Music @ Work

You did the best that you could do.
You were a great crew,
who tried to nurture and preserve your
faith in you.
And with the bureau chiefs
and the shrugging spies
You could stay, but why?

You see a light and then another
and everything you fought for
naught's uncovered.
You're not a fighter, you're a lover.
You got no business in here, brother
so... stay.
Stay.

Is it the worst that you could do?
You were a great you,
who tried to nurture and preserve your
faith in you
and with the bureau chiefs
and the shrugging spies
You could stay and why?
Cause you see a light and then another.
Everything you thought you
sought's uncovered.
You're a fighter and a lover
and there's no one up above her
so... stay.
Stay.

All things being balanced,
it's balanced and called balancing
somewhere beyond everything it's being
balanced not for the
sake of balance but balancing between
the throes of learning
and the entire thing
entirely
balancing.

I don't wanna put another thought
in my head.

The humming bird is cleared for
maintenance,
evacuating long after it made no sense.
It's not so much a load and stay anymore
as a gotta-get-down-the-road-before-the-
temperature-soars.

I don't wanna put a little thought
in your head.

Diplomacy goes even better with drinks
(until the big city trees begin to shrink.)
It's not so much a load out and stay anymore
it's gotta get down the road before the
snarling traffic roars

I don't wanna ask you,
'What you got in your head?'
I'm not gonna ask you
a whole bunch of questions.

OK, we agree to disagree...
Giving up... Giving up the Embassy
is a whole lot better than,
The Embassy's Surrendering.

Flying home under the approval of the stars,
I couldn't be more at home with the way
things are so hard.
It's not so much a load out and stay anymore
it's gotta get down the road before the
confetti cannon blows
with litigious force.

I don't wanna ask you,
'What you got in your head?'
I'm not gonna ask you
'Whatcha been thinking?'

I don't wanna put another thought
in my head.

I don't wanna put another thought
in my head.

Did you know you were the rock plug for all of us?
Did you know in the conduit of Vesuvius.
You were far more unifying than you know
I'm not a judge of suitable
but, you almost had it all.
Now you'll have to tell me when
tell me when it's imminent
so you won't have to rise and fall alone
or endure the wonder of survival
the wipe-out loss
the elation of free fall
the rock bottom
the sweet betrayal
alone.
alone
alone
alone
hello

Everything is bleak.
It's the middle of the night.
You're all alone and the dummies might be right.
You feel like a jerk.
My music at work.
My music at work.

Avoid trends and clich

We can take a bit of a breather.
We can skip to the practical part.
We can skip to the Time of Neither,
when we're together and even
when we're apart.
I'll tell you a story about the Lake Fever or
we can skip to the coital fury.
You didn't say yes or no, neither.
You whispered, hurry.

We can take it a little bit further.
We can stick to the after-effects part.
'Not trying to make you a believer,
don't want a lil' piece of your heart.
Just telling you a story about the Lake Fever
or we can skip to a neutral fury.
You didn't say yes or no or neither.
You whispered, hurry.

want to be a nobody without peer.
want to be a thought that's never done
want to shake your faith in human nature
want to break the hearts of everyone.
want to be your wheezing screen door.
want to be your stars of Algonquin.
want to be your roaring floorboard.
want to break the hearts of everyone.
and cause discontent until They,
ceasing their investigation,
bring back the days events,
good citizens and time well spent,
til we're talking in whispers again.
Until we're talking in whispers again.

You're older, you're haunted
you're ahead of your time.
In corners of acres of blocks of
straight lines.
Blurringly, hourly we cross some
great divides
some heritage moments and some
melodious minds...
a voice above the engine and the
jet stream combined
'it's time..sir...The time sir...
Do you have the time?'
As the moon groomed the airplane in a
benevolent way
Again with the myth that's neither here,
neither there.
Again with the myth from up
up high in the air.
Above it all, I love you all
Oh how could this be the end?
Satan backhands our nose and our chin
the wings tell the tailfins
'It's freak turbulence.'

Just then the Captain assures us
we will land
'I'll have you on the ground
in 25 minutes or less.'
'Or less, did he say 'less? Unless what?
We're not on time?
Or less he said 'or less Jet stream
and engine combine
Unless he said 'Or less' as if a joke might
just keep us flying.
As the moon groomed the airplane in a
benevolent way

As the moon groomed the airplane with it's
benevolent rays.

As I wind down the pines
it's the lines on your face
playing on your face.

Without thinking so much
as abandoning thought
I went through open country
over water meadow streams
lakes and wires and roosts in reeds
to a nest in the hole of
this dead
tree.

To play without stopping or pause
not for silence not for applause
not without thinking
and thinking's abandoning thought.

As I wind down the pines
it's the lines on your face
playing on your face.
