Jonathan Donahue [머큐리 레브]

If all my dreams were a tidal wave
And every day was Christmas
We could spend our lives in the drip
At the edge of the world
Cause love is something that you can't see
It's like telepathic surgery
And cuts and scrapes just like Iggy Pop thrown in a hole
If you take away my nerves
And leave just my words
Love would be the best thing in the world
You and me in a chrome reflection
We were born to suffer some
Please don't chase me from this jail
You know it looks so nice
If all my dreams were a microwave
And every day was summer
When I feel this way, you know
We should start our own religion
If you take away my nerves
And leave just my words
Love would be the best thing in the world
And if you take away my pain
Please don’t leave my brain
Cause when I think it hurts just the same
And if you take away my pain
Please don’t leave my brain
Cause when I think it hurts just the same

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you,
And I think to myself, "What a wonderful world"

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white,
The bright blessed the day, and the dark say good night
And I think to myself, "What a wonderful world"

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies crying
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever known.

And I think to myself, "What a wonderful world"
Yeah,I think to myself, "What a wonderful world"
Oh,yeah

I see blue
I see black
I see you
In a crack

I see snow [icy snow?]
I see cold [icy cold?]
I see someone
Getting old

and it's cold outside
so cold outside

I need pink
I need green
I need someone
Who sews up seams

I need everything

But it's cold outside
So cold outside

I see all the colors of the spring
I see you wearing my ring

And it's warmer outside
It's so much warmer outside

and it's warmer

Still you're there

I see you
in a crack
crack...
crack...
I will crack

Those seducers [4x]
bombed out lovers, gallant red flocks of mellow seducers, fine [find?] eager seekers, deep deef down
beautiful lines from above and we're all a-glow
raise her head and things get warm, hold on to its leg, before it flies away
sun lit walks, I feel no harm, my primitive words match my primitive heart [hide?]

it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam

[chorus] and of course it don't mind, chasing a bee inside a jar [x2]

Then like sheep led to sacrifial slaughter, they don't mind, but they oughta, all the time (they oughta)
their pretty shells are so inviting, well protected
their eyes are rivers, they give me shivers

[chorus]

it's not time for the real life [live?] sign, it's not time for these fears of mine [x2]
i'm feeling troubled, i'm feeling trapped, can't shake that bubble off my back



it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam [x2]

it's not time for the real life sign, it's not time for these fears of mine
i'm feeling troubled, i'm feeling trapped, can't shake that bubble off my back
i feel no harm, i feel no harm, ...feel no harm

[chorus]

its not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam

what once was lost will never be found, keep spinning in circles until you break new ground

No, I won't chicken out
Hey, wait, babe
Wait up now
Hey babe, wait up now
If we could find a space

Where we could both stretch out
Roll like Coney island cyclones
No, I won't chicken out
No, I won't chicken out

No doubt babe
No doubt now
No doubt babe
No doubt now

I spend all day
On your mom's couch
Spend all night
And I won't chicken out

No, I won't chicken out
Let's go out tonight
Find a sunny space
Picking up the skylab

Throw it back in space
No, I won't chicken out (I'm not messing with you)
No, I won't chicken out (I'm not messing with you)
No, I won't chicken out (I'm not messing with you)
No, I won't chicken out (I'm not messing with you)

I've seen you eat away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine*
I've seen you chisel away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine

and you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

I've seen you fritter away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine
I've seen you whittle away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the spine

And you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

I wonder why I stay
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine
I've seen you eat away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine

I wonder what to do


slow as a glacier takes to move on through the world

And you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

And you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

I've seen you chisel away
Hammer in place always in time
I've seen you chisel away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine

And you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

so you come dripping from the hive
glittering as you arrive
high half as long and twice as bright
see you burning from both sides (from both sides)
see you burning from both sides (from both sides)

you come slipping down the slide
dragging me by your side
phony colors in your eyes
soul's obscene but I don't mind (I don't mind)
you're so obscene but I don't mind (don't mind)
yea yea yea yea yea yea

you come whipping through my life
flipping out like some old wife
your syringe mouth is open wide
you go insane I go inside

I sensed a new scent
So innocent and bent.
I sense a new scent that's innocent and spent.
I feel good. Not so good.

You have to be joking
They wouldn't do what you said
Oh, my vision is blurred again
You have to be kiddin' me
They wouldn't do those unspeakable things
Oh, my Jesus
It's worse than you think

Stood here in the morning
Got no science to explain
Seems to me that God and the devil
Are both the same

You have to be lyin'
They wouldn't do what you told me about
Oh, my vision is blurred again
...is blurred again

"Space Patrol, uh... I gotta be brief. I said 'cheese!' My elastic's all stretched out. She's a gas powered witch, over."

