runes

the runes on your fingers make me think about the trees
and every time you smile I see lavender and bees
I don't know where we're going and I don't know what we'll see
but I know that I'm happy when you're lying next to me
you like my leather jacket and I like your muddy pants
and I like how you insist that when there's music we must dance
one day we biked to seward and it put me in a trance
I think you know the feeling when you see so many plants
we'll throw a folk punk festival and rowdy hardcore shows
our friends can eat spaghetti as midnight comes and goes
reading on the porch with you the orange sunset glows
the evening breeze is warming because now we've made a home
I turned the garden soil and we've got a load of seeds
lets grow some fucking vegetables for all our veggie needs
I don't know where we're going and I don't know what we'll see
but I know that I'm happy when you're lying next to me
I know that I'm happy when you're lying next to me

carrots and peas

sometimes love is a salad with so much random shit
I don't know quite how it'll make me feel
but at the end of the day my belly is content
with your sweet potatoes and kale
at least four maybe six potatoes did we steal
because that's how many fit in my coat
no one would have eaten them a goddamn prison kitchen
love the farmers fuck the cops that's how we role
when I hold your hand it's just like growing peas
a child again toes deep in the dirt
lets spend the day outside build a compost play with fire
I can sing but I don't know how to flirt
I never thought food erotic
but you make kale real hot
I met you in a garden bed
and though we didn't talk
I thought each day I saw you pulling weeds
that we would go together like carrots and peas

a moment
01:22

there's a moment every morning when I see you lying there
asleep beneath our blankets tangled in your hair
your face glows in the sunlight of the early morning sun
breathing soft as ripples a creek I hear it run
and I'll kiss you until you wake up
to meet your blue gray eyes
I'll kiss you until you wake up
I can picture your blue grey eyes
and I already miss them
your body bare and warming legs intwined in mine
I draw a little closer your hair still smells of pine
we left the window open I taste the dewy breeze
zucchinis in our garden growing as they please
and i kiss you until you wake up
to meet your blue gray eyes
I kiss you until you wake up
I can picture your blue grey eyes
and I already miss them
now the moment's past we dress and meet the day
can't wait until tomorrow that's all that I can say

friends

you helped me fix my bike today
the wheel it wasn't true
you said helping me it cheered you up
well that's what friends do
you play your uke along with me
and a little washboard too
we'll sing to each other at bedlam next week
because that's what friends do
some mornings you make coffee for me
others I brew for you
sharing dreams til we're late for work
because that's what friends do
you let me sit and cry with you
not something I've been able to do
you know I've had a lot of friends
but never a friend like you

romantic thing

honey bee you come with me and I would go with you
belgium france and germany with friends or just us two
the squats will host us graciously but forests still we find
I take a trail and sing along you know what's on my mind
we dance together everywhere, everywhere we go
I miss you ever show I see where I must dance alone
you like my friends and I like yours our friends are all we need
romantic thing a punk rock band just you wait and see
you said you felt things when I play I feel things when you speak
I'm thinking of you every day though you've only been gone a week
If music brings us closer we might just never part
I won't stop singing honey bee that's how I share my heart

you take me back to the forest running barefoot through the brush
so unfettered not a thorn dared to prick me
reading all through august just because I cared to read
I take in so much more with a summer breeze
you take me back to the river even though you've never been
we swim together in my mind there at dusk
won't you help me leave this city I'll bring my uke if you sing too
just the wind the crickets and us
you take me back
you take me back to childhood to dance without a care
when you move like that I can't take my eyes off you
my songs get more ridiculous and I know it's not the beer
nothing makes me feel more than your poems
no nothing makes me feel more than your poems
except maybe your lips
you take me back

true love
01:54
|
|||
|
we moved into your apartment though you only had one bed
shared everything the carrots weed and beer
kept the cds spinning listening to local jazz
because everything we need is right here
see camping on the tracks is fun
and scaring cops and shooting guns
won't you come away with me?
smash a bank or climb a tree
because nothing says true love like anarchy
then we found the murder mine for a veggie fueled resistance
kale and sweet potatoes every night
we'll build the revolution singing songs about our hair
fuck neighbors we won't stop until we die
she said make it irresistible so we sang til 2 am
so drunk there was a lot we didn't do
showed up at the youth jail and the cops arrested luke
for romance and the protest z went too
spent the day with legal team didn't even know his name
a comrade of pure passion life and music
the state won't know what hit them
smashed a bottle on it's head
and sing until the fire's down
burned all prisons to the ground
no more presidents or cops
all we really need is us
I don't care for monogamy
because I am fond of being free
and I'm in fucking love with all of you
it's hot that you don't need the state
or god to set the record straight
let's build a house and grow all our own food
because nothing says true love like anarchy
