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 magazine -
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
it 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 could 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
through His flint glass
seeing all of you
immersed in His sepia
Into every young man's
Bedroom - you gave it up
on DVD and magazine -
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
i seems like they're drowning"
So I went by
cause I had the time,
and told the Northern Lights
to keep shining
they told me to tell you -
they're waiting
on my way up north
up on the Ventura
I pulled back to 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
things you said hat 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
whenever I feel
Down New Mexico way
something about
the open road
I knew that we was
looking for some Indian Blood and
find a little in you find a little
in me we may be
on this road but
we're just
Imposters
in this country you know
So we go along and we said
we'd fake it
feel better with
Oliver Stone
will I
almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
I don't know what
takes hold
out there in the
desert cold
These guys think they must
Try and just get over on us
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 was ridin' by
ridin' along side
for a while till lost me
and I was ridin' by
ridin' along till you lost me
till you lost
me in
the Rear
View
you lost me
I said
Way up North I took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and I put the Hood
right back where
You could taste heaven
perfectly
Feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back
And I - I don't -
didn't think
we'd end up like
like this
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 Persion
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 from year to year
with secrets we've been
keeping
Though you say you're
not a Templar man
you tell me to cheer up
you suspect we're
oddly even
Even still
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
and begin to recall
things that you say
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
Thought I knew you well
Thought I had read the sky
Thought I had read a change
in your eyes
so 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
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
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-made found her at the
End of a chain
"time to race" she said
"race the downhill"
Behind crystalline
irises
loons can dive
where the world
bleeds

your eyes
on her

look

keep
your eyes on

Not sayin
Not charmed at all
Not sayin
that you weren't
the fall
But I was alone 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
Dive 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 it all
Saw me melt
into your
native shelter
Where you carved my
name
Paper tigers scare me
and came
Alive
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"
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
Temptations'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
In our hand
an old old
old thread
Trail of Blood
and Amens
Greed is the
gift for the
sons of the
songs
Hear this prayer
of the
wampum
This is the tie
that will
bind us
don't make me come to Vegas
don't make me pull you out
of his bed
I am vigilant
that it will not be you
on the menu
he's serving up
for his friends
don't make me come to Vegas
don't make me 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 a dealer of men,
they called him
the prince
Prince of Black Jacks and
of women and of anything
that 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 desert's kiss"
I could slip
through your net
"over my dead body"
slip through your hand
again and again
slip through your hand
again and again
don't make me come to Vegas
don't make me come to Vegas
don't make me come to Vegas
hmmm
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 witht
Me or not
you say
this time
decide"
Balmy days
sweet sangria
she's been gone
have you see
her
senorita
shyly turning
away
leaving me
our
fading
flame
Yeah you think
about that
What you Believe
in
It matters
now
to you and me
What you believe
in
I'm
Takin'in
I said
I'm
Taking 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
sweet sangria
she's been gone
have you seen
her
senorita
shyly turning
away
leaving me
your
fading flame
Yeah you think about that
What you
Believe in
It matters
now
to you
and
me
so
you give me
a no Window
I ask you.
give me
a Bloodless
Road
Tell me
Why does
Someone have to
lose?
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
If there is a Horizontal Line
that runs from the MAP
off your body straight through
the Land shooting up
right through my heart

Where you end

cloud"

Itself

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 From Soul
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
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
Oh Zion please
remove your glove
+ 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 could have spared her
oh but no
Messiahs need
people dying in their
Name

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
but in some ways
I don't think it gets
any easier
your walking
on the water Bit
by far my
favorite one,
But now
it seems
we're drowning
in a
drop of water
Love
and even as
I'm climbing up the stairs
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
I know there's Heaven
there
and then Empty arms
that comes with the
Morning Star
well, Life Lines and
suicide crimes
there's something every day
and there's someone always
paging my mrs. jesus
your walking
on the water Bit
by far
my
favorite one,
But now
it seems
we're drowning
in a
drop of water
Love
and even as
I'm climbing up the stairs
I know there's Heaven
there
and then Empty arms
that comes with the
Morning Star
so if you get the Jones
at the crossroads
the personals are great
If you're my way
let me love you
mrs. jesus
Lily is dancing
on the table
we've all been
Pushed
too far
I guess on days
like this
you know who your
friends are
Just another Dead Fag
to you that's all
Just another Light missing
on a long Taxi ride
Taxi ride
And I'm down to
Your last cigarette and
this "We are Oone" crap
as you're invading
This thing you call
Love -- she smiles
way too much but
I'm glad you're
on my side, sure
I'm glad you're on
my side still
You think you deserve
a trust fund
Just because you
Want one
Sure you talk the talk
when you need to
I fear
the whole world is
starting to
Believe you
Just another Dead fag
to you that's all
Just another Light missing
in a long Taxi line
Taxi line
And I'm down to
Your last cigarette and
this "We are one" crap
as you're invading
This thing you call
Love -- she smiles
way too much but
I'm glad you're

I'm glad you're on
my side
sure
I'm glad you're on

I'm glad you're on
my side still
got a long Taxi ride
got a long Taxi ride
you caught me lingering
in another girl's
paradise
the way she paints
the world --
I want that in my
life
Emeralds, you should know,
are renting in her meadow
with a stroke
beauty lives
how could I resist
you are Desire
when it all is said
said and done
who can Love you
and still be standing
there's Mary calling
up a storm
can I take from you
and not keep taking
naked as day
Gemma follows him
Does it all come down to
the thing one girl fears
in the night
is another girl's paradise
through twists and turns
Jasmine foxed me
in her grove
arms filled with
Honeybells, St. Michaels
Sanford Bloods
"you have come to discover
what you want"
what i want is not to
want what isn't mine
"But I am Desire"
when it all is said
said and done
who can Love you and
still be standing
there's Mary calling
up a storm
can I take from you
and not keep taking
naked as day
Gemma follows him
Does it all come down to
the thing one girl fears
in the night
is another
girl's
paradise
Does it all
come down to
the thing one
girl fears
in the night
is another girl
is another girl
is another girl's paradise
if you're a thought
you will want me
to think you
and I did
invite a Guest
up until you announced
that
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
Her on her path
Scarlet's Walk
through the violets
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
if you're a thought
you will want me
to think you
and I did
and I did
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
All that she loves
and even wait
for their
Saviour
to come
And in some things
maybe he'll be right
But as always
The thing that be
Loves he will
change from her
sunwise to clockwise
to soul trading
still she'll lay
down her Body
covering him all
the same
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
Sights and Sounds
pull me back down
another year
I WAS HERE
I WAS HERE
Whipping past
the reflecting pool
me + you
skipping school
And we make it up
as we go along
We make it up as 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 so fast -
you'll say
as we are looking
back
and then we'll
understand
we held gold dust
in our
hands
Sights and Sounds
pull me back down
another year
I WAS HERE
I WAS HERE
Gaslights
Glow in the street
(flickering past)
Twilight held us
in her palm
as we walked along
And we make it up
as we go along
We make it up as we go along
Letting names
Hang in the
air
What color hair
(auburn crimson)
Autumn knowingly
Stared
And the day that
She came
I'm freezing that
Frame
I'm freezing that frame
And somewhere Alfie smiles
and says "Enjoy her every cry
You can see in the dark
Through the eyes
Of Laura Mars"
- How did it go so fast -
you'll say
as we are looking
back
and then we'll
understand
We held gold dust
in our
hands
in our
hands
.Go back to the Garden.
