The less you touch other people
the longer you'll live
your children can lie down on super market shelves
and camp out amid the protien shakes
telling horror stories
clumsy teenage
girls who let their
calorie intakes
Get Carried Away
as if by a dark force
the devil himself
the same wars are fought everywhere
some with nothing
some with convience and book-learning
"this is how you hold a gun"
dear mom
it's dark but i'm
still watching out for everyone
maybe I explain
those starlit nights
when we both knew
what was going on
when one fell
by chance
we picked it up
and all the catch we played
went unrecorded
when it might have been
taken down
to rest forever
oh yeah, it's the night
i'm starving a little, and
can you believe this sky
and us?
each one like something
up above
and too shy to name it
we wait for dawn
anxious to say
look at that
it's already gone.
It makes no difference
To these people
The palms and parrots
You carry your gut
You look out for the same
Glistening sparks
What you have learned
Can be got away with
You'll
Do
And why let the others do
Unto you?
Forget all the masses
Converted just in time
Parrots and palms
And we feel just fine.
Dear you,
you are taller than every Mexican.
I'm sitting here glued to
a window like it was TV
watching us go by
the country side
and I think
One person's quiet
and another wears a suit
One in the same
and they travel in groups
Oh guns!
Will make them give it up
and on
to a life of
Up!
Where the tred stays down
and the sodas
and your Family
Available on every corner
under the sign
you're under the water
and on top
I'm only guessing
but my guess is good
like sex on an empty belly
Are they going to disagree?
Deep sea feeling got a
hold on me
Hey!
Shot down
at seven teen
Hey?
Before six o'clock
and we feel OK.
if you don't like them
why do you shop there?
universal poverty
if you don't like them
why do you let them rule?
universal size deficiency
oh you're tiny, yes
but aren't there millions and millions of you?
and aren't the big ones
tiny too?
oh what
oh I know, it's true
i don't like to shop there
but baby
I do.
back to america
i raced ahead
and it stunned me
everyone's got their's
alright
but where
a woman in a shop
loudly discusses her shapely
well fed ears
while in small places
don't ever come here
stay in your tiny ruined cities
refuse to sell us trinkets
on either side
of any border
don't come to tell us
or even come to tell each other
stay home and if we come to call
oh
i don't know
oh
bother.
every girl is someone's girl
next door
you can't see the stars at midnight
until the resort lights go down
if they stay up all night man
the party and the stars
can twinkle freely
yeah, yeah yeah
we know they're there
even digging ditches we
know the equator
and of our people
staying there
we know they've got our sky
blacked out
and seeing what they can't
doesn't make us better
