Hat In The Wind

Lyrics

[Intro] It began in a school With a simple Mask Making Contest It took place Along these railroad tracks in a coal minors cart The very last american indians demo was playing on the system It was rap And then till we came to this foot path that every one was calling a dead cat And then My Job was to carry this big t-shirt box full of important hats for this dream girl That I would later wake and masturbate to It Goes into A path blocking my way with these table of abandon encyclopedia of mom And I stopped to go threw em and then in the corner of my eye i thought i saw a dead cat But it was just a wet rat And then I woke up [Bridge 1] Eyes open, I want to masturbate in a locker Eyes open, I want to masturbate in a locker [Verse 1] Your lover is at yoga, breaking a sweat While you shoot mid-morning coffee nerved on the front steps Pouring its slave labor likelihood all over your wounded lung Everyone's allowed to have these thoughts After all, this is the song where you sing "i am a drug addict" for eight bars It is a blessing to have rifle eyes in times of war One is lucky to go deaf over the course of one's life I love these legs In the speaking up and claiming of my projector It's a dancing fool moment happy taking the blame For all my hammer marks and dropped gavels And eyes open, i want to masturbate in a locked planetarium [Bridge 2] I am a drug addict, i am a drug addict, i am a drug addict I am a drug addict, i am a drug addict, i am a drug addict (I am a) I am a drug addict, i am a drug addict, i am a drug addict (I am a) [Interlude] Sometimes you can still see dead-end signs in my eyes I'm still burning the bones of my strong arm over my mother Never unclenching to the spoiled little stone in my skull to a sober I feel as though I thaw all day, everyday Someone from second grade well into his last set of teeth Waiting for help... [Verse 2] Will you, will you stay if i promise you eggs and glue And guns and birds and bread? Will you stay if i promise you eggs and things and yes and yes and yes I met a beggar who says he was famous And nowadays he only tells two jokes One about eagles, weasels, and jet engines The other a terrible one about a left-handed match Says the only thing you need on the skids is a hat Says he'd also pissed away a million dollars in his day Nowadays when i want to feel like a millionaire I just walk into a bank: so i stood in the bank, and started thinking While exact clocks spilled over into numbers of people Comfortably naming all 900 bones in their yesterday rhine Laughing in the face of so many black bags Luggage a natural melody to the fear poet I can admire the of an arrow all day But by no means am i one with smoking dust In a Roxborough graveyard or painting wasp nests shut For my slumlord in Cincinnati I'd rather run with piano open in my head Laughing with your hat in the wind Not at you [Outro] I'm not laughing at you but with you; hat in the wind
