the city trees

from boat with no oars by mary bue

lyrics

i'd like to tell you about the city trees
the tired lions, the scent on the breeze
i'd like to get a better picture of the weight on my palms
the city's scream
the world's alarm
because something
is pushing me
something is pushing me
something is pushing me to run

no hell raising,
no baby making
caffiene up staying
and showing flames
screens of pixels
berry picking
from what are we sinking
what songs become bold
i was told as a child that i could do anything
i wrote love letters
dripping with hope
and what anything has turned into
is the spin of my tires
the pump of the breaks
and the motion
something is pushing me to run

i wave goodbye again
always leaving, always seeking
some strange jeweled sound
to where am i reaching
a machine? a songbird?
a soft warm hand to brush my cheek
and it's cries
what ancient language
is my sigh

can't you understand??
no ordinary man are you
