Molecules in the Dust Up

lyrics

Please, please there’s a target called love,
Within or without us, below or above us
Please, please there are TVs like buses
There are buses like TVs,
There is something from nothing
Please, please two stars collide in the black
Two birds fly out to sea, the sea awakes and flies back
Please, please the wind in the weeds is a flute
You and me well below laced together like a work boot

Please please you’ve got to learn to harness
All of your hopes to smoke in the furnace
Please please you’ve got to burn the wood good, man
Again and again, man, and everything, with no name

Please please the god you discovered in the forest
Is a slightly different imp than the imp running through the chorus
Please please the abyss at the end of your nose
Is a broken cry to a broken sky on a broken xylophone
Please please on the radio in the backroom
There’s a show about work called the breakroom will be broke soon
Please please zip the front of your coat,
Rub your ears in a hat, twist a scarf round your throat

Please please the hatchet in your hand seems directed at me
Or at least at the leather in my feather hatband
Please please the most desperate of hearts
wobbles through the air like a verboten lawn dart
please please shadows as tall as a fog
walk on hunches crawl in bunches, huffing like a lost dog
please please no more fences or moats
no more boats for the sailors, no more oceans full of boats

please please a man in a car travels far
off into the horizon, a single stitch on a single scar
please please Jesus ain’t here but if he were I bet
he’d like a moment or two alone with a lover, in the sunset
please please the buildings in New York
are digesting wine people and spitting out corks
please please the buildings on Mars
are digesting nothing worth noting but spitting out stars

about

Short Hand Muncie, Indiana

Short Hand figures that it's easier to learn to play an instrument than it is to find someone who can play it. He also figures that it's easier for him to do the writing, recording, mixing, artwork, and anything else that might need to be done. In the end, a set of sounds collect themselves into different shapes one might call "albums." Some sound like this and some sound like that. ... more
