Friday is a wild horse

Childhood living is easy to do. The things you wanted, I bought them for you. Graceless lady, you know who I am, you know I can't let you slide through my hands. Wild horses, couldn't drag me away, wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away...I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain. Now you decided to show me the same. No sweeping exits or offstage lines, can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind. Wild horses, couldn't drag me away, wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away...I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie, I have my freedom but I don't have much time. Faith has been broken, tears must be cried, let's do some living after we die. Wild Horses, couldn't drag me away, wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday. Wild horses, couldn't drag me away, wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday Andie.

Thursday makes me want to stay

We were walking just the other day. It was so hot outside, you could fry an egg. Remember you were talking, I watched as sweat ran down your face. Reached up and caught it at your chin, licked my fingertip. Wasting time. Let the hours roll by, doing nothing for the fun. Little taste of the good life, whether right or wrong, makes us want to stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile! Later on the sun began to fade, then the clouds rolled over our heads and it began to rain. Oh we were dancing, mouths open, splashing tongue taste. For a moment this good time would never end, you and me me and you. Just wasting time. I was kissing you, you were kissing me love.

Wednesday for progress

The language of the frost lobs dead balloons over ruins today in view of wan wordless crowds that chase waifs to spires with fiery plumes, and incite the firmament’s portrait of ’A Drowning in Styx’ that gives impotence kicks. Boredom murders the heart of our age while sanguinary creeps take the stage, boredom strangles the life from the printed page. Masking vapor trails from Mercury for a killer on Umbria who crippled birch mares now briar's replace their old cotton limbs. Who will tell? I mean would it make a difference? Look metal flower petal tears do not even appear in the Myopic Mirror. The moon was sagging in the sky as I held her face to mine. All our thoughts were coming in so clear beyond the Myopic Mirror, we were darting from the place where we just couldn't fit. For away from all the violence safely flying in our own orbit, why do I always have to tell you ”forget about the prescient signs!”? Forget about the life we knew, may we never be stripped of anything we love. May we grow so gentle, never go mental, may we never go go mental. May we always stay stay gentle. what was my number? 114395? I don’t care! No no no no no!

Tuesday makes a differance

Out here we don't hear anything but the clicking of the rain, against the leaves and the way each other breathes (but you've got to listen). Make this home--We've never, we never had one. Out here we turn out all the lights and sit inside looking out; And the bay's still. She's wearing the night's expression. Make this home--We've never, we never had one. We've never, we never had one. Yeah, let's stop calling this a vacation. (We're just here for two nights). Count the beats of your heart, and no city streets to break up cars. We can lie here, we are the only ones, every song plays just for us.
