she's just along for the ride
wings melt and we hide all this means nothing to the sun are we leaking this one mine comes true here bruised, expanding clear mine full of you here I won't claim (?) in the sun are we leaving this one and swift out, she goes to the last frame short lives and long days in a fast state then we'll lay way to you your ocean spreads out on sunbeams radiant, knowing and your hand looks so nice in mine and its been a thousand new seams since inception and radiant, glowing they say that we're doing fine and your ocean spreads out on sunbeams radiant, knowing and your hand looks so nice in mine and the new-come struggle has both of us stapled to the island for awhile. and they say that we're doing fine |

we're two points collapsing
supercharged from the storm sun drench in our faces, too deformed bliss with intent to see us peeling locust skins from the locust tree hang on to these places she says to me clearly in this afternoon clearly we will have to turn and come home soon she fell into me a point collapsing with her loving face in the snow the mission could be corrupted and we wouldn't know {and we wouldn't know} my baby reads for the sound I've got my feet against the ground my baby reaches for the sound I'll take you anywhere you want loving us more as you see us peeling locust skins from the locust trees hang on to their faces she screams to me clearly in this afternoon clearly we will have to turn and come home soon |

I'm thinking of your wide open eyes
smiling as they feed the nerves that push the field of silver and the colorful lines like only you could see, like only you could do I'm picturing forcep in ice that you would see if you could reach and reconnect the engine to the delicate lens but I just sit and wait for a blip to break the perfect little then green line I dreamt of jet-less high seeing clouds from the other side and rolling softly until the underbelly shines and the back skims through the steam feeding upturned mouths and sprinkling away a dusty sleep you took too soon and you need watering if you are to bloom I'm thinking of your failing green eyes smiling as they greet the day they can't see me and now I'm picturing us opening up wide drinking down our days in haze and bliss together till it stumbles aside but I just sit and wait for a rhythm in a perfect little feeling it's true so soon and the coil speaks I'd like to see us together I'd like to lay my head low I need to lean on a soft one and bring the spin of the world to a halt and the coil sleeps and you've been gathering angels and fading further each day I love you right now as I never remember my face as it quietly you make your rain I dreamt of jet-less high seeing clouds from the other side and rolling softly until the underbelly shines and the back skims through the steam feeding upturned mouths and sprinkling away a dusty sleep you took too soon and you need watering if you are to bloom |

She hits the blade with both hands high
Downward is heavenward And we are not alone Condensers on and a drop is found A fingertip trace says to me "I can see you when you are red" A bed of dead leaves grace the ground A quick glance to the other side And we will not be found Symbionts in haste command "Come close", screams to me "I can see you above the rest" And through it all, she seems secure Downward is heavenward And we are not alone Head thrown back a second time Eyes shut, he yells above "Can we do this without a net?" |

The morning image from the satellites
Is all blue and green And we've all got wounds to clean Here's a rag, here's some gasoline She wakes up fine and rested well Released at last from in the sleeping cell Breathing comes with ease It's a sweet revenge, built on a chemical ride My medicine man is the best wires to the temples Place them on let's see how we sound It's all green to me What a sweet revenge It's all green to me See them lift off one by one, I see a cool spot here Let's bring her down, level to the ground A lovely mess that I am blessed to see, of me, of me She lifts her wings up high Sensors show a lifetime until we die And all the dreams' details perfected in the colored sky The morning image from the satellites Is all blue and green And we've all got wounds to clean Here's a rag, here's some gasoline It's all green to me (Lift up your skies and all the other times, you realize) It's all green to me (It lifts up your days in a single phase, I felt your hand) It's all green to me (Lift up your skies and all the other times, you realize) It's all green to me (It lifts up your days in a single phase) |

you swore the earth was round
and you said that there was no upside down I hit the starship left and let the parallax flip like you showed me in the lighthouse I did the math and it came up ones and 0's I know a girl who makes me shine my dreamboat's leaving on a submarine she's got a second set of tanks and all I ever want and need I know a gril that makes me whine my dreamboat scatters with her submachine she's got a second set of tanks and all I'd ever want or need and you swore the earth was sound and you said that we could go upside the ground but the starfish sends a message in code that you can't see from the lighthouse and we will dive in the afternoon. I took a simple time to wander engaging twilight through the trees if she needs help among the kelp ways, then I'm not tied to these no I'm not tied to these I know a girl who makes me shine My dreamboat's leaving on a submarine she's got a second set of tanks all I'd ever want and need and to the one who makes me whine my dreamboat scatters with her submachine she's got a second set of tanks and all I ever want or need for me |

