a spin around town
reservations
about reservations
for one
at the tables
and a hundred
pressed against the bars

youre the only one there
locked in a bubble
avoiding small talk
passing the double
just water for drink
as you plot coarse
dropping it down
with a little more force


"this one goes out to the holy spirit you are making sacrifices to as sweat falls into your drinks"

the goodbye girls
that you will never forget
all come running
to say their special goodbyes
that you will never forget
a memory that never leaves
the eyes and the mouth
and every sweaty curve
they promise to miss you
after you are gone
but they will be gone
and miss your return
the goodbye girls
belong to no one
and the world large
always wanting to hear
you stories about your travels
in letters they will never open
all of their worst mistakes
left town years ago
the goodbye girls
know the best travelers hives
with their daughters of soldiers salesmen
captains of ships and industry
with sons of famous singers
in bands they have never heard of
and choose not to recall
the goodbye girls
will never meet you family
or try to settle you down
but they are good for the night
when your hello girls
are tending the kids

stick and stones
will build new homes
but idle words
will never shelter me

can i offer you some coffee
or would you prefer tea
we can chew the fat
of these things haunting me
sit and stare and listen
as emotions run free

i offer you my heart
its open for discussion
i offer you my soul
with shockwave and percussion

can we make a plan
to set things right
run away to better things
so we can sleep at night
enjoy a few good moments
and forget to fight

i offer you my heart
its open for discussion
i offer you my soul
with shock wave and percussion

maybe when we are done
you can help me on my way
these things that never leave
from places i could not stay
if you will be so kind
i might make it another day

with nothing left to hold on to

i am looking for a spike
that ties it all together
i am looking for bricks
in a buried sidewalk
i am looking for flowers
that bloom elsewhere
i am looking for a room
in a house i have never seen
i am looking for a cellar
where pumpkins grow
i am looking for fruit
from a rotting tree
i am looking for a well
with tainted water
i am looking for wood
to make a welcome sign
i am looking for a recipe
for the perfect cobbler
i am looking for a train
with 3 am break squeal
i am looking to count cars
by the number of impacts
i am looking for gravel
on a dead end road
and to that end
i am looking for a fite
