"Oh, get him out of there!" What if it cost 25 cents to wake up in the morning? A dollar, ten dollars? He'd pay it all the way to the poor house It's not made if it's in Roanoke Okay, here it comes, night He's pulling up in front of our house like a bus Came at me with shears Her sweater had faces all over it, famous faces knitted all over it The porch swing ticked off Central Daylight time "How many hours do you think it'll take me to smoke this cigarette?" she said with a smile The smell of fried foods came drifting out one of the castle windows "Let's go around back," I said "My brother buried some stuff back there" We ducked down and walked through the black bushes My shoe made a sucking sound in the turf "He can afford anything," I said "He's got dogs that blow on trumpets" "Priests!" she cussed Thunder cracks over Ben Franklin's shop Who wrapped my dreams in a blanket and led them outside to the black book in the yard? This river leads right up to the party How do you like my little boat? This is the way the pioneers took to other settlements We'll be there in ten minutes You can see the lanterns from here When we get there, we'll go upstairs and make free long-distance phone-calls "Hey, what Indian tribe occupied southern California? They were a lucky bunch of fellers!" Sting Bible, More Sea Bible, Knur & Spell In moments downhill, in moments downhill Towards sleep in the Stillwater shop Imagining places I was almost sure I'd never been And had taken to assuming were the memories of my grandfather somehow deposited in my mind They were there and gone Just before I could get my bearings Catch any names or find out where the hotel was She piled up glass shavings that could not Ever be reassembled into the gone order of buildings and the shade pouring off of 'em "Water!"
