Well You said
You planned your funeral when you were 50.
And I wake up early
To be there for the sun
For all that it does
It’s the least I can do
least I can do
You said you once had a garden
A garden where nothing would grow
I’d rather you had a bicycle
That would take you
where ever you wanted to go
There’s a story I tell about the desert
How I saw you up in a tree
How I watched you from a satellite
Sent you erotic pictures of me
But the desert turned into the heartland
And the heartland lead to the sea
And the future is mirky
At best
You said you wanted to travel
then you lost your legs
But you didn’t unravel
But it changed everything
It was a pretty good day
I drove with a friend across the border
We sat on a stone wall
In the shade
And drank coffee
Took the back way
Into Monday
Cried very little
About the past
I put my feet up
When I had enough
Yea, yea
Out in the back yard with the radio
I can hear all the way to Little Rock Arkansas
600 miles through the atmosphere
Into my ear
Well It seems like forever
Could conceivably arrive
I'm hoping for the best
Bit I know better
It’s late
Most things have come and gone
The water in my tap
Seems a little bit colder
And I am happy just to see you
I’ll be waiting
I try to be cynical
What a fucking joke
I should stick to what I know
And I don’t know how to explode
And I don’t know how to explode
