lyrics

I.

You can save your money
and your negatives
but spend your soul right here
You can leave your shoes
In the river bank
There’ll be nothing more to fear

You’re the cloud who rose
from the manhole
The man whose thinking aloud
Got in the way
Of the thought of it all
Who blends in with the crowd

You can laugh yourself to tears
If you want to my love
but why are you crying for dead?

There’ll be no point in naming
Comparing my love
Where we humans fear to tread

You can dream yourself to sleep
If you want to my love
But try not to wake your dead

Remember their names
And their numbers my love
They are losing interest
Quickly in your waking head

II.

You’re the tire who’s retiring
to the rubber tree
Who’ll hang himself no more
The windows and snowmen
The bottles and the tears
Winding up on the shore

You can spend your time with a see monkey
And expect something in return
Maybe you go blind
Lose the keys to your cage
With some time in your pockets to burn

You’re the glue who’s come undone
Underwater
Made into horses again and again
The hydrant in the stars on fire
The water breathing dragon again and again

And again and again and
Again and again and
Again and again and
