Lyrics for Song: Everything Must Go!
Lyrics for Album: Left And Leaving
Garage Sale. Saturday. I need to pay my heart's outstanding
bills. A cracked-up compass and a pocket watch, some plastic
daffodils, the cutlery and coffee cups I stole from all-night
restaurants, a sense of wonder (only slightly used), a year of
two to haunt you in the dark, a wage-slave forty-hour work
week (weighs a thousand kilograms, so bend you knees) --
comes with a free fake smile for all your dumb demands
the cordless razor that my father bought when I turned 17,
apuke-green sofa, the outline to a complicated dream of
dignity, and a laugh (too loud and too long). For a place
where awkward belongs, or a phone call from far away with
a Hi, how are you today, and a sign that recovery come to
broken ones. Or best offer.
