Loan Shark

Dream love come into me easy

washed out and breezy

the rivers occur

Beneath the sky lines

swallowed up by towers

too many hours

spent eating the world

oh what a country

brought me to a clearing

direct upon hearing

the beautiful song

of progress sweeping like a shimmer

Develop and simmer

the fever is gone

Cause there's a hole in the pocket where the money ran out

at the time it was better I believe you

but it was grace under fire, there's no reason to doubt

you had a blast.....didn't you?

Hard/hot rain boils underneath me

I want you to teach me

whatever you learned

of all the secrets, harboring desire

professional fire

which passively burns

oh what a waste of

beauty and retention

we don't ever mention

the grit and the grime

but I still trust you

I will always love you

don't let the papers

unravel your mind

Cause there's a hole in the pocket where the money ran out

at the time it was better I believe you

but it was grace under fire, there's no reason to doubt

you had a blast.....didn't you?

And tell me what was it like, and how did it feel,

who breaks a butterfly, on a wheel

Robert took the rap and spent 10 months in jail

we had to lie.... to lie

Sometimes I feel like all my heroes are, dying around me

And all my answers are the questions and dreams

I have to shake myself, to the voices that hold me

I have to dream.....waking

but maybe when I breathe my last, I'll be steadied by reason

to throw my nerves at the wall of the earth

oh don't you leave me here

no direction and vision

we have to trek.....slowly

and I will throw.... caution bravely to the wind

I'll cut myself

free from burning stretched within

I'll have no self

Greater than the thing I am

and we drift, we drift like sound

and beauty breaks our ears again

we drift, we drift like sound waves

we drift like sound waves

take a long walk carpal stone and city (sitting)

did you used to run it?

did you used to show

I had a long day, trying to remember

breathing in silence

and breathing it out
