Something For Kate
Prick (single)

anchor yourself again
get your hooks in my side
identify who you’re with
why you’re there
everyone is your best friend
tell me again what you said
i’ve been beating your door down for something
but there’s nothing left
you look like you need some air
need some wide open space
need to stand up straight
i had a speech prepared
but now it’s too late
tell me it all over again
you’ve been calling out to someone
but there’s no one there
there’s no one there
there’s no one there
you can’t sell yourself to me
but you attach yourself to everything
a gesture moves around the room
buying and selling you
it leaves a stain in your head
and lines on the back of your neck
tell me again what you said
you’ve anchored yourself again
and everyone is your best friend
Prickly (Eli Janney Remix)

3 x 2
pray
wait for you
to come and fill this empty space
you will be one or the other
first star in the sky
a rock thrown into
into glassy waters
wait
anticipate
your arrival like an apparition
to test my faith
for the arrival of another day
patience i say
all will come to those who wait
to those who wait
we play
we play
we play
extended game of catch
you throw the ball to me
i catch it and throw it back
i like the way you move your arms when you throw
the ball goes higher now through the air
into my hands
patience i say
all will come to those who wait
to those who wait
if either of us drops the ball
likewise our spirits fall
we are both very good?
patience i say
all will come to those who wait
to those who wait
those who wait
those who wait
wait
Friendly
she gets lonely and picks up the phone
she says come on over, and leave me alone
we’ll do the friend thing
we’ll do the pretend thing
i can find the clues
use them how i choose
and if it sounds good
it can be my excuse
i can see your face from here
and i can hear your voice in both ears
and i can twist the truth
until i fit in here
if i give you the keys
will you crash it for me?
why don’t you tell me?
oh tell me
these nights we spent together
you can’t keep me tied up here forever
someone will find out in the end
you can’t keep looking over my shoulder, my friend
my friend
i dug this hole so i’ll get out of it
and if i can’t i’ll pretend to be proud of it
i’m using you as a means to an end
you can’t keep looking over my shoulder
my friend
