Panda Eye

Single shining star, I saw it out my first story window
Wrinkle left a scar on my furrowed brow
Can you tilt the sky? I'll do it as soon as I'm able
The foreign motions are so familiar now

The wind's a choir blowing la-dee-da
Homeless shuffling around the yard
Trying to find some change

How to fit the times? It certainly lies in the language
Just grind a couple anecdotes put 'em in the antidote it's a cure!
Swallow one and try to charm the pants off the heavens
And turn that shining star into a fireball

People watch cooing oohs and aahs
Angels hovering around the yard
Trying to find their halos

An old man with red eyes

An old man with red eyes
tired face tauter
the awkwardness of small talk gone serious.

only two only two
life's precious, you know
red eyes now redder.

The pain of seeing a old man cry, the world goes awry.

But business never stops
and I pay as he sobs at the counter
I am ashamed of my paying and her indifference.

He smokes outside
eyes still red.
seems to think:
Are you still a grandfather when the child dies?
