boatman
THE TIGER LILLIES

the boatman sits on his boat by the river
try as he might, he cannot forgive her
as he watches the corpse turning blue
he laughs

…

somersault
I GOT YOU ON TAPE

and i never drank alcohol
and i never got high
it was the end of a hundred years
that took me by surprise

…

i am shy and mysterious
when i say my goodbyes
when i part with the ones
i’ve come to love throughout my life

…

starman
DAVID BOWIE

… there’s a starman waiting in the sky
he’d like to come and meet us
but he thinks he’d blow our minds
there’s a starman waiting in the sky
he’s told us not to blow it
‘cause he knows it’s all worthwhile
he told me
let the children lose it
let the children use it
let all the children boogie…

… the starman is gone

little drop of poison
TOM WAITS

i like my town with a little drop of poison
nobody knows they’re lining up to go insane
i’m all alone
i smoke my friends down to the filter
but i feel much cleaner after it rains

and she left in the fall
that’s her picture on the wall
she always had that little drop of poison
