there is a hole in your shoe
but you’ve got no glue
and there is something in your sights
but you can’t quite see it through
and I don’t know for sure
what the answer is for sure
but there is hope, hope for you
you can find it, I know you will
but there hope, hope for you
you can find it, I know you will
on top of the hill
at the bottom of the well
you can find it, I know you well
at the end of the day
at the end of the year
you can find it anywhere

these days anger passes right over me
the other day I would have smashed the whole place up
these days there’s a big open space
waiting to be filled with stuff
waiting to be reckoned with
i see trees of red, green roses too
i see them burn, for me and for you
i think to myself
what in the world is going on
these are the steps you take
to take it to the edge and back
to make it to the edge and back
i guess you gotta crack a few eggs
to really make a meal of it
to really make a life of it

can someone please show me what is real?
i once met a woman with a glass eye
and a peg leg
she would walk all around town
with a glass eye and a peg leg
half blind and half lame
and she said to me
i’ll show you what is real
i once met a man with a tattoo of a beer can
right there on his forearm
a janitor with a hangover and bad haircut
a flip phone and a free meal ticket
and half a mind to tell me
and he told me
i’ll show you what is real
they showed me
and they schooled me

and when you gonna learn kid
and when you gonna learn girl
and when you gonna get it straight
hey yeah
that’s what they all say
when all the money’s gone
and you’ve heard all this shit before
but you just don’t give a damn
and I hope you don’t ever change
hey yeah
because you are a shooting star
the kind that is destined to burn
and you are the light and heat
lighting up a cold night
destined to radiate
hey yeah
at your own expense
the kind that is destined to burn
because you are a shooting star

a. fire at. n i g ht

there is a mountain
and a flash from behind the mountain
and there is a fire burning bright
burning at night
and how could the world be so round
if it were just flat?
and how could you be so broken
and not beautiful?
and how could you be so beautiful
and not broken?
in a flash you wondered that
the tax return came back pretty average
and the insurance premium for the insurance increased
inflation was inflating double fold
and minimum chips were still minimum chips
minimum chips and a can of coke please?
thanks
maybe you could start collecting the cans
and build something out of them one day?
maybe a castle or something?
i dunno
you’re too weird for the world
a fire at night
you’re like a fire at night
burning bright

traversing a steep gravel slope
swimming up against the current
running up a hill
cutting it fine
cutting things fine and against the grain
ha ha ha ha
all the while beating them at their own game
digging a hole in the rain
working a 24 hour shift on no sleep
with a proper deep sense of remorse
passing out on the train
insane in the brain
waking up naked on the lawn
losing yourself in the moment
sunbathing in the snow
ha ha ha ha
all the while beating them at their own game
she loves what she does
(they love what they does)
he loves what he does
(they do what they does)
they do what they do
they do what they does
it’s not officially a lot on paper
sunbathing in the snow
ha ha ha ha
all the while beating them to the punch

climbing the hill
up against the 8 ball
stole a T.V and smashed it
this kid knows his stuff
knows how to get it
two beers for two dollars
fountain of knowledge
drowned some problems
but left with other problems
that is just what happens
after a long day on the street
climbing the hill
up against the 8 ball
you have to die of something
said the axe to the tree
and the tree said nothing
out on the edge
we’re on the edge of something
see that sea?
there’s a whole ocean of it
it’s probably plastic
this whole place is though
suddenly plastic
got any pills?
nah, just these here orange peels
my permanent scowl has formed a smile
it’s like permanent dye
you can just cut it out of you want
it’s cut and dry
that’s an expression
climbing the hill
up against the 8 ball
we’re on the edge
out on the edge of something

professionally amateur
rookie of the year
with the old world charm
oh yeah
stopping at nothing to lose a fight
a complete success story
when it comes to throwing money down the drain
oh yeah
on a hero’s quest with a twist
and I wouldn’t have it any other way
oh yeah
it’s puzzling that a small percent have it all
and they’re all bored
the wise ones are lying under a tree somewhere
the poor want to be rich
and the rich don’t give a shit
and then there’s the wise ones lying under a tree
somewhere
in another place
in another time
in another world
