lyrics

six stops and walk it off
not calm, but self-effacing
hung over in new shoes
to track a patient pacing

oh, make some renovations on the image of yourself
another transplant commuter, just like everybody else
you moved here to be part of it
here to be part of it
here to mix a little blood with dirt & water

she sends me back to the city
with books on basquiat & dylan
couple posters that need framed
and a recipe for something

shot to the ground along familiar flight trajectory
i picked up what i could carry and then it was time to leave
but i could only take part of it
could only take part of it
i must have left the rest back there in cuyahoga

there's endless potential
for things to just burst at the seams
like a train coming true
like a runaway dream
it got away from me
when you think you've seen the whole thing
it's usually just part of it
usually just part of it
and maybe this is where we start to scratch the surface

He has released a slew of LPs and 7"s, and has played shows pretty much everywhere including an abandoned restaurant in Wyoming, a mall in China, several squats in Germany and a pretty nice bookstore in Australia. He is definitely not the person writing this. ... more
