lyrics

SENSELESS (for Frankie)

ya just left town how many months ago
psyched to be off on a dream ride
not a suicide note
not this time
not time time

senseless
senseless

redwood trees lifting your eyes
needles under yr feet
heroine habit like a false god
hey, ya just read about it
ya like to read
ya like to read

senseless
senseless

don’t go in that door
don’t climb up them stairs
why can’t ya hear us yellin at you
when the darkness fell
we should a been there
we should a been

oxhaca guitar over your shoulder
bent like a broken arm
dead silent ya sit in the corner til yr asked to talk
just ask me

senseless
senseless

spilling the beans like a bean stalk
a skinny guy with a skinny walk
walkin like a poetry
walk like jim carroll
ya wanna read my diary
i like t read
i like t read

senseless
senseless

don’t go in that door
don’t climb up them stairs
why can’t ya hear us yellin at you
when the darkness fell
we should a been there
we should a been
should a been
senseless
should a been
senseless
should a been
senseless
senseless
senseless
