Tired Radio

Mind your pints and quarts she’d say

She gave me several warnings

I was Counting on her, but she was counting bad pennies

just don’t count on her in the morning


Play me the first song that you ever learned

On the guitar you stole from your old man

I’ll dance naked for you if you sing me a verse

And awake the child within

Moonlight defiant could never save her

from drowning in the swell

Of nappy locks and at least 4 bad decisions

And that salty Folly water swell


Mind your pints and quarts she’d say

She gave me several warnings

I was Counting on her, but she was counting bad pennies

just don’t count on her in the morning


Lost loves are distant echoes

In the substrates of our mind

A lesson learned, A stone unturned

A birthday card on time… every time

I was so lucky to have loved you

Even luckier you once loved me

I know you know you loved me first

But I’m still just another one of your bad pennies


Mind your pints and quarts she’d say

She gave me several warnings

I was Counting on her, but she was counting bad pennies

just don’t count on her in the morning

Bridge

I was Transcribing transcriptions frenetic and prose

Prose like a river while working a hot room

A Room full of women and a band of four underpaid men

Men Frankly Speaking in tongues to the moon

A moon sign a mystery a star sign a curse

cursing the death of the summer deep into the fall

Falling on deaf ears is the sounding of the pounding

The pounding of my neighbors against a bathroom wall

 

Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo against a bathroom wall

Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo against a bathroom wall

Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo against a bathroom wall

Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo against a bathroom wall

 

Mind your pints and quarts she’d say

She gave me several warnings

I was Counting on her, but she was counting bad pennies

just don’t count on her in the morning
