Love(')s Rich Contenders

cellophane kisses
a plaster of paris gaze
i wish i could phantasize
in more than two dimensions oh please
i wish i could talk in technicolor
cinerama splitscreen
cuz i know that love is pure
and i know that love is wild
how can you be pure and wild
she walks with a purpose
concerned with a better life
she loves so intensely but is love enough
or does she want more from me
and i know that love is bold
and i know that love is tender
how can you be bold and tender
how can you be one of loves rich contenders

A Suburban Romance

she kept the house and the kids and the car
he kept his bong and his acoustic guitar
it's really no big deal you'll hear em say
they never really got along anyway
it was just a suburban romance
like something out of a billy joel song
say whatchu want about townie lovers
they really thought they could shake it
they really thought they could shake it, shake it
now she's stressed and overworked and depressed
now he's checking in with all the hoodrats he was so sad to have missed
first time he missed a weekend
she nearly put her fist thru the wall
second time she didn't even bother to call
it's all the same
what would he teach them
just that love is easier for those who leave
it was just a suburban romance
neighborhood kids who looked so cute together
say what you want about the well-wishers
we really thought they could shake it
we really thought they could shake it
it all seemed such a matter of course, of course
children at your feet, how can you call this life complete?

we stick up for each other
you're my sister i'm your brother
no tomorrow and no yesterday
our plans are destined for dismay
each and every moment passes
wishing we could take it back
we keep talking we grow old
just to retell all the tales we told
keep time
we gotta keep time
on a fishing line
it's what we gotta do to get by
holding out for greener pastures
underfoot we feel the grass
what little strategy we know
was written many many moons ago
failing upwards falling back
on practical matters of fact
our dreams were only fictions
forged when we were young and idealistic
...
this time
this time
better do better than we did those other times
it's just what we gotta do to get by

I Heard You Settled Down
00:52

i heard you settled down
i heard you fit in nice and pretty
with the others on the block
or something like that
i hear your guard is down
i hear the roses in your retinas
are too red to be true
oh but tell me how you're feeling
now you've hammered in those stakes
you never gave me any credit
so just let that marinate
oh i'm aware it's all just folderol and pink confetti
now that you are moving on
i bet he digs for common ground
i bet he digs to follow you around
but darling for how long
i wish you more where he came from

Daisy

nobody's really that amazing daisy
you gotta keep your head on straight
nobody's really all that great
'cept for maybe you and maybe me
alright i'll put a sock in it
close the curtains i can see you from the streetlight
your silhouette is dancing
you were too much
flattery will make you lazy daisy
you gotta keep your ears shut tight
great as you look in certain light
oh there i got again
don't you miss these smarts comments
little things can waste a lot of energy
sound like anyone you know
you are too much
here i was hoping love would bail us out
