People We Love Doing Things We Hate Lyrics by Jimmy Gibson

Happiness and Cleanliness Are Unrealistic Standards Of Beauty

0

The streets are filled with tooth marks
The dancers legs are tied
Jakob’s in his singing words
“It’s just poetry” replied
The grass is brown and twisted
The statues are all changed
The town is on its corners
But it’s me who stays the same
It’s just Kafka selling oil
He’s got someplace else to be
Someone’s hooked on pins and needles
His lawyer’s in a tree
Josef’s selling property
Mary changed her name
This town is on it’s corners
But it’s me who stays the same
The lady with her watered locks
Spouts wisdom to herself
Against a joker’s megaphone
From his honourable shelf
Hemingway’s retired
His brother laughing in the rain
This town is on it’s corners
But it’s me stays the same
There’s women with everything cut short
Kissing Elvis in his bows
It’s not that there’s a difference
But they can keep you on your toes
Spanish dancers flood the parking lots
Hold back progress with their canes
This town is on its corners
But it’s me who stays the same
My easel has been shattered
The sun hides itself in shame
The wolves and old prime ministers
Have stolen all the blame
Darkness plays a razor’s act
Going back from whence it came
This town is on its corners
But it’s me who stays the same
The streets are lined with paper
And fifty dollar bills
They run from their volcanos
To the warmer side of hills
Kerouac, he must be laughing
Gives his roommate all the blame
This town is on its corners
But it’s me who stays the same
The devil is encircled
By hunger and despair
But vain he calls to me by name
Beneath his fearsome hair
But I am never worried
There is no way to rearrange
The town is burning down
And you were just a flame
