1. _ Daysleeper
receiving dept 3 a m
staff cuts have socked up the overage
directives are posted
no callbacks complaints
everywhere is calm
hong kong is present
taipei awakes
all talk of circadian rhythm
i see today with a newsprint fray
my night is colored headache grey
daysleeper
the bull and the bear are marking
their territories
they're leading the blind with
their international glories
i'm the screen the blinding light
i'm the screen i work at night
i see today with a newsprint fray
my night is colored headache grey
don't wake me with so much
daysleeper
i cried the other night
i can't even say why
fluorescent flat caffeine lights
its furious balancing
i'm the screen the blinding light
i'm the screen i work at night
i see today
don't wake me with so much the
ocean machine is set to 9
i'll squeeze into heaven and valentine
my bed is pulling me
gravity
daysleeper daysleeper

2. _ Suspicion
now my suspicion's on the rise
i have known i have known your kind
please don't talk don't make me think
order up another drink
let me let imagination drive
can't you see
i need
nothing too deep
imagination
come alive
suspicion
tonight i'll dream tonight
listen to the devils in my ear
tell me what what i want to hear
you're so funny you're so fine
you're so perfect you're so mine
that i never had an opportunity
to hide
no i never had a chance
can't you see
i need
nothing too deep
imagination
come alive
suspicion
tonight i'll dream tonight
look into my eyes
they hypnotize
the lights the drinks
let the music carry you away
my eyes are blurred
my sights are limited
am i sensing a familiar twinge
please don't speak
make me think
it's all too deep
imagination
come alive
suspicion
step down i'll dream tonight
step down i'll dream
you're so naked baby
carry me away
dream dream

3. _ Sad Professor
if we're talking about love
then i have to tell you
dear readers i'm not sure where i'm headed
i've gotten lost before
i've woke up stone drunk
face down in the floor
late afternoon the house is hot
i started i jumped up
everyone hates a bore
everyone hates a drunk
this may be a lit invention
professors muddled in their intent
to try to rope in followers
to float their malcontent
as for this reader
i'm already spent
late afternoon the house is hot
i started i jumped up
everyone hates a sad professor
i hate where i wound up
dear readers my apologies
i'm drifting in and out of sleep
long silence presents the tragedies
of love note the age get afraid
the surface hazy with attendant thoughts
a lazy eye metaphor on the rocks
late afternoon the house is hot
i started i jumped up
everyone hates a bore
everyone hates a drunk
everyone hates a sad professor
i hate where i wound up
i hate where i wound up

4. _ Walk Unafraid
as the sun comes up as the moon
goes down
these heavy notions creep around
it makes me think
long ago i was brought into
this life a little lamb
a little lamb
courageous stumbling
fearless was my middle name
but somewhere there i
lost my way
everyone walks the same
expecting me to step
the narrow path they've laid
they claim to
walk unafraid
i'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high
say keep within the boundaries if you want
to play
say contradiction only makes it harder
how can i be
what i want to be
when all i want to do is strip away
these stilled constraints
and crush this charade
shred this sad masquerade
i don't need no persuading
i'll trip fall pick myself up and
walk unafraid
i'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high
if i have a bag of rocks to carry as i go
i just want to hold my head up high
i don't care what i have to step over
i'm prepared to look you in the eye
look me in the eye
and if you see familiarity
then celebrate the contradiction
help me when i fall to
walk unafraid
i'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high
walk unafraid
i'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high

5. _ Hope
you want to go out friday
and you want to go forever
you know that it sounds childish
that you've dreamt of alligators
you hope that we are with you
and you hope you're recognized
you want to go forever
you see it in my eyes
i'm lost in the confusion
and it doesn't seem to matter
you really can't believe it
and you hope it's getting better
you want to trust the doctors
their procedure is the best
but the last try was a failure
and the intern was a mess
and they did the same to matthew
and he bled 'til sunday night
they're saying don't be frightened
but you're weakened by the sight of it
you lock into a pattern
and you know that it's the last ditch
you're trying to see through it
and it doesn't make sense
but they're saying don't be frightened
and they're killing alligators
and they're hog tied
and accepting of the struggle
you want to trust religion
and you know it's allegory
but the people who are followers
have written their own story
so you look up to the heavens
and you hope that it's a spaceship
and it's something from your childhood
you're thinking don't be frightened
you want to climb the ladder
you want to see forever
you want to go out friday
and you want to go forever
and you want to cross your dna
to cross your dna with something reptile
and you're questioning the sciences
and questioning religion
you're looking like an idiot
and you no longer care
and you want bridge the schism
a built in mechanism to protect you
and you're looking for salvation
and you're looking for deliverance
you're looking for deliverance
you're looking like an idiot
and you no longer care
you want to climb the ladder
you want to see forever
you want to go out friday
you want to go forever

6. _ Parakeet
you wake up in the morning
and fall out of your bed
mean cats eat parakeets
and this one's nearly dead
you dearly wish the wind would shift
and greasy windows slide
open for the parakeet
who's colored bitter lime
open the window
and lift into your dreams
lately baby
you can barely breathe
a broken wrist
an accident
you know that something's wrong
you fold the leavings of your past
no one knows you've gone
the sunspot flares of the early
nineties light up your wings
and scan the shortwave radio
it's tracking outer rings
the tectonic dispatcher shifts
to smooth the ocean floor
and flattens out to warmer winds
of brisbane's sunny shore
where buddhas tend to mending wrists
a tea made from the leaves
of eucalyptus fragrances
and coriander seeds
you wake up in the morning
to warm pacific breeze
where mean cats chew on licorice
and cannot climb the trees
open your window
and lift into a dream
baby baby
baby starts to breathe

