Just Looking

Merchandise
All yr advertised
Ample assets
So scantly clad that
I just couldn't buy it
Yet I hide
In a dark disguise
Now you can't see me
Or perhaps, maybe
You never tried to seek me
So when I
Leave without goodbye
I hope you realize
That's no big surprise

Utah Paul

The waves
Crashing and aerial
Somewhere, I know yr well
Ellipses to the girl with long hair
Out in Bellevue, using straws for air
But, hey
Paul's out in Utah
Good to hear yr safe at home, Ma

Why Were You So Frozen?

Why were you so frozen
In yr cornered icebox?
The new Cold King was chosen
You didn't show him nice thoughts
Then you soon came upward
From yr southern comfort
It seems his speech has stirred you
Or does it just deter you?

You can try to address
Yr vague sense of unrest
But ya can't debase
What's bigger than you
Well, maybe some people can
But not you
Sometimes it's better to just be
(Whatever that means)

Shmokes from Japan
02:25
|

With yr toes
Painted black
And yr nose
Colored white
And them cigarettes
That you bought in Japan
You broke 'em out
And placed one in the palm of my hand
And I was thinkin' about how that's all up in shmoke now
With yr faith
Displaced there
And them braids
Fixed firmly in yr red hair
And them beverages
That we left empty on the bench
You had a thirst
That they just simply could not quench
And I was thinkin' about how that's all hungover me now

And in the daylight
The ember that you had flicked away
Is still burnin'
Though it might be somewhat hard for you to say
I hope there's heroin in heaven
Sprawling from the rainbow
Heroin in heaven
And in the nighttime
The blazing light that you shine there
Is perturbin'
It's hard to answer you when you stare

No Fun Runnin' Secrets
03:43
|

And where was that truth
You summered subdued?
I've got a secret
Do you think you could keep it?
I don't know / I don't, no
And when I go a-knockin'
On an unlocked door
But it's just not fun fr you
If I will not run through yr hoops
Runnin' and runnin' around
Gets tiresome in this tired town
And one last time
Before you go on yr way

Shortman Sprout Los Angeles, California
Will the rock 'n' roll canon end?
Nah.
The spirit
always survives. As long as there's passion in the performances & in the pit, the spirit will survive. As long as it remains reverential, rather than referential. It's in yr honesty, yeah, yr honesty. Gaze upon the chimes of freedom. They're still flashin'. So to all the hot freaks, the jam kids, and the sons (and daughters) of no one: let's rock
