I’ve been a long time singin’ this song, singin’ this all way home and
I been a long time singin’ this song, singin’ this our way an’
Dance! Dance!
For no one but yourself
Found out I’m finding, n’ feeling my own breathing time
I stay back lately, lately I groan old man sighs
Running like rabbits, they’re belly-side down, bat-like, I fly
I suck down peaches, and twilight, it grates
Old man, old man
Old man, old man
Skies!

We may be falling like coconuts
from a ripened tree along the salty breeze...
or we may be falling like uranium!
Drive real far to the lake in the crater
Mattress flew the car, but it missed, I think we’ll make it --
was the wildest way to go, out in the wild where our eyes will glow
Feed by the red hot fire that we made
Smoke the kernels out, wash it down with ginger ale
I think I feel somethin’ comin’ on, the move is small but it moves ‘til dawn
Childish, we shake like flies, oh, how we shake,
But babies we wake in hunger, oh, how we wake!
Laughin at the camp, call “Heima!”
You want me to talk, but I think I just forgot
This is the wildest way to go, look at your eyes, they are big and slow
Water, water, make for it fast!
You stick on the pavement and I’ll stick with the grass
This thirst is down in the ‘tom of me, my tongue can’t move when it’s so sticky
Childish, we shake like flies, oh, how we shake
but babies, we wake in hunger, oh, how we wake!
Lay us down in bags for a little while
I can see the light, and your hand is on my side
This was the wildest way to go, our bodies twitching to and fro

Tigers

Can’t say nothin’, nothin’, about somethin’, somethin’
Without wishin’ it had never been said
And when the tigers come, they come with mouths open
They’ll let their tongues roll right our their head
Call me foolish, boil your blood!
I’m still standing, you’re still stuck!

Suburban pining, lying down
We look to the stars -- how nice
We try ever striving, telescopes line
Our windows at night -- how nice

Oh, unexpected and tremendous, we may be falling
From the tree, we’re floating
And you aren’t in the knowing, and as the sun’s approaching
We are guardedly in arms
All the trees alive, I’d cut them down to get to you
Burn down all the chamomile and tend the fire to signal you
I’d swim for miles and still the wind for you to ride
I’d dim the lights
As we involve ourselves in new complications,
Try, an’ get back to a place we’ve never been before
And I cannot bend you, I am consumed
My words, I fear I may have lost
All the starry skies!
I’d tie them down to give to you
Lasso all the asteroids and throw them out to miss you
I’d risk the Nile, excite the atoms of different kinds
I’d dim the lights

Emily, we’ll never meet
You’ll always be my Caroline
Walking slowly, down an alley
I think I might be paralyzed
But what would the neighbors think?
As they watch from their kitchen sinks,
We might offend
Would she want to hold my books
And walk me down the boulevard?
And would she maybe, just maybe
Want to stop beneath the streetlight?

You are feeding me sunbeams
While I sit on the sill
Dripping flesh into
My eyes, my eyes
I am through you
Both seen and alive, and alive, and alive
Come and be, happiness
Shuttered and blind
Shivering, restless
Come and be, wavering thought
Walking in circles and hinting at...
I am animated in
Your stomach walls, alone
Sitting in sentiment
And suspiciously owned
And alive, and alive
And yeah, I would like to be
Closer to the bones that are rotting in me

Would you take me away?
And if I wanted to, would you stay, would you stay with me?
Cause I been feelin’ pretty useless
And I been growin’ pretty tired
So I went out into the forest
And I learned, I learned how cry
Cause sometimes we forget why
We don’t fly, but we run
Yeah, sometimes we forget why
We don’t fly, but we run
How we run
Oh lord, how we run
So I’ll sit still and wait for you
And when you feel it, too
I’ll be right here for you
And you’ll lay down, yeah, you’ll lay down with me
Cause I been told I have an old soul
And I been told never to lie
So I’ll leave, I’ll leave you with a whistle
And that way, you’ll know you are mine
Cause sometimes we forget why
We don’t fly, but we run
Yeah, sometimes we forget why
We don’t fly, but we run
Oh lord, how we run
Oh lord, how we run
