The Conversation

I think this entire project is really about my desire to understand what the fuck is happening to myself and all of us—all our stories.

Well I heard a conversation

Outside the CVS

About a country gone to hell

High heels sound like horses

And the flag hangs in the brittle breeze

And I can’t sleep

And I can’t wake up

Carry on this disease

This disease

I can’t sleep

And I can’t wake up

Winter’s just around the corner

I’m trying hard to understand

To understand

Sleeping in the car

In the middle of the day

I will find the goodness

And I will find my way

On occasion I will think of something new

Surprised and delighted

I might bring it to you

Today I’ll be the stranger

Swimming in your pool

And I will cross the line for you

And I will break that golden rule

I wish your fields were mine

Then all the sunrises would be in me

Everybody wants the sun to rise

Everybody want that river to flow

Everybody wants the sun to rise

Everybody want that river to flow, flow, flow

Everybody everybody wants that sun to rise
