ten hours up the 90 a standing desk awaits barren of the trinkets and retablos that might accompany M as she enters into lifetimes of alabaster blues formica and a hollow are far enough away that marbles tumbling down with every gaze we share's enough to make you say I can't think about that for right now because I've gone alabaster grey so we'll keep it down for right now there's nothing in a name in 20 years, I'll pacify my wonder bristles raised and out of phase I can't carry the tune decant another silent stare it's alabaster blues from this vantage back behind I hear the stolen verse I eavesdropped on myself to find the tremors never asked me first as if I owe a debt to my own fear because it's alabaster blue so we'll keep it down for right now there's something in a name in 20 years, I'm not sure if I'll wonder bristles raised and out of phase I can't carry the tune decant another silent stare it's alabaster blues when I told you that I wrote this song you asked me how it went I said I couldn't play it because it doesn't have an end

what got lost in the fire? why does it not surround you? I could never retire, but this race isn’t fair the tortoise and the hare at this corner I hope we’ll cross otherwise not fast enough settle down aesop not the time to speak you took me to the store but there’s no receipt I said how am I supposed to run when I can’t compete? and I’ll arrive if she asks me see myself at the lakeshore somehow outrun the rabbit just as I’ve become able this ending brings despair the tortoise and the hare maybe monday I’ll lose my head and on tuesday I’ll forget what you said settle down aesop not the time to speak you took me to the store but there’s no receipt I said how am I supposed to run when I can’t compete and I’ll arrive if you ask me I’ll arrive if you ask me

it’s far enough to traffic stolen goods but now they’re all around a painting of these woods in indiana fall they move so slow the waves against the rock falls throw them one by one we don’t even mind if michigan is cold fire lights the night burns the hair off of our wrists a michiana wind in our stomachs I wouldn’t change at all I wouldn’t change at all in 70 I found my caledonia seven rivers flowed let me in among them I never would have known I never would have known fire lights the night burns the hair off of our wrists a michiana wind in our stomachs I wouldn’t change at all I wouldn’t change at all fire lights the night burns the hair off of our wrists a michiana wind in our stomachs I wouldn’t change at all

pile into the car half a bird in the box lines pass white and yellow to the Greens 111 down the hall blue arrows on the wall and all of my wishes these are all of my wishes Label sitting at that table with a smile upon your face it’s more than I can take three black beetles down houston street chilly drinks and sandy feet pull me from the pool I cannot breathe hey Leon strafford house bought and sold flowers bloom in winter cold Mary living in the solace of their greed Label i wish it were a fable but now that you’re below the towel has been thrown three black beetles down houston street chilly drinks and sandy feet pull me from the pool I cannot breathe hey Leon three black beetles down houston street I’ll be back after six more weeks rectify this breach I cannot breathe hey Leon Label sitting at my table these are all of my wishes these are all of my wishes