I hold you in my arm...

now I know...

hold you in my arm
then I feel your charm
..in the sky don't mean no thing, no
....
..gone our separate ways

..woke up this morning

Clouds taste better than dirt
That's why you must evaporate above the earth
Pressure can make the clouds burst
Soon you wind up in the mud
Just where you were
Leaves may not reasons to believe in love
Can't you see to me she means the whole wide world
Queen bee shields my eyes
From the force inside of my mind
And the force they may you blind
Is beautiful
On the imaginary side
Even bored it is exciting
Being a drone is better than being alone
Bees may not be reasons to believe in love
Can't you see to me she means the whole wide world
Ain't yourself that fingers mean fun
Shake a quarter flip in the air is gone
In your silent fears it's first
A little bit of help and the tournament's over [and you try and get sober?]
See the bladder bleed from an itty bitty hole
Do the weird blitzing no, no, no
You bet your sweater should be all the way gone
These/bees may bot be reasons to believe in love
Can't you see to me she means the whole wide world

sunday night

I've finally found
I've finally found
something to plug up this snorry mouth
since the day ['cause today?] she said to me (she saw slee smore)
this house moves more than you (show so snow)
so I tell her I sleep (so so still snore)
to keep from thinking it through (bless me)
now it's all I can do ( shovel snow )
when you pull the sheets up overhead (sometimes so you know)
and she sends me out
to shove snow drifts in my bed (she sings sun she snore)
you'll reach for the door
arms feel weak
you'll make a mistake
and fly fly ahead
and it's all I can do
when you pull the sheets up overhead
and send me out
to shove snow drifts in my bed
today she said to me (sneer snore seer soar)
wanna get even with you more (sneer snore seer soar)
so I tell her she can (so show sea shore)
even more than before (full mouth sneer roar)
you'll reach for the door
and your arms feel weak
you'll make a mistake
and fly fly ahead
and it's all I can do
when you pull the sheets up overhead
and send me out
to shove snow drifts in my bed
I've finally found
I've finally found
something to plug up this snorry mouth
-?- see the sight
posts [puffs?] around my bed
you thrust up and down
arms around my head
pressures not mine
both in spirit and time
whisper wine
I've finally found
I've finally found
something to plug up this snorry mouth
so I bet she says to me (so show sneer snore)
need to see [to my side?] (seal the sown shear stone)
but by the time I made the bed (sneer snore sheer shore)
till you made up your mind (so so so so)
you'll reach for the door
arms feel weak
you'll make a mistake
and fly fly ahead
and it's all I can do
when you pull the sheets up overhead
and send me out
to shove snow drifts in my bed
I've finally found
I've finally found
something to plug up this snorry mouth
I've finally found
I've finally found
something to plug up this snorry mouth
this snorry mouth ( x 16 )

crash land in an obscene movie
and find yourself on an outstretched finger
a p/massive heart as a massive hole
you see faces that you did not know
it's exact their [little?] stinger's intact
they're designed [they decide?] to rule [rue?] the day [warmer days?]
their mouths are moving a million miles an hour
it's the only way, hey
you're seeing illusions [I've seen the legions?] in this house
the things we never talk about


so place your lips around the [his?] spout
and slowly blow yourself away

you think
you think
you think too much I think
I think you think too much I think
I think you don't know what you're talking about
you do, you do
I must be honest I hate [hit?] this stone [slower?] street [story straight?]
I park all ready to be robbed by people that I meet
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I hear
I know, I know, I know, got nothing to fear
you keep pushing
you keep pushing
pushy, pushy
don't push me
I'm an insect
I'm a figment
I'm a chief as a genuine minion
imaginations
imaginations
imagine my frustrations
I think [you pick?] a fight with a .45 caliber
won't [Lord?] help you
it was a dismal rain that cooled the hut [hot?]
when it trickled down we all saw spots
float over... float over
now I've been in jail for a million years
got all these people holding me back
I know, I know
I must be honest I hate this stone street
I park all ready to be robbed by people
I know, I know
and I'm growing tried
I'm growing tired
it's my favorite mangle
a fanciful tangle
that went down like the [V-neck?] fantastic spastic
[phonetic/fanatic/frenetic spasm?]
spasms and spasms
suffer the death of what you are
it's now, it's now
suffer the death of what you were
has no effect on a hard-boiled world
warm weary eyed
? catskill world
you must follow blind
just shoot a pigeon-holed pigeon
you're waiting to be sheave
just like you sheave that grazes all over your face
and you've got the urge to be a lightning bolt
and you've got the urge to be a lightning bolt
I've gotta tell you I just don't know
I've gotta tell you I just don't know
what the fuck you're trying to say
what the fuck, man
what the fuck you trying to say
just sit there and shut your mouth
just sit there and shut up

