lyrics

In God’s abundance: stuck in coach, I’m all revved up with a place to go. A known supporting role. The spiteful aubergine, with eyes oedemic, purple-black. A coddled public screams, “We’re back!” He’s drawn a circle ‘round the wreck. Now he’s attempting pirouettes.

Come on, fella, come on down. We’ll count the grains of sand in Encinitas ‘til the skin drips off of both sides of our hands. I’m feeling so alive again. I know just what I am. Clearly doing what I can just to see how useful I can be, slowly, as I march into the sea.

In God’s abundance: courtside seats (well, two rows back from courtside seats). Watched the Clippers beat the Heat, and wound up on the screen as they were showing those resembling various celebrities. Focus inward. Soul was whispering, “Buddy, that’s not you, that’s me!”

Come on, people, come on down. We’ll vibrate with the land and teleport to Sparks, Nevada. Peel out westward toward Japan. I’m feeling so alive again. I know just what I am. No thank-yous necessary, ma’am. Just seeing how useful I can be, slowly, as I march into the sea.

I’ll say no. I said no. ‘Cause the complimentary breakfast’s always sad. The offer don’t match up with what you have. Embridled and extraordinary man.

“What’s that show?” I’ll have you know: that show was something special, and it ran for a season-and-a-half. Movie shitcanned. Embridled and extraordinary plans.

Top-billed in this tastefully staid apartment. Eight-by-tens still kept in the glove compartment. Took names of the guys in the art department. Took blame for that tiff at the farmer’s market.

We’ll see if dumb’s the end of free. Swiftly, babe, we march into the sea.
