Skin

Who the hell are you to demand that I stand here
On some random corner in West Oakland and talk to you
And who the hell are you to accuse me of demonizing you
After all you put me through
And all that is left is the thin skin between us
And we each make a plan cuz we both want to feel it
But the love that is left is the thin skin between us
And who the hell am I writing over 300 letters
Undeserving of a reply
An who the hell am I to decide that things aren't better
After all this time
And all that is left is a thin string between us
And we each have a can, and we both want to listen
Cuz it's all we have left
Just this thin string between us
And we each have a can
And it sounds like shit.

Terminal Velocity

Rockets need ground support or they spin out of orbit
Satellites and space stations, engineers, brains and eyes
And when you're hurtling through the atmosphere
A thousand miles an hour
I'll dial you in and talk you down
Steady through that layer
And when you reach terminal velocity
Just let go of what's at stake
And the ground will rise to meet
The girl with glow worms in her wake
And when you're hurtling through the atmosphere
Ten thousand miles an hour
I will make a wish and see you
Steady through the shower
Steady girl...
Steady girl...
Steady girl.

Well the dog, he's got your backside
And the bar's across the door
'Cuz the devil comes a calling out of every 3 or 4
Do you ever think about me?
When the trees are all a-color
And the river's all a-roar
And you found a rock that's flat enough
for what you need it for
Do you ever think about me?
Well the boy's are all a-feather
And the girls are all a bore
And the man's a pile of ashes
And I saw you at the store
Do you ever think about me?
Well, his keys are on the table
And your dress is on the floor
And he'll love you 'cuz he's able
But he'll never love you more
Do you ever think about me?
