rock-stars we make a stand

we once jammed
we once rocked it 'till the AM with AM hits
and the gunslingers
they were rock-singers
making their stands in stadiums

management meets with the aflcio
outlaws flee all across this land
truckers speak to the CB radio
and rockstars we make a stand

a stand for freedom, a stand for cacophony, a stand for guitar amplifiers and excess and sexuality
and a stand for a heightened sense of personal irresponsibility
a stand in the land of the free

management meets with the aflcio
outlaws flee all across this land
truckers speak to the CB radio
and rockstars we make a stand

we once jammed
we once rocked it 'till the AM with AM hits
and the gunslingers
they were rock-singers
making their stands in stadiums

You're worrying again
The windmill in your head
Keeps turning, turning round
The whirring's getting loud, oh

Is there something you can do
To affect what's plaguing you?
If you have to answer "no"
Then Buddha says

"Let go, let go,
Just enjoy the moment, before it's gone."

You're worrying again
And so I have a question:

Is there something you can do
To affect what's plaguing you?
If you have to answer "yes"
Then Buddha says

"Let's go get down to business
Let's go get this work done
For when our work is over
We can focus our minds on fun."

The pilgrim student
Packed her bags
And left
The new world for the old

In search of roguish adventure
And a scholarly equal to gold

And she sing!

Will anybody miss me or care that I'm not there?
I shall return in one year's time better for the wear

Auf nach Deutschland
übers Meer
She boarded a ship and waved Goodbye
Landed in Brugge in three weeks time
Where sat waiting a horse for her to ride

and she sings!

Will anybody miss me or care that I'm not there?
I shall return in one year's time better for the wear

Each library in Germany did she seek
Upon her mighty steed
But she could not cross Moselle, Main or Rhine
Without queuing for ID

And she sings!

Will anybody miss me or care that I'm not there
I shall return in one year's time better for the wear

Noch einmal!

Will anybody miss me or care that I'm not there
I shall return in one year's time from this bureaucratic nightmare!

my one life
my how wide the hudson
my one son, philip, how i loved him
and my how heavy the pistol that killed him

and you my opponent
i stand before in virtue
i won't hurt you
i offer my life, my liver, to your pistol
and your powder
i'm martyred for my country

my country tis of thee
sweet meritocracy
my god i'm in pain
land where my son died
land where i gave my life
just put me on the money supply
and let freedom reign

my nature adores a vacuum

my nature adores a vacuum
words and music by D. E. Healy, block-bottom remix by t. w. tendrils



we have shelves
we stock ourselves
with the things we like to eat
with ingred-
ients we need
to call our recipes complete

a tea tin
a mason jar
a quarter cup
a cork
a soup can
a mixing bowl
a fork

rows and stacks
and in the cracks
in the spaces in between
secret spice-
s grains of rice
inscribed with name and date and scene

a tea tin
a mason jar
a quarter cup
a cork
a soup can
a mixing bowl
a fork

oh it spills
and runs together
oh i can't
remember whether
i need love
how much love i had
left over
whether it's gone bad

thrown together
from stained instructions
i'm a mess of vessels
and strange concoctions
thrown together
from stained instructions

a tea tin
a mason jar
a quarter cup
a cork
a soup can
a mixing bowl
a fork

2) [redacted]
4) The love-child of Ben Gibbard (circa 2000) and Tom Waits (circa 1980), in that strange time between the awkwardness of teenage-hood and the confidence of manhood.
5) The unruly crowd anxious for the headlining act (and you're not it).
6) How do you measure the invisible workings of the human mind?
AND/OR
How do synapses, the empty spaces between cells, store our secrets, store our selves, our connections to others?
7) My nature adores a vacuum [please don't feel obligated to use this as the title]

Nighttime
Time to lay our heads down again
I've lived through so few moons
1 or 2 compared to you
My loves
My loves

Daytime comes at the start of the day
And is followed by the night
I will grow older and so will you
But together we'll be all right
Together we'll be all right

Nighttime
Good Nighttime

I will ask you many things
Once I learn to talk
Like why must I take a bath or do math
Or take the dog for a walk
Or take the dog for a walk

Nighttime cannot come before day
And brown hair cannot come after gray
But all our lives we'll be able to say
That we are family
Mom, Dad, Nate and me

Nighttime
Good Nighttime

I can't wait to get older and see
What this world is all about
Now we are 4 where before you were 3
And I'm lucky to live no doubt
I'm lucky to live no doubt

Nighttime cannot come before day
And brown hair cannot come after gray
But all our lives we'll be able to say
That we are family
Mom, Dad, Nate and me
Mom, Dad, Nate and me

Nighttime
Time to lay our heads down again

men love their mrs
men love their pals
men love the kisses
they kiss on their gals

gals who are strapping
gals who are strong
gals who are laughing
and loafing along

gals love their movies
they love movie stars
they love ryan gosling
and ryan's loves are

zombies with brains
zombies with none
zombies undead
and chasing someone

zombies as metaphor
zombies as kitsch
zombies as spectacle
and escape from what is