7. _ The Apologist
they call me the apologist
and now that i'm at peak
you know at first it really hurt
we joke about these things
i've skirted all my differences
but now i'm facing up
i wanted to apologize for
everything i was so
i'm sorry so sorry
did you understand me right
the people here are good
they tell me what i should have done
and offer what i could
i'm good all is good
all's well no complaints
when i feel regret
i get down on my knees and pray
i'm sorry so sorry
i live a simple life
unfettered by complex sweets
you think this isn't me
don't be weak
there i go
i'm so sorry
thank you for being there for me
thank you for listening goodbye
i can forfeit selfishness
i hope for you that you apply
this happiness
this peacefulness
i'm sorry so sorry
i live a simple life
unfettered by complex sweets
you think this isn't me
that's so sweet
i'm so sorry

8. _ I'm Not Over You
i feel great i lied to save your feelings truth convened my
head smashed through the ceiling i lost an arm no one harmed
you diplomatically alarmed i sulked away to lick my thin skin

9. _ Why Not Smile
the concrete broke your fall
to hear you speak of it
i'd have done anything
i would do anything
i feel like a cartoon brick wall
to hear you speak of it
you've been so sad
it makes me worry
why not smile
you've been sad for a while
why not smile
i would do anything
to hear you speak of it
why not smile
you've been sad for a while
you've been sad for a while

10. _ Falls To Climb
i'll take the position
assume the missionary part
you work by committee
you had me pegged from the start
i'll be pounce pony
phony maroney
pony before the cart
i'll be pounce pony
this ceremony
only fills my heart
who cast the final stone
who threw the crushing blow
someone has to take the fall
why not me
a punch toy volunteer
a weakling on its knee
is all you want to hear
and all you want to see
romantically you'd martyr me
and miss this story's point
it is my strength my destiny
this is the role that i have chosen
who cast the final stone
who threw the crushing blow
someone has to take the fall
why not me
gentlemen mark your opponents
fire into your own ranks
pick the weakest as strategic
move square off to
meet your enemy
for each and every gathering
a scapegoat falls to climb
as i step forward silently
deliberately mine
who cast the final stone
who threw the crushing blow
someone has to take the fall
why not me why not me
had consequence chose differently
had fate its ugly head
my actions make me beautiful
and dignify the flesh
me i am free free

11. _ You're In The Air
you wanted a challenge that's calling you higher i landed on my feet by crawling i
remember standing alone trying to forget you idling i hate to admit that that's my
reference point but there it is you say you want me
i'm what you found i'm upside down you're in the air you're in the air and i am breathing
brighten the stars the weather is lifting the heavens love a love like this it's pulling
you higher twist it and turn this around it lights from within it dribbles your chin now
brings a smile i'm lost again i'm lost again
i'm what you found i'm upside down you're in the air you're in the air and i am breathing
you
i want the stars to know they've won if only to beguile the sky has opened up again in
heaven reconciled i want you naked i want you wild i want the stars to know they win
give me that smile just give it me just turn it on i'm lost again
i'm what you found i'm upside down you're in the air i'm what you found i'm upside down
you're in the air i'm what you found i'm upside down you're everywhere you're in the air
and i am breathing you

13. _ At My Most Beautiful
i've found a way to make you
i've found a way
a way to make you smile
i read bad poetry
into your machine
i save your messages
just to hear your voice
you always listen carefully
to awkwards rhymes
you always say your name
like i woulden't know it's you
at your most beautiful
i've found a way to make you
i've found a way
a way to make you smile
at my most beautiful
i count your eyelashes secretly
with every one whisper i love you
i let you sleep
i know you're closed eye watching me
listening
i thought i saw a smile
i've found a way to make you
i've found a way
a way to make you smile

14. _ Diminished
i watched you fall
i think i pushed
maybe i'm crazy
maybe diminished
maybe i'm innocent
maybe i'm finished
maybe i blacked out
how do i play this
i will give my best today
i will give myself away
i have never hurt anythig
is the jury wavering
do they know i sing
maybe i'm crazy
maybe diminished
how do i
how do i play this
jealous lover self defense
protective brother chemical
dependence
i'll consult the i ching
i'll consult the tv
ouija oblique strategies
i'll consult the law books for
precedents
can i charm the jury
i will give my best today
i will give myself away
i have never hurt anything
is the justice wavering
does she know i sing
that song
sing along
sing along
sing along
i will never hurt anything
i watched you fall
maybe they'll see me
maybe they'll say
i can see the truth in his statement
smallpox blanket no way
can i charm the jury my defense
maybe i'm crazy
maybe i'm diminished
maybe i loved you
baby i loved you
baby i loved you
baby i loved you
baby i'm finished
i will give my best today
i will give myself away
i have never hurt anything
is the justice wavering
does she know i sing
that song
sing along
sing along
sing along
i will never hurt anything
i have given myself away
i have given my best today
i have never hurt anything
is the justice wavering
does she know i loved you
does she know i loved you
does she know i sing
