Old Sadface! they will not let me write about you for long
they want newness. you still hang out at corporate record stores
with Old Dropout, out by the studded belts, Castlevania shirts
it's unhealthy. yeah
everyone I know, alive among the live ones
must be nice to know, stayin buoyant with small-business-America
so excited for a whole life alone, with no home!
hey hey hey you're on your own and ready to go
keep your friends heat-close
keep me where you keep your phone
am I nuts, to think I finally figured out what I want
and to want it? no gardens grow in empty Labor's lawn
he is tired, tired, tired. I am callous, porous, and wired
it's whatever. yeah
everyone I know, alive among the live ones
must be nice to know, stayin buoyant with small-business-America
so excited for a whole life alone, with no home!
hey hey hey you're on your own and already bored
keep your friends heat-close
keep me where you keep your clothes.

Old Anguish tells me of his Buddhist conditions of mind,
and hands me a reading list.

In the city between the tiled lights
on the ceiling, we feed off brightness
like we're dustmites, eating, breathing
thinking "we know we're here," and
we're overwhelmed with fear so we
twist and turn until our heads
split ear to ear
well I can't continue like that
'cause I know what happens next
When I'm not sure if I belong
and he's not sure where he is from
well how are we to get along
if God's not sure what set it off?
we've been having anxiety
without electricity, yeah
this is how we get along.
Stuck in stations all day, news-stand
clerks stand in place. Their hopes begin
and end in tunnels full of faceless big
brains, and all of those whose fortunes
grow in droves, while we writhe and pull
pray towards the sky, and wonder if he
left us behind
well I can't continue like that
'cause I know what happens next
When I'm not sure if I belong
and he's not sure where he is from
well how are we to get along
if God don't know if he got thumbs?
we are having anxiety
without electricity, yeah
that is how we'll get along.
I'm not sure if I belong
you're not sure why you're around
well how are we to get along
if God's whole crew just said "so long"?
we are having anxiety
without electricity, yeah
that is how we get along --
and I don't wanna be much less
than limbs and legs and powerless
but everyone I know is high;
everywhere I look is left
the rust peels from our skin
the sulfur smell begins, and
though I'm not consigned to it,
it governs me from elbow to the shin.

All new hot-and-cold
lines of young and bold:
Temporary borders
brick and mortar
cut through home and hearth
I like the movie when
it's substance over style
where's the worth?
He gave it worth...
(ooo.)
Then, when you get there,
all the people that you know
come overflow.
Tough not to like it when the
Expectation Maestro starts the show
he says, he says, he says:
"You wanted what you got.
Keep that in mind when it gets old."
Liked his advice, but
what about the rest?
Who's striking gold?
---instruments!---
Living for the culture:
conversation pieces
rightness wars
college, kids, and
fuck-it-all.
Giving to a vulture.
Made up minds precede themselves.
Living for the vultures,
those great decision makers.
living for the vultures.
(Then, when you get there,
all the people that you know
come overflow.
You feel it too. Let it show.
Give 'em rope.)
