"Goat's Milk" lyrics
"Goat's Milk"
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit
You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips
You point your tattooed fingers at the fish
As they swim off to the sunset so freely
(Oh there they go, there there they go)
With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz
Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag
You're all down passing out predictions on the ave
To conclusions of the book we are both reading
(Somewhere between the spines)
They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
He says "well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones"
You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws
Speaking broken Spanish, drinking goat's milk through a straw
The twinkle from your eyes is said to stimulate the gods
Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox
(Saying what's he got, well what's he got)
You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades
You'll suffer through martinis while ol' Frank Sinatra's played
On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots
(Oh my, my, my, my)
Time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
He says "well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones"
(Oh my, my, my, my)
Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied
And if they told you half the truth, you'd do your best to act surprised
There are holes in every mountain, lines on every road
There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads

Amigo The Devil - "Hell And You" Went to the bar
To get a little closer to myself and learn
Things I never really wanted to know
The walk got a little far

Andrew Bird - "Pulaski" Half empty, half full
Cup runneth over
Horns of plenty, coffers full
We're starting over
I write you a story
But it loses its thread

Keep turning up, turning up dead

Cosmo Sheldrake - "Egg And Soldiers" I was looking over at my shoulder
Only thinking of the short term
But time was looking back at me
Every day I eat an egg and soldier
Then I sit a little longer
On a blanket made for three

We know this to be true
Everything is difficult except what's in front of you
But it's complicated even under your nose
Bullshit math equations
Your highs and your lows

The Dodos - "Trades And Tariffs" Pace, back and forth along this road
All the stops we just go by
To the faces that we know
To the faces that we hide
Yeah we walk as if we're told
"Not a single head held high"
To the ones we've come...
