Leave the music on

 Leave the music on


Leave the music on 

it keeps ghosts away 


the right ones will stay 

and the dialogue continues 

after we’re gone 


Leave the music on 

my mom always did 


it reminded her 

of a symphony and kids 

and the rhythms of rain 


we’ll play these songs 

more than twice 

nostalgia cutting us 

another thick slice 


vibrations moving 

time through the night 

making lives glide 

to our next destination in style 


Leave the music on 

that’s how I sleep

Roxy Music soundtracking

my dreams 


between Sundays and Mondays 

I hear the voice of Mister Reed’s 

insomniac lullabies 

whispering me back to sleep

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months

  Mayor McGuffin We are products of our times  these thoughts aren’t mine  everything passes through us  from sewers to the divine  I vibe on your signal  you wave you particle  merge into a molecule  divide for reaction deaf dumb and blind  slaves to the grind  compressed coal hearts  exploited diamond mines we see through the veil  dancing snake-tailed  impatient for the end  skipping enlightenment  I drive this carcass  despite warnings  from weather service  to deliver you a package
