Good Fortune

My sink leaks, makes small drips on the plates
Of which I've decided not to clean
Instead I'll rise from bed and make coffee
Take a walk in the brisk morning streets
Chinatown outlets and running kids
Speaking languages that far surpass me
I have no money, not enough to eat
Instead I'll pass downtown to the valley
My tobacco of which i've so foolishly spent
The coins I've worked so hard to keep
Down on Whyte at Burlington's
Across the ave I rode my bike
109th to the Parliament
I'll sleep all day in the grass instead
Good Fortune, fortune to you
May the resting dragon asleep on buddha's breast
Wish good fortune to you

Vernon and Josephine

I'll meet you down the street
On the corner of Vernon and Josephine
Underneath the eaves
My back against the brisk
My feet tapping the cement
My breath smokes
The morning's cold
And on the corner I wait
For a moon notwithstanding
What the sun's already demanded
The sky, a blue surrendered
And the truth has been revealed
Wavering when I speak
All the things I long to show you
On the corner I wait
On the corner of Vernon and Josephine
Underneath the eaves
And I long to show you
But i'm afraid the truth can't be traded
For a meaningless exchange
Of cigarettes or conversation
And I'll wait here as you bend to retrieve
That passing mango shadow you see
Between the passing river waves
And the floating leaves
Over Vernon and Josephine
Over Vernon and Josephine

If I Was Wood

And if I was wood
I'd bend and crack, and reveal my things inside
Just like wooden horses
In my palms lie
And if I was wood
I'd float you to the other side
Across the river, make a fire
And oh Goddamn I finally realize
Ew Ew Ew Ew Oh
And if I was wood
I'd grow you green in the summer
Let you blossom and die in the winter
And come back again as a spider
'Cause i'm in love all the time
Ew Ew Ew Ew Oh
And you cannot set my soul free
It must be done on time
And I cannot set your soul free
All things come on time
And wake me at sunrise
With coffee and sheets
And the morning sun
And the dew, to clean
The feculence of the night, hereafter
'Cause i'm in love all the time

If the universe was an envelope
And my words so loud
Who connects the cords
Of electricity with that esoteric glow?
And the neighbourhood looks like teeth
Who chews the skyline
And every time it eats
When the sunset comes
All shapes of atoms
Will circle in recital
Definitions of revolutions dance
And the sun circles from the eastern front
And i'll wait
And i'll wait
For her to come

Oh, how hard I tried
Baby why can't we be?
Oh in times like these
It always seems
The darkest alley won't keep me from being free
Oh California
Your driest season couldn't bring me down
Oh California
Mendocino I remember you well
California
To single out
A summers day
Let the years go by me
Feels more like a movie
Than a picture I once seen
Oh let me tell you
Celebrate life everyday
The southern sun will bless you
Oh California
Your wettest season couldn't bring me down
Oh Mendocino, where i'm bound
A thousand miles away
But I remember you well
California

Amorous Wood

When she said
"Take me far away from this place"
I couldn't refuse her little ways
So I began to pack up our things
And she looked at me
And the moon shone in her eyes
I tried to tell myself I didn't mind
Setting my heart ablaze one more time
Amorous wood, how do you burn so good?
When the whole world is about to expire
I'd rather love, than burn in your fire
So I sat down on her bed
And we talked into the night
The lonely pauper's laugher echoed off us
Over candlelights
We tied our knots against all definable odds
And we made our escape
Knowing our fates would kill us if we stopped
Amorous wood, how do you burn so good?
When the whole world is about to expire
I'd rather love, than burn in your fire
I'd rather love than burn in your fire

This Shit's Fulltime
04:42

Babe why don't you just come on by?
I've fried up some fish and cooked up my life
And all my friends, they take their time
Oh, deliverance and the waiting
I'd rather spend my days in a car with incense burning
It sounds so stupid but it makes up for not doing the wrong things
To spend my days like this in good company
The pouring sun makes the clouds look like:
Fat bulbous sponges in the floating
To pour a bucket of detergent into the ecliptic
Makes the celestial divide look like someones armpit
Babe why don't you just come on by?
I'll take you out for a little drive
I've already paid my insurance
and enough gas to get us by
And coffee in my thermos
'cause I love you so much
but you hardly exist
Tiny remnants shining on broken glass
You look like my ass
You look like venus
oh, my venus
oh, my invisible love

Morning light shines down
Kills the shadows downtown
Morning light shine through
Paints my body bright
Children play across the street
Noises at my window panes
I take the train to the library
And the snow is bright and brown in the streets
I got my backpack and some library fines
But I got no money and it's cold outside
And where I sit, I can watch the people in the square
Trading conversations and kisses
Drinking liquor and going about their business
The sun gets lost behind the clouds
Switching colours on the ground
Ron's in the cafe getting things started
Ron's in the cafe getting things started
The evening falls, the PA lights up
The music fades, the crowd burns out
I'll catch the 8, meet you down at the river
We'll drink the night, and wake up hung over
