The misery of love is a funny thing
The more it hurts
The more you think
Yes, you can stand a little pain

In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand

"Well I found a bunch of letters that were written for the fellow that broke your mamma's heart, and the envelope folds smelled of her ancient perfume..."

Well I may look older
I may have more lines upon my face
But the biggest lie I ever heard
Was that wisdom comes with age

they can call me crazy if i fail
all the chance that i need is one-in-a-million
and they can call me brilliant if i succeed
gravity is nothing to me, moving at the speed of sound
i'm just going to get my feet wet until i drown

One drop of blood on immaculate Keds
Mom, do you know where your girl is?
A sophomore accomplice in a turtleneck sweater
Dad, do you know where your kids are?
Sniffling at crystal in cute little cars
Getting nailed against dumpsters behind townie bars
It's a cute little town with boutiques and cafes
Her friends all seemed nice, she was getting good grades
But when she came home for Christmas
She just seemed distant and different

was what I did so wrong?
so wrong, that you had to leave me alone?

Heard you got an infection
From a guitar player of great renown
Wait 'till the shit hits the fan
You couldn't turn him down

These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

You swish your legs to find
that if you change your mind
you better change it back
or we will both be sorry.

Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of.

Hang on to the lines left to learn
To the truth in each busker's breath
To the chant and the strum still left to wonder

I am afraid of bridges, sometimes I have to turn around.
When I'm driving towards one and my heart begins to pound.
Last night at the bridge to Johnsburg I swerved down a dead end street.
I sat there shaking in an empty lot full of broken glass and weeds.
Then past me in the darkness ran four wild dogs
leaping over abandoned tires high into the air.
In the air, in the air, someday I will live in the air


Sometimes I think about being one of those dogs.
