02.Abused by the Moon

lyrics

Where’s your heart center? I never thought I saw it either

I thought I touched it, but it was just wrapped in plastic

Well kick some dirt over it, bury this rock in your chest

It’s warped like dry cleaned elastic

Have awful thoughts pop out at you,

Like fake clouds in late night cartoons,

Have you been abused by the moon? Well baby I have to

It’s cold and empty, dry and large, so sad I can barely stand it

Dreams of electric heaters beat your head against the bathroom mirror

Fall down train steps; fantasize about tricycle rides in Italy,

The late night drive back from Denver,

Have you been abused by the moon?

How have you been?

And I just can’t find a reason why?

It sits so heavy like the weight of a tire

That escaped a car crash

That crushes the nearest passerby stranger

Like a led gown on my chest good rest is out of reach

It has been for weeks, no wait months the last twenty two years

A diet of cigarettes, caffeine and cough drops

Cold sandwiches, late night rage fights with no one there but myself
