Sentence Foam
03:31
|

A story that could use some sentence foam
Depending on what you're running from
Stepped into a cathedral and the skies were great
A steady stream of old world spray could fix this city block in a way
A sustain pedal hooked up to a brownstone
A salutation that could benefit
From a few of spritzes of varsity shit
Layman’s terms lovers
Shortcuts for gondoliers
What in the Hell's Kitchen is going on here?
It's the kind of thing that can bring one down
A weak magnet on a friendship bracelet that you can't wear out
Not trying to be bizarre
Not trying to be bizarre but I started there anyway
The ceaseless brinkmanship
Might knock my fear of death loose
A story that could use some sentence foam
Depending on what you're running from

Praises Sung
03:41
|

Hopefully we're aware that we're capable
But sometimes need to validate
Although it should be innate
It should be innate
Henceforth, praises sung
Occasionally it needs to convert to
Sound waves to be knocked back
Absent-mindedly it's too easy to slip into inmate mode
Long ago my clique was infiltrated by a candidate who questioned
"Why are my praises not being sung?"
It was a punchline back then
But it's a resonant lamentation
A dangerous safety is set in motion
Coats get flung
Praises unsung
Vowels In Time
And the coats are flung
It's the novelty ballads that speak volumes
Henceforth, praises sung
Occasionally it needs to convert to
Sound waves to be knocked back

After Four Decades
03:13
|

After four decades
Old formats interest me
The past seems nearby and recent
After four decades
Time perception is off
Weather checked by zip code
A credenza for our credentials
Hip Lair, Lip Hair
An age of fine-tuning
Hit pause
Pump the volume down
Psychologist gets the gist
Let that not be me
Let that not be me
Let that not be me
Let that not be me
Fervently secular
Religious but not spiritually inclined
I told my human vet that I've got this weird thing going on
Where each day that passes accumulates into
A grand total that calculates my age and I'm afraid
That the number is getting unwieldy and the afternoon grows late
I still can’t fold a fitted sheet and antiquity is neat
Can’t fold a fitted sheet and antiquity is neat

A Myopic Era Looms
04:00
|
|||
Inserted some banter but it really didn't land at all
Snuck a few laughs in but they failed to make contact
A conversation that was ejecting passersby
A troubled hologram at a roundtable discussion
Satisfied with the quips
Buoyed by the pleasantries
I'm not in the spontaneous resolution know-how
A myopic era looms
Do you ever feel like a topic sailing away?
Do you ever feel like a topic sailing away?
Do you ever feel like your onboard computer needs reset?
Have you ever attempted incremental mourning?
Lately I seem to prefer to watch the film analysis
Rather than the film itself
Farsightedness could serve as an exorcism
A way to reduce the schism

This Entire Committee

Thank you to the entire committee, I hereby
Recuse myself completely
This investigation feels more like a probe
I haven't the patience at all
I just wanted to take a few minutes
And I just wanted to say a few words
Thank you to this entire committee for their vision
And bless this commission
This adorable council
And thank you to the entire committee
And thank you to this entire committee
I hereby recuse myself completely
This investigation feels more like a probe
I have no patience at all
Not seeing patience at this time

Noir Napping
03:20
|
|||
Lost two grand oak trees on our property
By lost I don't mean misplaced
When they came down we buckled
Famous winds of the world took the red and
The white was a mercy cutting
After at least a century
I'm sure there's a metaphor in there just waiting
To come alive and explain what it's all been for
Hey there let's not get carried away
Hey there let's stick to entertaining
You took a hard left at left field there my friend
It's just some noir napping
Famous winds of the world
It's just some noir napping
Famous last winds

Enduring The Classics
03:01
|
|||
I had this idea to endure the classics
Recent music wasn't sending me chills anymore
It's also called frisson
And frisson is the reason that we call it a drug
In the nineties I was turning up my nose
At past albums that weren't punk or grunge
I was coming of age
And the nineteen sixties just seemed so hippie-dippie
And the seventies I couldn't calculate
And the eighties please it just stopped making sense
The classics they got to me
The classics they got to be like a favored vest
A truant guest
I had this idea to endure the classics
Recent music wasn't sending me chills anymore

Some Malapropisms
03:54
|
|||
I'm compelled to issue some wrong terms
To keep myself entertained
I Feel non-pulsed when I pass up the abnormality
The need to decompose after long days
A general sense of infusion
Departures from a train despot
Do you catch my thrift?
Momentary policy
A prescription for magazines
A subscription from a doctor
Audience precipitation
Mystery loves company
Drug resistant inflection
Privacy is not a victimless crime
My immortalization schedule
Nobility issues
A desire to stop that internal racket
A desire to stop that internal racket
To set a president
Resource repletion
Comments that are have been sorted
Momentary policy
A prescription for magazines
A subscription from a doctor

Tender Handoff
03:20
|
|||
You know my ideal
Holding court
Hunkered down
In a snowed in chalet
You know my actual
Partially clinical
Rather cynical
Aiming for jovial
You know me
Usually prepared
Seldom late
But I wouldn't say present
A lighter touch
We've got a lot of creatures active
We need a lighter touch
We've got countless parties swamped
We need a delicate charm
A tender handoff is in order
A tender handoff could be special
Matching complications
Visceral Mid-Atlantic dabblers
It's like we don't want to be
Burning the candle just at one end
