When I sat down on the bed next to you
You started to cry I said, maybe if I leave, you'll want me To come back home Or maybe all you mean, is leave me alone At least that's what you said You're irresistible when you get mad Isn't it sad, I'm immune I thought it was cute For you to kiss My purple black eye Even though I caught it from you I still think we're serious At least that's what you said |

When the devil came
He was not red He was chrome and he said Come with me You must go So I went Where everything was clean So precise and towering I was welcomed With open arms I received so much help in every way I felt no fear I felt no fear ♬ The air was crisp Like sunny late winter days A springtime yawning high in the haze And I felt like I belonged Come with me ♪ Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me Come with me |

Spiders are singing in the salty breeze
Spiders are filling out tax returns Spinning out webs of deductions and melodies On a private beach in Michigan Why can't they wish their kisses good Why do they miss when their kisses should Fly like winging birds fighting for the keys On a private beach in Michigan This recent rash of kidsmoke All these telescopic poems It's good to be alone Why can't they say what they want Why can't they just say what they mean Come clean, listen and talk Hello private callers, IDs blocked The sun will rise, we'll climb into cars The future has a valley and a shortcut around Who will wear the crown of drowning award Hold a private light on a Michigan shore You fool me with a kiss of kidsmoke From a microscopic home It's good to be alone I'll be in my bed You can be the stone That raises from the dead And carries us all home There's no blood on my hands I just do as I am told |

There's a random painted highway
And a muzzle of bees My sleeves have come unstitched From climbing your tree And dogs laugh, some say they're barking I don't think they're mean Some people get so frightened Of the fences in between And the sun gets passed from tree to tree Silently, and back to me With the breeze blown through Pushed up against the sea Finally back to me I'm assuming you got my message On your machine I'm assuming you love me And you know what that means Sun gets passed, sea to sea Silently, and back to me With the breeze blown through Pushed up above the leaves With the breeze blown through My head upon your knee Half of it's you, half is me Half of it's you, half is me |

His goal in life was to be an echo
Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her She appears in his dreams But in his car and in his arms A dream can mean anything A cheap sunset on a television set can upset her But he never could Remember to remember me Standing still in your past Floating fast like a hummingbird His goal in life was to be an echo The type of sound that floats around and then back down Like a feather But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans No one could hear him Or anything So he slept on a mountain In a sleeping bag underneath the stars He would lie awake and count them And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way Would never let him Die alone Remember to remember me Standing still in your past Floating fast like a hummingbird Remember to remember me Standing still in your past Floating fast like a hummingbird A hummingbird A hummingbird |

I was chewin' gum for something to do The blinds were being pulled down on the dew Inside, out of love, what a laugh I was looking for you Saxophones started blowing me down I was buried in sound Taxicabs were driving me around To the handshake drugs I bought downtown To the handshake drugs I bought downtown They were translated poorly, I felt like a clown I looked like someone I used to know I felt alright And if I ever was myself I wasn't that night Oh it's okay for you to say What you want from me I believe that's the only Way for me to be, exactly What you want me to be Oh it's okay for you to say What you want from me I believe that's the only Way for me to be Exactly what you want me to be Oh I was chewin' gum for something to do The blinds were being pulled down on the dew Inside, out of love, what a laugh I was looking for you Saxophones started blowin' me down I was buried in sound The taxicabs were driving me around To the handshake drugs I bought downtown To the handshake drugs I bought downtown Oh it's okay for you to say What you want from me I believe that's the only Way for me to be Exactly what do you want me to be? Exactly what do you want me to be? Felt like a clown They were translating poorly I looked like someone I used to know And if I ever was myself, I wasn't that night Exactly what do you want me to be? Exactly what do you want me to be? |

Fill up your mind with all it can know
Don't forget that your body will let it all go Fill up your mind with all it can know What would we be without wishful thinking Chambers of chains With red plastic mouths The inside of outside No one has found How to unring the bell It's just as well The turntable sizzles Casting the spells The pressure devices Hell in a nutshell Is any song worth singing If it doesn't help Fill up your mind with all it can know Don't forget that your body can let it all go Fill up your mind with all it can know 'Cause what would love be without wishful thinking Open your arms as far as they will go We take off your dress An embarrassing poem Was written when I was alone In love with you I shook down those lines To shine up the streets I got up off my hands and knees To thank my lucky stars that you're not me What would we be without wishful thinking What would we be without wishful thinking What would we be without wishful thinking |

Your mind's a machine
It's deadly and dull It's never been still and its will Has never been free Lightly tapping A high-pitched drum As your spine starts to shine You shiver at your soul A fist so clear and climbing Punches a hole In the sky So you can see For yourself If you don't believe me There's so much less To this than you think It's almost gone The night is dissolving In a cup God lifts To toast the lightning Lightly tapping It's high-pitched and it hums Your spine starts to shine And you shiver at your soul A fist so clear and climbing Punches a hole In the sky So you can see For yourself If you don't believe me There's so much less To this than you think |
