well he lit you up like amber waves in his movie show he fixed you up real good till i don't know you anymore from ballet class to a lap dance straight to video and the pool side news was that he would be launching you into every young man's bedroom - you gave it up on dvd and magazines - you gave it up a private rite of passage you gave it up to every boy's sweet dream with their paper cuts you said "he's got a healing machine it glows in the dark, glows in the dark you say "there's not a lot of me left anymore just leave it alone. but if you're by, and you have the time tell the northern lights to keep shining lately it seems like they're drowning" he cold light you up and summon every swan to the lakeside off to cabo san lucas for some optical stimulus then you started to guess there was someone else though his flint glass seeing all of you immersed in his sepia into every young man's bedroom - you gave it up on dvd and magazines - you gave it up a private rite of passage you gave it up to every boy's sweet dream with their paper cuts you said "he's got a healing machine it glows in the dark, glows in the dark you say "there's not a lot of me left anymore just leave it alone. but if you're by, and you have the time tell the northern lights to keep shining lately it seems like they're drowning" so i went by cause i had the time told the northern lights to keep shining they told me to tell you they're waving a sorta fairytale on my way up north up on the ventura i pulled back the hood and i was talking to you and i knew then it would be a life long thing but i didn't know that we we could break a silver lining and i'm so sad like a good book i can't put this day back a sorta fairytale with you a sorta fairytale with you things you said that day up on the 101 the girl had come undone i tried to downplay it with a bet about us you said that- you'd take it as long as i could i could not erase it and i'm so sad like a good book i can't put this day back a sorta fairytale with you a sorta fairytale with you and i ride along side and i rode along side you then and i rode along side till you lost me there in the open road and i rode along side till the honey spread itself so thin for me to break your bread for me to take your word i had to steal it and i'm so sad like a good book i can't put this day back a sorta fairytale with you a sorta fairytale with you i could pick back up wednesday nothing here to fear i'm just sitting around being foolish when there is work to be done just a hang-up call and the quiet breathing of our persian we call cajun on a wednesday so we go from year to year with secrets we've been keeping though you say you're not a templar man seems as if we're circling for very different reasons but one day the eagle has to land out past the fountain a left by the station i start the day in the usual way then think -- well why not -- and stop for a coffee then begin to recall things that you say no one's at the door you suggest a ghost perhaps a phantom i agree with this in part something is with us i can't put my finger on -- is thumbalina size 10 on a wednesday -- so we go you tell me to cheer up you suspect we're oddly even even still the eagle has to land out past the fountain pluck up the courage and snap it's gone again i start humming "when doves cry" can someone help me i think that i'm lost here lost in a place called america strange strange thought i knew you well thought i had read the sky thought i had read a change in your eyes to strange woke up to a world that i am not a part except when i can play it's stranger after all what were you really looking for and i wonder when will i learn blue isn't red everybody knows this and i wonder when will i learn when will i learn guess i was in deeper than i thought i was if i have enough love for the both of us "just stay" you said "we'll build a nest" so i left my life tried on your friends tried on your opinions. so when the bridges froze and you did not come home i put our snowflake under a microscope after all what was i really looking for and i wonder when will i learn maybe my wish knew better than i did and i wonder so strange now i'm finally in the party has begun it's not like i can't feel you still but strange what i will leave behind you call me one more time but now i must be leaving carbon carbon

when i knew it was real down the canyon when i knew i had come to the line through the dawn to the light to the turn when you said you could drive all night drive all night so i let crazy take a spin then i let crazy settle in kicked off my shoes shut reason out he said "first let's just unzip your religion down" found that i i craved at all saw me melt into your native shelter where you carved my name paper tigers scare and came alive through the dawn to the light to the turn when you said you could drive all night all night drive all night so i let crazy take a spin then i let crazy settle in kicked off my shoes shut reason out he said "first let's just unzip your religion down" so i let crazy pull me in then i let crazy take his spin kicked off my shoes shut reason out he said "first let's just unzip your religion down" heard that you were once "temptation's girl" and as soon as you have rearranged the mess in your head he will show up looking sane perfectly sane if i know crazy

