AVA
where'd ya go
last night
did you ever happen to show up
after i must've passed out again
i got bad timing
if only one time though
AVA
i just wanna follow you home
and maybe someday later
i could take you on a tour of the catacombs
AVA
I want you to investigate
all my insides
with those private eyes on loan
AVA
don't wanna though
AVA
i gotta say
heaven knows that i cannot relate
i'm really showing my age
AVA
aren't you still a little young to just be sitting there in contemplation
out the window
AVA
i know they wrote you out for basic cable t.v.
why don't you be my sweet little Lolita
‘till you care enough for me?
what’s one man's treasure
is another's trashy fantasy

Ladies Night / GM

I’ve got you in my sights
Caught you up front, the stage right
I couldn’t look you in the eyes
dreaming last night
dreaming of Last Nights
and speaking of last night
I was up recalling on all of our favorite spots:
If it wasn’t the Haunt
We were at the Dock,
Checking out Lot 10
What do I got left then?
Here
Hanging out with Miss Ava and Heavy D
I got my ladies’ arms wrapped around me
Who’s the new chick?
I thought we went through this?
Isn’t that why you had to be moving back home?
I thought you said you just needed some time alone,
Now you say you’re back
didn’t have to ask
Visiting on business?
listen:
It neither is nor it isn’t
anymore it’s
gone, missing…

Will I always remember the times we had together?
Was it in Hell or was it october that I let you slip away?
Watched as two hawks fly encircled around one another we could relate
We drove back to your apartment
We said ‘goodbye’ to Everywhere
We cried
As I recall:
Weren’t we on acid or was it something I said that made you get upset before I moved away?
Aw, hey
I spend all my time thinking over
I need you closer to me these days
It’s no better being back home here
With the friendships and the families that I had here with her
I feel sadder now that I’m older
And the weather is getting warmer
I wish I could tell you that I still love you but
I don’t have your numbers anymore
..
……
…
It was chilly—
it was dark
Talking on the dock
You took your shirt off and I said, ah
I wish I could go back to that same place
Where country music bands stop to play
Like a rolling stone she’s just a shot away
I wish I could go out that same way

I am a quiet worrier
I am a wild creature
I still feel wired from the night before
The night that I met you
I could tell you were troubled
I could tell you like trouble
The real kind of trouble
The kind that makes a gentle man
Question all the worthiness
Of his situation in this life he had
We have both been here before
Is this not the same place?
Just with different pillows
different cases
different window panes
Stained with different colors—
Real bright colors
Got me distracted
My vital organs
You’ve extracted
Oh,
Pericardium!
please protect me
from all that I see
before i become
what i said
i would never
become again
i close my eyes
i take deep breath
i feel in control
i play pretend

Everybody's trying to reach me—
I'm picking up the phone,
‘hey—you’re breaking up’
Felt the brain disconnected from the body so bad
Nervous system on the fritz
To recover I'm gonna need you and those drugs I had back
Acting like it doesn't matter anyways
I want them back
I want ya back
I get low—
rumor has it that I'm coming back around
Did I let you down?
She's dancing around the apartment
not wasting anytime
she starts burning sage and lying to herself
to forget about
how i'm living now
Somewhere out in NY—not the city
The second city
they say it's up and coming—getting hip
But I don’t believe them
I see the light
I've waited a long, long time for this
I see you were right
I wanna hold you close like you're mine, all mine
We go out—
Walk in the park
skipping stones —
it appears we are lost
yellow house —
we made a little home
I do the dishes in the kitchen while she's outside making all the pretty flowers grow,
not afraid to let her tulips show
Waking up—
smells like rose
She's a peach—
she's all right and she knows that she'll always be
with or without me
I see the light
I've worried a long, long time for this
I see you were right
I could never hold you close like you're mine, all mine

Wasted time!
Tried to decide what to wear for you tonight
Ya know I like the whites
‘Only foreplaying tonight,’
That's what she said
In a Bushwick apartment I was stranded in bed—
will I start to get head?
Then the threshold for love breaks—
I should have warned you I might be still coming of age
I hope you don't mind it babe
We hibernate then come out—
This must be what the Bon Iver was talking about
Save, we're all in the wrong place
So let's check out before it's too late
We’ve still got a lot more to do for you today

I've got a feeling that I can't explain
Wouldn't you know it ?
You know exactly what it is
You have these feelings all the time
You are very good at this
Treating me like you are not mine
I am building up a wall
I'm taking my time—brick by brick
I am getting good at this
I am never getting over it
You say you can lend your hand
I love the way you always underestimate
I left you a rotten mess
Are you still a little bit left in the dark?
Are you still available
for me to be entertained
by your precious body parts?
Please don't tell me that you’ve changed!
You
are so divine!
You
are so self-realized!
I
am such a pessimist
I
am so full of shit
Haven't you had your fill
drinking from the Two of Cups ?
I fell on all Five of Swords
and I threw em up
I can't even stand up straight
I can't even head my way
I can't even say your name
Blame it on something that I ate
I can't even decide—
where do i belong?
shall I stay here,
hide?
leave here now and run away?
I can’t even
It stands to reason—
It's the same thing
I can't even
make you feel okay
like it's got anything to do with
You and I
