Magic Mirror

Hold up your magic mirror
Try to disappear
Walking in impossible directions
Staring out the window at somebody that you know
Cross the street at busy intersections
Say hello
The mirror explodes
Looking for an apple in the sky
While dark clouds drift by
Hiding UFO’s
There’s an apple in the sky
All full of wormholes
A magician with a vanishing act
Hiding up a sleeve
Leaves a box out in the lobby for suggestions
The audience
Speechless for a second
Before thoughts form a line at the concession
It’s the magician’s misdirection
Looking in your eyes disappearing out of sight
While dark clouds drift by
Hiding UFO’s
There’s an apple in the sky
All full of wormholes
Wormholes

Workingman’s Joe
Half asleep at the wheel but there’s bells on the door
Take a seat at the bar
Right next to the window
Watch foot traffic
Shuffling
Changing their step each day
More of the same
Changing their step each day
“Welcome to Workingman’s Joe!
Our motto is simple;
There’s no sugar or cream
Did i mention we also sell cigarettes?”
That’s the owner pouring boiling black coffee
You light up a smoke
Look across the street
Do you see a drunk painter
Finding new colours each day?
Find a new colour each day
More of the same
Finding new colours each day
Workingman’s Joe
“We close in 5 minutes
Get the fuck out of here
Put out that smoke
There’s an ashtray beside the window
We close in 5 minutes
Get the fuck out of here
Put out that smoke!”

Square
Triangle
All sorts of shapes
A root untangles
A feeling fades
At this angle
And time of day
The sky looks purple
When it was gray
I thought it might rain
On our parade
Streetlight
Glows through the window
Moonlight
Illuminates
The sun’s gone down and
The bars are closing (up shop)
Walking in circles (concrete circles)
To smoke
On the parkade
Teal sea lions
From outer space
Want to swim in
Freshwater lakes

Beached Whale
03:11
|

|
Walking around
Back alleyways downtown
On my way to work
Beneath a cloud
Monotone gray blanket
Over frozen earth
And you take a photograph
Of a beached whale
While i use my sunburned hands
To put sand in a pail
And all of the seagulls smell
Air that goes stale
And bank back out to sea
Can’t put your finger there
All out of stories
Good enough to share
Spilling 25 secrets
Could you keep this one from contamination?
When you take a photograph
Beside a beached whale
Using your sunburned hands
To block out the glare
While all of the seagulls smell
Air that goes stale
And bank
Back out to sea
Way up high
Above the breeze
Didn’t know it was that bad
I heard the same last week
Hang out somewhere
Hang out beside the sea
Just listless

Fly a Kite
03:06
|
|||
|
Go fly a kite
Straight off a bridge
Taking flight
Wait for the word
Hot on the heels of
Gossip heard
Know what to take
A heavy heart with time to
lose some weight
Or break (wide open)
Stray off the rails
Get outside of the wake
Make a sail
Go
Fly a kite
Go

Oh, Sunshine
03:11
|

|
Traveling south
Making up time
Well spent pretending
Straight lines are bending
Past city lights
Billboards on the side
Of the road
In a green field
The desert’s so dry
Now the sun’s coming up
The radio died
The engine stalled in my mind
In my mind
There’s a sign up ahead
I can’t see what it says
A crack in the windshield
Blinking headlights are dead
At the fork take a left
Then the light starts to change
Climbing up the mountain side
Gold and green hills
Oh, sunshine
In my mind

Dinosaur Bones
03:34
|

|
When dinosaurs die out
We’ll dig up all the bones
Form a pile at our feet
A rocket fuel refinery
Get front row seats
To the meteor shower
In the forecast
Watch ideas of power
Turn to dust
In the blast
Of the meteor shower
Yeah
Sticky dinosaurs in mud
A footprint in a fossil
A carbon taxing shrug
Archaeology’s exhausting
The sky turns green
There’s a meteor shower
In the forecast
Watch ideas of power
Turn to dust
In the blast
There’s a meteor shower
Approaching

Nowhere 2
02:56
|

|
Nowhere
And somewhere else at once
Like a housecat
In a daydream
Chasing a mouse
While watching
All the birds fly away
Beside the birdbath
The water looks deep
A girl walks past
With her dog
Who looks thirsty
Can’t jump that high
Never in the same place
At the same time
Like two birds
Falling out of the sky
Dive bombing branches
Building nests of
Information
And love
