lyrics

I'm a wake that leaves a boat, dear.
I a thing that floats.
I’m a piece of silverware
The Ezra Pound you know.
If your life is fluted wrist bones,
If your life is cursed.
The life you lead is so much better
Than the life you don't.

And if in my whole life time
I never am good enough,
I've had the guts to change my luck,
It's not the luck to change enough.

I'm a telephone of love.
I am a plane of hope.
I'm the drug you never take.
I’m Edgar Allen Poe.
If the story in the dark
Is a piece of coal,
I am a raven in a shark,
A tooth that won't let go.

I'm a ghost of Sunday lore.
I'm the gin you drink.
I'm the water you've never had,
The hope that’s in the sink.
If your life is double takes,
If you life is single dreams.
The life you live is so much greater
Than the life you think.
