I dreamed of you on my farm
I dreamed of you in my arms But dreams are always wrong I never dreamed I’d hurt you I never dreamed I’d lose you In my dreams I’m always strong But now th' creek is rising An’ all my bridges burned I always dreamed of big crowds Plumes of smoke and high clouds But dreams don’t last for long I have my suspicions When th’ stars are in position All will be revealed But I know that until then Unless th’ stars surrender All will be concealed And now th’ snow is falling And all my fences torn I know you need someone An’ I can hear someone Somewhere in this song I dreamed that I was walking And th' two of us were talking Of all life's mystery Th' words that flow between friends Winding streams without end I wanted you to see But it can seem surprising When you find yourself alone And now th' dark is rising And a brand new moon is born I always dreamed I'd love you I never dreamed I'd lose you In my dreams I'm always strong |

Th’ Threads that run thru yr life
Hang from yr sleeve Wind thru yr soul Th’ kind you can’t control Th’ kind you can’t conceive Th’ kind you can’t believe But wish you could break Wish you could weave I Wish you could see It ties you to me An’ you fly in th’ face of the sun An’ you float in th’ tides of th’ moon Th’ paths that run from your door Climb thru th’ trees Wind like a snake Th’ kind you can’t escape Th’ kind you can’t conceive Th’ kind you can’t believe With prickly little thorns Sharp tiny teeth They’re hungry for th’ threads Hanging from yr sleeve Waiting on a path Th’ kind you can’t conceive But wish you could take Wish you could leave I wish you could see It leads you to me |

I remember their faces
I remember their stares I remember how wasted You were in there... When I know you want it An’ I know you care I know you feel it An’ I know it’s there You were speaking to no one I called your name You were looking for something Without any chains I was talking to someone You pulled me aside You were telling me something That I couldn’t buy |

What explodes like a fractal
Pops like a lite bulb Looks really awful At four in the morning Moves with a dead stare Coils around your ankles Fangs long as neckties And strike without warning What implodes like a Zeppelin Cracks like pavement Smokes in the basement And knows when yer lying Comes to a dead stop Forgives you like Jesus Cold as a windchill With eyes like Abe Lincoln What is dark like a birthmark Pulls like a magnet Male and female And covets like a dragon Grows to a shark length Contracts to amoeba Lives in your soul And loves you like I do What appears like an angel Stabs like a dagger Fills you with lite And bleeds you of matter Comes to a dead stop Forgives you like Jesus Hands you a love only Found in the Vedas What explodes like a fractal Pops like a lite bulb Strolls in like Joel Gray At four in the morning Armed with a big nose Fragile like a sea horse Lives in your soul And loves you like I do |

If God moves across the water
Th’ girl moves in other ways An’ I’ve lost my faith in either Nite an’ fog are my days I wanted only to be gentle But I gave her jealousy an’ rage Who knows exactly what I’m after Nite an’ fog are my days Wisemen want faith, fools want gold Sailors want water, but you want it all I tried to guide my love by starlite An’ soon my life became a maze Osiris an’ Orion were yer favorites Nite an’ fog are my days Vampires want darkness, monsters want souls Spiders want corners, but you want it all She turns half nude to find me naked But I can see she wants me in other ways In th’ dark I’ve driven her to madness Nite an’ fog are my days I hope you see your ship come in May it find you an’ never lose it’s way But I would make a poor captain Nite an’ fog are my days Vampires want darkness, monsters want souls Spiders want corners, but you want it all... |

Staighre... to nowhere climb
I take them... all th’ time Crawling on my knees Walking that ol’ fine line An’ when I’m alone an’ scared I think up little rhymes They would make no sense to you But I make them all th’ time An’ time’s all mine... Time’s all mine It’s th’ little pills you find Crushed to dust, rolling out of sight They end up in th’ strangest places But I take them all th’ time When everyone... is false I tell ‘em I’m just fine I can’t... remember their names But I fake them all th’ time |

A year is just a drop in time,
it cannot touch th’ female form in my bed She is just a friend of mine, In th’ dark she knows th’ touch of my hand Let th’ music play like you want it to Let th’ sunshine lite in yr hair Let th’ moonlite play at your feet like a babe An’ softly linger there Her words profane, her mouth divine, I tried to sympathize with both sides But I was caught, like a fleeting thought, stuck inside of Leonard Cohen’s mind We met on a beach in Greece, an’ parted on a rusty Spanish stair Two birds in th’ distance fly, they landed an’ they settle down somewhere Let th’ music play like you want it to Let th’ sunlite glide thru yr hair Let th’ moonlite play at your feet like a babe An’ softly linger there A year is just a drop in time, it cannot touch her female form in my head She was just a friend of mine, in th’ dark she knew th’ touch of my hand |

Nothing to kill or die for; no religion, too Imagine all the people, living life in peace, you-hoo You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope that you will join us And the world would live as one Imagine no possessions - I wonder if you can?

