about

From Soft Plastics' album 5 Dreams from Paper Bag Records 2020.

lyrics

I pay no heed to the signs

At least the ones that don’t float

I hid the body in Rome

And jacked up the legs under my body of work

I need a backpack of rope

To jack my paintings in trees

Dark umber visions of foul gluttony

Flickering fires are floating in the fens

These are not visions of hope

Still, man, I try to be better than

Devotional poetry

Seven quick knocks and you will know that it’s me

I come from over the sea

But only floating angels can float over our sea

Howling that the children have been seen

Raiders raid the salons and the salons are steamed

Roll on, you band of free

Flickering fires floating in the fens

These are not visions of hope

Still man, the same as it ever was

Distress in my chest, the same as it ever was

There’s distress in my chest

But try to be better than

The falconer’s mom (or)

The falconer’s arm

But still you can’t always run from the freeze

But you can’t always count on the breeze

A prom is a dance only for teens

And you should always, always, try and get ahead of the freeze

To the falconer’s sweet mom

I say, “flee from harm”
