You know it, you know it's hard, what would you like in the place of of living in your own life now? And And all all your liberties fell down to the ground and Oh! how she's balancing! for you. You. You. I can't say it any more. You thought. You thought "no way" that I was gonna buy excuses, excuses always on your mind, and how, how can you say it? How can you say anything? What's more is how worthless this graciousness you're saying to yourself. And I know it. I know it's more time than you would like, but there is, there's someone sitting in your old life now and and a place where you'd be afraid of all that you could find and what's more is: What's more is you will never be there. (Why you don't ask me your problems.)

The door creaks now I'm not your sanctuary, am I? It's over today. It's like it was before. Safety, where have you gone? Why have you left me on my own? I'm caught up in this clock that keeps on polishing a stone because I love you. All time has stopped tonight. When will it end? Will it be tomorrow or will this hunchback of notre dame finally given up on making me borrow his robes? Enough. You act like you're so f**king tough, but you know I'm your friend, so why don't you pack it in? The floor creaks, the door creaks, it's 4am and I'm in love with your shadow imprisoned in my eyes. And all, all the seasons, they're tied around your waist. Infinite evolving patterns of reptilian lace. And all, all directions you told me not to face. And all these careful warnings that just go to waste. And all! And all! Don't try to be my friend. You're just what's under my skin.

If we knew other people to hold onto then would we know how many others we must let go? So as I grow I find the ones who I'd like to know And please please forget All of the pieces that I have set But when the time it comes your board is what I am walking from And she put her red dress on and she orbited the room and she soon withdrew from the presence of the fumes that were echoing from the mouths of everyone that she knew And I'm not sure what we could disagree about I feel you on the whole are on the up and up But if you cannot meet me in the middle and concede to give it all to me, then Then will I be forced to act a way I don't like For the sake of both of us Don't make me feel I'm so dangerous Because if you do I'm afraid I'll get carried away and I'll cause such a mess that the rest of the day I'll be tied to supply all that I cannot pay so please, don't leave it up to me Twice a week Marcus Aurelius He comes to speak We start out great but he ends up boasting about his slaves and if Ghengis Khan He comes this evening prepare to run And don't allow record collectors to slow you down. Because if they do, be afraid, they'll get carried away and they'll cause such a mess that the rest of the day they'll be tied to supply for what they cannot pay so please leave it up to me. In all her fairy tales Red Carpet Wedding to the prince of Wales But then white dress fatigue it made her sullen it made her weak.

Jack Frederick planted the seed and waterred the seed and picked the wheat and ground the wheat and made the flour and turned it to dough and baked the bread and now you can eat it.

He also played the guitar, tamborine, sampler, synthesizer, drums, accordion, and trombone. Then he recorded it and mixed it in Sunnyside, Queens.
