Blind Dates Lyrics by Pedestrian (anticon.)

Volume One: UnIndian Songs

0

On a Berkeley corner by Adam's old house
A tagger named Sigh knows what it's all about
An old blind beggar with a handwritten sign
Sitting Indian-style, further bending his spine
On my way to write, I’d wonder all the time:
Are we not a species of one-of-a-kinds?
These are the moments, frozen in amber
Written at random and signed by Brandon
Like falling in love in the locked cancer ward:
Loosely committed but routinely widowed
And wear my wounds like a western wall
Wears broken blinds over an open window
1. It's always life or death
On a blind date
All we can do: wear our lucky shirts
Corporation men
Sleeping on the train
Nervous in the elevators, people are the same
A book of baby names [is] put back on the rack:
There's nothing but regret
In checkout aisle number 2
Regrets are like strangers until they hit on you;
Cobwebs collect the dust
And then they stick to you
Stiff in the bucket are the dime store robots
Like dead goldfish, floating at the top
A grandfather's trailer in the great gray open
Pauses outside of a secondhand shop
It's divine amnesia and the time-lapse friends
Leaving yet again
The very living end
An Oakland freight whistles about one A.M.,
When and where a new scythe
Meets an old stem
Holes in the skyline the black coal will burn
‘Cause all the train songs are only four bars return
And like a missing nine on a neon price
“I watch for the power to run out on the moon”
Do humans really change
Like my mother's maiden name?
A divorce or two… and it's back again
White kids with tongues like tracing paper
Pairs of baggy pants and brand new walkman
Are still kids, like we used to be
And like stained glass
Will shine through
We're not party people
We're just animated puppets; you can even see the strings in our young face crutches
We're not party people
We're just animated puppets
And despite all these songs
Love is still tugging
The Laney swap meet (is in effect)
The E.L.F. (is in effect)
Corso (in effect)
Stepfathers (they’ in effect)
Roof man (in effect)
[etc.]
(We're not party people
We're just lonely on weekends
We're not party people
We're just lonely on birthdays
We're not party people
We're just lonely in big crowds
We're not party people
We're just lonely tonight…)
(I am not zen
I'm calm like a city killer with poison oak
Waiting patiently by the lake to be saved
By cutout friends who cutout
So cutout, so cutout…
Save yourself)
