Unpopular Music

Unpopular Music 

I want to tell you 
tell you a secret
you have to promise
not to hear it 

I’m in front of you 
with my emotions
under my clothes
I’m naked

I’m gonna play
unpopular music
I don’t want you
to sing along

I’m gonna play 
unpopular music 
don’t dance to it
you’ll break an arm

these young people
everywhere 
I love them 
in my own way 

I see them hurting
with questions
I know what they feel
but can’t explain 

how they need 
unpopular music 
to fill in lines 
without names 

how they sing
unpopular music 
it’s something 
they can’t explain 

just knowing 
needing to be knowing
something in the universe 
feels the same

You're My Shop

You're My Shop

I meet you behind closed doors
discover you walking the floor

see everything in you I want 
I know you're my shop

our relations have been constrained
now my credit limit's been raised

I love the weight of full bags
reminded of you in subway ads

the practical side of our love
Is displayed for the world to see

we fit like hand in glove
on sale for the winter season

the only relationship I have
Is the banter with your associates

I live on a planet made up
entirely of parking garages

Materialism

  Materialism   your culture is insane   you don’t know how to feel   killing people across the world   is a dirty deal   what you call comf...
