Radio Flyer
Hey, sordid sparkle.....
Have you ever really seen a name?
(There's more that's real than what you can touch)
Did you ever think about the past four months? The tide has washed over me.
"And I wait so long."
Exhausted, exhilarated, and echoed through the walls of this cherry corvair.
And I've built these walls around my heart
I know it sounds cliche
but I'll bet you're singing along
Disenchantment-- the Loser.
"I'm saying I'm a lie, and I'm asking you to believe in me."
In an oblong outback, only truth is sorely missed.
Do you know what's real?
The shards of an American ideal fall on your shoulders,
and you wear them with great pride.
Then shut your eyes and we'll awaken (together) to better mornings.
Consciously confused in solemn sobriety.
Let go of your illusions
so we can create new ones
(together)
I fall to you.
The sun will rise and fall
on the world we build.
Can I get you something for that cough?
