Oh comely
I will be with you when you lose your breath
Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left
With some pretty bright and bubbly terrible scene
That was doing her thing on your chest
But oh comely
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess
In your memory you're drunk on your awe to me
It doesn't mean anything at all
Oh comely
All of your friends are all letting you blow
Bristling and ugly
Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
Of some pretty bright and bubbly friend
You could need to say comforting things in your ear
But oh comely
There isn't such one friend that you could find here
Standing next to me
He's only my enemy
I'll crush him with everything I own
Say what you want to say
Hang for your hollow ways
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracles aimed for me
Your father made fetuses
With flesh licking ladies
While you and your mother
Were asleep in the trailer park
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
The music and medicine you needed for comforting
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
And pluck all your silly strings
And bend all your notes for me
Soft silly music is meaningful magical
The movements were beautiful
All in your ovaries
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
Smelling of semen all under the garden
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me
Say what your want to say
Hang for your hollow ways
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracles aimed for me
And I know they buried her body with others
Her sister and mother and 500 families
And will she remember me 50 years later
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine
Know all your enemies
We know who our enemies are
Goldaline my dear
We will fold and freeze together
Far away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever
But now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
Place your body here
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine
She said, "Face your fears and come with me.
Take a chance and take my hand so you can see everything you know you'll never have,
everything you know you want but fate killed your plans."
Fill this hole inside of me,
I can't stand the ache this pain is killing me.
Those who have suffered will understand that pain is welcome when it's all you have left,
come and die with me.
Let's see what we can't be.
Come and die with me.
Now is our chance to know how it feels to be free.
I'm alone but not alone.
You're welcome here but we're on our own.
It's the test we were bound to fail.
I've watched the strongest crumble and seen their weakness prevail.
The give and take, the grip and strain, the hopeless sincerity,
we played and lost or so it appears to me to be that way.
I can't hold this smile. I can't hide this pain.
I'm in search of a second opinion, a way to escape this situation..
The list of wrongs I write no one can read.
I know the scars are shared but we can never speak.
Holding on, holding in, the ache lulls and then I see you again.
It's a pain I'd never trade for anything.
I can smile outside, I can smile and say I'm all right.
I'm praying for things that will never change.
Now is our chance to know how it feels to be so free from all this #.
I'm not content alone and not pleased with your distance.
Come and die with me.

Tom Waits - Jitterbug Boy
"and so you ask me
what I'm doing here
holding up a lamp post
flippin this quarter,
trying to make up my mind
and if it's heads I'll go to
Tennessee, and tails I'll buy a drink
if it lands on the edge
I'll keep talking to you"
