Bright Midnight We live on midnight island We live on a bursting ship We live on a captive comet We live in the wilderness of universe and mind We live in infinity, in infinity, in infinity With skies made of large dark eyes Star buzzes, cloud steam Eyes, and ideas, uh-uh, i-i's But we can't see the stars, or even hear them singing We know not the gasping, our midnight Is bright. Everyone's unemployable, driving out on the highway, 44 east or 55 south oxygen to blood to oxygen to sound let sound become skin let it follow you in to the bright bright midnight a moon descends on the wolf howling into the skies eyes and that is where we want to be in that spacious empty sea take us to the place where we are lost we want to be lost in wilderness take us to the place where we are gone we want to be full of song
