last night it snowed
powdered sugar cedars lined the road they looked good enough to eat but i don't think i would i can't imagine that they'd taste too good a blanket white at least it was when it came down last night the morning brings the rain the blanket's washed away now everything turns back to grey and now you're there the rain is falling, wetting down your hair i hate to be the one to say i told you so but i believe i might have told you so so live and learn the snow is melting, never to return cross your t's and dot your i's and write "the end," maybe someday it'll snow again last night it snowed |

poor old john carradine
before he met his maker he got to play a part that stands the test of time shouting he held aloft the miracle elixir the townspeople ran him off and the sunlight took his eyes if you ever gave a damn for Sunny Jim i'm sure you must remember him fresh out of paper plates guess i'll do the dishes instead of washing off only one plate at a time big evening up ahead wide array of choices bladerunner, robocop, or the bride of frankenstein if you ever gave a damn for Sunny Jim i'm sure you must remember him dead soldiers line the road along the coffee table bladerunner's at the part where Rutger Hauer dies i don't know anything why do i pretend to if i did i'd be the one who's living with you now if you ever gave a damn for Sunny Jim i'm sure you must remember him |

when the moment finally comes
i could be the trigger you could be the gun that blows out the back of my skull when a better day arrives i could be the winner you could be the prize that i can't pretend to have won twilight is falling the locusts are calling your name when the devil's on the prowl i can be the mortar you can be the trowel we could patch up the cracks in our hearts twilight is falling the locusts are calling your name |

hang dog you sitting and counting nameless stars
and when you look down you're beginning to fall away you dried up like an august creekbed i mounted in an album with some photos of your summer friends i can't tell what the note on the back said you're moving like a poem and it hurts to see you going i recall the smell of summer on your skin we were seventeen and everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop it's hard to put to words what i was thinking then i don't know, we were alive or something browned off sitting amidst the endless cars and when you stall out they're beginning to pull away you dried up like an august creekbed i mounted in an album with some photos of your summer friends i can't tell what the note on the back said you're moving like a poem and it hurts to see you going i remember licking ice cream off your chin we were seventeen and everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop it's hard to put to words what i was thinking then i don't know, we were in love or something i recall the smell of summer on your skin we were seventeen and everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop it's hard to put to words what i was thinking then i don't know, we were alive or something |

we were burning leaded gasoline
rather fight than switch found a stack of dirty magazines hidden in the ditch making fun of nearly everything that lined up in our sights i remember you used to come around you came around, you'd come around you came around, you came around fire in the hole pop the clutch and holler rabbits feet roll the windows down take a drink to find the strength you need then pass the bottle 'round i remember we used to ride around we rode around, we'd ride around we rode around, we rode around fire in the hole |

when hope is gone
we drag the pond and try to look beyond the dead end of summer there's a haze hanging over the town so hide your eyes ignore the flies and try to act surprised it's the dead end of summer when all of the grass has gone brown oh, i've been x'ing out calendar days there's a pattern to our time apart do i still exist in the bottomless pit of your heart thrown or fell it's hard to tell the baby's in the well at the dead end of summer you better prime the divining rod we'll drink unitl we drink our fill there's all this time to kill at the dead end of summer with the bugs singing louder than god |

from a feather he fixed with a bobby pin that's a small price to pay for the privilege of being the indian he said i'll be your friend if you give me a dollar a day in the picture she posed on the car hood in lipstick and underpants the very same evening that she was crowned queen of the harvest dance she said i'll make you king if you give me a dollar a day lonesome sinner lonesome saint make me a winner or is it too late in the bright light she looks like a girl you remember from summer camp who reached through your rib cage and tore out your heart with a postage stamp she said i was your girl when you gave me a dollar a day |
