Trout Fishing In America

Unwavering empire, old Hollywood
Juiceland canyon, feeling guilty and good
Bright shining skyline, on golden New York days
Pacific Ocean, manifest escape
Romantic visions and closing doors
Swept up in memories, but there’s no there anymore
Mississippi River at the end of the world
The cruel of summer, a life at war
Rain down on me
Days go falling backwards
Kool-Aid reality
Illuminate the night sky
Headlight high beams
Til days go falling backwards
A ghost is coming to tear us away
You’re keeping your head down on rattlesnake speedway
And you are waiting for
The right salvation on the wrong shores
Rain down on me
Days go falling backwards
Kool-Aid reality
Illuminate the night sky
Headlight high beams
Til days go falling backwards

Lousy Island

Got your face pressed to the past
A lousy island of dreams
In a long, lonely exile
Another fool, a would be king
Who never wanted anything
Who never wondered how it ends
It doesn’t matter
Not really now, not anymore
You would give anything
Say you are your enemy
A luminary, lonely ember
Sailing empty seas
There’s a red shift on the horizon
And it’s taking control of me
Asking only one thing
WIll it just leave me be
You’re out of sync
Gone too far
You’re out of dreams
Gone too far
You’re out of sync
Gone too far
I’m out of dreams
Gone too far

21st Century Ghost
03:37

A ghost is lightly tapping
At the 21st century’s walls
There’s an echo in the canyons
Everything rises and falls
At night in dreams of the ocean
You were landlocked til the age of twenty-three
Now waves rise up like mountains
And you push and you pull and you plead
So go stay just out of reach
You don’t want to feel anything
Again
Say somewhere there’s a valley
With winds that burn away time
You come back left with a reflection
It fades even now from your mind
Behind belief that good things are coming
Learned in red, white, and blue
You wander through seasons of shadow
And wonder what defines you
So go stay just out of reach
You don’t want to feel anything
Again