Dawn brought a wild light, back into her tired eyes,
Like violets, opening her eyelids to the light, Oh she was golden, I caught her still glowing, I told you where we're goin' girl, We're off for a dark country ride I'll tell you a secret, I'll sell you a secret for a song, Some day I'll tell you and take you back home where you belong All the leaves are falling, Two suns are slowly rising, I'll take you where the morning star burns just for you, My dark country bride I'll tell you a secret, oh I'll sell you a secret for a song, I'll give you my soul, babe, an one day you'll give me yours Oh I'll tell you a secret, I'll sell you my secret for a song, I'll give you my soul, babe, an one day you'll give me yours I'll tell you a secret, I'll sell you my secret for a song, Some day I'll tell you and take you back home where you belong |

And I bleed and I feel that it's all too real, On a wave of emotion sending ships across yer ocean, And I've lost all my reasons...but it's you I can...believe in And looking in your eyes, the stars they fall away, And holding to your hand I waste away the day, I've got to make it known, I've got to let you see, But I'm not so strong... And I bleed and I feel that it's all too real, On a wave of emotion sending ships across yer ocean, And I've lost all my reasons...when it's you I can...believe in Believe in, believe in, ohh Believe in, believe in, ohh No I'm not that strong And I bleed and I feel that it's all too real, On a wave of emotion sending ships across yer ocean, And a way of feeling that inside I know I'm healing, All these waves of emotion sending ships across yer ocean, And I've lost all my reasons...but it's you I can...

Has she found a way to make her man work out rite,
An' has she found a way to let her man into her life, Has she found a way to teach her man some control, Oh to make him understand her, as a whole, Will she find a way to tell him just how lost she is, An' will he find a way to lead her out of the wilderness, Take her by surprise, and not by force, Oh able to withstand, all her storms, In the wilderness..things aren't what they seem, In the wilderness..life is but a dream, That flows on..that flows on... Will he find a way to let her play such a sacred role, Will she find a way to forgive him as a whole, Oh how can he have been so blind for so long, An' how can the woman I love, be so strong In the wilderness..things aren't what they seem, In the wilderness..life is but a dream, That flows on..that flows on... |

I stabbed myself back into the night One heel in front, one heel behind Life in the Empire State... Angels and devils before my eyes The palms of my hands hung by my side Helpless I watched them destroy and divide Life in the Empire State... Cold were my bones, warm was the fire White was your face cast to my mind Bright as ever any light that shined On Life in the Empire State Into the Void I roared in vain What if the South's gonna do it again Promise you'll b by my side for the end Of Life in the Empire State... Shrug off the shifting weight of home And hope that the Almight Anchor will hold Was there room in your heart for your weakest son all along Whistle sirens the Blind comin' on... No matter how lion-hearted my will I still stray beyond? I threw up my hands and swore I'd find more in yr arms Was the Narrow Way there in our midst all along Sounds like the empire State's comin' on... |

With a wink from a starlet's eye
A string of pearls come to life Who knows what black and crazy thoughts swim inside a girlfriend's heart No brighter jewel is there above Than the gem of a girl still in love Below the horizon the last crown jewel Pales among the stars at noon When out of the blue a rainbow rockets thru A kiss from an old flame A trip to the moon Endlessly falling my way downtown Someone to throw both arms around Who knows what black and crazy names Swim around inside her brain Adrift across the silver screen Just imagine you and me Our strolling make-believe ballroom glides Set the rainbow room afire When out of the blue a rainbow rockets thru A kiss from an old flame A trip to the moon Off into the starlit nite Two fools rush in you and I Feel the rough hand close behind Above the Heaven's Open wide... When out of the blue a rainbow rockets thru A kiss from an old flame A trip to the moon When out of the blue a rainbow rockets thru A kiss from an old flame A trip to the moon |

Good morning sun good morning shine I feel lost all the time
Somewhere ahead must lay my first peaceful night Crimson flames golden shores where I land Don't care no more Eleventh hour heart of stone on bended knee facing home Almighty above Almighty below an unfortunated end to yr Civil War Somewhere ahead must lay my first peaceful night. |

Clouds taste better than dirt
That's why you must evaporate above the earth Pressure can make the clouds burst Soon you wind up in the mud Just where you were Leaves may not reasons to believe in love Can't you see to me she means the whole wide world Queen bee shields my eyes From the force inside of my mind And the force they may you blind Is beautiful On the imaginary side Even bored it is exciting Being a drone is better than being alone Bees may not be reasons to believe in love Can't you see to me she means the whole wide world Ain't yourself that fingers mean fun Shake a quarter flip in the air is gone In your silent fears it's first A little bit of help and the tournament's over [and you try and get sober?] See the bladder bleed from an itty bitty hole Do the weird blitzing no, no, no You bet your sweater should be all the way gone These/bees may bot be reasons to believe in love Can't you see to me she means the whole wide world |

