And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street

Different little ditties that I never completely finished.

They let go of my hand when we first left the hospital
He's a big boy now, at least death would be profitable
I walked alone for so long
And suddenly you come along
You saved me from myself and the rest of the world
Must be an angel this is one big miracle
When I'm standing on the curb that they kicked me to
Gonna jump in front of a bus then along comes you

(Mr. Moore taught me well. Look at that line!)

I found a map, but lost our course
Have a feeling we're not heading north
I think now down is our only way
What can I do to make you stay
Or is there something I could say
To brighten up your darkest day
You were my favorite guide
You wouldn't believe how I've cried
Why do I bother telling you
You are rubber and I am glue
It will linger here with me
keeping me from ecstasy

---

These bags are getting heavy. I can't sleep anymore.
Every time I close my eyes I see you, stupid whore.
Fuck you and the games that are your way.
Fuck you and everything you say.
Your judgment is in season,
but I hear you speak no reason.
Why should I waste my time?
Hearing my punishment for your crime.

---

I can't stand you
Can't you understand that
Made a mistake
Just forget that I asked

---

All I wanted was a place of my own
Wife and kids to which I'd come home
A place where there is no debt
And as I grow old my days get better yet
Take me away to paradise
Tall glass to drink chock full of ice

---

I lie to myself saying everything's fine
but I'm counting the days til Cloud Number 9

---

In a short while I'll leave this place
and go off to some other empty space
You don't know how much I'll miss you
No matter how much I dissed you
I always thought there was a connection
but I just got your deflection
I acted like I thought it was for the best
when I was really thinking where in peace I'd rest
