utilities.

i've been listening to "reunion tour" a lot, and john k samson is my life. so this song "utilities" my favorite right now and i thought i'd post it.

Got this feeling
That today doesn't like me.
Or the air tastes like
Flowers and paint.
There's a sink full
Of bottles and cutlery.
And the car
Has got a list of complaints.

I just wish I
Were a toothbrush,
Or a solder gun.
Make me something
Somebody can use.

We can wish on
The pop of a lightbulb.
Or those photos
Lying yellow and curled.
Loose in boxes
Near abandoned electronics.
In the corners of the basements
Of the world.

Guess our wishes
Don't do dishes,
Or brake repairs.
Make them something
Somebody could use.

Got a face full
Of ominous weather.
Smirking smile
Of a high pressure ridge.
Got more faults than
The state of California.
And the heart is a badly built bridge.

Seems the most I
Have to offer,
Doesn't offer much.
Make it something
Somebody could use.
Make this
Something somebody
Could use.
