What Is It This Time

written in the Lonesome Attic, Portland, Oregon

lyrics

What is it this time
What do you need from me now
Mouth half open again
What should I put in
You say you're like a kid again
But your lines are deep as ever

The way you take him
Is not so tender or delicate
Near to some river
Whose name I don't know
And the safety fence keeps me
From getting close

The waves are lazy
And the birds have left for
A better stretch of shore

Everything is fluttering
Hovering and eating
Mouth half-open now
Repeating
What is it what is it
What is it what is it
