You must try some of my purple berries
I been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
Window wide open, African trees
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze.
Not a word of goodbye, note even a note,
She gone with the man
In the long black coat
Straight as an arrow
Defect defect
Not straight, not so straight
Reject reject
Towards anti-social
So dumb so dumb
Standing on the stairs
Which words to say...
And I should have told him, "No, you're not old."
And I should have let him go on...smiling...baby-wide.
Ghostly image of fear
Mayday mayday
Gonna leave this region
They'll take me with them
Dimension seven
I can't seem to find the right lie
Insanity's horse
Adorns the sky
I can't see your face in my mind
There are no mistakes in life some people say
It is true sometimes you can see it that way.
But people don't live or die, people just float.
She went with the man
In the long black coat.
It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat,
She gave her heart to the man
In the long black coat.
Lather was thirty years old today,
And Lather came foam from his tongue.
He looked at me eyes wide and plainly said,
Is it true that I'm no longer young?
And the children call him famous,
what the old men call insane,
And sometimes he's so nameless,
That he hardly knows which game to play...
Cold, cold morning
Ghostly image of fear
Mayday mayday
Gonna leave this region
They'll take me with them
Dimension seven
I have faced it
A life wasted
I'm never going back again
Having tasted
A life wasted
I'm never going back again
I escaped it
A life wasted
We are leaving
You don't need us
Go and take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this foreign land
Somewhere where we might laugh again
Very free
And gone
how I've loved you
Since the day you first told me your name how I've loved you
Since the day I first walked you from school
Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
Theyre going to destroy
Our casual joys
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth.
An eye for an eye
And a truth for a truth
And anyway I told the truth
But I'm afraid I told a lie.
I..am..not..afraid..to..die.
I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields,
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner meals
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone
I been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
Window wide open, African trees
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze.
