TOIL IS

toil is
been attracted to you now for years
working down in the soil when
the men make you bolt like a new deer
toil is
you've been making a good gathering
got your frame in the papers
have you thinking of Washington
toil is
toil is
toil is
toil is
when you have all the good things happen
feeling strained from the pain
of having to act so interested
toil is
on your back in a holiday inn
heard you came in a shudder
while watching television
toil is
toil is
toil is
toil is

THEN WHAT

loving always weighted me down
fighting always gave me a crown
you're hammered all the time
didn't mean much of anything
forgetting in the heart of the time
rules were yours and which were mine
save the time, cut the line
didn't mean much of anything
oftentimes, remembering nights
spent a lot of time under the sun
we did a lot of talking that day
didn't mean much of anything

I hadn't checked on you for a long time
we drove to Pittsburgh
for a Serotonin* show
our journey seemed like you could talk to me
now I'm feeling like I'm seven years old
now I'm feeling like I'm seven years old
we did a 'zine
and polaroids on the mirror
why to live was getting clearer -
OLY -> PDX by letter
now i'm feeling like i'm seven years old
now i'm feeling like i'm seven years old

STARS

Thought is a full time job
I'm alright
Handed in all my stars
I'm alright
Saw you all alone in a bar
I'm alright
Loaded in the seat of your car
I'm alright
Carry me to my star
Carry me to my star
Carry me to my star
I'm alright
Carry me to my star
Carry me to my star
Carry me to my star
You're alright
Landed a part-time job
I'm alright
Bottom of a bottle at times
I'm alright
I still recall the old screen door
I'm alright
I never knew what your needles were for
I'm alright
Carry me to my star
Carry me to my star
Carry me to my star
I'm alright
