Our father who art in a penthouse sits in his 37th floor suite | |
And swivels to gaze down at the city he made me in | |
He allows me to stand and solicit graffiti until | |
He needs the land I stand on | |
I in my darkened threshold am pawing through my pockets | |
The receipts, the bus schedules, the matchbook phone numbers | |
The urgent napkin poems all of which laundering has rendered | |
Pulpy and strange, loose change and a key | |
Ask me, go ahead, ask me, go ahead, ask me | |
Go ahead, ask me if I care | |
I got the answer here, I wrote it down somewhere | |
I just gotta find it | |
Somebody and their spray paint got too close | |
Somebody came on too heavy | |
Now look at me made ugly by the drooling letters | |
I was better off alone, ain't that the way it is | |
They don't know the first thing but you don't know that | |
Until they take the first swing | |
My fingers are red and swollen from the cold | |
I'm getting bold in my old age | |
So go ahead, try the door, it doesn't matter anymore | |
I know the weak hearted are strong willed | |
And we are being kept alive | |
Until we're killed, he's up there | |
The, the ice is clinking in his glass | |
It's little pieces of paper | |
I don't ask | |
I just empty my pockets and wait | |
It's not fate, it's just circumstance | |
I don't fool myself with romance | |
I just live phone number to phone number | |
Dusting them against my thighs | |
In the warmth of my pockets | |
Which whisper history incessantly asking me, ‽Where were you?†| |
I lower my eyes wishing I could cry more | |
And care less, yes it's true | |
I was trying to love someone again | |
I was caught caring, bearing weight | |
But I love this city, this state this country is too large | |
And whoever's in charge | |
They better take the elevator down | |
And put more than change in our cup | |
Or else we are coming up |
Our father who art in a penthouse sits in his 37th floor suite | |
And swivels to gaze down at the city he made me in | |
He allows me to stand and solicit graffiti until | |
He needs the land I stand on | |

The receipts, the bus schedules, the matchbook phone numbers | |
The urgent napkin poems all of which laundering has rendered | |

Go ahead, ask me if I care | |

I just gotta find it | |
Somebody and their spray paint got too close | |
Somebody came on too heavy | |
Now look at me made ugly by the drooling letters | |
I was better off alone, ain' t that the way it is | |
They don' t know the first thing but you don' t know that | |
Until they take the first swing | |
My fingers are red and swollen from the cold | |
I' m getting bold in my old age | |
So go ahead, try the door, it doesn' t matter anymore | |
I know the weak hearted are strong willed | |
And we are being kept alive | |
Until we' re killed, he' s up there | |
