Golden Birthday Cake

The golden eyed children play for a slice of golden birthday cake
watch the children play
Their mothers smile as they watch keep watch as their mothers smile
for their golden child
They say they have their father's eyes their eyes as their fathers say
the color of their name
There's a tower in the sky
forty thousand stories high
your father's story book archive
your father's tower in the sky
There's a flower on the vine
deep beneath the treetop line
your mother's source of milk and wine
your mother's flower on the vine
The golden eyed children play for a slice of golden birthday cake
watch the children play
the golden eyed children play for a slice of golden birthday cake

Away From Me
04:23

The blue of the
ocean on the map
smiles at me
the color of
the actual sky
lies to me
I can see
the ship you send
away from me
on the waves
washing to the end
of the edge

Trading Cards
04:09

You gave me trading cards
of my favorite celebrities
faces of movie stars
from all the latest magazines
I traded them away
to the paparazzi
I traded them away
to the paparazzi
they published everything
everything you gave to me
the photograph
taped onto the retail glass
the employee of the day
the paragraph
tried to type into the fax
to tell you what I say
the laughing gas
laughing at the tear-gas mask
you wear upon your face

Piece of the Paper
04:03
|

|
So many men, flattened like a desk
where soft saw-dust sets
over dented metal legs
under hard level heads
So many hours, stacked like the eggs
to be harvested
by the farmers from the hens
under surveillance
and the drawers shut tight
to hold in all the paper
and the chickens always fight
for a piece of the paper
for a piece of the paper
they cannot take any brand new high pitched sounds
they begin to tune the whole world out
they cannot take any brand new high pitched sounds
they begin to tune the whole world out
they begin to tune the whole world out
the average statistician
averages out
to the sum and the difference
of his averages

Alpine Contest
05:21

|
You are fictional
You are fictional
The signal is sent in the smoke
You are physical
You are physical
The friction is felt in your bones
To be next to you
To be next to you
Cities brag and they boast
My soul is alone
At an alpine contest
A remote control
For a television set
My soul is alone
At an alpine contest
A remote control
For a television set
A cellular phone
At a teleconference
Looking for the gold
That she hides from conquest
It's cold in the snow
Cause we climb at the sunset
Looking for the gold
That she hides from conquest
It's cold in the snow
Cause we climb at the sunset
In a model home
I'm the guest and your the host
In a model home
I'm the guest and your the host

Waiting for the Table
05:02
|
|||
|
Baby you are burned in my mind
Baby you are burning my mind
Let me loose and leave me behind
Let me lose what I've won in the fight
Punched out the clock at the end of the night
To resume with the room service you provide
You and I are through
With all explanation
You and I are through
Waiting for the table
Waiting for the table
