lyrics

In the dark afternoon when the spotlight sleeps
I'm alone in my room with my crumbling cornbread dreams
In the cathedral of my bones
filled with organs heavy as stones
I sing out a melody so I don't feel so all alone

At glass o milk dawn all fenced into my neighbors lawn
the barking hens are making bets on when I will get out of bed
so I crackle and I rise
I pull the sleep from out of my eyes
and I hum a few melody while my coffee sighs
I go out walking where the walking goes
I grin at trees and I spit 'em some prose
I go out walking down the street
with my hands in my pockets and my boots on my feet

and in the dark afternoon when the moon has woke from her sleep
I ramble down to the bar for a drunken soliloquy
perched stool wise I sink deep
stuck in circles till that last call sweep
under waning neon
I mumble out a melody

When that hangover sun comes up and all that sleeping in my eyes is still stuck
I dream my lonely smut
and I sing out no melody
And I wait patiently for some new hell in me
to turn over the seasons
and invent me a few new memories
All alone in my room
with my melting moon pie dreams
I'm a useless fidelity made of feathers and of cream

Well, the words they're not hard to find but the music is a mystery
I'll tell you true that its a lie when I say melodies
come easily
