I've gone to see the lady
for a night about the town.
She comes and fills the standing room
that follows me around.
She says that we've met before.
I think she's barely lucid.
But I'll be high and mighty soon
Walking home alone again on 2nd Avenue.
I said, "Small talk's incendiary,"
And she says, "I know what you mean,"
Then casually sets the room ablaze
Cursing the price of gasoline.
And she says "Loosen up."
I think she's barely lucid.
It's just another night in town
Walking home alone again on 2nd Avenue
It's a dull and tired show,
But I'll be back for more -
Another seven older
Another seven colder than before.
She says the grind is killing her
Although she doesn't want to pout -
She's only here to drown her sorrows
I'm just here to drown her out.
And she says "Have a drink, Nick."
I think she's barely lucid.
But I'll be in the comfort zone
Walking home alone again on 2nd Avenue
I finish up the bracer
And I square away the tab.
So much for the bank account
And so much for the cab.
She says "Walk me home, hon."
I swear she's barely lucid.
And I'll be good and lonely soon
Walking home alone again on 2nd Avenue.

Love Song (Malevix)

Such wonderful geometry
Planes of space of which I'd only dreamed
I've fallen in love again
Checking twice to make it certainty
Every lap I run, it stares at me again
Is it red?
Yes it's red.
Is it white?
I see it's white.
Is it red?
Yes it's red.
Is it white?
I see it's white.
Such beautiful absurdity
Englishmen and Solar Victory
I'm counting the hours again
Watching the clock for six
Every lap I run, it stares at me again
Is it red?
Yes it's red.
Is it white?
I see it's white.
Is it red?
Yes it's red.
Is it white?
I see it's white.
Is it red?
Yes it's red.
Is it white?
I see it's white.
Is it black?
Yes it's black.
Is it white?
I see it's white.

The Auto Mile
Still a wasteland, but
It's not the same.
Everywhere I go,
I find a trigger
And who's to blame?
I can't go home until I
I can't go home until I
The billboards tell me
What I should want, but
They've not been right.
I lie awake and
Ask what they're selling -
Still, every night.
I can't go home until I
I can't go home until I

'Til Christmas

All of the things you packed away
In an ornate box - don't open 'til Christmas
What if they find you before the day
And all of the notes that you burned in the fire
Looking like art 'cause you're too drunk to read them
Will you remember the things that they say
All of the people that swear that they love you
What if you wake up and find they're all scarecrows
Will you keep calling anyway
And all of the things you packed away
In an ornate box - don't open 'til Christmas
What if they find you before the day

You tell yourself
That all too soon
The time will march
And mend all wounds
But waiting's such a fucking bore
With lines inside and out the door
Well spoken with nothing to say
Well spoken with nothing...
Burn this house
This house improves with fire
When ash is lighter than desire
It burns but just the same
This house is nothing but a frame
Well spoken with nothing to say
Well spoken with nothing...
Well spoken with nothing to say
Well spoken with nothing to say
Well spoken with nothing to say
You're all well spoken with nothing to say

Jim says it's all in my head
I said it's all Dadaism
See them passing - the menagerie
Is it - is it a walking day?
Is it - is it a sitting day?
Watch them moving to the places they go
It's absurdity
It's conformity
It's the places they go
It's their legacy
Uniformity
It's the people they know
