if we both stand with paths ?on high?
sink without the oceans, watch 'em dry
we can see far to the other side
it's you and i forever, we don't have to hide

if we ignore the signals that mission control will send
it's one big ship ride anyway, this hell will never end
we gaze out on what they left of the stars
all we see now we can take as ours

you two've got just moments left to give
come back now and we will let you live
stay inside our blue protective eye
we won't let them take you, we won't let you die

my baby spins propellants, my systems set to blow
she's at the milky way now, exploding into sound
and she's constructed flashpoints to cover up the sun
while i sleep under glass, i know that she will wake me when she's done

morning scatters in and i am steady like a drug feeling out this one
she wakes up smashed as hell and steadies her ass against the rail
and bends before the pounding rain
she had the widest bright ideas all along about my love
and i need this fucking fix and i beg her to pick from
one of the billion ways to feel no pain

the morning after bends reflected and i can hardly stand
the way this whole thing makes me seem
she climbs out from a dream with lungs hardly as she screams a stereo scream
and bends before astounding rain
she's got a system made of metal and magnet bits inside her brain
she opens her box of tricks and begs me to pick from
one of the billion ways to feel no pain

she had the widest bright ideas
and all the world would sleep away until the nightmare ends
everyone is on wait, wait on me and
hold me up tight, let me breathe now

she had the widest bright ideas
and all the world would sleep away until the nightmare ends
everyone is on wait, wait on me and
and hold me upright, let me breathe now

she thinks she missed the train to mars, she's out back counting stars

she's not at work, she's not at school
she's not in bed, i think i finally broke her
i bring home everything i want, nothing that she needs
i thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me
she thinks she missed the train to mars, she's out back counting stars
i found her out back sitting naked looking up and looking dead
a crumpled yellow piece of paper, seven nines and tens
i thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me
she thinks she missed the train to mars, she's out back counting stars
i thought you'd be there holding daisies, you always wait for me
she thinks she missed the train to mars, she's out back counting stars

sleep comes to everyone while we wait for the sunday afternoons
sleep comes to everyone, everyone baby, yeah, but you
sleep comes to everyone while we wait, wide awake and blue
sleep comes to everyone, everyone baby, yeah, but me and you
and so i give myself away to everybody everyday
and so i give myself to you and you need it more than i do
sleep comes to everyone while we wait for the sunday afternoons
sleep comes to everyone, everyone baby, yeah, but you
and i have this one figured out,
that's why the suicide machine is built for two
a simple sick device devised to overload on love
to bring us colored dreams and soundtracked waves of fun
and so i give myself away to everybody everyday
and so i give myself to you and you need it more than i do
sleep comes to no one else like we have falling through the ground
fulfilling promises of endless summer nights
i'm losing ground, you're losing sound
somewhere through a thousand blues a dragonfly descends with just a whisper
i'm lonelier than god, and all my wishes spin the fishes in the air
and everyone a different shade of you
and to the left where up is down
now stand a zebra made of shapes of me and silver and the sun
so bring no guilt with you up above the flatline
let's just hit the sky exploding into one

[sorry]
[sorry]

it's eerie and it's awesome how all connected
two pods scattered on the surface can become lazy into one
he knows lightning kills the other,
she can't stand to watch his petals fall
it's better when cascades become like us all
afternoon a golden disengagement leaves a woman with a household left to fill
"sit and be still"
send the voltage 'cross his ticker
watch the stars they start to flicker
and one by one the levels fall
another drink, my love, and make it tall enough so i can stand on it and see
all you've done for me
a world of curves and lines electric
remember how you strung the colored lights from christmas tree to me

the distance outside of you comes into focus, collapses away lovingly
and hands to the glass and eyes to sky and glued to the south she waits to see
she's looking for birds she met last fall,
who said they would come back different than all
she's waiting for six who know about sound,
who'd promised to come back upside down
and i like your raindrop collector,
splash in my eyes and makes everything else look like you
so hand me the glasses and teach me to use them,
show me the window, i want to look too
i'll take the glasses and cover for you,
you get some sleep and i'll stay 'till two.
i'm looking for six who know about sound,
who promised to come back upside down
she's got colors to spare and i don't care what they choose
and i've got nothing to do and nothing like you left to lose

i'd like your hair long and ladeled to the ground
but you'd prefer an astronaut
someone to relate to and someone to command
and i would be a simple man
i could hardly wait for my stars to fall in line
and synchronize and shine
a wasted string of years, and a wasted string of lies
it's still the same to me
it's a waste of a song
you're a waste of my lungs
it's a waste of a song

