You go on ahead for a while, I would like to follow you a while
You go on ahead for a while, I would like to just follow you a while
I'd like to watch the white flash of your heels as they take turns
Breaking the desert heat, to beckon me in languages I've never learned
And I'd like to have you navigate to hills where no musicians live
And on the way decide what 'bendings' of your will you're willing to forgive
And I'd like to think the actors never banded
And I'd like to throw this trumpet down and go on empty handed
And I'd like to think I am not one of them, but I know I am
So I'd like to just follow you a while
You go on ahead for a while, I would like to just follow you a while
And you go on ahead for a while, I would like to just follow you a while
And when me and the boys were out we killed a thousand butterflies
so I put their wings into my mouth and said a prayer for our safe arrival
And then a big black car crossed our path, and I wondered whether or not that shit was empty
You go..
See the sirens and the lizards flick their tongues behind the stage
See the actor keep a ritual to keep them all at bay
He would like to come home naked without war paint on his face
And appear before you virgin white if virgins are still chaste
So wait, you've got to wait, and you've got to wait, and you've got to wait
And you've got to wait, and you've got to wait, and you've got to wait for me
And I'll appear before you virgin white if virgins are still chaste
Then I'd like to just follow you a while
If there are two eyes in my head, there are four seasons in a year
and reflections on the water of a burning yellow sphere
And the days add up to weeks, add up to months, and add up, and add up
And add up, and add up, and add up, and add up, and add up, and add up, and add up
And If there are two eyes in my head, there are four seasons in a year (Add up, add up, add up, add up)
And reflections on the water of a burning yellow sphere (Add up, add up, add up, add up)
And the days add up to weeks, add up to months, and add up, and add up to years (Add up, add up, add up, add up, add up)
add up to years, and add up to years, add up to years, and add up oh (Add up, add up, add up, add up, add up, add up, add up)
And if reflections on the water sometimes look like burning tears
We can watch them changing shape without pushing off the pier
