lyrics

Yellow Daisies & Dusty Brains

Sobering
in this teetering hammock
in a stand of red pines.
And their scents are mixed with suntan lotion’s
that you helped me to apply.

If not for you,.
If not for you my skin would peel off.
It would peel off.

Brimming,
outside once was.
Now it’s clearly dimming,
else I’ve lost my mind.
Let’s climb these trees,
I hope I see you.
No! I know I’ll see you
at the top.

Waving at me clearly.
Waving at me dearly, clearly.

And if there’s nothing left,
God damn right!
We made the best of this life.
If the world is gone,
our matter simply shifting on,
I’ll trust my soul to retain
the memories of your eyes like yellow daisies.

The rest is crumbling.
I hear some of the best of us grumbling,
“Where did my time go?”
But we know.

We’re just a couple of dusty brains,
floatin’ in tandem, out in outer space.

Abe Maybe Hamtramck, Michigan

In 1984, before our two earths were unjoined; our timelines shared a history when a mystery rift in our time and space did ope' and out of nowhere emerged this race: a collective of disembodied space-born brains.
