Bloomsday
Hey, everything must always start again, That’s how it goes my little Mickey Finn
They rob you and they kick you when you’re out like a light, I know it’s happening
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
Give me something, Bloomsday’s coming, open up the doors and have a goddamn beer
Ring the baker, the butcher, the charioteer, the palm readers in Salem, the engineer
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
This little light of mine, i’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, i’m gonna let it shine
So are you a socialite, do you buy candles to pricey now to light?
Or are you an Okie from Okmulgee just making due with wax and pride?
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
This little light of mine, i’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, i’m gonna let it shine

There Is No Mail Today
I’m glad you got away, I just can’t seem to leave
I feel antagonizing, just this widow’s peak
I am my own canary, in my own mine of coal
I get the strongest drink in the unstirred punch bowl
I give myself no margin but to the edge I’ve strayed
The yard is overgrown, there is no mail today
The shadows move around me, all it would take to change
is a movement of myself to some other place
I am a deep snow angel in the melted snow
I put my hand on the plow, turned away from the row
Now I don’t know the devil, but I know my own dismay
The yard is overgrown, there is no mail today
I am a broken gambler, the house will always win
Looking up to the sky and there’s no sky within
But maybe not to gamble is the greater wrong
So I will be that villian and that canary blonde
The ground is warm and healthy and so much time to play
The yard is overgrown, there is no mail today

Malachi, Goodbye

Malachi, Goodbye
You lit a match
Recited a line
from a poem of mine
Like that would land
A favorable kiss
But I let go your hand
Street lights spill in
the cab as we ride
through South Norwood and Woodside
Malachi, goodbye
There’s nothing happening, goodbye
You call to me
I can not be named
I’m never the same
From birth, you see
I rise and I fall
I hem and I haw
In life, in time
You best look alive
You wouldn’t know how
to abide with me
Malachi, goodbye
Malachi, goodbye
There’s nothing happening, goodbye
I doubt that our conversations stay with me too long
You can go back to your family
I can be alone
I wish you well
If I bear in mind
To wish anything
Your way, It’s late
I’ll miss my bus home
This may be the end but wait
Malachi, goodbye
Malachi, goodbye
There’s nothing happening, nothing happening
Nothing happening, goodbye

Two Sitting Ducks
The humble mechanic, a grease covered Van Gogh
Said the automatic transmission was blown
And you laughed as he told you. “Man that’s just our luck”.
“I guess we live here now”, just two sitting ducks
And the world was wide
I found some delight
Over every part
I wasn’t free, I was young in mind and heart
You worked painting houses
I worked as a maid
We drank too much shit beer
At the oxbow lake
We said nothing could kill us,
Prey to no hunter for blood
We didn’t know then the upshot
We’re just two sitting ducks
Oh the world is wide
I find some delight
Over every part
I’m always free if I’m young in mind and heart
What good is waiting for trouble when I am always free?
Stand with me on the level
I am always free
I am always free
