I saw the door and I looked through the entrance Stare down night sky, dot pattern seeming endless Broken friendship, dandy dog on leash Door latch caught spot, shoe stomp on street
Tape deck plays and the reels will spin Suburb sound close down as boom-bap begin My red face hide in the shade of the trees As buggered blue moonlight pass through the leaves Carry out my concerning deeds in the deprevation of the darkness The com-com-comfort of cavedweller locked inside an apartment I spark this with the marked mistakes of minors learning How to build a better book of matches by watching the fire burning I can count all my dreams on a pair of pinnoccio fingers And trace the trail back home from all the tumbling splinter A silly beginner, basic aprentice aggression In the absence of a master, trying to make up my own lesson
Who knew I would wait such a long time
From the dreams to leaves to the cracks in the pavement To the roaches and rat and the amoured cars pacing To the spies and the thieves and the cross-eyed complainers To the...ain't that long when you count out the paces From the breach to the tracks to the aliens with statments To the grief and the crap that they all want to wade in To the forth and back, the forth and back, there is no turning back again
Secrets explode wether you mean it or not I locked my dreams with the right keys but I worked the wrong lock The strong box screws split quick before I could retighten I learned lightening strikes and leaves before language leaks "it lightens" The waking of the dead to live and work with the freaks I was a vampire roaming streets when I would swear I'is a sleep The beeping of the buzzer burn my brain the next day I tried to brush my teeth but never could remove the blood stains A double life of moonlighting grows tiring from trying If you got to work a day job and keep the villagers from rioting The list of lies, lengthened longer, left life laymen honest Invited the world into my home to show the bones stacked in my closet A dumb little skeleton walking miles to chase a silly dream Stubborn skull, split shoes, punctuated by abrasive feet All the while stalking, walking, akward through the night In the stomach of the suburbs with a dog by my side
