|
The curtain's a sea anemone |
|
In the way it sways to the slow breeze |
|
I lie spread out on the floor, looking at these things |
|
Most of them are yours |
|
And it's so nice |
|
Sitting very still |
|
Without those old shoes |
|
I could never fill |
|
Starfish with its arms out in a daze |
|
Staring at the stars through an ocean haze |
|
Was I one you wished upon, burned out like a light bulb |
|
When you turned me on |
|
And it's so nice |
|
Sleeping here all alone |
|
With my ashtray |
|
White courtesy telephone |
|
Now I'm making out the shapes |
|
Like the shower rod, can it take my weight? |
|
I will tell you I am fine |
|
I got some news, friend, feels like I'm dying |
|
Turtle on its back in the desert sea |
|
And you look like a cool drink just slightly out of reach |
|
Draw myself into the shell |
|
Waiting on a sign from God or a nod from hell |
|
And it's so nice |
|
Sitting very still |
|
Without those old shoes |
|
I could never fill |
|
Now we're turning on the lights |
|
It's the first day of my second life |
|
Take my name off of the lease |
|
You can even keep the name, it never suited me |
