Pull down the shades, lets kill the morning |
|
Lets kill the morning, let it die |
|
Will your eyes flash out a warning |
|
But they'll be another morning after afternoon and tonight |
|
**** long hours sick with singing |
|
Sick with singing the same songs |
|
In the bars, they'll soon be drinking |
|
Lets cash my check and drink along |
|
Old times, hello, hey, |
|
I've missed you |
|
Old life, hey now, let me in |
|
Because you win on every issue |
|
Now, can I kiss you? |
|
Don't you care how long it's been? |
|
It has been so many years, |
|
I lived my yearning |
|
But in every bed, it led me through |
|
They only bloom on what was burning |
|
And it grew, the fire grew |
|
And now with nothing to consume |
|
It's turned on me in my glass room |
|
Where I'll burn, you think |
|
I'm finished |
|
Think I'm not winning |
|
Well, go on, assume |
|
So, take me, |
|
I'm yours, morning starship |
|
Sparkling stars line your lights as they lift off the loneliest street corner this clown has yet leaned against |
|
I'll let all these fine faces fold into me |
|
The warmth from the space lights illumines the sea as the laughingest mouths wetly open, but we set them sighing |
|
We'll take them flying |
|
And we'll take this man left almost passed out |
|
Cause we're pretty sure he needs a hand |
|
He says he can't stand |
|
And when we pick him up |
|
He asks us where this ship will land |
|
But he knows we know it isn't coming down |
|
He knows we know we'll fly so far |
|
Til finally stars hold him in all around |
|
Til he forgets the ground |
|
Til he forgets the crawling way |
|
Real people sometimes are |
