lyrics

common sense

left it all on the floor
nothing matters anymore
as sorrows go
it’s super slow

pinion pines and mother’s milk
start your own double bill
you ask for this
inheritance

* * *

scorch your sources
night is near
nothing’s close as it appears
you’re permanent
you’re in cement

wind yourself a figure 8
trained to move, you demonstrate
it’s reticence
it’s so immense

* * *

atmospherics, cattle calls
spend your pension
draw your straws
you’re innocent
until you’re spent

left it all on the floor
nothing matters anymore
as sorrows go
it’s super slow

* * *

about

John R Williamson Los Angeles, California

Named by T Bone Burnett as one who deserves the hall of fame (GQ Magazine, May 2006), Williamson writes with an ornate simplicity and sparseness that Paste Magazine described as an amalgam of Yo La Tengo and Thomas Merton.
