Everybody Loves You

Everybody thinks when they're buying you drinks
That you're their favorite girl
Ask you to dance but they don't stand a chance
To be one part of your whole world 'cause
Everybody loves you, they all ask you to dance
Everybody loves you, but they don't stand a —
Now, we've got our wings, we are flying
(Nothing keeps us down)
We've cut the binding strings that keep us
Down upon the ground
Maybe today if he slaves away, she will notice his charm
But no tall drink or layaway mink will be enough to cause her harm

Beautiful morning, kiss you good-bye
Subway stop about a quarter to nine
You go your way, I go mine
I’ll see you later, I’ll see you later
Concrete crumble, dusted beams
Hoary tears outside the seams
I saw it happen, they made it happen
Now they blame it on the wrong guy
They blame it on the wrong guy
They blame it on the Fall Guy
They just said so, why would they lie?
They own the story, don’t even

First Date

First date, cut rate. Antsy from wondering
Will she, be free? Will he be charming?
What’s your home town? He says from Reno.
She strips for tips. He deals Casino.
Drinks, dining, dancing. Winks, whining, prancing.
He cops a quick feel. She hopes it’s for real
First date, first date, whoa oh oh la la.
First date, first date, oh ah ah na na .
First date, first date. Drinks with umbrellas.
She checks his pects. He tries to smell her.
Should she be strong if they get along?
Should the hot tub wait until the second date
She’s scared, but prepared: collagen injection
He’s brought (forethought) a Speedo and protection
Fun, fun, fun for a girl and a boy
A Trojan and Helen of Troy
Love and perfume in the air
Pain and Rogaine and despair

Summer Jobs

Let’s get summer jobs, unlike all those slobs
Living with Mom and Dad, air-conditioned sad.
You’ll get one tending grounds,
I can drive old people around
It’ll only be for a while,
and we can live hand to mouth in style
“Wouldn’t it be great to co-habitate
Then we wouldn’t have to wait at all.”
We could pay the rent through summer weather,
Say good night for three months and stay together
I’m pretty good with my hands,
Let’s build on shifting sands
You wait tables, I’ll drink for free
I’ll clean stables and sell the TV
I’ll take a shift at Taco Hell,
swim at the quarry to hide the smell
You could be a StarB. barista,
you could be a Sandanista
And we can live on love
And we can live on dreams
We can sleep on incantations
Instead of roses -- cheap carnations

Save Yourselves!
by Arthur Winer

Her perfect dive into the water
She emerged like Neptune's daughter
Soaking wet, despite a cap with flowers
Cleansed and clairvoyant. She says:
Save yourselves! Save yourselves!
Now she sees the future and she hears the past.
She feels the present, and she speaks at last. She says:
The water's black, and it tastes like blood.
The skies are red, and they smell like sulfur.
And the nights are so long, they run together.
And the trees are yellow, and the earth is cracked.
So save yourselves!
Save yourselves from the sinners!
The world's gonna end in about ten minutes
And it's not by Fire, and it's not by Flood
Not by Earthquake, Tsunami, or Asteroid
It's from…

On Carroll Street
Words and music by Arthur Winer
© 2014 Canaveral Skies Music (ASCAP)
She’s bored, she’s beautiful
And if there is nothing to do she’s dutiful
She’s tired, maybe half-dead
She may not even notice that you’re in her bed
Lights shine all the time on Carroll Street
(Christmas starts on Fourth of July)
Garden clementines on Carroll
One time burned, ten times shy
She’s green, tends to forget
And when he has made his play she’s soaking wet
But small, behind her hazel eyes
She can see through his thick disguise
And when we meet
It is mulled-wine sweet
On Carroll

Weightless and falling
Answer and calling
When will the falling end?
When will I see you again?
How will this falling end?
When will I see you again?