i'd like your face gone and in its place the sun
and i would be an astronaut
for i have come to surface to catch some light and feed
and i have everything i need
and i could hardly wait for my stars to fall in line
and synchronize and shine
a wasted string of years, and a wasted string of lies
you're still the same to me
you're a waste of a song
you're a waste of my lungs
it's a waste of a song

morning gray ignites a twisted mess of foreign shapes and sounds
i wish the ceiling was the ground
i'll send you flowers made of silent tiny pieces of the sun
to help me make up for this one
while you send me tidal waves of love when you're alone
and i can't remember what you do
to find a way to turn the signal back to heaven sounding blue
and bring me faithful back to you
and she don't hold me right, she's never going to get me there
not tonight
if we break off gently in slow motion, spinning outward into space
my hand always floating gently at the wheel while you sweetly hold my face
and i need you to give it meaning, i need you to share the view
or it becomes a time for me to love myself like every other thing i do

before we ?steam and send? steady to the sun
a simple tale of woe, your hearts won't be undone
a love song to everyone i know
arms wide open, here we go

she weaves a trail of petals through the embryonic hives (heights?)
her hair was warm to the touch, her flowers twice as nice
and if he stands on the moon he can barely catch her eyes
always open to the sky

and so we land only to find we never left the ground
please leave the walls and the floors exactly as you found
a love song to everyone i know
arms wide open, here we go

now he's alive, while he sees he knows
he'll need a word from this fuckin' tease
he just needs some space and a lot of trees
a place to sleep, a place to breathe

cruisin' at a bird and strapped to a mountainside
reachin' for the sun it tells him something's right
come into my mind where i can't feel you
cat is in my head and i'm fuckin' wide awake

image in the sky tells me i'm not alive
smashing suns and you smashing out his brains
come into my mind where i can't feel you
cat is in my head and i'm fuckin' wide awake

i win, i win, i win

it sure gets lonely at the top
sure feels wierd when falling out
it sure gets lonely at the top
i win, i win

so you think i've come alive?
got my head out on the outside
yeah i warned you like a brick
you know i'm sick
i move in time, i hear your face
it's all over the place
and everything i sing and do
fuck you

i hear you've got a brand new beau
i hear he's lovely - white as snow
he moves in time, he moves real nice
i swear to god that's my advice
i really miss the world, i stick it
momma taught me how to dance and pray
and i said, "okay"
and you make me feel like i was dead
maybe it's just in my head

i can never be the one
?i'll lay total arm?
yeah, i would never kiss your ass
i don't know where it's at
it really hurts in my mind
i'm really, really nice
i've gone blind, i'm missing teeth
i can't breathe
i'm a dirty old man who pissed on himself
crushing at a walk
scream at the world i've healed
yeah, i've healed

i failed in life
i failed in love
i fail to see
the humor in any of this
maybe more than you could know
i have to come...
i'm gonna go...

i failed in life
i failed in love
i fail to see
why we ever played this
yeah, but I persist, and I charge
and you pretend I'm really large, yeah
i know that you stand by me so...
feel this was supposed to recede
that's my own
love you like no other can
time only eases me so
wrap myself in my love and
feel my face

you cried
yeah, yeah god have you cried
it comes on like a dream
seems to me I haven't seen
there you are
fuck yeah...yeah...yeah
yeah, there you are

a little too simple she is
i dance alone
feel this was supposed to recede
that's my own
i love you like no other can
time only eases me so
wrap myself in my love and
feel my face

Let's see how my day goes
Let's see how my day goes

She walks across on moonbeams
She walks across on moonbeams
Let's see how my day goes
Let's see how my day...

You trust your heart to know what's real
But I've already spoken, the words, "mine"
The sun, the moons, the plans we make
that's okay, I take the taking, it's all mine

She walks across on moonbeams
She walks across on moonbeams

You trust your heart to know what's real
But I've already spoken, the words, "mine"
The sun, the moons, the plans we make
It's all there for the taking, it's all mine

[i wanna make you stronger]

[yes sir]

i'm a gentle man
thin waves
tiny arms
and a tiny voice
that never said things quite right
and the earth's a funny
place to be now
things always come my way
the sky is not so green as it seems

two, made a life of
background noise
me and the boys just
killin time
and this one fails
to tell it all
my life, it's slowed
down to a crawl

my love songs suck
yours make me cry
the world beneath you
wanders by
you wings never touch the ground
no matter how strong they may seem

[ the u.s. invades just so high anxiety ... fear will arrive ...  ]
[                      ???? ...so calm ... never gave us the time ]
[ ... can never, never stop thinking again of man.                ]

my love songs suck
yours make me cry
the world beneath you
wanders blind
i know i did
i know we're through
why can't you say "i miss you too"?

