- Tibetan Pop Stars
[Intro]
How content are with ones with simple demands
They meet their fiancés cherry picking out in Canada
While cursing the river, a seven fingered man
His three sleepless wives all equally sick of him
[Verse 1]
Honey I left to see some action
- Kids on the Boardwalk
José pushed me on the swing
Explained what it was that a B.J meant
His stories were dark and deep like
His eyes your eyes so full of secrets
I guess I loved you right when
My mom said your mom's a lesbian
It's been so long I probably wouldn't know you
If I saw you again
- Look of Love
Jane Austen in the hospital
Your handwriting on the legal pad was barely legible
Waiting I wonder if I could go all the way back
Would any of it still scare me
For example the labrador down the street
Mom carried me down from off the car
Neighbor scolded I'd upset him
Every time he took off, my thoughts got dark and menacing
- No Good Al Joad
Put that chicken in your yard
Out of it's misery
Its feathers torn apart, no
Rooster can be more
Ruthless than you more
Stupid than me
I found your
- Powerful Man
Sun setting on the street
Your dad told you not to look at me
Down came the fist hard, upon your head
I was the young, the other and daughter of
I was the young, the other, the daughter of
I was 18, you were 8 maybe, you were 10
- Sally II
Two days gone. Somebody checked in on you.
That unsettling smell got into all the tenants' rooms.
You were found sitting up, all alone in the bathtub, your clothes dry.
But your brother doesn't wanna know and nobody told your caseworker you died.
Weigh-lifting magazines, your little TV set, your cigarettes...
Some ad sent you a big fake million dollar bill. You thought it was the real thing, you were gonna buy the world. How crushing in must have been to find this is not your place, this is not your time. At least you're numb to the sun crashing down upon your fifty-something hide.

See the old man?
On the bridge?
He's
hauling up a sagging net.
- Waitress
Realized I knew you from
His photo when you walked
Into the restaurant
And my heart just sunk
Your friend looked over from the bar
She must’ve known, who I was
The worst possible version of what I’d done
As, seating couples
- Well-dressed
Well-dressed, but walking
In the wrong direction
Louisiana
My disordered road always led straight back into you
Ha ha ha, goes the train
I wanted to leave but here I am again
Louisiana!
