Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me Fluorescent and starry Some of them, they surprise. The bus ride, I went to write this, four a.m., this letter. Fields of poppies, little pearls. All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed each and every one a little scary, I said you name. I wore it like a badge of teen age film stars, Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras Dreaming of Maria Callas Whoever she is. This fame thing, I don't get it I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves I can take you far. This star thing, I don't get it. Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near It tastes like fear. Will you live to eighty-three? Will you ever welcome me? Will you show me something that nobody else has seen? Smoke it, drink. Here comes the flood. Anything to thin the blood, these corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet. Phone, eat it, drink. Just another chink, Cuts and dents, they catch the light. Aluminum, the weakest link. I don't want to disappoint you I'm not here to anoint you I would lick your feet but is that the sickest move, I wear my own crown in sadness and in sorrow And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange? My loss, and here we go again. Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near. It tastes like fear. Look up, what do you see? All of you and all of me Fluorescent and starry. Some of them they surprise. I can't look it in the eyes Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, Kerosene cherry flavored neck and collar I can smell the sorrow on your breath The sweat, the victory and sorrow, the smell of fear. I got it. Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near. Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near. Tastes like fear...it pulls us near. It tastes like fear...it pulls us near. It tastes like fear, pulls us near. Nearer, nearer. I'll take you there, I'll take you there, I'll take you there, I'll take you there... |

Just arrived Singapore, San Sebastian, Spain, 26-hour trip.
Salt Lake City, come in spring Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me. Salt Lake City, come in spring. Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me. Here it comes (I'm carried away) Here it comes (I'm carried away) Here it comes. Departure, Godspeed, bless his heart, good lord. What a fuck-up, what a fighter. A free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider, hung on a line like a poisonous spider. Win a eulogy from William Greider, car crash, ptomaine, disposable lighter, A bus plunge, avalanche, a vinegar cider. Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider. Here it comes (I'm carried away) Here it comes (I'm carried away) Here it comes. Back, back. Go, go, go, go, yeah. Go, go, go, go, yeah. Go, go, go, yeah. Well, everybody is young forever. There's so much to tell you, so little time. I've come a long way since the whatever. Shit, I still see that word, I think of you. There is so much that I can't do, yeah. You will be young forever. There's so much that I can't do. There is so much that I can't do. Here it comes (I'm carried away). Here it comes (I'm carried away). Here it comes, back, back. Here it come (I'm carried away). Here it comes (I'm carried away). Here it comes, back, back. |

Let me ride on the wall of death one more time Let me ride on the wall of death one more time You can waste your time on the other rides but this is the nearest to being alive Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse The tunnel of love might amuse you And Noah's Ark might confuse you but Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death On the Wall of Death All the World is far from me On the Wall of Death It's the nearest to being free Well you're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel And maybe you're strong, but what's the use of ringing a bell The switchback will make you crazy Beware of the bearded lady Oh let me take my chances on the Wall of Death You are going nowhere when you ride on the carousel And maybe you're strong, but what's the use of ringing a bell The switchback will make you crazy Beware of the bearded lady Let me take my chances Let me take my chances Let me take my chances |