Just shut your eyes, love me too.

she comes down with
with her hair on fire
while I sleep
and I feel wider than
higher than you know

she walks down
with her wings on fire
if I could stand
her I would blow her down
my buckets of love and pain
but feel me up
with your simple touch
the words in my mouth
i missed you so much
i inspire
everything you do

feel me up
with your simple touch
the words in my mouth
i missed you so much
i inspire
everything you do

mom, i'm just a boy

flowers flying everywhere
dragon spruce is screamin in your hair

you showed me your sundress last sunday
it's yellow, red, black and white and grey
you showed me your sundress last sunday
and i don't like it, i don't like what you say

if i was flying everywhere away from you
i don't think you can understand what i'm going through

you showed me your sundress last sunday
it was yellow, red, black and white and grey
yeah you showed me your sundress last sunday
yeah but i don't like it, i don't like what you say

in your arms you bring me down
the words in my head that can't be found
yeah, she's all i want

breathe through the top straw
and i'll hold you
between breathes
breathe into my lungs
cry when it hurts too much

the water's high, the water's high
i know, my love
the water's high, the water's high
i know my love

stand, deliver all
yeah and all
the love you get
while i stand on your blue shoulders
and scream into my lungs
yeah, but first, but first
know what you've done
what you done
what you done

it's a lonely, twisted world
spinning sickly on one side
i'm fried, and i can't sleep
no i haven't enjoyed the ride

i'm just a white guy from the future
i'm completely out of touch
i know that your tired
but i never love so much

she covered up her special ???
all fucked up again
so call me away
the pain is ??? with the sun

i love you more than you could
i'd do you like a son
i'd do you like a son
i'd do you like a son

she covered up her special ???
?i'm with you ???

i made me reach for myself
i got my feet against the ground
i made me reach for myself
i'll take you anywhere you felt

so we all ???
i love more than you know
i'll treat you like a son
i'll treat you like a son
i'll treat you like a son

chance brought me down on your side
and she's just along for the ride
wings melt and we hide
and all this means nothing to the sun
are we leaving this one?

mine comes true here
who's expanding here?
mind full of you here
and I will claim (?) fits in the sun
are we leaving this one?

and swift out, she goes to the last fray
short lives and long days in a fast stay
then will they wave to you?

The ocean spreads out on sunbeams
radiant, knowing
and your hand looks so nice in mine
and its been a thousand years seen since inception
and radiant, glowing.
and they say that we are doing fine

your ocean spreads out on sunbeams
radiant, willing
your hand looks so nice in mine
and the new come struggle has both of us
stapled to the island for awhile
and they say that we are doing fine

we're two points collapsing
supercharged from the storm
sun-drenched and our faces, too deformed.
this we're content to see us
peeling locust skins from the locust tree
"hang on to these places" she says to me
and clearly in this afternoon
clearly we will have to turn and come home soon.

she ?loaned? to me, a point collapsing
with that loved face in the snow
the mission could be corrupted
and we wouldn't know
and we wouldn't know

my baby reaches for the sound
i've got my feet against the ground
my baby reaches for the sound
i'll take you anywhere you've found

nothing no more is to see us,
peeling locust skins from the locust trees
"hang on to these faces" she screams to me
clearly in this afternoon
cleary we will have to turn and come home soon

clearly in this afternoon
cleary we will have to turn and come home soon

i'm thinking of your wide open eyes
smiling as they feed the nerves
that push the field of silver and the colorful lines
that only you could see, like only you could do

i'm picturing a foresept in ice
that you would see if you could reach
and reconnect the ends into the delicate legs
but I just sit and wait for a blip to break the perfect little thing
(?)

i dreamt of jet this high
seeding clouds from the other side
and rolling softly til the underbelly shines
and the vat's skin stir the sea
feeding upturned mouths and sprinkling away
a dusty sleep you took too soon
and you
you need watering if you are to bloom

i'm thinking of your failing green eyes
smiling as they greet the day
they can't see me

and now I'm picturing us opening wide
drinking down our days in haze and bliss
together till it tumbles aside
but i just sit and wait for a rhythm and a perfect little thing
green ?mind?
it's true
so soon

