1800 Above Abdoun Street

Birds flying 

don't know what kind

fading in an out of the purple sky

watched 'em for a moment

they are broad

then weaving

then invisible

then appearing again, 

the whole flock moving in a figure eight pattern

paralyzed on the balcony,

in and out

and in and out

of the sunset clouds

couldn't move.

landing on the rooftop

one jumping off

in and out

can't get his fill

gliding back down to his spot on the shitpile

everywhere's got Birds.

If you don't dream, your mind's gonna make you up instead.

I am tired.
I am tired.
I have tried,
thus I'm tired,
wanna retire
my body for the day.

Didn't get enough sleep,

who gets enough sleep?

Aren't the dreams where we'd rather be.

fuck your reality

exciting, honest, comfortable, safe

all  in the head

all in the head

everything

Understanding

the Goodness,

my goodness!

the hour it is!

how much did this minute cost you?

realization of what's lost on you

a dollar or two

a grand or three

how grand! you gave it to me

aren't you tired, though?...

aren't you tired, though?

numb your limbs

keep moving 

it's called "the grind"

no time, no time

you gave it all to me.

You should get some sleep.

Your mind calls you

you're ignoring its ring.

you're ignoring

you're ignoring

some sad things

some mad things

embarrassing

embarrassing

you don't get embarrassed in your head.

it's there.

it is.

it invades your life when you ignore it too long.

can't go too long

without your sleep.

why, if you do, 

you'll be dead;

that's the context of "too"

seeing red and blue

Forgive me; I'm tired.

This is my head 

and I can't keep it from speaking up sometimes.

If I did, I'd be dead.

I'm tired,

ain't dead.

Tired.

Thank Williams

my bucket's got a hole in it
yeah my bucket's got a hole in it
my bucket's got a hole in it
can't find no beer

i been playin in the water - lost my bucket full o sand
i turn into a human - that ain't got no plan

oh my heart's got a weight in it
mmmuh heart's got a weight in it

tryin to 'member last year

i been layin all alone - shiverin in my bed
i'd might miss you if - you got outta my head

so my wall's got a hole in it
ooh my walls had enough holes in it
made another after punchin it
now nobody's here

well midway through the mountain - lookin down at me
i'm with the hags and the bitches - hittin the doobie

my bucket's got a hole in it
yeah my bucket's got a hole in it
my bucket's got a hole in it
drank all your beer

well there ain't no use - of workin so hard
i bake in the sun cause - all i gots is a yard

my ego's got a hole in it
mmm my ego's got a hole in it
guess i better bear and grin it
can't find no cheer
