City Suite

When morning comes Let's forget it's ever dark You hold me close We go walking through the park Bright dove-tipped trees Urban arteries in bloom Spill human seed Wafting westward like perfume Through the city suites Through all the city suites Hey hey I'm blowing away I love you but it's me versus different chemicals When they go strumming my veins I'm laughing through my teeth, I'm a beaten animal So with my hands in my pockets and my shoes untied I go out to kiss the creator We're gonna talk talk talk 'Til the thinking slows and I know, I know, I know... We got his funeral grin His baggy hospital eyes I hope you're riding the rails As I go scraping the skies And cut away from the crowd For a familiar street Where I'm becoming the man I said I never would be He's leaning out of the frame His face is twisted and wild His blood is punishing me I am forever a child Watching my shadow recede Into the darkening hall My body's running away But I remember it all I remember it all The city's quivering hope Is shining out of our spines I had a bucket of change And drank a bottle of wine F*ck man it's great to be young And sell your hunger for bread Sister I've fallen in love With something ugly and dead I keep a picture of you I couldn't tell you the year Sneaking some cake in your cheeks The stillness brings me to tears What hands have cradled the void These hooks have swatted away Black bile scours my heart It's just like dad used to say "Don't be so sensitive kid This life will swallow you whole" So I adopted a shame Called what I couldn't control Still, it was easier then Before I had to survive When I would lie in my bed Imagine mom was alive I would envision a night When I'd be perfect and free With an invisible moon An unpredictable sea And everybody I saw Someone I wanted to be And each reciprocal glance Would be a present to me Now there's a time and a place I wish I couldn't recall I remember it all I remember it all If I need what I despise If I curse what I create If I cannot change this feeling Feeling is fate If the father could not love If the mother could not hate Then he's always missing something Something tells me that By blade, by bullet, by flood or by flight I'm gonna ditch this body in the city tonight Because it's never been mine Because it's never been mine I said by blade, by bullet, by flood or by flight I'm gonna ditch this body in the city tonight Because it's never been mine No, no, no, no it's never been mine So I said nothing at all Except a hypocrite's prayer Though you carry the map Lara darling, don't follow me here He was a delicate dog What a delicate dog He sang Lara and myself, we were still inside When our mother died... I am cut loose I am born again I am cut loose But I remember it all I am the boy with the sinkhole eyes And the crooked legs Tripping into the bar I wanna do what you're thinking I want to pour what you're drinking I want to know who you are I wanna sit at your table I want to sit at your table I want to sit to the side Who am I? Could he ever be on your side? I've got the face of a soldier My mother's dad was a soldier He died in a major war For my Roman nose And my blue, blue jeans Brown hairs that defect like friends to the floor I wanna sit at your table I want to sit at your table I want to sit to the side Who am I? Could he ever be on your side? She's some kind of mannequin goddess I don't know a word that I'm saying But it sounds like something important Because she's beautiful, I guess She's V-I-V-I-A-N-A She's taken note of my shoes I'm carving deer on the wall She says What are you called I tell her Jon with no H Then she parts her lips just ever so slightly Thumbs in my pockets She's making light of the time I'm going out of my clothes When I whisper the words That you never should say Did you know that my dad is the guy on TV? Do you want to hear some poetry? Bright dove-tipped trees Urban arteries in bloom Spill human seed And I want to spill some too... Let us fix our eyes on Jesus Who for the joy set before him endured the cross Put on that strawberry gloss It's my favorite distraction She's some kind of mannequin goddess I don't know a word that I'm saying But it sounds like something important Because she's beautiful, I guess She's V-I-V-I-A-N-A Here's something new to remember A burning letter held our bodies aloft We were soft as doves I had to sit at your table I used to sit at your table You smiled and you took me to your city suite Now I'm in love with it all But she remembers it all As he was tearing away He hollered it was him versus different chemicals So I had nothing to say I chased him through the streets like a cheated criminal So now it's so long stranger, will I see you again I bent down and cursed the creator I'll take your hindsight love It's the only kind that I know, I know, I know... Spare me your lullabies I'll set fire to your pillows, blacken your billows And rise from your city suite In the guise of a pigeon, dumb with derision above But I'll be thinking of you My twin, my kind Take your time Make all the memories you need Be young, go blind Take your time I'll be alright on my own Yes Jon, just fine Take your time I'll be alright on my own Yes Jon, just fine Take your time And sing "Lara and myself we were still inside When our mother died" So our mother died! I am cut loose I am born again I am cut loose But I remember it all I am cut loose Singing, "Lara and myself were still inside When our mother died" I am cut loose When morning comes Let's forget it's ever dark You hold me close We go walking through the park