[and the coil speaks]
i'd like to see us together
i'd like to lay my head low
i need to lean on a soft one
and bring the spin of the world to a halt now
[and the coil sleeps]
and you've been gathering angels
and fading further each day
i love you right now as i never...
remember my face as you quietly make your way

I dreamt of jet this high
seeding clouds from the other side
and rolling softly til the underbelly shines
and the vat skims through the steam
feeding upturned mouths and sprinkling away
a dusty sleep you took too soon
and you
you need watering if you are to bloom

i come to you all dressed in sound.
bluebirds stripping wires to the ground,
connected to a time machine that will not power down.
set the crosshairs back on one.
you said we'd only die here in the sun.
the way your headstone shines,
i only wish that it was mine.

so set the crosshairs back on one,
and nail the loop that brings the second run,
past the wished on charms,
through the lens back to your living arms.

this time machine won't power down.
and this time machine won't power down.

and still the crosshairs rest on one.
and still you rest here in the morning sun,
and still I fumble through
pages of constructions on the line.

i like the clone of sound you found.
i like the way it feels here coming down.
the way your headstone shines
i only wish that it was mine.

she hits the cradle with both hands high
downward is heavenward
and we are not alone.
condensers on and the drop is found
a fingertip trace says to me
"i can see you and you are red"

a bed of dead leaves grace the ground
a quick glance to the other side
and we will not be found
send me arms and haste commands
come close, screams to me
i can see you above the rest.
and through it all she seems secured
downward is heavenward
and we are not alone
head thrown back, a sickened sigh
eyes shut
beelzebub, can we do this without a net?

the morning image from the satellite is all blue and green
and we've all got wounds to clean
here's a rag, here's some gasoline
she wakes up fine are rested well
released at last from in the sleeping cell
breathing comes with ease
it's a sweet revenge,
built with a chemical ride
my medicine man is the best,
wires to the temples, place them on
let's see how we sound
it's all green to me
what a sweet revenge
it's all green to me

see me liftoff one by one
i see a cool spot here
lets go down
peddle to the ground
a lovely mess
that i am blessed to see
of me, of me

she lifts her wings up high
sends her shrill of lifetime until we die.
and all the dream's and tale's
perfected in the colored sky!

the morning image from the satellite is all blue and green
and we've all got wounds to clean
here's a rag, here's some gasoline
it's all green to me

you swore the earth was round
and you said that there was no upside down
i hit the starshift left, let the parallax slip
like you showed me in the lighthouse
and did the math and it came up ones and os

i know a girl who makes me shine
my dreamboat's leaving on a submarine
she packed a second set of tanks
and all i ever want i need
i know a girl who makes me whine,
while my dreamboat scatters on a submachine
she packed a second set of tanks
and all i ever want i need

and you swore the earth was sound,
and you said that we could go upside the ground
but the starfish sends in the message in a code
that you can't see from the lighthouse
and we will dive in the afternoon

i took in a simple time to wander
engaging twilight through the trees
if she needs help among the kelp ways
then i'm not tied to these
no, i'm not tied to these

i know a girl who makes me shine
my dreamboat's leaving on a submarine
she packed a second set of tanks
and a solar powered lung for me
and to the girl who makes me whine
while my dreamboat scatters on the submachine
she packed a second set of tanks
and all i ever want i need
for me, for me, for me

stay, stay, stay...

i took a worn out strand of your cellophane hair and stretched it sideways
and though my mind slipped though between the sea and me
my brains stopped working from the cold
i sort of strayed from what we know
so i'll be like you and do what's right
and win a love i don't deserve out on the ice tonight
teach me the bluest song you know.
the moon ain't comin' up,
and I swear to god tonight it feels like snow.

i'm glad we got your hands warm so my arms can feel like trust again,
i can promise true waves when the summer comes
the world still fits the same form we engraved when it all began
maybe catch a new wave
feels like
it feels right

so we ride whales and drag race time
and i fill fires from the traces of trilobite hives
you sleep like god inside her womb
and you see clearly too
the silicon wasteland they left inside my mind

glad we got your hands warm
so my arms can feel like trust again
i can promise true waves when the summer comes
the world still fits the same form we engraved when it all began
maybe catch a new wave

we lost the road now
inject the charms
and we care for all of ours

we stand, froze now
transfer alarms
just like the Inuit with the promise song
to come down and see
to come down and see
to come down and see
come down and see

i'm thinking of a number between everything and two
i'm thinking of a number between everything and two

she said "you can find a space between my arms if you will stay
like if we ignore the systems they'll just blink out and quickly go away."
she said "i'll keep all the signals that you send home to me
and i'll meet you back here on the ground."

