Brian Wilson
Drove downtown in the rain Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night, Just to check out the late-night record shop Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane When I'm surrounded I just can't stop. It's a matter of instinct, It's a matter of conditioning, It's a matter of fact You can call me Pavlov's dog Ring a bell and I'll salivate -- how'd you like that Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue 'Cause right now I'm Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did. So I'm lying here Just staring at the ceiling tiles, And I'm thinking about what to think about. Just listening and relistening to Smiley Smile And I'm wondering if this is some kind of creative drought Because I'm Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did. And if you want to find me I'll be out in the sandbox Wondering where all the hell all the love has gone Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun And singing "Fun Fun Fun" Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did. I had a dream That I was three hundred pounds And though I was very heavy I floated till I couldn't see the ground I floated till I couldn't see the ground Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground Somebody help me because I'm Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did. Drove downtown in the rain Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night, Just to check out the late-night record shop Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane When I'm surrounded I just can't stop. |

in a coffee shop in a city
which is every coffee shop in every city on a day which is every day i picked up a magazine which is every magazine read a story then i forgot it right away and they say goldfish have no memory i guess their lives are much like mine and the little plastic castle is a surprise every time and it's hard to say if they're happy but they don't seem much to mind from the shape of your shaved head i recognized your silhouette as you walked out of the sun and sat down and the sight of your sleepy smile eclipsed all the other people as they paused to sneer at the two girls from out of town and i said, "look at you this morning you are by far the cutest but be careful getting coffee i think these people want to shoot us or maybe there's some kind of local competition here to see who can be the rudest" people talk about my image like i come in two dimensions like lipstick is a sign of my decling mind like what i happen to be wearing the day that someone takes a picture is my new statement for all womankind and i wish they could see us now in leather bras and rubber shorts like some ridiculous new team uniform for some ridiculous new sport quick someone call the girl police and file a report in a coffee shop in a city which is every coffee shop in every city on a day which is every day |

Doorways open up and close more ways to a punchline
They're all laughing at your clothes, standing in the lunch line You're the talk of the town cause you're up and you're down It's a cycle, I've found, it always comes around But I will still be laughing, yes I will still be laughing Air raids in the afternoon, the children are playing Switchblades, colored red balloons, no one hears your praying And it comes back to you, all the things that you do Will come looking for you, will come looking for you But I will still be laughing, yes I will still be laughing Doorways lead to other rooms, always leave you lying Face down in a stranger's tomb, didn't know you were dying And you rise and you fall, and you wait for the call You're watching the walls, you're watching the walls But I will still be laughing, I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing, I will still be laughing |
