Tar Beach
the heat is killing me
so we’ll go up to our tar beach
on the roof
there’s no water & there’s no sand
but I read a book and we can pretend
and it will do me
and we’re getting away with it
if only for a little bit
you’re close to my heart....
c’mon c’mon c’mon
the summer’s nearly gone
and I declare: we’ve done less than nothing
the days are long
the nights are gone
and I can’t tell between them
I push you back against the fridge
I can taste it on your lips
you’re close to my heart....
the heat is killing me
so we’ll go up to our tar beach
on the roof
there’s no water, and I’ve never seen the sand
but I read a book and think we can pretend
and it will do me
beneath a sun that never sets
chasing all we’ll never catch
you’re close to my heart....
you’re getting close to my heart. - Track Name: I Remember Crescent City

I Remember Crescent City
A long white bridge, over and back again
talking to God and the heat's turned off
and it’s been like that for days
and all we can do is wait
a vacant lot and my voice is shot
from screaming at the world at the top of my lungs
it’s like a bomb went off in this place
and all I can do is wait…
waking up it was a strange bed
a priest was holding my hand
I raised my drink and collapsed at your feet
you said you weren’t, but I know
that you were ashamed,
you were ashamed
an somebody left then somebody came
at the end of it all it’s always
something else again
always something else again
remember staring into your face
it could have been for 5 days
I remember Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…
Say a prayer for Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…
and my footsteps fall on secrets
and no one will believe them
I remember Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…
Say a prayer for Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…
There’s a long white bridge over and back again
God won’t talk and someone’s jumped off
and it’s been like that for days
and all we can do is wait
an there’s an empty lot and my voice is shot
from screaming at the world from the top of my lungs
it’s like a bomb went off in this place
and all we can do is wait….
remember staring into your face
it could have been for 9 days
I remember Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…
Say a prayer for Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…
I remember Crescent City. - Track Name: Nothing Ever Happens, It Only Seems To

Nothing Ever Happens, It Only Seems To
flat tyres & prescription speed
a thousand miles go by in
a hour of cheap tv
coz it don’t take much
to lose my place
when you’re sleeping
or when you’re awake
time doesn’t pass it stops & starts & stutters
and I repeat myself when I get nervous
conning me with a line of dirt
I’ve done my best and now it’s worse
it’s the same as it was before
pretty tame and then we’re bored
I see you clench your fists
for whatever good it’s worth
even the softest silks against my skin
feels like 100,000 pins
coz nothing ever happens, it only seems to...
how many days with that same expression?
washing our hair in a public restroom
flat tyres and prescription speed
a thousand hours go by in
I smeared off all your make-up
you did the same to me
time doesn’t pass it stops and starts and stutters
and I repeat myself when I get nervous
coz nothing ever happens, it only seems to... - Track Name: Little Communist

Little Communist
You get your way
talking loud enough
talking long enough
getting in the way
you little communist
just like they said you was
I don’t know what to say
so let’s take
one quick huff then we shrug it off
you’re getting in the way
you little communist
just like they said you was
look at shadows long enough
you start to think they’re real
hanging out with the wrong crowd
and that means you...
murder me with love
I’m not sure it can be done
right on, write off
c’mere, c’mon
show me the way
with your tarot cards
and your horoscopes
I don’t know what to say
but it all seems rather dubious
it doesn’t seem the same
as it did in the words
of the philosophers
you’re getting in the way
you little communist
just like they said you was
look at shadows long enough
you start to think they’re real
hanging out with the wrong crowd
and that means you
murder me with love
I’m not sure it can be done
right on, write off
c’mere, c’mon
