Future Trunks

Super Saiyan
Sword a'slaying
Pretty blond to blue
And I'm weightless, happy, brainless
Rewinding afternoon cartoons
Could I be all that I am to you?
Am I out there waiting somewhere in the future, Trunks?
My future Trunks
On a capsule
Out of orbit
Through a wormhole
All the same, renewed
Like a secret in my pocket
One I swear that I will tell him soon
Could I be all that I am to you?
Am I out there somewhere waiting in the future?
Whoever you are

The Wave
02:44
|
|||
|
Surfing wipeout hundred something
An endless March
The wave is as high as the wall
But we're up all night dancing at the tipsy disco
Pour a drink out to another year on your own
Up all night dancing at the tipsy disco
I'm getting good at going with the flow
Boardwalk roundabout
Kissed the edge of the world
Crossing stars fall forgotten in the pall
Feeling nothing still means something
An endless March
The wave is a thousand miles tall
But we're up all night dancing at the tipsy disco
Roll a fat one, another year all alone
Up all night dancing at the tipsy disco
I'm getting good at going with the flow
Cowabunga!
I am hanging on by a thread
But we're up all night dancing at the tipsy disco
Pour a drink out to another year on your own
Up all night dancing at the tipsy disco
I'm getting good at going with the flow
(All the waves that could take my heart away
All the ways I would give my heart away)

Infrared
03:48
|

I tasted blood in my Sunday best
And knelt before his naked chest
A little ragged 'round the edges
I admit I was unbalanced
High on the fear I'd never really matter to you
Like every other car in Anaheim
I'm running on some borrowed time
All my sharp and rusted edges
Out of broken bones I rebuilt a spine
Of something steel
Come rest your tired and weary head
Breathe with blue sky
Bleeding out the rain that never fell
If you're ever in a chapel
I'd recommend forgetting why
All its ornamental edges hide
The generations crucified to the fear
Come rest your tired and weary head
Breathe in blue sky
Silent wildfires infrared
I have killed ten summers pulling weeds
I could kill the ones who sewed the seeds
There's a blackened bile unburied
A cock crows three in the canopy
But my soul's on fire and circling Neptune
Have some faith, you'll reach me soon

Foggy
02:27
|
|||
|
Snow kissed does in foggy weather
White tails break fields of heather
So free without the tether
Like sparks over the ember
Two deer in deep December
More free than I remember
Pawprints pointing up the river
Trailing off into the blizzard
(All that smoke got frozen high)
You're free to follow hither
So free without the tether
(In cold it came to me)
More free than I remember
(All that smoke)
You're free to follow hither
(Got frozen high)

Julia
04:23
|

|
Out of the treetops
I swung off a vine
Into the ocean
Swollen swallowing coastline
Up in the lighthouse
In the hazy marine
I saw a girl there
As blue as the sea
Let go your hair, love
Let the water fall down
At least spring from this haunted place
To never be found
But if I had my druthers
And if I had a clue
I'd have already asked you
Julia
Can we go to the movies, girl?
Colors off the wall heal the wounds
Down in the depths
Where the moonwater's pale
She danced with the coral
The girl with a tail
I can keep secrets
I have a few
I could live all nine lives
And begin anew
For the chase of you, Julia
Every sunset, a view
From another horizon
Hello and adieu
Julia
Can we go to the movies, girl?
Colors off the wall heal the wounds
We can paint empty rooms
With our own moody blues
Oh Julia
We'll find that groove

Green Lungs
03:36
|
|||
|
Soft kiss
Burnt lips
The vagrant's fragrance
In a fine mist
The gumdrop drips
A waxing candle
Blown out with a hiss
The keef and crystal
The keys deep and buried away
I got carried away
Spun out over the Pacific Palisades
Near miss
A coddled prince
On a white throne of riches
One tight fist
Never gave two shits
Now he's flying off the handle
Flushed down with the piss
The keef and crystal
Please don't you take it away
Did I scare you away?
My Mercury's in retrograde
Have my green lungs gone grey?
I got carried away!

California Beautiful
02:21
|
|||
|
California beautiful
California beautiful
Golden ever young
Kissed by summer sun
California beautiful
Could I ever be
California beautiful?
Nonchalant and dumb
Thoughts like bubblegum
Adored for sure
Up the holly hills
Around the Chemosphere estate
Driving fast above the fog
The hour is getting late
If I don't watch the road, my love
This might become my fate
California beautiful
California beautiful
A broken smile numbed
One by lonely one
Ignored and stoked for more

Enough Without
02:45
|
|||
|
Fell down and stayed down
Faith tore my wedding gown
Havishammed and torn
Cut through it with the shears
She sharpened in the garden
If I could make her April mine
I will survive
Well enough without
Without you
May turns to summer
Forgot the fall from September on
And all the masks I'd sewn
Cut through 'em with the shears
She sharpened in the garden
I've seen her April through my eyes
I will survive
Well enough without
Without you

I wanted you desperately
I wanted you desperately
Desperately
I wanted you desperately
Desperately
I wanted you desperately
Desperately
Desperately
I wanted you desperately
Desperately
I wanted you desperately
Desperately
I wanted you desperately
Desperately
Desperately

A Sybil Never Sleeps
04:34
|
|||
|
Did you get my letter?
I wrote it out in pen
Did I love you better than the others?
I still have your sweater
I wear it now and then
Did I love you better?
I mistake my sorrow
With nostalgia and regret
Alternate tomorrows play like old cassettes
On the 405
Too stupid high
Off fumes and vibes
We were off by half a beat
Looking for release
Off by half a beat
Looking for release
Far beyond the Salton Sea
A sybil never sleeps
She's a storm in summer
She's a haunted memory
Off by half a beat
Looking for release

Long Beach
03:59
|

|
How many years has it been?
My love, I mean, well now we're friends
Walking the long beach
We've seen every wave mountain high
I melted for you like the cotton candy clouds in the sky
Above the long beach
When I (why'd you) set sail Pacific blue
You faded out of the rearview
You fell out of my reach
But falling in love is laughing at fear
Funny how nothing changes after all these years
Still the same long, long beach
Hop on a wave
To a parallel time
There's one where all of your sunsets are mine
It's a long beach
It's a long beach
It's our long, long
