've been away from you for awhile  but i still have your lipstick and you still got your style  i passed your house last thursday  crawling to the virgin mary shrine  the cherry trees looked thirsty  though cherries were divine  we used to conjugate at sunset  to study torah and tiger beat  put makeup over prayer sweat  while the sisters were discrete  oh lou, oh lou  i saw you at the disco, the count of grandma's crisco  oh lou, oh lou  with an 'i heart mom tattoo', in a pair of heels past due  and your sister's old tutu, painted heartbreak blue  you danced on all the tables  and made mary's out of men  in hotel lobbies and in stables  collecting ballpoint business pens  blue blue eyes, behind the counter all night selling pies, pies, pies  the neon light it brightly said 'pies are half price half past ten we like to see  you coming, come again'
2.
ets triple our sales,  i mean, lets hoist up our sales  for a course, on how to break the horse  calm weather holds  over cumberland tolls  a lip balm, bruised with cardamom  like a bear at a piano i fumble for your dress  some italian soprano sings your name and i am blessed  the constant shame of a urine stain, recalls me back to blue  and back to you  and i have had thoughts  that fall on the dots  around your nose, like indian marigolds  a quick summer read, sawdust memories  of when you had the flu  an open wound, from a rogue bassoon,  recalls me back to june  and back to you
3.
Piss Poor 03:10
we washed our bed in bones  and midnight tv tones  paused on telephones  with polished teenage groans  the sparks from where we sleep  a kiss from a chimney sweep  we would start a piss poor fire  from all-season chevy tires  and moan like the piano wires  of out of work umpires  and i, have felt the thaw, francois, coal black hair  and you, lips on the straw, au revoir, cold au pair

about

three new tracks to appease the masses. the first song, 'heartbreak blue', is dedicated to Stephen Quinlan: though he is not a french-man, cross-dresserl, disco dancing, mama's boy, he came to mind often while it was written.
