when all that's left to do is
reflect on what's been done this is where sadness breaths the sadness of everyone just like when the guys built the dam at otter creek and all the water backed up deep enough to dive we took the dead man in sheets to the river flanked by love deep enough to dive deep enough to dive be here now we took him there and three in a stretcher made from trees that had passed in the storm leave the hearse behind to leave the curse be here now |

and measure these things by your brains I sank into Eden with you alone in the church by and by I'll read to you here, save your eyes you'll need them, your boat is at sea your anchor is up, you've been swept away and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate I alone love you I alone tempt you I alone love you fear is not the end of this! it's easier not to be great and measure these things by your eyes we long to be here by his resolve alone in the church by and by to cradle the baby in space and leave you there by yourself chained to fate oh, now, we took it back too far, only love can save us now, all these riddles that you burn all come runnin' back to you, all these rhythms that you hide only love can save us now, all these riddles that you burn yeah, yeah, yeah |

I liked the way my hand looked on your head
in the presence of my knuckles but the beauty of this vision alone just like yesterday's sunset has been perverted by the sentimental and mistaken for love the felix of your truth will always break it and the iris of your eye will always shake it and the armies, the armies I have created will always hate it will always bait you on I liked the way my hand looked on your head in the presence of my struggle but the beauty of this vision alone I can't shake from my tree just yet it keeps invading all my private moments listen to me now |

lightning crashes, a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor the angel opens her eyes the confusion sets in before the doctor can even close the door lightning crashes, an old mother dies her intentions fall to the floor the angel closes her eyes the confusion that was hers belongs now, to the baby down the hall *oh now feel it comin' back again like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind forces pullin' from the center of the earth again I can feel it. lightning crashes, a new mother cries this moment she's been waiting for the angel opens her eyes pale blue colored iris, presents the circle and puts the glory out to hide, hide * Repeat I can feel it~ ah oh~ ah oh oo aha ha~ * Repeat(x3) I can feel it~ |

in the moment I was losing my head
readin' too much and losin' my head and I was reachin' forward, I was already there readin' too much and losin' my head this information caused a cut in the line now I'm remembering God and readin' too much it's so nice the print is smaller than the ants in the grass I'll have to put it away now in the morning there are things to be read, words to be said, and food to be fed, but I won't be there. I'll be clutchin' on a megaphone pointed at my head, would you be there, would you kindly, read this word for word so loud and clear, I can't remember it all, it needs to be clear, I tell you, if the feeling drops out of your voice, would you kindly pick it up this is how, I'll go out tonight dressed in blue, by the book tonight this is how, I'll go out tonight but I don't need a book. we're talkin' anchors, talkin' ships, we're talkin' seas, we're talkin' everything you need you should be workin' now, not only askin' how and the whereabouts of where you'll be. I don't suspect you will be thinking when the brain is dead and the mind has taken over, this is a skill, this is not a game, where have you been, are you with us? can you hear us? got the megaphone pointed at you |

I talk of freedom
you talk of the flag I talk of revolution you'd much rather brag and as the decibels of this disenchanting discourse continue to dampen the day the coin flips again and again, and again, and again as our sanity walks away all this discussion though politically correct is dead beyond destruction though it leaves me quite erect and as the final sunset rolls behind the earth and the clock is finally dead I'll look at you, you'll look at me and we'll cry a lot but this will be what we said this will be what we said Look where all this talking got us, baby. |
