pull the oceans drain
for an endless train
of character names
twisting mirrors into days
are ya keeping yerself from falling apart
with yer spray on skin yer coo coo clock heart...
well my eyes are jelly jars full of stars just wanna be lost..
I'm going to hang that puppeteer from his own cross.
are ya keeping yerself from melting to fast
with yer ice cube tray teeth refill that glacier cold laugh
will ya be dead to trade it in... begin again?
with that new car smell
the swing of church bells
oh how can you tell?
Sorry to talk to you
from behind the glass
sorry out heads go rolling
around their own masks...
well but maybe we ain't here at all
maybe were just an echo down the hospital hall
maybe were just answering the call
of the wild, of the wild, of the wild...
do paws applaud? no no
acting tall living strong
on top a deflating beach ball
building long lonesome belonged
behind our famous walls...
and I wonder about the show
if the puppet even knows about the hand down in it's hole..oh oh oh
well eeenie meeniee mineee mo!
catch a tiger by his toe, if he hollars let him go... let us go...
I'm going to hang my nests
around the neck
of the scarecrow...

a bird
in a cage
a cage
in a room
a room
in a house
a house
in a memory
a memory
in a song
a song
in a bird
a bird
in a cage
a cage in a room
a room in a house
a house
in a town
a town in a memory
a memory in a song
a song in a bird
in a word

BROKEN FINGERS

did yer broken fingers make a stronger hand
did yer blood bath wars make a more peaceful land
did yer angels and demons make points
when they bet on the race of us human beings
did ghosts drive me off times train track bridge
just to break me out of the prison of my own head
did garden spiders spin their webs with the same count of days
as it's said in heaven did the endless universe want to live
right where my life stands did nature want to grow anywhere it can
did the black hole surrounding my soul
wind me up and make me go go go
did my life on a limb let the blossoms begin to twist into fruit
that will fall to the ground...
or did I make all this up because I am just a man
talking to himself all over and over again..
did I make believe when I was just dead that I was really living instead
I hope not cuz I just wanna dance like no one is looking
I just wanna romance with she who loves good cooking
I just wanna watch us overact, like a silent movie
a head movie...
I thought this was our life we're going barefoot where we want
we don't owe anyone anything not below or above
cuz I got free from all I see and I know the greatest mystery in history
is just a real person, a real person, a real person, a real person

THE TROPHY ROOM

sew up the pockets
dig a graveyard for the watches
stay young
stay warm with the quilt yer grandmother knit
with the hair you lost on the way
and say
i hear when yer here
and say
i feel what you feel
that you won't need anything you ever known
won't know anything ya ever needed.........
come back come back if ya run away
run away run away if ya come back
trying to grow up and slow down at the same time
turn my heart inside out with yer mind
as I spin both ways at once as the hologram shines
you can see the grains in the straight light lines
I read the birthdays on the gravestones
just wanna laugh wanna laugh
before it's outgrown
and the soul stream is a circle rainbow
that flows and flows back to yerself and you wanna be known...
I'm in a coma in coma I'm a clown I'm a clone...
a movement a movement to amuse the stars
they turn off and on and off and on my conscious parts
baby throw me baby throw me from the crashing car
I forget I forgot who you are...
every path leads back to itself after all
and every past is the future's fall
in the trophy room
in the trophy room
the heads on the wall...

EYES GOT GRAVITY
03:08

of all who I ever dreamed to be
if I were you I would still be me
the eyes got gravity
one plus one is zero plus two
mine are brown yers are blue
the leaves is green for in between
it's nice to see you to be seen
the glass is clear filled with air
fields for trees skin for hairs
the bees spill seeds the hands build chairs
we go where we want
don't fall free off the earth
cuz
the eyes got gravity

Mountain Dew Mceedees and BP
here on Earth here on Earth here on Earth
there will always be peace
we can see us all see us all see us all see us all
from space
and now the book can recognize yer face
and freedom
I don't need it
where we're going
we don't need it
going to Disneyland...
feeling dizzy from all the candy
feeling funny spending all yer money
stand in line for the next big ride
a lifetime in the starlight
of...