it's lift off, lift off again.
she's pissed off, pissed off again.

moonlight brings me back again to stay
and i know if she had her way i'd always be through
tethered to a glass ring she keeps beside the phone
and never ever stepping out into
blankness and darkness light underneath the leaf
has settled on me here and scraped away the sound

she said "you can find a place inside my heart if you will stay
and i need you back here on the ground."

it's lift off, lift off again.
she's pissed off, pissed off again.

moonlight brings me back again to stay
and i know if she had a way i'd always be through
tethered to a glass ring she keeps beside the phone,
and never ever stepping out into...

I'm thinking of a number between everything and two
I'm thinking of a number between everything and two

and moonlight brings me back again to stay
and i know if she had a way i'd always be through
tethered to a glass ring she keeps beside the phone
and never ever stepping out into...

and moonlight brings me back again to stay
and i don't feel a thing here anymore
strings of information slowing to a stop
the tether's end slipping from it's knot
i'm stretching out into...

i'm thinking of a number between everything and two
i'm thinking of the number between everything and two

it's molecules of you

electrified and lit up by an outline of herself,
smiling now as only she can be.
she said "i made some new connections to astound them all in ways we've never dreamed about"

her lovely hand is glowing from the light inside itself
from soaking in the esters stacked for miles on a single shelf,
holding my eyes still so she can see...
all the super undercover custom hybrids got to me.

it's too much, you're too late...
i want to see it all again.
she says "keep this benzene ring around your finger
and think of me when everything you wanted starts to end."

and i saw living lusters form in pools beneath her feet,
invertebrates that only she can see
and i said, "what on earth are all these animals for?"
she says, "exactly, we're not gonna wait around here anymore."

systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud descend.
and i will keep you, i will keep you to the end.
set your head back low, watch my ears ring.
i will take care of you, i will take care of everything.

systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud rescend.
and i will keep you, i will keep you to the end.
set your head back low, watch my ears ring.
i will take care of you, i will take care of everything.

it's too much, you're too late...
too much, you're too late
higher than my distance to the ground
and i think i see myself again through the pinhole.
but the pinhole captures all of you.
and the pinhole captures all of you.

it's too much, you're too late.

she don't stand, she glistens
and this is how we listen
this is how it goes

she doesn't glow, she glistens
grace the (?) sickens
you didn't have to be so
fucked up from the get go

your listless falling feels the same
as two lives tripped on a single string
and hopeless, helpless now
godspeed to another space
?and sees?

ascention is ours
ascention has opened up here now
with you in my failing arms

and she doesn't glow, she glistens
says this is how we listen
and if we go slow
we both can know

i'm sure by now we're fading out
so this is what my life's about
i didn't have to be so
fucked up from the get go

your listless falling feels the same
as two lives tripped on a single string
so hopeless, hapless now
we godspeed to another space
?as he sees?

ascention is ours
ascention has opened up here now
with you in my failing arms
with you in my fading arms

she doesn't glow, she glistens
she doesn't glow, she glistens

your listless falling feels the same
as two lives tripped on a single string
so hopeless, helpless now
we godspeed to another space
?as he sees?

your listless falling feels like nothing else we think about
i'm blinking out, i'm blinking out, i'm blinking out

ascention is ours
ascention has opened up here now
with you in my failing arms
you're blinking out in my failing arms

all awake at bedside lifting through the afternoon
they said she says "must be by me.
problems at the rose den
tiny movements at the well
faces alive they'll sweep by me."

communicate with the pack as well
it's good how pure we can make him smell
around you
it always feels the same

resting in sunspots in the fading afternoon
aphids abound, it's where they're only here to sleep by me

we need the light off and the window halfway wide
aphids alive they sleep by me

crumples of silence we are
ringing off on our bells
got on it
no way before us
in uncovered wakes in a real cell

lovelaced companions made the day slip past too soon
aphids astound, that's where they're only here to sleep by me
arrested movement at the rose den and the well
aphids alive, they'll sleep by me

crumples of silence we are
ringing off on our bells
got on it
no way before us
in uncovered wakes in a real cell

crumbles of silence we are
each and all to ourselves
got on it
no way before us
in uncovered wakes in a real cell
