BRIEFCASE LIVING

morning cigarette on the stoop
Before the first siren crows
Straighten my tie and then realize
Time stopped moving so slow
Deadlines force me to my feet
Get on the subway before 9
Get dropped off in the thick of a city
Where I turn my water to wine

It's a cold jones
She's an old flame
Pushing my buttons
By saying my name
Stay on the gold
It's another misgiving
New sportcoat
Briefcase Living

Midday gotta meet for lunch
Cut another deal like a romance
American way a superman craze
Wall Street boogie and Brulee by chance
Mix up at the port authority
Just like that kegger at dover in 65
Pen runs dry in a sea of triplicate
Got to drink another one for sister Madeline

It's a cold jones
She's an old flame
Telling me a funky riddle
Like a rat race
Stay on the gold
It's another misgiving
Old sportcoat
Briefcase Living

If it were so easy everyone would do it
I used to have ideas at the old school when we had to prove it
By going to Frisco or Nam and finding love in the jungle
Now I'm stomping the concrete like a money hungry king Kong yet still I hunger
Where does it all go?

Evening falls like a guillotine
Manhattan is tight from the heat
Loosen my tie and take a load off
Look for something to eat
It's a TV dinner with me myself and I
Read Voltaire on the fire escape
She's a memory of what used to be
When it was fun to get into a scrape

It's a cold jones
She's an old flame
Telling me a funky riddle
Like a rat race
Stay on the gold
It's another misgiving
Old sportcoat
Briefcase Living
Slick my hair back
Easy affair
Take a taste of that new york air

CONEY ISLAND ALGEBRA

Living alone in a flat in the Bronx
Playing piano by TV light
Sipping old junior and sleeping in
Nowhere to go as I wring out the night
Phone rings it's the state department
Urgent message to go on the lam
Get word to ruby that I'm Cadillac bound
Poring over nude thoughts in Siam

Count backwards from ten
Asthma and corndogs
Coney Island algebra
Let's bathe in nostalgia
I'll be be back home
To fire up another parliament
Regale you in adventures
In the faithful zone

What are you drinking
It smells so divine
Like carbonated leather
Soaking in the good times
Distortion dinners and carson by Morse code
Makes a Delaware evening complete
Bombs away to the old folks at home
Silk sheets and magazines litter the streets

Count backwards from ten
Asthma and corndogs
Coney Island algebra
Let's bathe in nostalgia
I'll be be back home
To fire up another parliament
Regale you in adventures
In the faithful zone

Watch a movie and feel like I lived it
More popcorn and candy to fit in
Plugged in the cell phone so it gets ahead
Of my credits and razor sharp threads

Count backwards from ten
Asthma and corndogs
Coney Island algebra
Let's bathe in nostalgia
I'll be be back home
To fire up another parliament
Regale you in adventures
In the faithful zone

It's all in the bones
It's a limousine home
Dice roll

[Zerohero]

nice job... damn

I'm outta my league to even try and compete with all that.

OLD NIGHTINGALE

she was a backstreet princess
Pin up girl for philosophy professors
Gave up a cigarette and my parking permit
So she could get straight As and a wedding date
What a rough and tough world
Disguised by the scent of fresh bagels
Now and then I remember
Hide and seek on the causeway
A three mile island romance

Old
Nightingale
So fine
Used to be mine
Slang on AM
Do it up for Saturday night

She had soft hands full of false information
Lie detector and movie directors seek her frame
Eyes alight like a campfire on the borderline
To turn a good man into a hustler for good times
What a rough and tough world
Obscured by my consumerist lies
Here and there I remember
Snowball fights in Central Park
The Dakota looms on the high side

Old
Nightingale
So fine
Used to be mine
Slang on AM
Do it up for Saturday night

It's time to take my exams
Time to take another chance
One sip of espresso
Before I let her get away

Your Gold Teeth III

wow

[kevin hash]

IT'S AROUND

Scanning the old high school annual
Remembering my lost love
Her eyes still alight in the old black and white
She made a young man bad
Amused by the news
That she became a doctor at bellvue
Behind the professional demeanor
Is a viper ready to strike

I'm still that wayward boy
Ready to take my medicine
If she needs a night on the town
It's around

Reading the paper from last week
Figure out gossip I missed
Her name is splashed on the back pages
She makes this old man sad
Bemused by the news that she married a dude
We used to smoke with after school
He got himself together
And now he's running away with my long lost jewels

I'm just an clerk at the courthouse
Ready to drink my medicine
Want to speak Esperanto without sound
It's around
It's always around

Allen Is Up On It
Bad News In Spring
Hideout Blues
Where Does the Time Go?
Bus to Nowhere
Heard It In My Taxi

[kevin hash]

WHERE DOES THE TIME GO
sunrise on the coastline
a new day on the fault line
freedom beats and busy streets
enforcing dreamers to give up sleep
make a move as sunlight slashes the blinds
So not used to these California nights
getting into the pace of this health craze game
toss those wishes into the sky
I left rhode island behind

delaying instant gratification
light up the new sensation
Come on mama it's a new world clone
Hooked on cyber making my bones
Where does the time go

city comes alive and the smog is still here
permanent rent in monoxide manor my dear
My tan is really coming in since I settled in
Take my audi for a highway spin again
gotta bring the coconuts darling it's high time
lunch is a Speck on the waves in my lifeline
Let's make it under the overpass my love
California meetings fit like a silky glove
As the saxophone goes

delaying instant gratification
light up the new sensation
Come on mama it's a new world clone
Hooked on cyber making my bones
Where does the time go

I'm not in Delaware anymore
It's a new frontier out here
The love is faster easy to master
In the space age hemisphere
spring and summer hang out by the pier
My lover rolls up on skates and disappears
so much for Maryland
Fun is in style

delaying instant gratification
light up the new sensation
Come on mama it's a new world clone
Hooked on cyber making my bones
Where does the time go

CALL HER ANY ALIAS
she's going to hypnotize you my friend
you won't know exactly how or when it ends
Leave you behind in the midnight light
No traces to remind you to face to say goodbye to
She's gonna get on the first plane home
Is she from Boston or Tokyo
Call her at the number on the match book
See if she has time for a second look
Her voice is veiled in the static
tears are automatic

Call her any alias
She answers to them all
Use any lines you can
To get her back in your arms
Before Caligula falls

she's going to chew you up and spit you out
Like that weekend at Yasgur's farm
Leave you stranded at the motor in
No traces to remind you to face to say goodbye to
She's gonna get on the first plane back
Is she a model or is she a spy
Is she the bad apple of her father's eye
See if she has time to kiss in the fog
Her voice is veiled in the static
tears are automatic

Call her any alias
She answers to them all
Use any lines you can
To get her back in your arms
Before Caligula falls

Before you settle in for the night
Make sure the champagne is on ice
She said she's coming back to you
Is it really true?
She says her plane comes in at 2am
The taxi awaits to take her to you my man
But when you wake up at the crack of dawn
She never came back at all
The philosophy of one man's fall
Written in pen on a bathroom wall
Berlin is alive
Turkish coffee so fine
She used to be mine
Now she's lost in a Computerized night


Call her any alias
She answers to them all
Use any lines you can
To get her back in your arms
Before Caligula falls
