Changing
It was such a futile thing
that kept me from understanding
What i needed to, what i need to
I think i’m changing
like shaking off this dead skin
I’m shining through, i’m shining through
I wanna be a part of every part
And be a part of every world
To be a part, to be apart, to be a part
It’s here
You were never somewhere else
you were just the part of me
I didn’t wanna see
And now the air is changing
It’s always changing
I’m changing too, i’m changing too
It was such a futile thing
that kept me from understanding
What i needed to, what i need to
I think i’m changing,
like shaking off this dead skin
I’m shining through, i’m shining through

Cloud Parade
Come outside, come to the porch
Come to me, show me what i’m worth
Legs crossed on the passenger side
With your left hand up, waving goodbye
Saying
“I know you”
And honey I know you too
You stood there in line
With the fools and the bees
Flying in their hives
While i laid on the back of a truck
Staring at the clouds, getting fucked up
Saying
“I know you”
And honey I know you too
And now
In the country steam
In the dark, in the dust
From the factories
Where you stare out to the world
And that cloud parade gives you a swirl
Saying
“I wanna see something new”
I wanna see something new
“Eagle, idaho”
Come outside, come to the porch
Come to me, show me what i’m worth
Legs crossed on the passenger side
With your left hand up, waving goodbye
Saying
“I know you”
And honey i know you too

I Love It All

I Love It All
I love it all but maybe you don’t
And is that enough to keep us here
Is that enough to keep us where
The love is spreading everywhere
Spreading just like butter
On the bread that’s on your place
And I wish It’d last forever
But I’m just afraid it ain’t
There’s no flashing on the chimney
And the mortar’s running dry
Some say it’s a smoke stack
I think it’s how we die
I miss when my piano was the piano I liked
I would play that thing for hours
I would compose every night
When he turns the stove on
It’s not just to cook
He will light his cigarette
And read you his old book
Then every once in a while
He’ll break your back and make you smile
He’ll talk about the cats
He won’t let you forget that
You love it all though maybe he don’t
Is there anything forgotten here
Any stone left unturned
Any pasture left to clear
I love it all but hey you’re wasting my life
If you ain’t bein’ honest
I don’t wanna be your pawn
I don’t wanna be your artist
Think we’re supposed to come back
In forty something years
Bags under our eyes and
Elephantine Ears
I could plant a pony now
Sun Butt have to wait awhile
Son I will come back in style
Gotta give me a lifetime to figure it out
Come out everybody
Let’s all show ourselves
I won’t ever be your master
You won’t ever be an elf
And quit just staring at me
I am not that fun to watch
I love it all but hey
Maybe you don’t
And that’s such a shitty thought

Hometown

Hometown
I got a scratchy throat and
It’s ‘cause I’ve been smokin’
Back in my old bunk room
I won’t have that pass soon
No way to get solace
Old man dead skipped hospice
You can hold my home down
You won’t be my home town
You can hold my home down
Back up in that bunk room
Sister has their saloon
American dolls are
Patrons of the store
And I collect old nickels
I’m not sure what they’re for
What about the basement
My friend died down in there
He’s a salamander
My young George they killed him!
Under a pane of glass I
Never told the plumber
He still holds the home down
Here inside our home town
He still holds the home down
(Here inside our hometown
Here inside our home now
Here back in the old town)
(you might be my hometown
you might be my home now
you might be my-)
What about the TV?
The one that’s up in Mom’s room
People would ignore us
We go to the forest
We go to the teepee
Here she comes on the ATV
That girl holds the home down
Here inside our hometown
That girl holds the home down
Here inside our home town
here inside our home now
here back in the old town
