oh Midori
where’d you run away this time?
i swore it was a joke before but
now you’re gone and
won’t return my calls
i’m gonna look for the girl with the purple eyes
so we can disappear along a
magic mountainside
oh Naoko
blind and sleeping under willow trees
she spent an adolescence in a corner
crying dog got kicked one time too much
and in the summer sitting still
still shivering as if the air she breathed
was a Norwegian winter wind
we watched a fire start
the last time that you played
that little red guitar
and sang you’d weave a long beautiful scarf
but you have no thread
a poem but you have no pen
you have nothing left to give
out of luck we locked out listless lips
just want to walk away from this
we were seventeen
the last time that you wrote a shitty melody
that said we had a long amazing
life ahead of us
but now we’re dead to us
another dozen years too late
i smile because it’s just so strange

why do you have to make me wait so long?
hey there, somber stare
falling over stuff that isn't there
when you look down at your feet
trying not to think of me
i know you won't forget
all the words you learned before i left
it's a tongue we used to speak
without space between our face

Close Enough

i don't know just where i'm going
but if you're there it's okay
we'll take a sleepwalk
half awake
halfway up the staircase
where did we come from?
where are we going now?
hallucination sewn to your dressing gown
lower the lamplight
lift up the cover
to make the broken shape of a lover
feel for the space that seperates
the statue, the sculptor
i've only ever known you moments at a time
but i don't need a lot
i don't need a lot
you're there when i wake up
some days you are not
but i don't need much
where did we come from?
where are we going now?
we were almost close enough
to forget our lonely selves
and through the window a hand comes down
like the sound before a storm
we spent the morning half convinced
we slept in a snowglobe
suddenly its clear that the sum of our love
adds up to nothing
a solitary mother sleeping in the sun
adds up to nothing
the same little sun sleeping in the mother
adds up to nothing
but i don't need a lot
i don't need a lot
it's barely worth a yawn
la la la
la la
but i don't need much
i never needed much
we were almost close enough
to become a single cell
we were almost close enough
but i was somewhere else

Monday Blues
03:30
|

|
it's alright
but it's just not the same
there's a river full of boredom flowing steady through my veins
the alarms are sounding off before the sun opens her eyes
then you work yourself into an early grave
the one you lie in wide awake
every time you try to fall asleep
this party is dead
and i wish i never came
even alcohol won't make these people interesting
now i'm stranded on an airplane that's falling from the sky
it's a shame how a life will go to waste
i want a weekend every day
goodbye my monday blues
the working class is so depressed and its all because of you
one day i'll make some money
you won't see me anymore
because i'll pay you all to just leave me alone
oooooOOoOOoooooO
ooooOoOoOoooOooo
ooooooOOOOOOOooooOOO
oooooOOOOooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
goodbye my monday blues
i've been growing sick of clocking in to your soul sucking tomb
one day i'll make some money
you won't need me anymore
because I'll pay you all
to just leave me alone
