you’re right i shouldn’t be alone
i wanna sit online chatting til dawn / I wanna sit on my chinatown throne
i cut off all my hair cause sometimes i get scared
write songs about my pee
but you’ll never look at me
i’ll always remember to do everything right
i’m sorry but you can’t make me come

“hey i’m falling asleep but i just wanted to let you know that you are perfect. i just listened to around and around and how could anybody so perfect who makes music so fucking…such fucking incredible music ever feel confused or unsure of what they’re doing. nothing you can do is wrong. ok good i’m glad you understand. bye.” -emma
“What is it that attracts one to one? Mystery?
I think of you in Paris with a red beard, a
theological student; in London talking to a friend
who lunched with Dowager Queen Mary and offered
her his last cigarette; in Los Angeles shopping
at the Supermarket; on Mount Shasta, looking…
above all on Mount Shasta in your unknown youth
and photograph.
And then the way you straighten
people out. How ambitious you are! And that you’re
a painter is a great satisfaction, too. You know how
I feel about painters.”
- Frank O’Hara, from JOHN BUTTON BIRTHDAY

baby’s got a brand new birthday party
and i just can’t wait to tell him i’m sorry
i wonder if he’ll remind me of myself
i sure hope not, that’d be depressing as hell
I wonder if you’ll feel pretty about me
when i’m 35 or even 23
and i just wish i could be a kid til he is
and i just wish that i could always re-live this
and the night before my 16th birthday
i had a dream everything was growing away
saw she’d grown 4 feet when i looked in the mirror
and i really didn’t wanna be near her
sat on my toilet and i wept for 3 hours
i slept til 2 and i woke up and showered
never knew getting old would feel like this
took one look away and the whole thing was missed
baby’s got a brand new birthday party
and i can’t wait to tell him i’m sorry
i wonder if he’ll be a star
and i think i’ll always love him from afar

(do you need a bandaid? do you want to lie down next to you til you fall asleep?
i know you hate when i leave. can you stamp my head? can we paint the walls around the bathroom? i’m the bad guys again. i’m a cowboy again. i can’t keep secrets or surprises, i’m just a dirty fingernail, i’m just a little tomato can)
i can’t keep secrets or surprises
i can’t sleep on just my damn hand
can you give me your horns?
i’m no flower, just the thorns
can we hold hands? i’m just a sad little man
i don’t think about love anymore
bullet straight through my leg
cleared my drawers now i’m all dregs
mmm accidentally told you so
mmm accidentally told you to

water is so funny like yesterday
water always moves in the same way
i don’t know what to say to you
if what georgie said was really true
if all dreams are real then i found love
how could you possibly know who i dream of?
eli you can look the other way
this here dog will take me off your hands
water is so funny like this man
watch him watch me do my little dance
i don’t know what to say to you
hey i’m so upset how do you do?

i left the room and went to the kitchen sink
thought for a while how i didn’t know how to think
you called me on the telephone
told my brother to tell you i wasn’t home
i went to your friends place the other day
told him i loved you just to see what he would say
i smoked some poems by myself in my room
if you cremate me scatter my ashes in your tomb
and i still like you
even though i look the other way
and i still like you
even though i acted mean today
walked down to the water sandwich in hand
thought about your daughter never playing in the sand
and i called you on the telephone
you told me to just leave you alone
you wanted to be left alone
and i still like you even though i look the other way
and i still like you even though i acted mean today

i can’t stand the way you raise your voice
i can’t stand the way you make me wanna kill u all the gd f’ing time

i can’t stand the way you make me stare

you’re a bum you’re no fun, i don’t care what you wear
it’s about how you feel, you don’t feel you’re not real
you just steal people’s hearts, and you tear them apart
so now we’re not friends, but i can pretend
that i don’t mind, yea i feel fine
set your parents house on fire
set your parents house on fire
set your parents house on fire
i’ll set your parents house on fire
the only times i ever see you is in my dreams
i got something to tell you, gonna make you scream
you might’ve strung me along but i still like hearing your songs
though they aren’t still about me, i’ll watch you play i just need whiskey
all the girls wanna kiss you, i dreamt you told me “i miss you”
i was so fucked up i was lying in the street
when i called you i thought you were being mean
well i know it takes a lot to be nice to me, wouldn’t want you waste all your energy!!!!
set your parents house on fire
set your parents house on fire
set your parents house on fire
i’ll set your parents house on fire
