Ode to Pearl Jam

Release me, for my Last Exit is here
Spin the Black Circle, like a sphere
Tremor Christ in his Corduroy pants
It's Not For You and we'll make a stance

In this State of Love and Trust, Why Go home
When you can stay here with me, leave Jeremy Alone
There's Indifference in her youth, but no one can see
Trapped in Satan's Bed, she knows she can't get free

In the Oceans she comes alive though in her Rearviewmirror
She sees a shadow in her Garden, the Dissident is nearer
She leaves her Footsteps on the Porch, Black Blood prints from her feet
They all said Go with the Even Flow, find a Betterman to meet

Or Wash the Yellow Ledbetter and hang around for a while
For just in case it gets too Deep, I'm Open to a Smile
Then the Animal attacks the Stupid Mop, the Leash cannot be found
He belonged to the Elderly Woman behind a counter in a small town

So Off He Goes to Lukin's, without making any sense
Sometimes he's got a Habit, lurking in the Present Tense
In my tree Who you Are shows your importance to Mankind
Hail Hail the Red Mosquito, Around the Bend I find

That it now has ended, Out of my mind i've said
As I walk the Long Road it's Hard to Imagine I got id
But there's no room for me to do a thing, you'll never understand
There's not much more that can be done...for i'm the Nothingman
