Unique homes in Eastvale
Where families grow a boy
We've all loved and we continue
In our love for him
"Only a hiphop star could make life here work"
Cost him five hundred thousand dollars
Still a price good enough for anyone
Who has daughters
Or an album out
"Only a radio voice can dispel my doubt"

My Coat Rack Broke
01:18

My coat rack broke
My coat rack broke
You helped me set up
You gave me some hope
My coat rack broke, and now
I'm counting on you
To set it straight with just a dash of wood glue.
My coat rack broke
My coat rack broke
Remember when we once
Knew how the thing worked?

He Should Be Forgiven
02:47

I'm going down to the precinct,
Tell the officer what I think––
I should be having my vengeance someday.
And on the first day, when he walks out
I'll introduce him to what I'm about––
I should be having my vengeance someday.
I told the officer what I thought.
He said "Lady, keep in mind that I'm a cop––
You can't be having your vengeance on my watch."
He said "I should be a lover before anything else."
wtf .... ?
I have 100 years
And for my daughter
I have cried, cried cried.
It's hard to anything
Better than that.
But he should be forgiven, before anything else...

We wasted a long time over potato pancakes
Searching for one joke you had not made yet
Two decades behind us, chocolate milk in front
Noelle counts those who come and those who go
But mostly those who only come to die :/
I knew you before you were a wrestler
Before you had ambition like a dozen dyin' trucks
So wired in, so wireless to me, to everything
But on the tip of my tongue ;)

JD and Pet Lizard
01:35
|
|||
|
Your nametag was taken from your desk
The pet lizard you have left is so depressed
He reads "JD Salinger" in bed
What wine is best with sorrow?
Should I go to the department store tomorrow?
And should I open all my old wedding wines?

Thoughts On The End
02:13
|
|||
|
Under the light of your patio
We smoked the last of it
Waiting for no one to show up
On top of the unfinished beams
Of the loosely done lattice
Comprising a fence between us
Under the light of the screen door you closed
We disposed of the glass and you drew me in close
Saying "nothing you do can mean nothing to me"
And in the morning
You look out your window
At brownstones and redstones
And stones of all colors
Wasting your thoughts on the end
Your thoughts on the end
Isn't it love you feel when you make a gift of yourself?
