lyrics

What holds that drum in your head?
and that pain in your eyelids?
makes you flutter
in these lead-belly’d hills
these streets, these pearls
my teeth taught the enamel to sleep
cover the stain
what religion covers the stain?
seltzer won’t get it out

notice my foot stomping
notice the smooth in-between
pink scarfed wearing cowboy poem
whistle by and mourn, mourn mourn
mourn the loss of your soul
you’re not depressed - just in a perpetual bad mood
just a conditional gloom
parallel to the state of things
but you are not your state of mind today
your valentine won’t go away
