2 Kweens 03:03
Two queens from different worlds Evergreen and flowers in their daze Too fierce and different girls Never seen inside the caveman gaze In the Shadow of a wall of sound Still my heart and shake the ground She can see behind herself Hazel eyed patina, golden brown Teachers of uncommon sense And Poetry and Providence Own your shit at your expense Burn a bridge or mend a fence Washed out in the sprawl of sound Fill my heart and take the crown She's as strong as 7 men Lift a bus right off the ground 2 queens in a dreamers' dream Saw her on a TV screen Atom heart and bright white heat North Star in a diamond sea

When I found my demolition queen Shook me from a sleepless dream Took our chances in a dirt poor dive Caution like a kite in a category five Seasons of sentiment left in the Stanzas Yesterday's gone, No second glances Punchlines and poverty, laugh at our chances, Dreams slip away, and get caught in the branches 32 days and a winter heart thaws Lay down the lamb in the dead lions jaws throw out the songbooks since time out of mind Fools need an April day dawning to shine

I know I earned the title, From foot in mouth recitals "Your bigmouth laureate" I'll wind up sorry for it Numbered days that came and went, Somehow without incident, fewer now and far between For a low rent Libertine Stumble over the line Mark it zero again One more time Keeping stock of the love I lost, The cost of honesty Hearts crossed and frost is on the flowers promised me Cast them to the void of memories erased The graves I made for hopes that I might ever change Stumble over the line Mark it zero again One more time

Though the details escape me O my brothers please don't wake me Let me be in a place to dream Until it's time to cut this scene Seasons freeze and thaw and burn Stubborn hearts will never learn Despite Diminishing returns We're Still kicking in the dirt Look at all we put Behind us Down there in the dirt and grime A golden age, that never shined, Never could have changed our minds Dig for diamonds dig for words The dog years died faster than I preferred Sink your heart, lift your voice Sing your way though the void

Seance 3 02:55
Crooked miles Coded correspondence Set the table, for the seances You know the words that went unread You heard the things that I never said Stack up the losses in the dead letter office Reach down, lift me with your phantom limb Closer still, dimly shine on my window sill Fading out, no more time to kill Words on wings, with blackened quills Stack up the losses, in the dead letter office

"Seance 1" may have E-bow contributions by Andy Kerr. That song was recorded in an apartment on Mont Royal in 2008 on a Tascam 4-track tape machine, and frankly, the memory is a bit fuzzy.
