Door of Amusement

One and two and three and four and
I go reaching for the door
And silicona paper braids my hair
By the trees and skies and scrapers
Sounds of lovers distant whispers
Travel through my window to my ear
The smell of the leaves on the ground gets you running
For another place to go
Check me out I’m a fire in winter
Rushing past the highway patrol
Where is the spring or the pool by the river
Where evergreen water flows
Tickle my tongue and reveal your wisdom
Paper pen and winding rope
They tackle you down and say come around mister
Your sister is waiting here
But after the rain comes dancing weather
Jupiter and Aries appear
And every child is a seed in the wind now
And everything has happened here
Now I’m off to the Door of Amusement
Traveling upon my ear
One and two and three and four and
I go reaching for the door
And silicona paper braids my hair
By the trees and skies and scrapers
Sounds of lovers distant whispers
Travel through my window to my ear
Someone is speaking out of you listen
But I can now hardly hear
Grass in the summertime blooms in the city
I paint the sidewalk with my heel
And under the waves is a truer true nature
In every moment I steal
Now I’m riding out of the basement
Visions in my winding wheel

Jimmy/Spaceship
02:49
|

|
Jimmy runs swiftly down from the temple
The skin on his hair and the hair on his back
And someone is speaking out with a terrible
Fist raised up to the sky
Jenny come with me I know you’re a stranger
To all of the writing you see on the ground
And this way is up and this way is down now
I see mountains of white
And gravity wants my spaceship
But a foot to the gas and I’ll go flying
Into the world of pay chips
It sounds like a girl on a telephone line
I see her every night
Out with a whimper out like a story
There are just too many heads on the wall
And she goes out there looking for jimmy
And steps her foot on a wire
The sound of the people singing in chorus
Paint on the windows paint on the wall
Someone has said that they live in the city
She looks up sees a knife
But nobody sees my spaceship
Gliding in through the telephone lines
I give you my hand now take it
Into the great blue gazing sky
In the sea of a thousand twisting sprinkling eyes
And nobody else can find it
Weather the changing sea of tides
I give you my hand now take it
Into the great blue gazing sky
In the sea of a thousand twisting sprinkling eyes

Before I Wake
03:14
|

Was I standing on the table
Was I dancing with myself
Am I here or am I able
Am I seeing someone else
I am caught between opinion
And the proof within my vision
Give me just a second longer
And I’ll surely make the time today
In the evening of the day I find a
Restless kind of doubt
Are you here or far away from me
And can I live without
You’re escaping every moment
To the back rows of the garden
Give me just a single pin prick
And I’ll hope to die before I wake
Standing with all my papers and suits
Packages bearing the sweetest of fruit
I am the king of the ivory boot
Silently taking her eyes off of you
All of your life and the things that you do
I’m taking a bite with my ivory tooth
Tell my grandpa I’m a lover
Tell my mother I’m upset
Tell my sister when you see her
That my words are all in jest
I’m escaping every moment
To the back rows of the garden
Give me just a single pin prick
And I’ll hope to die before I wake
Standing with all my papers and suits
Packages bearing the sweetest of fruit
I am the king of the ivory boot
Silently taking her eyes off of you
All of your life and the things that you do
I’m taking a bite with my ivory tooth

Wind and Rain
02:10
|

|
I was just another
Pay stub in the gutter
Walking through the backdoor
Walking with a lover
Love is just a number
I can hear the thunder
I am going under
Just before the break of day
I can’t wait till Monday
Put me on the subway
Just beyond the runway
I can smell the honey
Telling me the answers
Lying in a pattern
Everything that matters
Turning into wine and rain
Merry is the day that I find all my pieces fall in line
I shake my hand I roll my dice again
I can see the picture
Her and all her sisters
Falling through the winter
Yes I know I miss her
Pushing through the morning
Yes I know the story
Something waiting for me
It was just the smell of you

Sometimes
04:48
|
|||
|
It’s been a minute
And I’m alone
And so I thought I would seize the day
The moon is hanging
So very low
I made a message to send your way
You are the sun and
You are the shine
Every constellation in the sky
I don’t want you for dinner
I don’t want you for wine
I want to hold you forever
I don’t want you sometimes
And in the distance
I see a light
Your every word is a new surprise
You cast a shadow
It looks like mine
Are we two pieces too lost to find
You paint a picture
Your brush is fine
Where is your blue paper cup tonight
I don’t want you for dinner
I don’t want you for wine
I want to hold you forever
I don’t want you sometimes
And when you look in the mirror
I’m on the other side
I want to hold you forever
I don’t want you sometimes

Water
03:34

Maybe I’ll look the same
Maybe I’ll I look much better
I don’t know
A hundred years from now
Waiting for the game to change
Or waiting on cloudy weather
To come around
And soak my boots again
A woman takes my feet and makes them bare and says
It’s just water
It’s just water
It’s just water
It’s just water
The skeleton in my skin
Is making me shake and shiver
Buts it’s just him
The rest I can do without
She walks when I want to run
She runs when I say I love you
Cause time is hard
And time is always spent
I woke up Sunday morning and the ground was wet
But it’s just water
It’s just water
It’s just water
It’s just water
The fruit was in the vein
The words were all the same
The sound of water splashing on the cold cement
Is all I get and all I want
And I ain’t seen that side of it yet
Hanging on my telephone
Can I say my work is done
Can I say my work is done
Can I say my work is done
Can I say my work is done
The afternoon is new
