lyrics

I bought a notebook and a pencil
And I brought them home and placed them on my table
And I hope to fix those pages up some day
But perhaps just for the night that's where they'll stay
I've got things to do, I've got a dinner to plan
I've go t a lover and she's so sweet
I hold her by the hand
And our heartbeats form polyrhythms
But the kinds we can understand
Oh, it's freeform, baby, there ain't no rules
It's a command performance

Well, I just can't wait for her to get off of work
Been feeling low all day, the answer's simple I'm sure
I've been getting high all morning
And listening to Birthday Blues again (give it a try)

Maybe we can talk about a book that she likes
Or I can try to remember the words to a poem I wrote in the 4th grade
We could decide the meal we've made is no good
But we'll eat it anyway
Oh, the permutations are limitless
It's a command performance

about

David Brown Bloomington, Indiana

Helicopters fly overhead. Cars rush by the window. Talkin' Neo-Nothing Blues. Escalators and hammering. A media grape-stomping.
