wanna get
Get upset, get upset, get up—

Near Me, I
01:49
|
|||
I am so alive
When you’re near me, I
Crossing over water
I’m scared of heights
If I made you drive
Then you wouldn’t mind
Making use of time
Like we’re gonna die

Makes Sense

Take a walk with
Mailman’s daughter
Fruits and veggies
Make for quite a time
Lifetime Sentence
Never meant it
Accidental
Guess we’re doing fine
//Object permanence//
//Makes sense//
Sleepy sweetie
You sweat for me
I swear for you
I sweat for your time
When I’m dreaming
You’re my sweet, and—
Can’t believe it,
Guess we’re doing fine
[Take a walk with mailman’s daughter]
[After, underneath, and in an elevator]

In Between
03:50
|

Learning to eat dirt
And understand
Having the proverbial
Good time
Hanging on to me
A Bummer to be
Flossing in between
Your teeth

RE: Squash

I read the words on the screen
Tried to figure out what they mean
Came up empty every time
Lost after the subject line
I tried to read it again
Went right on over my head
Kept not having any luck
That subject line’s got me stuck

Never Intended
03:58

Well I sold my soul
To some company store
And I left out the back
With the cash
I undid my hair
Left it hanging there
Then I used my sense
To get back
And i don't even know who I sold it to
And I don't even know if I care
You know I never intended to follow you
But I'll follow you anywhere
Stopped my fussing fit
If only for a bit
Then you did the trick
Calmed me down
And your voice rang clear
In my inner ear
The way you spoke so soft
Through the phone
And I don't even know about the dial tone
And I don't even know if I care
You know I never intended to lean on you
But I lean on you everywhere
