***Funny Face***
I wanted to write this song about love, a song about you but what could I do? And when I start I'd stop trying and I start crying knowing that my love won't do. Ever since you sent that photograph faded in the sun, an out-of-focus picture blurred by the sun. Now everybody's talking about us making a fuss about who's doing who. But when I'm done writing this song and it won't be long then you will know. But the past is a photograph and I want to take a picture of it, a time-lapsed exposure of some fireworks in summer.

***Dubious***
Frustrating,
I'm waiting I know that you still
love him,
is there something wrong?
Over-reacting to just another
lover's song.
A is heart attack
B is for the sting
C is the
candy
on my lips
that I bring, what is going on?
(When you touch me do you see me?)
Now I know
it's true
what he
meant to
you when
he said
that
you'd be
lonely but
when I'm
deaf and
dumb
your pretty
song is the
only song
that I sing.
I'm just like
you but I'm
getting
worse, it's
not so bad
but it's not a
curse that
you
can shake
with a shrug
or a
shag...you're
not so evil
but you're
still so bad.

***She's Real***
I could try anything but I'm not as smart as I used to be you want to tell my heart goodbye I know, I know, I know your heart don't lie tell me what I gotta do to be good for you. When you smile you're breaking me, I don't know how you put this change in me I used to be so cruel but now it's you who's breaking all the rules tell me why I'd want to hold on to you. Tonight it's much too hot to sleep and I walked all night Jamie's drinking beer on the church steps, five o'clock fire alarm. Now I am walking down Rivington East River Park swinging on swings in the dark I'm waiting for six o'clock. I was sleepless second avenue everybody's out tonight 85 at half past two but you're sleeping by yourself... She's real she's real I know my love is real but from a block away I can see your shades drawn down and black. Be my baby.

***Dreamland Burns***
this living nerve skin duct and bone or a rusty coil but there's something here past my chain-link fence in this zero place there's nothing left a photograph folded into four falling in the mud in the afternoon light I used to care what you said my heart is full my lungs give and take my heart's a wire cage of springs and rust of cement and rock where it was dumped your voice collapsed on the static line on the radio dial left of the nine stay up all night and into the light writing ESP letters to your house

***Drownings***
If I were drowning in waters far from home I would stare up sinking skies above if I never reached out blacked out I got drowned sunlight touched me then the tide came then I got drowned if I could drink an ocean from a spoon I would sleep right through the afternoon if I never reached out blacked out I got drowned sunlight touched me then the tide came in then I got drowned
