Maniac, don't say it ain't nothin'
|
when I can see it in your eyes.
|
Of course, ceremonial weakness
|
lending them hard drugs.
|
But don't ask me if I understand
|
what is good for me tonight
|
|
Can't you see it's harmless,
|
a little light justice?
|
Some say, "So long. How could you?"
|
Some say, "Come, sit here by the fire."
|
I will just wave goodbye to ordinary
|
people's awkward situations.
|
Officer, you can take me,
|
but leave my daughter alone.
|
|
We could sit around forever, mama,
|
and find there are no stars in the sky.
|
we could page through
|
all our haunted diary thoughts.
|
I miss the way you stare at me
|
as if I were a memory.
|
|
Villain. Statue of marble.
|
And I don't want to touch your dark
|
thoughts anymore; let me leave them alone.
|
Now and then safe and sound
|
and send the clowns
|
to document with words and photos.
|
A brain on fire and slashed summer tires.
|
We all need somewhere to go.
|
|
There's some way out of this silent film
|
I've been living in,
|
but my mind got stuck and
|
I froze upon the burning coals
|
in another man's ritual.
|
|
We could sit around forever, mama,
|
and find there are no stars in the sky.
|
we could page through
|
all our haunted diary thoughts.
|
I miss the way you stare at me
|
as if I were a memory.
