1.Audience
Sunday nights that you wanna
Black velvet cake
Sweet heart can bargain
Half price mistakes
She will go down with her ship
Like a good captain
You're sitting on the dock
Playing for an audience of one
Pacing your apartment
Linoleum floors
Get a call from an old friend
She never like them before
He will drive all over three lanes
You sit tight, shotgun
When she rifles
Waving for an audience of one
You came out from the country
Wearing momma's clothes
You were born in the city
Daddy's dominos
You need a record you can move to
Well we got one
Drop the needle
We are playing for an audience of one
Drop the needle
We are playing for an audience of one
One gets all of you twos jealous
Three get even less
Four divides you up then you're left
Pleasing all your guests
Reach out you point a finger
And touch the globe
Spin around and where it stops
You've got to pack your bags and go
Land in the Mohave Desert
Sing for the sun
Three's too many when you're playing for an audience of one
Two's too busy when you're playing for an audience of one
One is the only way
Playing for an audience of one
2.Coffee Spoon
I can argue with the mime
I can argue with the mime
he is reading me the riot act
every line
every lawyer in his prime
every lawyer in his prime
gets nostalgic for the bar's
naivete to crime
ascetics wring their hands
this decadent misuse
inside my china room
you are my coffee spoon
my indulgence is a joke
and while everybody laughs
I'm clipping coupons
and saving my breath
I was celebrating Lent
with a candle in a tent
when you came and snatched me up
out of retirement
now I'm buying finer clothes
in department store windows
throwing credit cards down
never raise my voice
3.Santa Ana Winds
I got the roof tied tight
Shiny buildings peak
The LA river swims
Snorkels and knees
Seatbelt sticks in the poison heat
My pores are opening
Making headlines again
Santa Anna Winds
Making headlines again
Santa headlines
Take the elevator to the Getty's highest place
See the cliffs fall to the sea
Do an about face
Easter on Olvera Street
Girls nursing new babies in alleyways
In between is a basin like the great divide
Where the 110 swallow the 105
Chutes and ladders leaving no where I begun
Like Joan Didion
Making headlines again
Santa Anna Winds
Making headlines again
Santa Anna Winds
Making headlines again
Santa Anna Winds
Making headlines again
Santa Anna Winds
You tore me up by the roots and fell silent again
My seeds have blown around but never land
You tore me up by the roots and fell silent again
My seeds have blown around but never land

Got this idea in my head and I can't get it out
That all the money in the mint couldn't water a drought.
I'm piling treasures up on earth.
What you keep and what you take.
Property, vanity, even knowledge for knowledge sake.

The fat lady always claps her hands

Say it even if you're robbing from the poor
Lord have mercy on me
I believe the words will change the heart
The words will change the heart
The words will change the heart
The words will change the heart
