Paul Dempsey - Bats
Come rebuild your memory with a small mountain of burning leaves
And a swinging wire door that slams shut like a guillotine
Strum a note up in the wires
To send bats down the river, seagulls around spires
And shred all the twilight, scatter it city-wide
Those average angels
The drunken saints with heavy heads
They can keep dreaming, dreaming of sleep down the end of the bed

The Long Broken Arm Of Human Law
Now It Always Seemed Such A Waste
She Always Had A Pretty Face
So I Wondered How She Hung Around This Place
Hey,...
Did you intimidate her?
Her mother says you wouldn’t let her use the phone
Or were you intoxicated
Past the point of knowing what was going on
Better yet, don’t forget leave the keys on the t.v. set
Hoping you’re gone from the corner bar
