Bill Callahan - Our Anniversary


Its our anniversary
I leave it ajar
And go outside
To look at the driveway stars


The crickets are chirping
They stop at my step
I stop my step
And they start up again


Its our anniversary and the bullfrogs
And everything that can sing is singing
its mating song


The soil is steaming
Grass is swooning
Guns or fireworks are popping
Down in the town
A woman is running
A man jumps up and down


Its our anniversary and youve hidden my keys
This is one anniversary youre spending with me


I slide in the front seat
The drivers side
To hotwire and hightail crosses my mind
But still in the driveway
Fixed like the stars


I flip on the headlights
And go back inside
The climates controlled
While the battery dies


Clipping the wings of your morning light


Its our anniversary
A celebration of
And heres to next year
Maybe youll join me in my car
We'll drive together
But not too far


We are far from flowers
Cut and dried
So let us thrive let us thrive
Let us thrive
Just like the weeds
We curse sometimes

Música para estes tristes tempos

Smog (Bill Callahan) - Rock Bottom Riser

I love my mother
I love my father
I love my sisters, too.
I bought this guitar
To pledge my love
To pledge my love to you.

I am a rock bottom riser
And I owe it all to you
I am a rock bottom riser
And I owe it all to you

I saw a gold ring
At the bottom of the river
Glinting at my foolish heart
So my foolish heart
Had to go diving
Diving, diving, diving
Into the murk

And from the bottom of the river
I looked up for the sun
Which had shattered in the water
And pieces were rained down
Like gold rings
That passed through my hands
As I thrashed and I grabbed
I started rising, rising, rising

I left my mother
I left my father
I left my sisters, too
I left them standing on the banks
And they pulled me out
Of this mighty, mighty, mighty river

I am a rock bottom riser
And I owe it all to you
I am a rock bottom riser
And I owe it all to you

I love my mother
I love my father
I love my sisters, too.
I bought this guitar
To pledge my love
To pledge my love to you
