  4. Crushed Velvet

    You wear straw by daylight The day is made of straw Crushed velvet for twilight It helps to break your fall You shun the sun at noon Because the heat could make you thaw Fractured by moonlight You say the crutches make you tall The night is made of nothing There is nothing to fear Not the Thief,...

  5. Kiss Me Friday

    Now is the time, now is the time The apple is ripe; assassins in line Now is the time It was one of those; you know what I mean Doomed from the start, fall down the stairs You know what I mean There I was reading Tropic of Cancer Flush with caffeine, teeming inside Converging at last on an answer...

  6. The Purest Atmosphere

    One last announcement As a final precaution Please extinguish all smoking And fasten your seat belts Low and tight across your hips Into the cloud bank And plucked from the air Was it random chance Was it circumstance The air coach never landed? And the crew I never knew Became eternal confessors...

  7. Behind the Shadows

    When the steam starts to rise from Market Street That’ll be me, that’ll be me When the promise of night haunts your every dream That’ll be me, that’ll be me What it was used to be so unusual Now an empty face in a broken bus window Wheels go round without saying so Foghorns wail without asking…

  9. Midnight Lullaby

    Sing me a midnight lullaby Fill my head with stars Sing me a midnight lullaby And I promise Sing me a midnight lullaby Fill my head with stars Still my fears with moonbeams And I promise I promise Hum a song so soft and low Nightmares run and hide Hang it over my pillow And I promise I promise...

  10. Careless Smile

    Hey, tell me why you think It all went wrong Why the world will not be saved With just a song When the morning comes There's a cruel surprise With a clever wink And a careless smile You enter the room With a knowing look And a careless smile They say the world will end It’ll end at dawn Hey, tell...

  11. Most Precious Things

    You are where the heart is And, oh, the time it takes to fall An upright man goes to his knees I’ll not look back again — not look back at all Your grip was so hard But your ghost has the most tender hands Your tongue was so sharp But I’ll recall the most precious things you said Most precious...

  12. Lover's Tattoo

    From the cradle to the grave Plays a song I will remember Tapping at the window One long, cold December On clean sheets Where lonely hearts beat A lover’s tattoo Detailed in sweet surrender Some things you can’t forget But best not remembered In dreams we dream What happiness will not allow From...

  13. International Dateline

    International dateline International dateline Far out over the Pacific Out over the nebulous sea On the other side of the globe You'll arrive In some other tomorrow Tuesday came You did not Your parents said you made a call You quit your job You caught a plane Set your aim on better stock In the...

  14. Milky Way Baby

    See the dreams above the clouds Fold them into pocket You're the dream above my clouds Slip you into pocket Number on the napkin is mine Seize the dream above the clouds Before you change your mind Milky Way baby, milky white star Mr. Moonglow's back in town to catch you When you fall In his...

  15. Edge of Night

    Runaway Locomotive Balanced on the edge of night Having murderous dreams You suffer Hanging on the edge of night All alone with your dreams Of sadist masters with cherub’s wings You say the nightmares don’t scare you Anymore You turned your back on conventional life Through the ring of fire...

  17. The Ones I Love

    There are those who Become desperate and doomed Those who haunt themselves and who Become shadows Those who live in dreams of times gone by Of times to come And often fail at love But who can hold the wind?
