Write me a letter back
Pass me the bottle
please
I'm drowning
And as the night goes on,
the nightmares fade away.
And as we fade away,
the stars shine overhead:
twinkling lives we'll never lead
all staring back at us
like well-intentioned sheep
waiting for the slaughter
or our next drink
and I can't think
of a better place to be.
No, I can't think
of a better place to be.

Well, we're wasting away
like moss on dead branches
The creek has gone dry
and so have our veins
There's a mural on the wall
of the forest that surrounds us
It's our attempt at staying wild,
though we know we're all caged
Who's going to sing
for the ghost of Paul Sweet
when we're gone?
Well, the band's always playing
but not always together
The old piano's teeth
are worn and ground down
While the paint fades and peels
and the pipes rust over
the Spirit remains
orchestrating cricket serenades
But who's going to sing
for the ghost of Paul Sweet
when we're gone?

Chase the smoke
as it dances
out my mouth
and over tombstones
another
Sisyphean
day
Look up as the
world zooms out
See the paper circle
in the sky
floating behind gray smudges
left by unknown
illustrators
There's no more
reason
to be brave
But you try
and that's good enough
for me.
Our egos battle
one another
locking horns and
making love
Communication hurts
you always say
But you try
and that's good enough for me
A purple haze lifts
from my temples I
view the future through
cracked sunglasses
you
don't understand
my
translator's fritzing
there's a
questioning look in your eyes
But you try
and that's good enough for me
Yeah,
you try
and that's good enough
for me

Are you ashamed
of what you've made
or afraid
of what I've become?
My life
at your command,
Modern-day Prometheus
We angels of death
must dance
Is there meaning to all this?
We can't escape
the eyes of God,
though History
is more forgiving
Memories
outlive their meaning,
Modern-day Prometheus