pull him out of your head athena will attest that it could be done and it has been done and i think that i am up to it and the jacaranda tree is telling me of the trouble you're in just by the way she bends remember dancing and wondering as you were swaying what kind of woman you'd be "what will be will be" over my dead body slip through your hand again and again slip through your hand again and again my old flame was a jester and a joker and as healer of men, they called him the prince prince of black jacks and of women and of anything that's slipped into his hands "and the ranches and the mustangs" and the way you said "you can have all this, except for me-- you see lady luck is my mistress and you'll have to play second to her wish" and the jacaranda tree is telling me it's not over yet, just by the way she bends "if you come breezin' through" you said "i'll know that it's you by the taste on my lips, bet on the deserts kiss" i could slip through your net "over my dead body" slip through your hand don't make me come to vegas hmmm sweet sangria i know you know every desperado and sharp shooter in the west you say that i can't see behind the mask of those who call themselves the good guys in this who take and take "so are you with me or not you say this time decide" balmy days sweet sangria she's been gone have you seen her seņorita shyly turning away leaving me our fading flame yeah you think you that what you believe in it matters now to you and me what you believe in i'm takin' in i said i'm takin' in what you believe in it matters now to you and me before sundown the mexicans leave san antone the car will then drop him at the border the breaking point i know your people have suffered time and time again but what about i ask you now the innocents on both sides balmy days so you give me a no window i ask you, give me a bloodless road tell me why does someone have to lose? your cloud where the river cross crosses the lake where the words jump off my pen and into your pages do you think just like that you can divide this you as yours me as mine to before we were us if the rain has to separate from itself does it say "pick out your cloud?" pick out your cloud if there is a horizontal line that runs from the map off your body straight through the land shooting up right through my heart will this horizontal line when asked know how to find where you end where i begin "pick out your cloud" how light can play and form a ring of rain that can change bows into arrows (i found a thrill) who we were isn't lost before we were us indigo in his own blue always knew this if the rain has to separate from itself does it say pick out your cloud pancake i'm not sure who's fooling who here as i'm watching your decay we both know you could deflate a 7 hurricane seems like you and your tribe decided you'd rewrite the law segregate the mind from body and soul CHORUS: you give me yours i'll give you mine cause i can look your god right in the eye you give me yours i'll give you mine you used to look my god right in the eye i believe in defending in what we once stood for it seems in vogue to be a closet misogynist homophobe a change of course in our direction a dash of truth spread thinly like a flag on a popstar on a benzodiazapene CHORUS oh zion please remove your glove and dispel every trace of his spoken word that has lodged in my vortex i'm not sure who's fooling who here as i'm watching your decay we both know you could deflate a 7 hurricane you could have spared her - oh but no messiahs need people dying in their name you say "i ordered you a pancake" you say "i ordered you a pancake" i can't see new york from here no lines are drawn from here no lands are owned 13,000 and holding swallowed in the purring of her engines tracking the beacon here "is there a signal there on the other side" on the other side? what do you mean side of what things? and you said and you did and you said you could find me here and you said you would find me even in death and you said and you said you'd find me but i can't see new york as i'm, circling down through white cloud falling out and i know his lips are warm but i can't seem to find my way out my way out i can't see. of this hunting ground from here crystal meth in metres of millions in the end all we have, soul blueprint. did we get lost in it do we conduct a search for this "from the other side" from the other side? what do they mean side of what things... and you said. you again it's you again i can't see i can't see new york from the other side from the other side i hum from the other side mrs. jesus life lines and suicide crimes -- he found me in a state grabbed my purse and hitched a ride with a mrs. jesus "how you been" i've been cruisin' a good invention

i know there's heaven there and then empty arms that comes with the morning star well, made my bed of cut roses by understanding that the cause it just comes first with my mrs. jesus the gospel changes meaning if you follow john or paul and could you ever let it be the mary of it all and even as i'm climbing up the stairs well, life lines and suicide crimes there's the something every day

walk if you're a thought you will want me to think you and i did invite a guest up until you announced you had moved in "what do you plan to do with all your freedom?" the new sheriff said, quite proud of his badge "you must admit the land is now in good hands" yes, time will tell that you just life your lamp i will follow her on her path scarlet's walk through the voilets just tell your gods for me all debts are off this year they're free to leave yes they're free to leave leaving terra leaving terra there was a time when i thought that her destiny should've been mine big brave nation but instead her medicine now forgotten "what do you plan to do with all your stories" the new sheriff said, quite proud of his badge we'll weave them through every rocket's red glare and huddled masses you just lift your lamp i will follow. if you're a thought you will want me to think you and i did and did. virginia in the lush virginia hills they kept her as long as they could cause they knew when the white brother found white shell beads wrapped around her skin -- a life giving river -- her body open as will his hand and with a "goodbye" there she goes she may betray all that she loves and even wait for their savior to come and in some things, maybe he'll be right but as always the thing that he loves he will change from her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading still she'll lay down her body covering him all the same so hundreds of years go by (the red road carved up by sharp knife) she's a girl out working her trade and she loses a little each day to ghetto pimps and presidents who try and arouse her turquoise serpents she can't recall what they represent and when you ask, she won't know she will betray oh virginia do you remember when the land held your hand oh virginia she will let you back in oh virginia you can't remember your name gold dust sights and sounds pull me back down another year i was here i was here whipping past the reflecting pool me and you skipping school and we make it up as we go along we make it up we go along you said - you raced from langley - pulling me underneath a cherry blossom canopy -do i have- of course i have, beneath my raincoat, i have your photographs. and the sun on your face i'm freezing that frame and somewhere alfie cries and says "enjoy his every smile you can see in the dark through the eyes of laura mars" how did it go
