For the Birds

Throw all of my things out on the front lawn
For all I care, they can float away
Said a lot of things that don’t make any sense at all
Most particularly, nothing
And words
Are for
The birds
Grass is always greener in a new town
‘til you realize it’s just you again
Woke afraid alone just before the fall of Rome
You were worried you missed it
Well words
Are for
The birds
Everything you see is a cinema scene
Everything you hear is a dream, dream, dream
Everything you say sounds stupid to me
To me
Let it be a lesson for remembrance
To watch for falling rocks along the road
Look up once a while, you’ll be heading out in style
In a held handbasket
But words
Are for
The birds

In the Arctic

In the arctic
Where my love lives
It's been 21 degrees below zero
As the crow flies
It's not very far
But to walk across the tundra on your own...
In my wildest dreams
I never thought you would send me away
So far from Morrow, I thought you'd just say
"I'm get tired
Turning in..."
For the night
For the night
For the night
For the night
In the desert
Where my heart has been
It was 21 degrees above a hundred
You may ask me
Where my loyalty lies
It's all written up above into the stars
Where you mapped out my soul
I never thought you would send me away
So far from Morrow, I thought you'd just say
"I'm get tired
Caving in..."
For the night
For the night
For the night
For the night
Oh, my frozen rose
Living on the skids
Lying on the floor
In a black hole
In your retinas
Where you taught me how to walk in zero gravity
What you may know
Is if you float too far
Then the silver cord that ties you to the world
May strand you out in space
In my wildest dreams
I never thought you would send me away
So far from Morrow, I thought you'd just say
"I'm get tired
Turning in..."
For the night
For the night
For the night
For the night
For the night
For the night
For the night
For the niiiiiiiight
