Golden Ops 02:43
The doldrums grind. The drones all follow single mindedly. Lost in these depths alone, craving light. Just one more night, could be the death of you. It’s within your power. Lo the golden hour. Shun the crowd who would hesitate. It’s a daunting climb but no better time, Nothing binding your fate. Who knows their plans? The granite cold in greedy hands. Now tombstones are obsolete, working stiffs. Just one more shift, could be the death of you.

Matinee 02:05
Fearless as a new born pup Urging everyone to get messed up Finding random fools to fill your cup For the personal riot Then you go acting out in Sailor’s Park Thinking no one sees you in the dark Well they can, what’s more, they’re taking notes Of all the missteps This could be your matinee Waking from a stranger’s bed Police siren ringing in your head Guess it’s better than being left for dead In the pit of the district Rigid as a Maltese cross Yet another day that has been lost Dodging street lamps you know by heart As they show indifference This could be your matinee

Patient 03:51
I’ve been staring at the red sunlight I’ve been begging them to make things right And now I have to wait I’ve been eating through this tube for weeks I’ve been greeting them with sunken cheeks And still I have to wait At least I’ve got the people I care about I’ve been taking every pill they bring I’ve been wondering if I’ll ever sing again Oh it’s a dreadful wait I’ve been pining for an hour’s sleep I’ve been rationing my sanity I guess I’ll have to wait At least I’ve got the people I care about

Not Jamaican 02:16

The walls of health came tumbling down Something no one should see Three machines stand wheezing now Pumping life into me As I lie there still but not peacefully Breathe in deep, that’s infinity The walls of health came tumbling down Something no one should see Any pageant could be the last That's why I’m always looking my best Three piece suit with matching hat Survivor pin on my chest As I stand here still but not peacefully Breathe in deep, that’s infinity Remember any pageant could be the last That's why I’m always looking my best

No Frills 03:05
I thought I had died, surfing out the tragic years I’d hit the dregs when the yacht appeared Some visions come too soon But I could tell that you were right on time I see your pops in a white top black brimmed hat And his new wife on the lounge in back The parents won’t agree But I know you are just my kind That’s quite an entrance there So prim and proper at the gate But inside is the modest heiress No frills, no shiny decorations We walked the shore till the moon picked up our scent And joked a bit when we reached my tent But you still slipped inside And I knew that you were just my kind That’s quite an entrance there So prim and proper at the gate But inside is the modest heiress No frills, no shiny decorations
