My only love
Faces time for his wrongs
And my only love
On my heel, rests his head, and hums a song
Forever, forever
Haunts me deep like Bible School dreams of Ponyland
Forever
My only love
Writes back when he is gone
And my only love
Doesn’t care a wink whether or not I’ll be alone
Forever, forever
Haunts me deep like Bible School dreams of Ponyland
Forever, forever

Don’t you know?
This love has got me bad
Don’t you know?
You’ve got me in your grasp
Don’t you know?
This love has got me bad
Don’t you know?
You’ve got me in your grasp
Well it wouldn’t seem without my indication
None of this insidious laughs
And I wouldn’t know what we’re supposed to do here
Then again, what’s love without glass?
Don’t you know
This love has got me bad
Don’t you know
You’ve got me in your grasp
Don’t you know
This love has got me bad
Don’t you know
You’ve got me in your grasp
But if I decline my best mind, soul, and savior
Must too this odyssey rest?
And just as I will jump from any danger
Carry me right out in jest
Don’t you know?
This love has got me bad
Don’t you know?
You’ve got me in your grasp
Don’t you know?
This love has got me bad
Don’t you know?
You’ve got me in your grasp
So tell me this is what it’s gonna be like
Oh, my love, man
Simmer under all of your lights
Oh, my love, man
Go to anywhere we’ll be fine
Don’t say “my friend”
Just tell me if it’s gonna be all right

River Road

Right down River Road
Too idly to know
Time’s going so fast
And the car’s too slow
Up on Donna’s drive
In the fall headlight, holy Halloween night
You smile say you never felt this good before
We laugh, oh, we never heard this sound before
We smile, we never been here before
Right down River Road
Two idly alone
Fiery words start to flow
Love my baby so
Never do her no harm, never
Kiss her ‘less it’s dark or not
In the Melting Pot parking lot
After school we’ll never be caught
Love, J, I know you know
Love, J, I know you know
Maybe just too young to keep good love from going wrong
Cuz suddenly I hate everything you say loves you
But it’s not my fault, not my fault
Fuck it for a while we can get along like this
Fakin’ a smile, seal every fight with a kiss
Right down River Road
Where the rain rose like smoke
And farewell words start to flow
My mind in tow
In this room I’m writing from
You remember it well, don’t you love?
But there’s nothing left, just the memory
Two scars on my thumbs from our parting plea
Roll down River —
Too idly to know
Time’s going too fast
And we’re just too slow

Lullabye,
My my my
You were sick all summer then, I know
Lullabye,
You were sick all summer then, I know

This is my last jog
I’m leaving in
Two hungover runs,
A sports bra
No more cherry sun
No more wine
All the gallows roar
The back of my mind
If I could get just one word,
Get back my old head,
Get back my I.D.
Just one word you said
But here I am, out on the bone
No more cherry sun
I whisper this, I whisper some
You hear the gun

You shall speak all I command
Harden your heart
Prove that you are mine
You shall know I am
My river turns, your blood inters
Drunk your Nile
Say it’s not a symptom
The wind whistles
A locked window
Waiting here for law and freedom
Visiting friends coming
Keeping tabs
My vitality passed
And on tomorrow, see me
Opening doors
And pouring forth
To the World —
You shall speak all I command
Harden your heart
Prove that you are mine
You shall know I am
My river turns, your blood inters
Drunk your Nile

IN the silence of your room, us two
Faking it again “we can’t be through”
In the bombshell of your room
Promise me you’ll remember
Violet in the light, dancing
Just us two
