"Be At Rest" lyrics
"Be At Rest"
Mister Felice, 6 foot tall, 148 pounds
Soft teeth, sleep deprived, below average student
Owner of 2 ill-fitting suits
Wearer of hand me downs
Often lukewarm, and withdrawn
Bathrobe often loosely tied
(Be at rest my friend)
Be at rest
Never once named employee of the month
Lover of 24 hour laundromats
Avoider of eye contact
Avoider of blood drives
(Be at rest my friend)
Be at rest
Worked every night club in America
Had a fear of falling pianos
Now exists in the interval between being and illusion
In the saddle of a phosphorous horse
A patron of snow cone carts
Semi proficient at long division
Once spent over 2 months stuck in a painting by Bruegel the Elder
The hearse has been cleaned and polished
His body has been prepared for entombment
The guest book left open
The funeral parlor pillows
Have been fluffed
To his son he leaves a cloudless sky
One pair of ill-fitting shoes
To his wife a box of undeveloped negatives
And a bowl of onion soup
From dreams to dust

So you peek into the mountain where your desire goes
Spilled blood on this place it only echoes true, all through the days...
Warren Zevon - "Carmelita" I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all...
Wilco - "California Stars" I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars

Your hand touching mine

The Decemberists - "Down By The Water" See this ancient riverbed
See where all the follies led
Down by the water and
Down by the old main drag
I was just some tow-head teen
Feeling round for fingers to get in between
Down by the water...
Billy Bragg - "I Will Be Your Shield" When things start to unravel
And days fill you with dread
When comments dent your confidence
Confide in me instead
When every little setback
Just makes you want to cry
When the whole world seems...
