Prisoners of Love


I turned my head in an outstanding way
far from the light of your house
and I imagined a peacock in brilliant blues
like I was suppose to the first time around

I settled on the path that went into you
which turned from gravel to an honorable pave
and there was your house with it's front porch light on
the one that's been keeping me away

Oh, and I'm restless without sleep
cause I'm a prisoner of the gaze that you're in
cause I'm a prisoner of the gaze that you're in
we should all be so lucky to being wearing chains like these
we're all prisoners of love

I moved into a space beyond
and opened and passed through your door
entered a room so real
little futures were clinging to the wall
well there was order before
now all things have been moved
to accommodate a sign of the sun
I still like that chair and that fire over there
I think I'll stick around before I run

Oh, and I'm restless without sleep
cause I'm a prisoner of the gaze that you're in
cause I'm a prisoner of the gaze that you're in
we should all be so lucky to being wearing chains like these
we're all prisoners of love

Arcs (are straight lines)


There is a contest on the beach
and all the stories are supplied
hold your own hold your eyes
we'll run these stingers through the sand
and offer up one good side

I thought of you the other day
as I drew a perfect arc
you're out there and I'm doing my best
arcs are straight lines in progress
who offer up one good side

What I'm seeing ain't really there
at least not on this stretch of road
there's a break in the sky let's go on
and I'll tell you about it another time
and offer you one good side

Old standards sometimes live alone
not much can really touch them
it's nice to see them looking down on inventiveness
among the shells
who try so hard for one good side

Now there's no where left to go
if you leave from here they'll send you back
but what more could you need?
You got your own main street
with two good sides
two good sides
