Drowning in a Helicopter

Drowning in a helicopter
Because you heard the world would end
This was before email or cell phones
And you were trying to tell a friend
Drowning in a helicopter
Wond'ring if it was true
Having no way of knowing
Before the end of you

Halfway to Boiling

Fear the sun
Hate the air
Out of doors
What creature dare?
Asphalt shifting
Semen sauna stench
Suffer the swelter
Halfway to boiling

Now that our lives
Have run their courses
A pair of marriages
A few divorces
Our personas
Long long gone
Unmasked, boring
Boring enough to sing this song
If you’re on your own
Feeling low lonesome
If you want a home
We could own one
We could have a dog
We could have a cat
We could have a bird
In our habitat
Go in circles
Gradually tightening
Sit on the porch and
Watch our hair whitening
And spend all the
Rest of our days
Watching sunsets in
Ambler, PA
Our pretensions
long expired
Both tired
And retired
Quit the city
Covered in litter
I won’t try to acquit me
Of being a quitter
If we want to feel
Mutually accepted
If we want to feel
Mutually selected
If we want to feel
Co-validated
A little less alone
As we deteriorate, kid
Got some flotsam
And some jetsam
If you want some
I could lend some
Hole up two steps
Out of the way
In a little house
In Ambler, PA
Now that we see
What we’ve done with our lives
And what our lives
Have done with us
Hole up two steps
Out of the way
Share a little house
In Ambler, PA
Spend the rest of
Last of our days
Watching the sun set in
Ambler, PA

What Was There
01:15

What was there, within reach, in front of us,
Is what we lived. Please don’t judge us
The time, the place, the circumstance
The circles in which we ran. Please don’t judge us
We loved these things, the only things we knew
If not these things, what things would we do?
We love these things, the only things we know
If not these things, whereto would our love go?
What was there, within reach, in front of us,
Is what we lived. Please don’t judge us
The time, the place, the circumstance
The circles in which we ran. Please don’t judge us
