hello everybody welcome to my movie
eat your dinner hot, eat it with the sauce
eat your dinner soon, eat it with a spoon

take me back to the beginning
into the deep hole
its just that evil eye
that keeps you from your goal
when your love has left your soul
you went down to the market
i had nothing to grow
spent my day riding buses
moving slow

christmas dimension
04:59
|

|
i remember those feelings
looking upward to the window on the ceiling
i was looking at a darkening sky, sky, sky
i remember those feelings
every one of those feelings
made me conscious of the moon in my eyes, eyes, eyes
it’s your christmas dimension
i just saw a purple lady
next to paradoxical pat
she came in like a stranger
he came in wearing his hat
paradoxical pat:
“if you’re lonely won’t you tell me,
cause i am too
even if you don’t know what to think of me
i wrote this song for you”
purple lady:
“even if i feel emotions, there’s none for you”

song of my vices

i know when i drink a bottle of wine
everything is going to be fine
but if you see me watching tv
you know im inspired
even when im tired
i know when i eat a plate of hot food
it has a positive effect on my mood
but if you see me eating poorly
you know id be wealthy
if i could be more healthy
driving through a small town
on a very sunny day
you were at the theatre
i was behind the wheel, oh
to you my life’s a movie
but to me it is so real
i know when i tried to hold your hand
i fell and caught myself in the sand
and lost my sight
to the moon’s loud light
people say that they don’t understand
but i think they do
i couldn’t believe that i wouldn’t understand
if i was you

|
i was laying on the couch
with a picture burned into my eyes
i was feeling heavy
and it’s true ive been having a hard time
keep track of the moss
that is growing in your doorway
even if youre gonna be lost
you can take it day by day
eat all of the sauce
that you’re given, that’s what they say
even if youre gonna be lost
you can take it day by day

paid vacation
02:23
|
|||
|
if i could have a paid vacation
id go up to new york
people having strange relations
with their bodies and there’s so much more
people taking inspiration
opportunity at every door
but I can’t afford a plane ticket
and i can’t drive no more
but people i believe in true love
people i believe in true love at first sight
people, people
go out and find a lover who will hold you through the night,
the two of you together
sometimes i get that crazy feeling
deep down in my bones
the pain starts coming and baby
the pain won’t leave me alone
people try to help me feel good
try to help me get away from my home
but i can’t take the discomfort,
id rather be alone
but people i believe in true love
people i believe in true love at first sight
people, people
go out and find a lover who will hold you through the night,
the two of you together

the caravan with floating fingers gliding through the air towards William in his lonely castle makes me self aware
yesterday we found a reason why they still are there
you would think that we’d be grateful
for their devotion
i can’t change the weather
though i try to write in 5
it doesn’t sound as good as i’d like
this time i hardly know what’s real
i only want a taste of you to know just how it feels
wed get along quite well
but I see youre feeling spiteful
towards my religion
you can’t know the power of the things that I see and the things that I know to be true

green vegetable hash

just cause the weather’s your friend you don’t have to pretend that you know me
i know how it goes and it shows
so you don’t have to tell me
but tell me when I wake up in the morning
will it be another day of games
cause im not that kind of boy
youre not that kind of friend
the cats getting sick again
treat her nice, feed her rice
in the evening
i said your name to a friend you’ve never seen
and he told me
“if shes a vegetable girl with a taste for greens don’t let her near me
thats just the type of girl who would bore me
that’s the end of the story”
but im not that type of boy
i like to stay in shape
recording straight to tape
drinking tea, thinking freely and open

gretchen my girlfriends step mom works as the manager at the store
she calls my line late at night to help me keep from getting bored
you know it comes down to that unanswered question of life that we all try to find
the answer to, if not consciously, somewhere in our mind

song of my dreams
03:23
|

i had a dream i met a man
he asked me what i knew about making movies
he saw right through me
then I sawthat i knew his face
i knew him from the time i spent in london
we were having fun then
but times have changed and now he's here
to pick my brain and face my fears for me
in my dreams
old man just churning the butter
grass snake comin up from the guitar
he's gonna teach him just how to slither
in my dreams
the only one for me is you
and in my dreams I see the happy ending
in my dream i was ascending
then i saw that i knew your face
i knew you from the time we spent together
in the snowy weather
but times have changed and now you're here
to pick me up and spend the year with me
in a dream
these things can be hard to follow
this years getting hard to swallow
now my life is exactly like my dreams
|

i can’t stand the feeling of letting you down
when im all out of my famous fresh grounds
drinkin coffee in the morning
ill walk down to the old corner store
dark roast, drinkin my cup on the floor
drinkin coffee in the morning

the flood

when the notion was brought up
that the ocean was washed up
all the people were caught up in their heads
all the shovels were propped up
before the flowers had cropped up
it was really a toss up
then the barriers went down
cause the government shut down
everybody was let down in their hearts
then they called on the hero
to start at absolute zero
to rebuild the borough

in paris, carelessly

hope that you enjoyed the show
next time I’ll try to be more together
i can’t believe i still have dreams about her
but you know that it’s justified
even when I think I can’t go on without her
you admit that you have tried
to curve the best things that I always try to welcome in my life
but when we get together
we’ll dance in the black of the night
listen to the conversations people have
maybe see the tower but it’s not essential