I took a worn out strand of your cellophane hair
And stretched it sideways And oh my, my, slip though Between the seam with me My brain stopped working from the cold I sort of strayed from what we know So I'll be like you and do what's right And win a love I don't deserve out on the ice tonight Teach me the bluest song you know The moon ain't comin' up And I swear to God tonight it feels like snow I'm glad we got your hands warm So my arms can feel like trust again I can promise true waves When the summer comes The world still fits the same form We engraved when it all began Maybe catch a new wave Feels right, feels right So we ride whales and drag race time And I draw fires from the traces of trilobite hives You sleep like god inside her womb And you see clearly to the silicon wasteland They left inside my mind I'm glad we got your hands warm So my arms can feel like trust again I can promise true waves when the summer comes The world still fits the same form We engraved when it all began Maybe catch a new wave We've lost the road now, injecting charms And we care for all of ours We stand in rows now Transfer alarms just like the Inuit with the promise song To come down and see To come down and see To come down and see To come down and see (Your solvents frozen here) On the petal rung is all we have to see Enlarged inside as we espy the warming sea (Your breath diffused and never realized) Aside from where the panicked hide And I just a subtle lift provider on the other side |

I'm thinking of a number between everything and two
I'm thinking of a number between everything and two She said, you can find a space between my arms if you will stay Like if we ignore the systems, they'll just blink out and quickly go away She said," I'll keep all the signals that you send home to me And I'll meet you back here on the ground" It's lift off, lift off again, she's pissed off, pissed off again Moonlight brings me back again this day And I know if she had a way, I'd always be through And tethered to a glass ring, she keeps beside the phone And never ever stepping out into Blankness and darkness like underneath the leaf Have settled on me here and scraped away the sound She said, you can find a place inside my heart if you will stay And I need you back here on the ground It's lift off, lift off again, she's pissed off, pissed off again Moonlight brings me back again this day And I know if she had a way, I'd always be through And tethered to a glass ring, she keeps beside the phone And never ever stepping out into I'm thinking of a number between everything and two And moonlight brings me back again this day And I know if she had a way, I'd always be through And tethered to a glass ring, she keeps beside the phone And never ever stepping out into And moonlight brings me back again this day And I don't feel a thing here anymore The strings of information slowing to a stop The tether's end is slipping from its knot, I'm stretching out in two I'm thinking of a number between everything and two I'm thinking of a number between everything and two And it's molecules of you |

Electrified and lit up by an outline of herself
And smiling now as only she can be She said, "I made some new connections to astound them all In ways we've never dreamed about" Her lovely hand is glowing from a light inside itself From soaking in the esters stacked for miles on a single shelf Holding my eyes still So she can see all the super-undercover custom hybrids got to me It's too much, you're too late, I want to see it all again She says, "Keep this benzene ring around your finger And think of me when everything you wanted starts to end" And I saw living lusters form in pools beneath her feet Invertebrates that only she can see And I said, "What on Earth are all these ampules for?" She says exactly, "We're not gonna wait around here anymore" Systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud we send And I will keep you, I will keep you to the end Set your head back low, watch my ears ring I will take care of you, I will take care of everything Systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud we send And I will keep you, I will keep you to the end Set your head back low, watch my ears ring I will take care of you, I will take care of everything It's too much you're too late Too much you're too late Piloting my head spins to the ground And I think, I see myself again Through the pinhole But the pinhole captures all of you And the pinhole captures all of you And the pinhole captures all of you And the pinhole captures all of you And the pinhole captures all of you Too much, you're too late Too much, you're too late Too much, you're too late Too much, you're too late |

if we both stand with absent eyes
and think about the oceans, watch 'em dry we can see far to the other side it's you and i forever, we don't have to hide if we ignore the signals that mission control will send it's one big ship ride anyway, this hell will never end we gaze out on what they left of the stars all we see now we can take as ours you two've got just moments left to give come back now and we will let you live stay inside our blue protective eye we won't let them take you, we won't let you die my baby spins propellants, my systems set to blow she's at the milky way now, spelling into snow and she's constructed flashpoints to cover up the sun i sleep under glass, i know that she will wake me when she's done |

Morning scatters in and I am steady
Like a drug feeling out this one She wakes up smashed as hell And steadies her ass against the rail And bends before the pounding rain She had the widest bright ideas All along about my love And I need this fucking fix and I beg her To pick from one of the billion ways to feel no pain The morning after bends reflected And I can hardly stand the way This whole thing makes me seem She climbs out from a dream with lungs Hardly as she screams a stereo scream And bends before astounding rain She's got a system made of metal And magnet bits inside a brain She opens her box of tricks and begs me To pick from one of the billion ways to feel no pain She had the widest bright ideas That all the world would sleep away Until the nightmare ends Everyone is on wait, wait on the end Only uptight, love me good now She had the widest bright ideas That all the world would sleep away Until the nightmare ends Everyone is on wait, wait on the end Only uptight, love me good now |

