Long Time Gone
I’m a man who walked the world,
Walked the world in search of home,
I’m a man.
I had a girl, she walked away,
Walked away because she can,
I was her man.
Been a long time gone;
Look for love cannot be found;
In a day I will go
Back to Brooklyn, girl.
In this world you have to be a fool
to look for love, for what it’s worth,
I am a fool.
And in this world, you have to work,
Work until your bones are broken down;
What a world
Been a long time gone;
Look for love, cannot be found;
In a day I will go
Back to Brookline, girl.
Been a long time gone
Look for love, cannot be found
In a day I will go
Back to Brooklyn, girl.
I had a girl, she walked away,
Walked away because she can;
I was her man.
I had a girl, she walked away,
Walked away because she can;
I was her man.
Scene Machine
He’s a scene machine;
He’s a branded queen.
Can’t get the staff
To stay on task.
Just say the word,
Thy will be done;
On Earth
as it is in Leather.
A gallery, an opening,
A concert hall, the new book club;
I don’t want to die,
I want to live forever
And set the people free;
In a moment child,
Freedom is a feeling,
And love is like a thought.
It’s 1910, once again;
With cameras in our suitcase, man.
Go document it and call it art –
We went to save the Lexican.
A gallery, an opening,
A concert hall, the new book club;
I don’t want to die,
I want to live forever
And set the people free;
In a moment child,
Freedom is a feeling,
And love is like a thought.
Die young, oh die young;
You can live forever
Thinking you’re the scene machine.
Die young, oh die young;
You can live forever
Thinking you’re the scene machine.
Safety First
Sorrow for the sunlight man,
He always walks around the same.
Pour my coffee bitter man,
Subtle are the art remains.
Here I am, that’s all of me,
My blood my brain like river floods;
Some of us have more than love,
Some put safety first.
Dinner with the family;
Jack and Jill went up my sleeve.
Ordinary’s just my view,
Overdrawn below the law.
Here I am, that’s all of me,
My blood my brain like river floods;
Some of us put layers on,
Some put safety first.
Posters of the football gods;
Posters of the poster sluts.
Shadows on the open road
In the cartoon universe.
Here I am, that’s all of me,
My blood my brain like river floods;
Some of wear hearts on sleeves,
Some put safety first.
Here I am, that’s all of me,
My blood my brain like river floods;
All of you are acting strange,
Some put safety first.