Hard as the kick in a young man's stride
I stabbed myself back into the night One heel in front, one heel behind Life in the Empire State... Angels and devils before my eyes The palms of my hands hung by my side Helpless I watched them destroy and divide Life in the Empire State... Cold were my bones, warm was the fire White was your face cast to my mind Bright as ever any light that shined On Life in the Empire State Into the Void I roared in vain What if the South's gonna do it again Promise you'll b by my side for the end Of Life in the Empire State... Shrug off the shifting weight of home And hope that the Almight Anchor will hold Was there room in your heart for your weakest son all along Whistle sirens the Blind comin' on... No matter how lion-hearted my will I still stray beyond? I threw up my hands and swore I'd find more in yr arms Was the Narrow Way there in our midst all along Sounds like the empire State's comin' on... |

You bring a sudden ray of hope thats comes with every lightning bolt, I love to watch them go up in smoke/You bring a soft summer smile, come in every once in a while, I wish you'd go the extra mile for me tonight/And everybody knows it but no one wants to show it they all just want to throw it in my face/You bring a sudden ray of hope that comes in very can of coke I love to feel it roll down my throat/You bring a soft subtle style that comes around every once in a while wish you'd go the extra mile for me tonight/And everybody knows it but no one wants to Show it they all just want to throw it in my face

Well she tossed all night like a ragin' sea woke up an' climbed from th' suicide machine with her spanish candles an' her persian poems stuck on th' rocks insude opus 40 stoned an' scratchin' he wrists in the pourin' rain she collapses down upon th' ocean floor again Tears in waves minds on fire Nights alone by yr side Catskill mansions buried screams i'm alive she cried but i don't know what it means somewhere out there across th' moonlit sands there's a line drawn like th' lines on her own shand an' slammin' her eyes lockin' th' door she collapses down upon th' ocean floor again Tears in waves minds on fire Nights alone by yr side |

Y'don't need much money t' ride th' silver train
Just enough t' keep yerself from sleepin' in th' rain Satellites 'r chasin' silver clouds away an' Technicolor raindrops wash gumballs down th' drain Gonna leave th' city, gonna hop a train tonite Gotta one-way ticket an' th' moon is shinin' brite Gonna leave th' city, gonna catch th' hudson line Cos y'know i love th' city, but i haven't got th' time Satellites 'r chasin' th' silver clouds away Mercury's a' fallin' yeah who forgot t' pray Silver trains will whistle an' glisten by th' moon Molly's got her kite and joe has his balloons Satellites 'r chasin' silver clouds away I'm stuck on th' tracks t' sleep away th' day |

from Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs (1998)
Well i got us on a hiway an' i got us in a car
Got us goin' faster than we've ever gone before An' i know it ain't gonna last An' i know it ain't gonna last When i see yr eyes arive they explode like two bugs on glass Far above th' ocean, depp under th' sea There's a river runnin' dry because of you an' me She's a goddess on a hiway, a goddess in a car A goddess goin' faster than she's ever gone before |

Sea t' corporal sea atlantic's too specific
haven't time t'settle sharks infest th' water kickin' up th' dust constructin' new ideals old ones laid t' rust nothin' seems so real Slidin' away in a washed out delta sun Missionaries flood my favorite AM stations flowing in their futures washed out in this delta rag look th' other way pocket all th' pieces tripping up th' strawhat tumble inta th' wind Slidin' away in washed out delta sun Slidin' away in washed out delta sun Wavin' goodbye i'm not sayin' hello |

Time, all the long red lines, that take
Control, of all th smokelike streams that flow into yr Dreams, that big blue open sea, that can't be Crossed, that can't be climbed, just born Between, oh th' two white lines, distant gods an' faded Signs, of all those blinking lites, you had t' pick the one tonite... Holes, dug by little moles, angry jealous Spies, got telephones for eyes, come t' you as Friends, all those endless ends, that can't be Tied, oh they make me laugh, an' always make me Cry, til they drop like flies, an' sink like polished Stones, of all th' stones i throw, how does that ol' song go how does that ol' song go... Bands, those funny little plans, that never work quite right. |

Into a dream, i took a turn, an' promised t' return
Th' way we were, th' way we met, th' way i lit yr cigarette Th' way it trailed, into a stream, an' lay down between... You had t' choose, a side t' love, an' divide yerself in two Th' way you were, long before, you were a walkin' civil war But you forget, where th' road goes, an' tonite it shows... Into yr soul, i tried t' climb, but found th' hole t' high For me t' leave, th' way i'd learned, an' found i couldn't turn Th' way th' trees, an' fallin' rain, remind me in a way... Th' way you were, th' day we met, th' way i lit your cigarette Th' way it changed, into a strange, cole porter phrase But you forget, how th' song goes, an' tonite it shows... |

Standing in a dream, weaving thru' the crowded streets leaving you again endlessly
The choir disappears, an' voices in yr heard appear leading you again endlessly If th' armies of her soul, take you by surprise an' flee leaving you again endlessly An th' darkships of her eyes surrender t' you suddenly leading you again endlessly Standing in a street, th' line beneath th' fallin' leaves leading her again endlessly An' of all th' stars above, only one reminds her of leaving you again endlessly |
