Thanks for Nothing

been a long time since i spoke your name
i think i'm gonna need a little faith tonight
when the trouble comes, when the trouble comes
people tend to disappear from sight
thanks for nothing and fuck you too
i should have known better than to call on you, god

the tunnel came up on the outside
we made a path to the mainline
climbed aboard an open boxcar
filled with cannonballs and paper knives
wearing lion tamer costumes
cleaning up after the goats
hanging out with the magicians
seeing if he'll show us the ropes
and when he's asleep
sneak into his trunk
try to find that book
that he stole from the monks

i offer up what's been offered to me
i only say what i've seen
sun turn over another gear
in the slow sweet vine of my heart
the truth is told by a blackbird calling
finds the seeds at my feet
sun turn over another gear
in the slow sweet vine of my heart
there's another one sleeping
he's drunk on his wine
we've got the sure darkness
to uncover the night
who's been building these stages
who's been writing these plays
who's been calling the casting director
and catering to what she says
fire in the hole, take the shot
fire in the hole, feed the real
fire in the hole, one more battle
fire in the hole, i hope to steal

what's the number i'm thinking of
come on, guess
that isn't real, it's real good
that isn't fine, it's so fine
take my word, it's good for you
twice a day and you never look behind
you've got to understand
it's out of my hands

That's called Jawa, it was a wild dog. I don't know how the hell and, ah, this dog used to go up, back and forth between my brother's house and my house, and ah, he, the dog was a tremendous dog. It could dive under water, swim under water, I'd go swimming with that damn dog and they'd be putting in a net and the dog would go down there and swim up and look the guys working in the net under water and he'd look them right in their eyes, you know, amazing. It was a wild dog. I don't know how the hell. Well, after my wife died this dog took care of me and make me go to the beach. It would just insist and I'd go and he wanted to go to this beach by the lighthouse there and it was deserted, m very few people down there during the day, go find a great big palm frond and drag it over to me and want me to throw it in the water so it could go and get it. Well there was a long, this is that lighthouse by the tip of Diamondhead, okay, a big long place where the water is about that deep and then it drops off. Well, i'd carry, make the dog sit on the shore and I'd walk out with this goddamn palm frond, this great big long bastard and then just barely get it out as far as I could get it and I'd go back and sit on the beach. "Okay, dog get it." And that dog would run out and have it's mouth down, the water would be squirting like this out of the side of it, get to the drop, jump like that out and then grab the palm frond and pull it in. You know, swim in with this goddamn palm frond, that dog would swim you wouldn't believe it, drag it all the way in and pull it up in the sand. Now, it's over to there and then start digging a hole and bury this goddamn palm frond. I remember, who the hell, ah, the singer, Nabors, Jim Nabors, he had a house down that side of Diamondhead and he came walking along and watched that performance one time. It broke him up.

stuck in the basement with a bucket of night
to give away to the crickets
stealing time on a cricket wing
house up and down the alley
are noisy with belief
like a kind with his penny
and a crowd without rest
now don't come looking 'round here
bringing up your spirits every time
they whisper strange nothings
that sound like a promise
but end up another crime
here we go
here we go then
we can't afford to wait another day
to give away
like a king with his penny
or a dog with his fight
