The Splendid World - Frontier Ruckus[00:00:00]

This year's robin's breast is not as red[00:00:12]

The entire nest is underfed[00:00:15]

Every bed I've made has broken down[00:00:19]

The AA meeting is letting out[00:00:26]

From the parking lot where my mother let me try out[00:00:29]

Driving my grandfather's car when I was just fourteen[00:00:32]

If the splendid world wants to end and rid us[00:00:39]

I wish it'd just get on with it and forbid us[00:00:42]

I can't keep track of what I own[00:00:46]

My brightest day was poisonous but agile[00:00:52]

And then you decay in a way so fragile[00:00:55]

In the sticky shade with an ice cream cone[00:00:59]

Whatever happened to the little sailboat[00:01:19]

We kept behind the shed but only once made float?[00:01:22]

I used to climb upon it onto the roof[00:01:25]

And now the earwigs climb the trashcan[00:01:32]

I figure I'll become a sort of watery man[00:01:36]

Pissing in my night backyard[00:01:39]

Distributing the proof[00:01:41]

You can keep a record of all your meals[00:01:46]

And the way that each day feels[00:01:49]

Safe and well-preserved in some hidden cavity[00:01:52]

But all your private and precious locales[00:01:59]

All your hidden heavens and all your pals[00:02:03]

Are gonna succumb to the brutal gravity[00:02:06]

Baby I know[00:02:11]

The splendid world is immune to flattery[00:02:26]

It burst me on the sidewalk like a run-over battery[00:02:29]

All my metallic innards come pooling out[00:02:33]

To try to name this is to be less famous[00:02:40]

If I were dumber and detestable I'd be more successful[00:02:43]

But on the sharp scorched grass there's nothing else to sing about[00:02:46]
