Well my acquaintance
They’re all jugglers and clowns, and so am I
Do you think? What you say?
And Eva she still loves me
Even though I don’t like the symphonies
Fabulous and miserable I sing
Egon, you’ve gotta love someone
Oh, for what it’s worth, I do I do I do
Find you fascinating
Would you come staggering down the street?
Oh, well naturally not, we live inside ourselves
It tumbles down in old Vienna town
I like hearing you talking
Doors opening and closing
Of people you meet and all that I miss
See, oh oh see, in the snowy streets
A figure on parade
In the windows and say
Just look at me now
Egon, you’ve gotta love someone
Oh, for what it’s worth, I do I do I do
Find you fascinating
Would you come staggering down the street?
Oh, well naturally not, we live inside ourselves
Woah oh, everything is weird
And I love myself
What a wedding it would make
Woah oh oh no, woah oh oh
Egon, you’ve gotta love someone
I think he knew
He had a girlfriend you know
And he was married, oh no

What I Miss the Most

So we’d play tough and ride through the fall
Bumper sticker chaperones
Second thought and second hand
Couldn’t cut it, became bland
Closed my eyes so you couldn’t tell
Straightened up then rang the bell
I hate myself tonight
Cough syrup is the only fun that I ever had
She said, «you’re cold, man»
She said, «you’re cold, man»
The lights are on on the second floor
Of the apartment house tonight
But there’s nobody home

Gloria, going wrong
You know this here won’t last for long
But you’re not just any other girl, renowned
You said you’d been right to the top of the world
And I know, all the days are marked with red
In your calendar
Sighs run ‘til the end of the street, so long
You know, I stand corrected, ardently affected, so long
Get gifted, get lifted
See the way my eye it twitches
Tremble like the tremolo
The way it rattles out the radio
You are the one I’m running from
The only one I’ll ever
The only one I’ll ever

Said you want to be alone, I have always been alone
Just don’t know anymore, when your clothes they are on
I awoke late one night, and I heard all the quiet
And I got all excited, couldn’t tell you never can
No teens
See the charcoal ignite, all the furniture in flight
That what’s alien is real, cannot stand my absent stare
A black hole, suit yourself, pulls the strings on me
Don’t you want to talk about it?

The Happy Murdered

See all the empty days
That I am set to stay
Dwindle into the horizon of
The calendar
Running out of time
Tick tocks in my mind
I ain’t dealt with anything
Won’t you let me back in
A new shirt to your skin
The space that’s in between
Is mine to keep from the disappointment that lures
To tell you something that’s true
I always knew we were going to lose
It killed my valentine
The gaps she left behind
I just wanted to say
About the holidays
To mischievous grins
Highly held chin
«You were so much more fun before
What made you so sore?»
So sore
So sore
So sore

About the Holidays

Page torn out, let the city into your room
I’m hearing the sound of the words that she said
I picked up the phone receiver today
I know where you’ve been, I know who you were
For sure, Saturday evening
And I’m just hanging on
Turned into
Somewhere in the city is an unknown
Who decides if not tonight
The city lights
Humdrum once, let the Saturday night turn you out
Be a murdered smile, darling the
Phone cord that you’re dangling from
For the word, says in a book, Sasha don’t look
For sure, Saturday evening
And I’m just hanging on
Turned into
Somewhere in the city, is an unknown,
Who decides if not tonight
The city lights

No Teens

The ghosts are in my dictaphone
To know that I am prone
To hate her
Typewriter without-a-paper
Twinkle twinkle printed star
Indulge-a my jealousy
Ha ha–, ha ha–
It’s wherever you are

Walk through that door
I’ve no love for myself, I’ve no love for the bottle
Sally Hayes
Don’t take that tone with me
Junipher Greene, how could you do it?
Mercury said, looks like you blew it
And you’ve read all the books
And you’ve travelled around
You’re out for the seventh time
Don’t fade on me, St. Partially
Open the door
Say what you will, I could not do it
Mercury said, looks like you blew it
You are no one tonight
You are no one tonight
Junipher Greene, how could you do it?
Mercury said, looks like you blew it

I never see you alone anymore
But I ran into a lamp post in 1996
So I couldn’t know for sure
If it was always for somebody else, Audrey
Wasn’t it now? Wasn’t it now? We were typists
The Good Companion Model T
You never answered, you just smiled and looked at me
When you walk around the snowy town, you whirl around
So now you can disappear, into the footprints left last night
A sweet repose, what I miss the most
January arbitrary, are you all too bright?
In early November, December, remember, remember
The emotional trash, the emotional trash
And who’s to tell one end from another
You can be anyone, you won’t be just anyone
Joseph goes to town, you lurk around the lost and found
On rainy days, when I don’t have all that much to say
A sweet repose, what I miss the most

Drum & Snare

The way you walk so self-assured
Purple shades have turned to blue
Drum & snare, you’re everywhere
Go on rattle through my bones
Don’t you go a-miss austere
Sitting naked in a chair
Slip of tongue and change of heart
By the rhythm that she goes
Can’t take me down to the sacred store
Spill your secret, that’s just the way it goes
The beat that makes me come apart
And who’s to know which day will be the last
The way you walk so self-assured
Purple shades have turned to blue
Drum & snare, you’re everywhere
Go on rattle through my bones
