| If the dreaming keeps you up
|
| I’ll try to turn it down a notch
|
| Just a reflex, just a joke
|
| Just a way to keep it primed
|
| If you want to take a break
|
| Or maybe slow it down a while
|
| I can only wish you all the luck
|
| And all the time
|
| You look so beautiful
|
| You look so radiant
|
| You look resplendent
|
| In your element and in your prime
|
| Oh you look so dangerous
|
| So obvious and so elusive
|
| Like a falling comet
|
| In your prime
|
| I don’t want to bring you down
|
| So let me reinvent myself
|
| Everything that rises
|
| Must resolve
|
| Open up that almanac
|
| And point a finger to your favorite page
|
| Cut to black, a hazy green
|
| Dissolve
|
| Think of all the flesh that feeds the worms that feed the dust that feeds the
|
| earth that rises up to strike us up down with its cool resolve again and again
|
| and again
|
| If you want another cup
|
| Well, let me crack the seal and bring it to your lips
|
| I love to see the candle fade away
|
| If you want to raise a fuss
|
| Well, I’m the audience you want
|
| It’s so hard to make it today |
