Man Without Past

Man without past seeks woman without past
How’d you get so far without finding who you are?
I want to close the past like a suture
and jump into the future
Yeah, I know, time won’t let me go
Just turns like a kaleidoscope
She picked up erasers and clapped them with a cloud of chalk
that made you cough and cough as you walked on down the block
He stole your skateboard, said you liked gay porn
You went to your room, the tears jerked with scorn
A few more years to become like Don Juan, bro
or Marilyn Monroe
Just punch your idols, T-K-O, hike up your pants and go!

Clueless, Baby
03:41

It took guts, what you did
No one noticed it
It took guts, what you did
No one noticed it
From the top of your head, out through your lips
What no one expected, from a quiet kid
You smashed the past
You opened up
and broke the system
You called its bluff
Said enough’s enough
But no one listens to a pacifist
in a world that shakes an iron fist
So thanks for telling me
cuz I’m clueless, baby

Last Time
02:35
|

You declined to come with me
When I invited you up the street
and then you dissed me and I never got an apology
You never break your pattern
Do I even matter?
It’s the last time I come back here
You’re on the couch drinking beer
Movies on TV
Make me feel empty
I’m going to a party
I’m going lonely
I’m going to a party
I’m going for me
You declined to read my book when I said hey man, take a look
and then you acted like if I’m not dead then I have a big head
The same pattern every day
You always have your way
It’s the last time I come back here
You’re on the couch drinking beer
Movies on TV
Make me feel empty
I’m going to a party
I’m going lonely
I’m going to a party
I’m going for me

Moving
02:56
|

If you wanna get far
How will you get back?
With no car?
You better take your backpack
If you don’t like who you are
How will moving change that?
All the pennies in your jar
Are you own guilt tax
and I know you
and I don’t think you’ll need that
And who put the guilt there?
And who pulled up the quilt there?
The one who called your name from the bottom of the stairs
And what will erase all the pain from your face?

You Make Me Break
02:28
|
|||
Woman and man
Hand in hand
Slacks and gown
Smile and frown
Always around
Soft as down
Soft as down
You make me break
Give and take
and do what we must
till we fall to dust
Planes and boats
Wild oats
Long winters
Loaded words
Hot interns
Swaying ferns
Swaying ferns
You make me break
Give and take
and do what we must
till we fall to dust

Feel Like a Tree
03:12
|

Do you ever feel like a tree?
Were you watered Dr. Pepper haphazardly
Growing wider by the ring
Do you ever feel like a tree
Grew through the barb wire fence
That divides the yanks and the feds
If you grew green limbs would they clip your new additions
Nipped in the bud
Never knew you could
Do you ever feel like a tree?
Growing wider by the ring?
Were you watered Dr. Pepper haphazardly
when someone dropped a drink while empty
When you happened to be very thirsty
Grew through the barb wire fence
That divides the yanks and the feds
If you grew green limbs would they clip your new additions
Nipped in the bud
Never knew you could
Left out back drying out
You grew strong
They’re the ones dying now
And you’ve grown on
