saw silver mt. zion last nite and it was really really great. plus got to hang out with hw and various others.

thought about a list of a few things. one of which was reasons why i like the mountain goats album the sunset tree. the list became song titles, then parts from the songs, then all the lyrics...

hast thou considered the tetrapod?

you are sleeping off your demons
when i come home.
spittle bubbling at your lips,
fine white foam.
i am young and i am good.
it's a hot southern california day.
if i wake you up,
there will be hell to pay.
and alone in my room i am the last of a lost civilization
and i vanish into the dark
and rise above my station.
rise above my station.

but i do wake you up and when i do
you blaze down the hall and you scream.
i'm in my room with the headphones on
deep in the dream chamber
and then i'm awake and i'm guarding my face
hoping you don't break my stereo
because it's the one thing that i couldn't live without
so i think about that,
and then i sort of black out.
held under these smothering waves
by your strong and thick-veined hand
but one of these days
i'm gonna wriggle up on my land.

i dont know what happened to today
i feel ill but am still home late
walked home on flower petals
under a near full moon
clouds like smeared adidas logos
and crustaceans
it wasnt some sort of
symbol
it was just something
that happens every day.

nite.
