lyrics

Keep a penny in your mouth
when you’re on your way out
of everything you’ve known,
where the world you built was grown.

I hope you don’t mind
I took a few of your lines.
Safe travels to you.
Safe travels to you,
John Q.

When you stroll into the amnesia
of the future where you leave your
marigolden dumpster dive
to play with the spider of an unknown life.

I hope you don’t mind
I took a few of your lines.
Safe travels to you.
Safe travels to you,
John Q.

Hard an orange forgotten in the basket,
light scurrying out of a closing casket,
the newborn sharp as knives in paring,
the songs of hammers sung despairing.

I hope you don’t mind
I took a few of your lines.
Safe travels to you.
Safe travels to you,
John Q.

Between your teeth truth big and small
glaring where that hammer falls,
beneath waves of sunset colored glass,
to take the breaths of now at last.

I hope you don’t mind
I took a few of your lines.
Safe travels to you.
Safe travels to you,
John Q.
