in the ulcerating silence
perspective comes the way it always does
for it's ransom

so randomly, somebody calls,
the phone rings
and it brings Niagara Falls

at 3 o'clock in the morning
"you'd better be dyin'" and you were
so we talked about time and where it went,
unremarkable events,
and how one day took two days and they got spent

how you'd continue carefully in degrees
trying to do one true beautiful thing

and your beautiful thing
it'd be a beautiful thing
to see that beautiful thing continuing

"i don't live there, i just commute"
secretly cradling a joint and i might puke
a fumble with the keys, under duress
the point is, this is practised duress

"it's 3 o'clock in the morning,
you'd better be dying" and you were
so we talked about things and where they went
big remarkable events,
and how each day's a new day and they get spent

how you'd continue artfully like the breeze
trying to do one true beautiful thing

your beautiful thing
it'd be a beautiful thing
to see that beautiful thing continuing
your beautiful thing continuing

your beautiful thing
will be a beautiful thing
to me a beautiful thing continuing

your beautiful thing continuing
