Oh Any 04:06
Well the processing rooms, of the broken pay phones Flags are burned, collapsed vending machines And across the bay, the runway lights they sway A blinding taunt, for a travelling vaccine Oh Any, why do, you make them boys cry You know that, you really don’t have to try Just pull your stockings, from your sweet thighs Oh Any, tease them boys tonight The plough is pulled, by a horse and a mule The coffee tastes so, bitter when you wake And the cars fumes, is the breath of its fuel Out on the streets, shadows suffocate And isn’t it absurd, that there’s letters inside words A fantasy world, a fictional bouquet And from the fiery slums, to Embarcadero’s lungs Of the stations, where we silently wait And there are some twin lines that circle the sky That trace the lies, that shake like a war A length of bail, designed to sail From the horizon, to appreciate the curve

Swept away, washed away By the things we never thought to say And feel my heart wrap around your skin It doesn’t matter where we start as long as we begin And as your pillows wrinkle and smother us in Just let me buy you all the prettiest of things And as I leave your house with my hair in a mess I can still taste your lips, so sweet I confess So let’s take things slow There’s no need to rush we have a long way to go And in your eyes my world moves slow So let’s take things slow And for all the time that it may take For me to be next to you in some tiny way Outside your door the world will have to wait Cause every time I see you I feel new again Who really cares if we don’t know what to do? It may be strange to us but it feels right to move So let’s not suffer their sins it’ll all blow through Just once in a while let me stand next to you So in your eyes and the feel of your skin I adore you with ever word, sound and sin And I wish we could play but sometimes we’d better stay in But it just means I dream about you all the time So we can’t be worried if the others mind We need to just take our precious time And I’ll protect you from prying eyes You, me, us is the most important thing on my mind

Union 03:34
Well woke up this morning smelling of sin Mama’s in the kitchen cooking fried chicken again She can see how, how her kids have grown Warm up your hands over the pot belly stove And everyone feels like a BB gun Washed away, pointless, full adrenaline Hold a cigarette close to your skin Stompin on the floorboards, hootin and a hollerin And I want a union I want my freedom And I have searched for the right to choose And I want my family I have roamed this country And if I go out the door I may never come back to you Now on the bowery junky bum trannies patrol Digging up the pain in their rent controlled homes Smiling beneath your American spirit rolled eyes Come on now baby why fight it when we can go for a ride Well snow falls on the train jumping tracks We fell for each other like old vinyl slack We pawned our bones on the empty street We built a world out of want instead of the things that we need And when we were poor we would drone and sigh Sometimes depressed and the other times high The cities like a canyon built out of ghosts Gonna move back to the country someday and grow old
