Music For Peasants

person in isolation
finds humor where there was none
alienated person
can laugh at anything
people, they have morals
so thin you can see through
forces they’ve been forming
to get me out of bedroom
once again
peasant life completely
filled with dissatisfaction
peasant does an action
peasant feels less alone
here’s a pretty picture
i spent a year working on
i’m a peasant working
i’m a peasant laughing
ha ha ha

Pervert Today

there’s a hole in my brain
but lucky for me
its not getting any bigger
its not getting any bigger
sophisticated but cheap
a piano with no keys
a gun with no trigger
a gun with no trigger
i’m a pervert today
and i can’t stop complaining
i feel right when i’m wrong
i feel right when i’m wrong
i’ll throw my computer away
my cell phone and keys
but i’ll keep my dress shoes on
i’ll keep my dress shoes on

Sofia, Baby Please

i moved the thing
which was obscuring the tv screen
and then i could see kirsten clearly
while she undressed there for me
i moved around
there were no cars and no people out
i stared at the ground
covered my mouth when i smiled
sofia coppola
please put me in your movies
i’d like to leave ohio
your camera lights look soothing
let me in
today i wrote down
every bad thing i thought about
and then i read it aloud
the words made a pleasing sound
underneath the flood lights
i wasn’t feeling right
two thousand seven, eight, nine
still after that for a while
sofia coppola
i’m good for the money
when this recession is over
i’ll come and work for you
let me in

I Love The Avant Garde

i love the avant garde
i’ve been sitting in my yard
you can’t see the forest for the trees
if you don’t get out of your apartment
far away
in 2075
we’ll both have computers for eyes
will yours still stare into mine?
will they be grey like the metal in the sky?
or blue, like the distance in the sea?
the distance from you to me
distance,
all i see
no more please!
i love the avant garde
nobody listens to our albums
i think i’ll put down my guitar
and bang on my stomach until i fall down
