Our father who art in a penthouse[00:00:00]

Sits in his 37th floor suite[00:00:02]

And swivels to gaze down[00:00:05]

At the city he made me in[00:00:07]

He allows me to stand and[00:00:08]

Sollicit graffiti until[00:00:09]

He needs the land I stand on[00:00:10]

I in my darkened threshold[00:00:10]

Am pawing through my pockets[00:00:11]

The receipts the bus schedules[00:00:12]

The matchbook phone numbers[00:00:15]

The urgent napkin poems[00:00:17]

All of which laundering has rendered[00:00:18]

Pulpy and strange[00:00:20]

Loose change and a key[00:00:22]

Ask me[00:00:24]

Go ahead ask me if I care[00:00:24]

I got the answer here[00:00:27]

I wrote it down somewhere[00:00:28]

I just gotta find it[00:00:29]

I just gotta find it[00:00:31]

Somebody and their spraypaint got too close[00:00:34]

Somebody came on too heavy[00:00:36]

Now look at me made ugly[00:00:38]

By the drooling letters[00:00:39]

I was better off alone[00:00:41]

Ain't that the way it is[00:00:42]

They don't know the first thing[00:00:43]

But you don't know that[00:00:45]

Until they take the first swing[00:00:45]

My fingers are red and swollen from the cold[00:00:47]

I'm getting bold in my old age[00:00:49]

So go ahead try the door[00:00:50]

It doesn't matter anymore[00:00:52]

I know the weakhearted are strongwilled[00:00:54]

And we are being kept alive[00:00:56]

Until we're killed[00:00:57]

He's up there the ice[00:00:58]

Is clinking in his glass[00:01:00]

I don't ask[00:01:03]

I just empty my pockets and wait[00:01:04]

It's not fate[00:01:08]

It's just circumstance[00:01:09]

I don't fool myself with romance[00:01:11]

I just live[00:01:12]

Phone number to phone number[00:01:13]

Dusting them against my thighs[00:01:15]

In the warmth of my pockets[00:01:16]

Which whisper history incessantly[00:01:18]

Asking me[00:01:20]

Where were you[00:01:21]

I lower my eyes[00:01:22]

Wishing I could cry more[00:01:24]

And care less[00:01:25]

Yes it's true[00:01:27]

I was trying to love someone again[00:01:29]

I was caught caring[00:01:30]

Bearing weight[00:01:32]

But I love this city this state[00:01:33]

This country is too large[00:01:36]

And whoever's in charge up there[00:01:37]

Had better take the elevator down[00:01:39]

And put more than change in our cup[00:01:41]

Or else we[00:01:43]

Are coming[00:01:44]

Up[00:01:45]
