I don't really know
How it came along
I was just born curious
For all that I've hurt
I only meant well
I don't want to dwell on it
Everything you've got
I'll suffer it all
Every little pump of your pulse
I'm curious
I'll suffer it all
Except your coming on
I'm hoping that you want something more
Shake me upside down
Shake all the odd socks out
Shake all the odd socks
All the odd socks out
Show me where normal is
Show us where we're supposed to sit
I'm curious to know how far off I don't fit
I got this thirst
I got this thirst
An endless thirst
I'm curious
It comes out wrong
It comes out wrong
I go home thinking
I should have kept my mouth shut

I'll have the usual thing today honey
I'll have the usual thing
Corn fritter stack and pick me up coffee
I'll have the usual thing
Lemon water, orders on the way
You'll have on your usual thing
That's why I never take away
All of the usual folk are out working
All of the usual folk
They're sitting in meetings, tedious meetings
Hours before we're awoke
I spy through one half-open eye
Your pretty sunburned freckle face and smile
You better lock me out of the house
Or I'll get one thing on my mind
What do you make of all of this, sister?
Up most the night awake
You give to your canvas food for our senses
What are you going to paint?
The truth, she said, hopefully the truth
The ugly, bloody, life-affirming truth
Hope yours is even half as good
Happy birthday.

Girl from the ice
Day dark as night
Pictures on her bedroom wall
Longs for a place
Two worlds away
Where all the dreamers wash ashore
Where it isn't so cold
She moved here only for the sunshine
But damn did she ever move me with her own
She led me outside in the daylight
For the first time
Girl from the ice
Easy on the eyes
But baby ain't she hard to please
Don't need diamonds, no such fine things
Only salty breeze
And maybe lucky me
Now it isn't so cold

Love lost
How is the memory to you?
Does it wake you at night?
Does it soak your bed through?
Me? No? I’m doing marvellously well
There’s always a story to tell
And nothing cuts through like those tales of
A love lost on you
Love lost
Where is the tear in your eye?
Is it not welling up like well maybe its welling in mine?
Me? No? You’ll never again see me cry
A mishap you’ll only see once
For you only once, its been done, its been done
I don’t forget you
Love lost
I’ll be your forever friend
I’ll drink with your husband
I’ll tend to your hand
Me? No? I am the rock, I’m the rock
It got in my throat and it stuck
But you’ll never know
You’ll just think it an awful strong cough
I don’t forget you
Love lost
How is the memory to you?
Does it wake you at night?
Does it soak your bed through?

Bruises smart your restless heart
You give and you give
Its not much to ask
This season its thick
Its thick in the air
They're out there in parks
All legs and arms
And fingers and hair
They come to you
These suitors sometimes
But after so many blows
You've developed a nose
For when something's not right
Only you'll know
More than a guess
From the taste on your tongue
The lump in your throat
The thump in your chest
Your great love is well overdue to you.
