catastrophe 02:06
catastrophe - the last to let go relax the lead and find a new role the last to leave - you were the last to call silence is a masterpiece and not a big deal i just want classic sleeves and two square meals no-ones coming after me - im not that big a deal look at this hercules - hes got the four wheels and this berkeley squeeze - shes a grad for reals im not really sure what theyre figuring out i caught you looking back at me eyes like two pools happening - its not but thats smooth who really knows if we figure this out intricate - smile like an equation perfect fit -thumbs in your waistband im asking please - keep your voice low unpack all your things 'cause land-ho! factory - where everythings slow the sudden light a musket spills - out on the moor throw down a pair of kings and two jacks to make sure ill probably have to row myself home again happenstance - let go the reason give me half a chance - what is believing? coastline receding...

ever since i was young i was taught to be helpful and swim a mean 50 yard sprint now i run with the church that keeps busy with the rhythms of an immigrant night my siren runs at the maximum these dramblers in my city take a toll on my scheduling trying to run a deficit on affection but am i really to blame theres a synthesizer tugboat here in my mind im thinking you should be the elegant one just a couple of zeros who never took a vacation and now... its like were picnicking now still running with the free parishioners sink full of dishes like theyre after me what an excellent stride, its got you moving the tribe and making music with a healthy exuberance whensoever i smile i feel a wind-up scooter doing laps through my images file wool vest, camouflage jacket white shoes, tan slacks TAN SLACKS its like were picnicking now, picnicking now

all alone, no-one around telephone wont wake a sound plenty of time, got all night a couple of moths are caught in the light taking a dive, coming up short all of these dramblers are making me work getting a hunch, following up havent slept good in a couple of months mustache is fake, so is the hat wondering if i can ever go back faking a smile, making it work heats got me sweating out of this shirt the horses are out, they dig through the bend screams of the crowd go 'round through my head

i take it back lets skip the drive and go stroll outside i want to see it in my memory eye looking back i hear bongos cry, the road gets wide its just like i memorized mercy me the girls got sighs, christmas eyes its just like you memorized take a breath and swing a loping stride with an ice cream vibe now you can remember, right? they get off at five: the antler tribe with their inkwell scribes that know how to memorize i take it back, lets skip the drive and go stroll outside wake up with your bike outside, youve been hypnotized its just like you memorized drop the towel, let the night air dry diamond drops of light automatically memorized eyes closed i hear the perfect line - win the haiku prize its just like i memorized i take it back lets skip the drive happy birthday to my favorite spy and your sixteen lives and all the stuff we memorized

sand and rocks and shifting light silt and stones and changing tides fish and seals and rubber eels the hermits come to make amends and loiter there at seaweed bend the light moves down the scene and all make the light gonna make the starfish crawl calling whales and sea-grass mounds diving birds that swim around yellowfin and tired sharks sun goes down and the cove gets dark an otters' tail in the rockweed shines couple of rays in the seafloor brine blue mud shrimp and bullwhip kelp hiss of the waves on the glittering smelt drifting all for a glimpse through the minds' islands just shorts and a mask and some rubber fins drifting lulled in a trance dont get caught in the crab trap but we like it in the crab trap

farewell and adieu to you spanish ladies farewell and adieu to you, ladies of spain it is often the case that we meet again after and often the case that we dont meet again farewell and adieu to you farewell and adieu to you spanish ladies farewell and adieu it is often the case that we meet again after and often the case... farewell and adieu to you
