Walkin' blue, afternoon
like a bug out on the pavement
throwing pennies in a concrete canal
on the way to an air-conditioned action double feature
walkin' blue
fresh out of school
I never met the ones who made me
I caught a cab, I had my old book bag
and the road rolled out
like brand-new stationery
I remember that room for rent
with two bipolar graduates
writing hard-boiled poetry
while a girl fixed vintage drinks
working on her phd
in postwar pornography theory
golden threads
and empty beds
paperbacks and moonbeams
some kinds of life are like invisible ink
on a banner up and down
the alleys and the sidestreets
this is a love song
for sweet routines
spiral notebooks
and crooked teeth
this is a love song
for sad cafes
ink on your fingers
and lonely days
and growing pains
and lonely days
and who cares anyway
walkin blue afternoon
like a bug out on the pavement
throwing pennies in a concrete canal
on the way to an air-conditioned
action double-feature

I'm letting joy in
I can't iive this way no more
I'm letting joy in
without her shoes
she stands ten foot four
I'm letting joy in
without it you're a half grown thing
I'm letting joy in
sometimes it's just like suffering
Let's have a pizza
let's take the long way to the park
let's have a future
I'm walking home upside down in the dark
I'm letting joy in
I'm going to the record store
I'm letting joy in
I cannot even tell you what for
can't tell you what for
I don't wanna take no guff
I just want enough
what's the point of pushing
when things get whacked out and rough
whacked out and rough
I'm letting joy in
I can't live this way no more
I'm letting joy in
my heart feels just like a record store

Sweet Sophia

There goes my baby, she drives me crazy
and I do not mean insane
I'm talking about living in the world again
and treating it just like a friend
sweet sophia
there goes my baby, our days are hazy
and they tend towards the mundane
I'm talking about moving into town again
and treating it just like a friend
sweet sophia
I pushed a mop, I pushed a broom
I spend my summer in a rented room
to my daddy it's a mystery
why that girl should get the best of me
there goes my baby, she drives crazy
and I do not mean insane
I'm talking about living in my heart again
and treating it just like a friend
sweet sophia

My banana
has an antennae
it's talking to an
international dayplanner
the holy spirit
sometimes you hear it
and nothing's missing
sometime you just listen
I don't get stuck
I just lower the bar
freaked out and lonesome
in an old blue car
I wanna party
just like Thomas Hardy
when I'm a hundred and two
will I still be in school
Pray for the Royals
I guess that I got spoiled
sometimes you win it
then you get down in it
I don't get stuck
I just lower the bar
freaked out and lonesome
in an old blue car
trying to find a decent song on the radio
by the dashboard glow
my greasy hovel
is full of novels
I clean up the kitchen
and I dance just like a chicken
if you are lonely
and you got nobody
maybe nothin's missing
that's your kind of vision
I don't get stuck
I just lower the bar
revising and surviving
in an old blue car
trying to find a decent song
on the radio
go milk a cow
