lyrics

it’s neither i nor you
just this time
nothing left to say
it’s gonna be okay my baby

nothing you do wrong
will last for too long
you’re gonna make that lonely lady
smile
& she’s gonna forget for a little while

you & i & her
just this time
nothing left to say
it’s gonna be okay my baby

‘cause you’ve got strength for
all the weaknesses that flair
& i’ll help you till the moment when you’re
just being there

this is why it falls
this is what the doomed mirror chord meant
when the moment calls
just take up that tore up mangled thing all rent
mangled thing

it’s neither i nor you nor them
it’s just this time
nothing left to say
it’s gonna be okay my baby

my lemongrass sonoma pear
pixie w/ the crazy stare
no lipstick ladybug
good-for-way-too-much thug

my gas station blue jean itch
my laughin’ loud jazz hands kitsch
silent by the seaside sue
singin’ am i blue am i blue

rockin’ to the beat & to the sobs
hard workin’ all shift jobs
tatter tots of two & six
rubbin’ bones w/ stones & sticks

my bob dylan ghost town pack
my jacques derrida smokestack
my yoko ono tree limb swing
my baby lovin’ thingly thing

fire up those callused shoes
shipwreck the flags & clues
hold yourself close & tight
this time w/ all your might


it’s neither i nor you
just this time