She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars.
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars. She's not at work, she's not at school, She's not in bed, I think I finally broke her. I bring her home everything I want, and nothing that she needs. I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me. She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars. I found her out back sitting naked looking up and looking dead. A crumpled yellow piece of paper, with seven nines and tens. I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me. She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars. I thought you'd be there holding daisies, you always wait for me. She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars. |

Sleep comes to everyone while we wait for the Sunday afternoons
Sleep comes to everyone, everyone maybe yeah, but you Sleep comes to everyone while we wait, wide awake and blue Sleep comes to everyone, everyone maybe, yeah, but me and you And so I give myself away, to everybody everyday And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do And so I give myself away, unto everybody everyday And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do Sleep comes to everyone while we wait for the Sunday afternoons And sleep comes to everyone, everyone maybe, yeah, but you And I had this one figured out, that's why the suicide machine is built for two A simple sick device devised to overload on love To bring us colored dreams and soundtracked waves of fun And so I give myself away, to everybody everyday And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do And so I give myself away, to everybody everyday And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do Sleep comes to no one else like we have falling through the ground, fulfilling promises of endless summer nights, I'm losing ground, you're losing sound Somewhere through a thousand blues a dragonfly descends with just a whisper, "I'm lonelier than God" And all my wishes spin the fishes in the air and every one, a different shade of you And to the left where up is down now stands a zebra made of shapes of me, and silver and the sun So bring no guilt with you up above the flatline, let's just hit the sky exploding into one |

It's Eerie and it's awesome
How connected two pods scattered on the surface can become Lazy into one He knows lightnin' kills the other She can't stand to watch his petals fall It's better when cascades become like us all Afternoon a golden disengagement leaves a woman With a household left to fill Sit, and be still, send the voltage cross his ticker Watch the stars they start to flicker, and one by one levels fall Another drink my love, and make it tall enough So I can stand on it and see, all you've done for me A world of curves and lines electric Remember how you strung the colored lights, from Christmas tree to me |

the distance outside of you comes into focus, collapses away
loving me and hands to the glass and eyes to sky and glued to the south she waits to see she's looking for birds she met last fall, who said they would come back different than all she's waiting for six who know about sound, who'd promised to come back upside down and i like your raindrop collector, splash in my eyes and makes everything else look like you so hand me the glasses and teach me to use them, show me the window, i want to look too i'll take the glasses and cover for you, you get some sleep and i'll stay 'till two. i'm looking for six who know about sound, who promised to come back upside down she's got colors to spare and i don't care what they choose and i've got nothing to do and nothing like you left to lose |

you'd prefer an astronaut someone to relate to and someone to command and i would be a simple man i could hardly wait for my stars to fall in line and synchronize and shine a wasted string of years, and a wasted string of lies it's still the same to me it's a waste of a song you're a waste of my lungs it's a waste of a song i'd like your face gone and in its place the sun and i would be an astronaut for i have come to surface to catch some light and feed and i have everything i need and i could hardly wait for my stars to fall in line and synchronize and shine a wasted string of years, and a wasted string of lies you're still the same to me you're a waste of a song you're a waste of my lungs it's a waste of a song |

morning gray ignites a twisted mess of foreign shapes and sounds
i wish the ceiling was the ground i'll send you flowers made of silent tiny pieces of the sun to help me make up for this one while you send me tidal waves of love when you're alone and i can't remember what you do to find a way to turn the signal back to heaven sounding blue and bring me faithful back to you and she don't hold me right, she's never going to get me there not tonight if we break off gently in slow motion, spinning outward into space my hand always floating gently at the wheel while you sweetly hold my face and i need you to give it meaning, i need you to share the view or it becomes a time for me to love myself like every other thing i do |

Before we steam and send, steady to the sun
A simple tale of woe, your hearts will be undone A love song to everyone I know Arms wide open, here we go She weaves a trail of petals through the embryonic ice Her hair is warm to the touch, her flowers twice as nice And if he stands on the moon he can barely catch her eyes Always open to the sky And so we land only to find we never left the ground Please leave the walls and the floors exactly as you found A love song to everyone I know Arms wide open, here we go Here we go Here we go Here we go |
