heat seeking missile
laser-guided lover
twisting so slow
infrared eyes
tail made of smoke
you streak across the sky
searching for that hot white glow
you find me in my darkest hour
you can see me through the snow
I'm sleeping in your slipstream
got nowhere to go
I try to tell you where it is I'm at
but you already know

It's such a broad broad way
and at the end of the day
there's such a long way to go
but it's a bright bright day
so tell me why
tell me why I hide away
I'm drying up
haven't had enough
I'm so far away
I started seeing strings beneath the surface
now I'm seeing all kinds of things
deep below
there's a life giving glow
multiplying
and either way
there's no way to know
which way to go

one of these days
I'll scratch a hole right through my head
wondering where the feeling went
I miss the taste
of salty freezing cold concrete upon your lips
it's safe to say
that we're alone now
dancing for the taste
of blood
in a cold house
at the edge
of letting go
I came to slide
I like the underside
you taste like tangerine
I've got the wave machine
hey little almond eyes
I like the way you slide
and your moon shaped smile
I'd like to stay a while

serrated edges line the sides of my highwire
my lady luck's gone and run away
so here's to sailing on an open sea of destiny
with love as my guiding breeze
I saw your face drowning in the golden light
now I'm in the garden crying
erasing time
if all of this at once is really one and all the same
then I know we gone be alright
you stay home
I'll put on my winter coat
you stay home
I don't mind my winters cold
stay home

strap me to a chair
I'm leaving on a jet plane
leaking out the side of a stationary hole
been sleeping on my side
dreaming about you leaving me behind
you're sleeping on your side
and leaving me behind
but I'm already gone
sleeping under seizure
sleeping under seizure
sleeping under seas
I'm trying to put my head
through the mirror on the wall
thinking about the way things were before
I miss the way
we walked around that town
like we owned the place
now I can't even see your face

I'm done wasting my time
living locked in a cage
always searching for something
want to run away
I was walking the highwire
heard you calling my name
turned and fell and broke my head
now things'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
strained are the days
that we living in
and also dying
but I don't mind
had an officer knock on my door
he had something to say, he said
hey mister what you smiling for
can't you see that you're painted grey?
turned around and laughed and said
I wouldn't have it any other way
it wouldn't happen any other way

I still don't know
where we went so wrong
or if it was in the name of love
or in vain, my love
maybe they're one in the same
maybe we're one in the same
wasting away
like a slow summer day
waiting on a way
back to where we came from
I just don't know anymore
but I don't mind anyway

Overhead
04:31
|

|
sometimes I'm alone
standing on that overhead
I'm not looking down
standing all alone
over the interstate
at the edge of inner space
suddenly I'm on my way
a million miles an hour
inside of a lotus flower

Baby

I'm modern nature's slave
working in a bomb factory
if you don't love me when I'm waking up
then I'm going right back to sleep
if you don't love me by the afternoon
I'm walking down the street
going to see an old friend of mine
got what I don't need
what I don't need
you can call me crazy
but don't call me baby
I don't ever want to lose control
I don't even want to know
the way the moonlight dances
off your face
could peel the grey right off of a
rainy day
I got this feeling inside
it's so surreal
think I'll take a walk to the water
make a deal
