lyrics

THE SHAPE OF THE MACHINERY

at the end of the fever to win
something else surely begins
you run out of reasons to fight
something else surely alights

but seems just like every year's
an election year
as your temperatures settle and sigh
do you try?

from this far away all you see
is the shape of the machinery
how all those pistons should spin
will clear up the closer you're in

but you take such a wandering path
you don't do your math
so you hum and you muddle along
all those songs
that you will never write

is it you or the city that works?
you will not be sure
but your choice is to alphabetize
or to try
