lyrics

Jimmie's favorite night of the week is poetry on Tuesday nights.
His most recent love affair lasted briefly but without any fights.
His poems are based on fantasies about his next door neighbors' lives.
He says: "The more you think you've found clarity, the less you seem to get it right."

He adores that Cathy swore in the pieces that she shared last week.
He has a second home at the shore where he listens more than he speaks.
But now he's going on and on about how how to decode my little tragedies.
He says: "Karma's not a thing I endure," then he Googles different kinds of tea.

If my heart is a rising moon trapped under a world of clouds and thunder, his mind's like a vitamin, he'll say, "Just feel again. You can't ever lose, you can't ever win and only time will tell."

I'll stop over next Saturday night. He'll be synching his phone to his TV. He'll say, "You can't build trust without a little privacy." I"ll reply, "But when I'm dust I won't care how it felt in the sea." He'll be happy but he'll feign disgust and focus back on the tv.

Silent in the center (Ooh Jimmie), Desert, you do it right.
