Your airbox is a consolation prize I want love or to say or to say this: You don’t know who I am How can you make a box for me? Nail me down in that box And that box will be your souvenir
You know who I am Can you make a box for me? Starve yourself of yourself because It’s all well, we’ll recycle each other
The edge has been taken off your airbox So am I soothed? Look for me and someday maybe Somewhere I’ll find you
ANDREW ANDREW
Will you comfort me? Will you take me in like a refugee? A little time with me? Even if I change my name?
Andrew Andrew will you comfort me? Will you take me in like a refugee? A little time for me? Standing on the corner like a refugee? I know
Spend a little time with me? Even if I change my name? Will you take me away from me? Anytime I change my name? Do you know?
BLUEBLACK
I went out and without and I’m glad and I’m glad The summer when I put on my black jeans I realized there are things that said I love you This time though not everyone can see that I’ve fallen Not everyone can see me
I give you all I have and all that goes with this I just want to know you’re there Sing to me as I light your cigarettes It would be better if I didn’t sing to you Our friendship is this
But anyone can see that I’ve fallen I just want to know you Sing to me as I light your cigarettes
DETECTORS IN THE EYES
I, a lot of this, can I get to you? Doubt that now, for what I, I've been through Why worry, brace to feel a jab You know I know that man He sunk our feelings in front of all
Jose and I, both looked lie detectors in the eyes
THE GIVEAWAY [Lyrics by JOHN MAYER]
I keep a note that I wrote On a taxi receipt It says don’t listen to anybody other than me I hit the big time for a nominal fee
You lose a friend in the end For every dream that you see come true
I’ve got scars upon scrapes I've got bruises on breaks Masochistically committed to see How much of this I’ll take
Three years underwater And I ain’t even got the shakes I’m going deeper and deeper and deeper
I’ve got dreams to remember And I’ve got days to forget I've got some phone calls into G-d But he ain't called me back just yet
KIM DREAMING
Underwater, looking for my little book You wanted it i gave it to you in the other room Next to Marni, there's a sign: $32 to sleep with you in the other room
Seems like I'm on my way to the future I was deep inside myself when you saw me in my bedroom you looked at me and said, "aww…"
Friday afternoons in elementary school I used to take one long last look at you a final snapshot to get me through till Monday when i would see you again and i could get to be around you
Next to Marni, I see a sign $32 to sleep with you in the other room
I'm Kim dreaming - dreaming about you Seems like I'm on my way to the future I was deep inside myself when you saw me in my bedroom you looked at me and said, "aww…" You always seemed like Jodie Foster to me
When you saw at the museum You looked at me
MOON'S REFLECTION
For a half-breath I belonged to myself Then I saw you and your jacket I couldn't stop from following you across the square I acted so surprised to see you when you noticed me
Planning my body through sound, space and time I was somewhere that I could see you If I came up with something good to say It was like I never spoke at all And you're the one who complains about reassurance
I was the same as you Your reliance spoke to me I'd go looking for myself I know I should have stopped But the screams and whispers told me nothing
Planning my body through sound, space and time I was somewhere that I could see you I was always somewhere that I could see you
You drove me down to the water Where I drank the moon's reflection
I'm turning the wording over to the invisible flute player Let her finish the story of my invisible days
QUIET KISSING
Kiss the wall you blind girl and then me It's easy to slide Kiss the wall you blind girl and then me Quiet this time
You've been drawing lines On your nose, knees and thighs On a bench against the gallery wall When is your moose invasion?
Flesh and your lips on my blanket Birthmarks on your thighs
Rather see you fallen not much more to say
You blind girl You're not a mover or shaker but this is all you
RICHARD SERRA
The big book that tells me made me like you right away Monumental pieces by yourself Like the beauty that the rust creates On your curved scarred steel
And I rubbed it and I scratched it and I stained my hand and I stained your art
A haunting scar remains in the floor Like the small pink curved one that I got When I slipped while climbing up my fire escape
Steel wishing it would fall You probably know how far my mind had fallen
You sixty-year-olds All have faces on heads controlling hands Looking like they carried their own equipment A long time ago And is that long time ago now me?
