Staying In

I found a gray hair in the mirror
"Look around, you are getting older" ( I said to myself)
I've outgrown my own bones
(The dial tone of my phone)
Pick up, I'm not answering
I've had enough of my very own skin
and this state that I'm in.
I have to accept that I am changing
My whole life I am re arranging
I'm burnt out on all these politics
No way out of corporate consciousness
I just want to come home to you baby,
and see you smile ear to ear
I've come undone
Let's both walk, let's not run
Pick up my heart my heart from this race
I've had enough of this thing that we chase
And we're stuck in this place
Phone calls we're not answering
We've had enough we're staying in
Escape from the city we live in

I'm the one who's always waiting for the train
anticipating and does this stop go down to Oregon?
I hope that I won't wait too long.
Fuck this train, put on my headphones
I just want to be alone and give me lines
I can be fed
I just want this song stuck inside my head
I've got this song stuck inside my head
Get me out of the house
meet me down at Rittenhouse and
to your place in Fitler Square
run my hands through your hair
and I've got you stuck inside my head
Is it okay for me to have you in my head?
It it okay to tell you that I love you?
Meet me at Love Park
we could meet there in the dark
and every time we kiss goodbye
walk these streets, look at the sky and
I've got you stuck inside my head

Lullaby

I will sing you all these lullaby's in the darkness
while you talk in your sleep
lay your arm on me and lay your leg across me
while you speak in tounges
you speak
singing lullaby's in your sleep
singing lullaby's stuck in your sleep
singing lullaby's in your sleep
singing in your sleep
Do all these nightmares haunt you?
Do all these nightmares taunt you?
you are always talking in your sleep
and I wish that I could hold you
after dreams that I told you
wish we didn't have all these dreams
singing lullaby's
singing in your sleep
I'll sing you to sleep

there's something in my heart
I know it's there
but sometimes it's just hard
for me to bring it out
the beating will start
but this Winter has been cold
it doesn't mean that I don't love you
we will work this out
and there are things that I want you to know
Baby, you're beautiful, I want you to know
when you're in your cubicle, I'm covered in snow
the city's covered in snow
there's something in your heart
I know it's there
when you come to my apartment
from running in the snow
Baby, it's cold outside
I want you to know
open the door and you'll jump my bones
Baby, you're beautiful, I want you to know
let's make love, you're wonderful
and covered in snow
Baby, just make your way to my side of town
don't you know that I want you around
I want you around
these are the things I want you to know
and there are some things that I want you to know
Baby, you're beautiful, I want you to know
when you're in your cubicle we're covered in snow
baby you're beautiful I want you to know
when you're in your cubicle the city's covered in snow

(Charles Bukowski intro from Artbound)
Always was better writing it down
(how) do I say that I'm glad I found (you)
Cause I just like having you around
so make your way to my side of town
Will you say what you mean
(Will you believe)
(when you say) you're in love with me?
and you're drunk? and do you believe
that I say what I mean (do you believe?)
that I fucking care?
and i'm down on my knees
pretty fucking please
(do you believe)
(please don't deceive)
that I will be there?
Put me to the test
Get it off your chest
Tell me how you feel
is this for real?
Can you just forget
all of my regrets?
Put it in the past, to make it last
to make us last
How could I forget the night we met?
New Years Eve
in the kitchen
you wore that dress
speaking Russian (and French) to the guests
(I thought in my head what I could say)
And I came up and said:
"Privet, menya zovut Mett'yu"
"Have we met?" (she said)
and the ball would drop and we would kiss
How did it come to this?
Believe me when I say I love you more each day
Will you come over tonight?
I really don't wanna fight
Just come over tonight