You can be my head
Oh, I really need one
'cause it's used all its better days
You can be my head
'cause I've ruined this one
Blasting holes where it used to be

And if it's not a big thing,
You could swap or lend me
You should stop and ask me


Be my head, and I'll be yours (2x)

You can be my head
Oh, they've eaten this one
Putting swirls in this giant hole
You can be my head
'cause I can't afford to buy one
Seeking stars in its other side


And if it's not a big thing,
You could swap or lend me
You should stop and ask me


Be my head, and I'll be yours (2x)
Won't you be my head, and I'll be yours
Be my head and I'll be yours (3x)

Stuck in the perpetual motion
Dying against the machine
The whole thing leaves
You a nothing instead of a these
The sun is black and the black halos fly
And your number is backwards again when you try
The sound is so cute when you're 22
When you're 22

Eggs break when you walk on the scramble
You're living against the machine
The whole thing leaves
You a nothing instead of a these
The bone is cracked and the cracked eggshells fly
And your number is backwards again when you drive
The whole thing's removed when you're 22
When you're 22

You're sorta stuck where you are
But in your dreams
you can buy expensive cars
or live on Mars
and have it your way

You hate your boss at your job
but in your dreams
you can blow his head off
in your dreams
show no mercy

And all your bad days will end
And all your bad days will end
You have to sleep late when you can
And all your bad days will end

[Break]

And all your bad days will end
And all your bad days will end
You have to sleep late when you can
And all your bad days will end...

It's all a waste of time again
She used to mow the lawn
She always wasted everyone
She always turned me on

Now she's turned a kind
That isn't so much in demand
And all us vegetables
Can waste our time on someone else


She had a cool invisible
Dog that she called Paul
We'd always sit around her house
Watchin' her feed the dog


Now she's got a man
Who don't like dogs, who just likes cars
She's just got a job
'cause times got hard, so Paul is gone


Now she's turned a kind
That isn't so much in demand
All us vegetables
Can waste our time on someone else


It's all a waste of time again (4x)

You're sorta stuck where you are
But in your dreams
you can buy expensive cars
or live on Mars
and have it your way

You hate your boss at your job
but in your dreams
you can blow his head off
in your dreams
show no mercy

And all your bad days will end
And all your bad days will end
You have to sleep late when you can
And all your bad days will end

[Break]

And all your bad days will end
And all your bad days will end
You have to sleep late when you can
And all your bad days will end...

Their wasn't any snow on Christmas eve and I knew what I
should do, I thought I'd free the animals all locked up at the zoo
I opened up the fence where the peacocks were, the lamas were
unleashed the snakes and seals could all get out, but they
Refused to leave....

All of the animals agreed they're not happy at the zoos
But they preferred to save themselves, they seemed to think
they could...

The elephants, orangutans, all the birds and kangaroos all said
thanks but no thanks man, but to be concerned is good...

It started to snow on Christmas Eve in the middle of the night
walkin through the state park zoo and everything is white...

Where does outer space end
it's sort of hard to imagine
is it real? Is it nothin, nothin?
Cause it's not so clear anymore to me...,

Why do birds always fly south
when sometimes its warm in yer headwound
is that nothin? Nothin?
Cause its not so clear anymore to me...
And if God hears all my questions
well how come there's never an answer?
Is it nothin, nothin?

Well it took some time
cause its a lot
God, it's a bunch
It's such a big, old, black golden buzz

And yeah it took some help
with lots of machines, the experts could tell
with their equipment pushed to the max...

And sure it seems easy now but I tell you what
We were perplexed finding the needle
in the needle's disguise

And now that it's conceived, the station has all
settled down, and I'm sort of relieved, and I'm
getting over it now...

I saw this bird fly off his head
without him ever lookin up
this here giraffe was never caught complainin
he wouldn't take skin off yer back.

And ya hear yerself
thinkin
and ya hear yerself
thinking
this here giraffe, laughed

I saw this man stick out his neck
with his binoculars intact
He couldn't tell the right side of his brain
Had just lost all interest in his left...
And ya feel yourself shrinkin
And ya feel yourself shrinkin
this here giraffe, laughed
this here giraffe, laughed
And ya hear yourself
And ya hear yourself
