where the seed grows

i heard nathan play his horn
i know the place where he was born
i know the mountain and the shore
i don’t go there anymore
they’re fighting a ground war
i heard the message in the drum
i know the places they come from
i hit the wind chime with my thumb
i thought it would give me some
i’ll wait for the wind to come
i can see what they have found
an open highway underground
the sky falls without a sound
i don‘t see anyone around
i think a new king’s been crowned
i want to find where the seed grows

we saw the crystals fade
on the promenade
our brothers dance and singing
hold my hand let’s go inside
let them stay here in the sun
behind the cabin door
a nightgown on the floor
the lighthouse throws a shadow
we saw the river flow inside
through her ribcage on the ground
we form a chapel with our hands
and things we’ll never understand
wonderland
the angels on parade
a twilight promenade
a yellow roman candle
a birthday gift for sarah’s son
a pyrotechnic display of love
a silver glove
the city rises from the sand
and things we’ll never understand
wonderland

video town

in the cars
our mouths are foaming
in the water i’m growing
and slowing down
all the sounds
the numbers are showing vaginas
and your son
with his red hair blowing
to find you
i never tried to find you
our hands
braced together like loving or praying
and the cat
in the sun she’s rolling
i don’t mind if these are not real things we’re holding
i want to be around you all the time in this video town

and the line for the door and the love
and the eight-minute sun and the love
hit me hard in my eyes and the love
hold the chord oh my lord and the love
and the line for the door

she’s an old man
she’s a black leather silver leather
and a suntan
and with a dog tag
and a silver and a bronze star
she’s an old man
she’s an old road
she’s a white line yellow line
and a windmill
and in a twin bed
she’s a mother and a father
she’s an old road
she’s an old dog
with a brown and a blue eye
and a short life
and in a cradle
in a white wagon red wagon
she’s an old dog
she’s an old plane
she’s a white line yellow line
and a windmill
and in a cradle
she’s low flying slow dying
she’s an old plane
she’s an old girl
she’s a white feather blue feather
ballerina
and in a cradle
she’s no crying slow dying
she’s an old girl
i found another kid for you
she was stranded in a family home
and every candle she ever blew
island animals a headstone
and the country wears a green disguise
and it’s spinning on the earth alone
and no filter to protect your eyes
island animals a headstone
i found another kid for you
she was stranded in a family home
and every woman that she ever blew
island animals a headstone
and the country wears a green disguise
and you’re spinning on the earth alone
and no filter to protect your eyes
island animals a headstone

winding on the run
dining on the sun
and i thought i saw your hair
i thought i saw you there
why do you think
i brought you to the brink
and i’m running through your veins
inside you when it rains
divided by the rule
the friend you made at school
and the summer ends too soon
and the sunshine filled the room

when our mind died
she found her son
she brought us home
in the bright sky
we heard her song
at the red sign
she saw our face
she stopped a train
on the fine line
she held our head
she touched our head
she brought us home
in a gold mine
her words came down
she held us down
the sister our father knew
the sinister ingénue
and the scarecrow fingers in the light
never learned how to walk okay
and she said that we would someday
come and get it
and the animal battlefield
and we stood where our father kneeled
tipping radio towers in the night
when our feet in the gravel heal
and like regular people feel
come and get it
and the velvet stone on our dress
and our lesbian nakedness
and we’re pouring salt on all our sins
and a hand with three fingers left
and a kind and a gentle death
come and get it
and our cannibal wedding song
and we won’t be alone for long
we’re holding our hand out in the dark
and we’ll signal the working girl
and she’ll pin our tail on the world
come and get it
i can tell when you’re there alone
and we’re counting the chromosomes
and she’ll fold them all up inside her love
she can see you there
i see you there
she sees you there
she can see us

find me in the farmhouse
comb your hair for me
find me in the farmhouse
stop so i can see
river in reverse
silent universe
and all the northern sunshine
i’ll call her when you’re gone
and rising with the moonshine
we’ll sing a pirate song
river in reverse
silent in the spring
comb your hair for me
you never heard me sing
i’ll find you again
and the snow will melt someday
and we’ll fill up with the sound
and flood our fear away
