DO I FLIRT BEYOND FLICKERING EYELIDS

from MISCELLANEOUS SMALL SONGS by the Lambta Da's

/

lyrics

wandering from word to sound
wondering if its too loud
and why headphones with glasses hurt
am i just nice or do i flirt
...
the kids are sleeping sound
kissed my wife goodnight she's upstairs now
this house has got a hum
when nobodys speaking and the stairs are not creaking
i'm left to my own obscure devices
i see light beyond flickering eyelids
its a quarter now past one
i should go to sleep i'm not having fun
i am breathing heavly
but as i head for the stairs i think about my grey hairs
and figure how much longer do i have really
sleep can wait its much too early
shaking from coffee i thought
the tolerence that i've built up
would not affect me i was wrong
after half a pot now it is gone
...
the kids are sleeping sound
kissed my wife goodnight she's upstairs now
this house has got a hum
when nobodys speaking and the stairs are not creaking
i'm left to my own obscure devices
i see light beyond flickering eyelids
its a quarter now past three
i should be now fast asleep
instead of taking pills
and before things get to blurry i'm writing words in a hurry
i hope i find them in the morning
and see if they are worth recording
but it might not all make much sense
scrape paper and scribbled pen
scribbled brain from staying up
in the morning i'll be fucked
...

More than strength or richness there is an intensity, a sensation replete with freshness and firmness, which is remarkable. This deep and confident presence that persists over time becomes the memory of the music, possibly for always. ... more
