There is a middle-aged woman dragging her feet
She carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat
While the Mexican children kick rocks into the street
And they laugh in a language I don't understand
But I love them
Why do I love them
So the neighborhood is dimming as I smoke on the porch
And on their faces just anger or disappointment
I start wishing there was something I could offer them
A consolation what could I offer them
When they are sad in their suburbs robots water the lawn
So they start to believe that they haven't touched anything at all
While the cars in the driveway only multiply
They are lost in their houses
I have heard them sing in the shower
Saying You come home
Darling you come here
Don't stay so far away from me
This weather has me wanting love more tangible
Something I can hold because it's getting cold
So lets hold up our fists to the flame in the sky
To block out the light that is reaching for our eyes
Because it would blind us It will blind us
Now I have locked my actions in the grooves of routine
So I may never be free of this apathy
But I wait for a letter that is coming to me
Yes I can be healed
There is someone looking for what I concealed in my secret drawer
In my pockets deep
You will find the reasons that I can't sleep and you will still want me
But will you still want me
Well I say come for the week
You can sleep in my bed
And then pass through my life like a dream through my head
It will be easy I will make it easy
But all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time
A melody to keep me from worrying
Oh some simple progression to keep my fingers busy
And some words that are sure to come back to me and they will be laughing
My mediocrity My mediocrity

Did him know it was a devil town
Oh lord it would brings me down about the devil town
All my friends were vampires

Well morning came
And it dressed the sky
In a lovely yellow gown
In that narrow hallway of downtown
Their lovers and their friends
Saying they won't e...
Fall is here hear the yell
Back to school ring the bell
Brand new shoes walking blues
Climb the fence books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be...
There is nothing for
Just this baggage I keep carrying on
As if I had someone
Ok, maybe there is a woman somewhere
Who's still thinking of me
Or a gir...
The fragile keep secrets, gathered in pockets
And they will sell them for nothing
A cheap watch or locket that kind of gold washes off
And the sad act...
You can make a plan
Carve it into stone
Like a feather falling
It is still unknown
Says it's time to go
You could choose the high
Or the lower road
Yo...
I picked you out
Of a crowd and talked to you
I said, "I like your shoes"
You said, "Thanks can I follow you?"
So it's up the stairs and out of view
N...
And I watched you falling to your death
And the sun
she could not save you
She's fallen down to
now the streets are wet
Body of water
Toxic and timele...
