Bigger Animals

Easy on the eyes, but distant
Even when we lie undressed
Sleeping on the job, you twitch and yawn
I could not apply the lesson you were trying to get through my skull
You could not disguise your frustration
Its a judgement call
When the lust wears off
Simple animal attraction
Simple appetites to feed
Bigger animals eat up the small
I was under the impression we were gonna pull through
You were underneath another dude
Its a judgement call
when the lust wears off
And I could not hide my doubts
Easy on the eyes, but cryptic
Like a movie in reverse
Bigger animals spit up the small

Early Runner
03:15
|

|
Split my love right down the middle
Dig out every sour seed
All the fat and gristle
Split my love wide
Split my chest right down the center
A belly full of black bees
Buzzing up through my ribs
To slip past my teeth
Oh, my lungs
Balloons in a cage
Oh, my heart
Piss in the grapes
The early runner rigs the race

Lakes

Talk in the dark
Loosen your curled-up tongue
Caught in your mouth
A cricket under a palm
Humming in the kitchen
Humming to yourself
A silent actress, a leading man
With violent habits and gentle hands
Loosen up your grip
Move in the dark
Loosen your curled-up arms
Tall in your gown
Your body under my palms
Cursing under your breath, cursing to yourself
A fine example, a leading man
With violent habits and gentle hands
Loosen up your grip
The bruise yellowed out
Grey to brown
Lakes underground
The bruises fade out
Grey to brown
Lakes underground

Weatherman
03:25
|
|||
|
Stormlines gathering dark in rows
The weatherman stands in the rain
Pirouettes into the howling gale
Howling back up at the hurricane
How could I predict this pressure system?
The weatherman carries a lightning rod
To Culvey Hill, under a thunderhead
He don't budge, he don't budge
He don't flinch when the bolt comes
How could I predict this pressure system?

Cavalier Hotel
03:01
|
|||
|
Crawl into the bathtub, spinning drunk
Southern summer, cool my head in the tap
Working through a hangover Monday morning
Pale and shaky, sneaking off to throw up
All my friends were off doing drugs on the roof of a church
Driving to the north end, 1 A.M.
The Cavalier Hotel looms from the hill
Slip into the water, cool and dark
All the neatly staggered lights from the pier
We got naked and swam 'til the lights were alarmingly small
