[00:00.00]
[00:12.83]One of those fucking awful black days
[00:14.67]When nothing is pleasing
[00:15.81]And everything that happens is an excuse for anger
[00:18.20]An outlet for emotions stockpiled, an arsenal, an armour
[00:23.54]These are the days when I hate the world
[00:25.92]Hate the rich, hate the happy
[00:29.06]Hate the complacent, the TV watchers
[00:31.81]Beer drinkers, the satisfied ones
[00:34.05]Because I know I can be all of those little hateful things
[00:37.33]And then I hate myself for realizing that
[00:40.91]There's no preventative, directive or safe approach for living
[00:43.90]We each know our own fate
[00:45.84]We know from our youth how to be treated
[00:48.68]How we'll be received, how we shall end
[00:50.93]These things don't change
[00:53.27]You can change your clothes, change your hairstyle
[00:55.70]Your friends, cities, continents
[00:57.51]But sooner or later your own self will always catch up
[01:00.36]Always it waits in the wings
[01:01.90]Ideas swirl but don't stick
[01:04.05]They appear but then run off like rain on the windshield
[01:07.26]One of those rainy day car rides my head implodes
[01:10.39]The atmosphere in this car a mirror of my skull
[01:13.55]Wet, damp, windows dripping and misted with cold
[01:18.21]Walls of grey, nothing good on the radio
[01:21.77]Not a thought in my head
[01:23.16]I know a place we could go where you'll fall in love so hard
[01:30.20]That you'll wish you were dead
[01:34.04]Let's take life and slow it down
[01:35.85]Incredibly slow, frame by frame
[01:38.40]With two minutes that take ten years to live out
[01:41.60]Yeah, let's do that
[01:47.37]Telephone poles like praying mantis against the sky
[01:50.40]Metal arms outstretched
[01:51.92]So much land travelled, so little sense made of it
[01:55.51]It doesn't mean a thing, all this land laid out behind us
[01:59.00]I'd like to take off into these woods
[02:00.75]And get good and lost for a while
[02:03.11]I'm disgusted with petty concerns
[02:05.11]Parking tickets, breakfast specials
[02:07.30]Does someone just have to carry this weight
[02:10.29]Be safe, be safe, be safe, be safe, be safe
[02:13.97]Abstract typography, methane covenant
[02:17.46]Linear gospel, nashville sales lady
[02:21.65]Stocky emissary, torturous lice, mad Elizabeth
[02:26.87]Be safe, be safe, be safe, be safe, be safe
[02:32.75]Chemotherapy bullshit
[02:35.70]I know a place we could go where you'll fall in...
[02:39.91]The light within me shines like a diamond mine
[02:42.41]Like an unarmed walrus, like a dead man face down on the highway
[02:46.45]Like a snake eating its own tail, a steam turbine
[02:49.99]Frog pond, two full closets burst open in disarray
[02:53.97]Soap bubbles in the sun, hospital death bed
[02:57.02]Red convertible, shopping list, blowjob, death's head
[03:00.80]Devils dancing, bleached white buildings, memory, movements
[03:04.53]The movie unpeeling, unreeling, about to begin
[03:08.84]I know a place we could go where you'll fall in love...
[03:14.32]I've seen your hallway, you're a darn call away
[03:17.76]I've hear your stairs creak
[03:19.30]I can fix my mind on your yes and your no
[03:23.53]I'll film your face today in the sparkling canals
[03:27.21]All red, yellow, blue, green brilliance and silver dutch reflection
[03:31.39]Racing thoughts racing thoughts all too real
[03:34.33]You're moving so fast now I can't hold your image
[03:37.01]This image I have of your face by the window
[03:39.80]Me standing beside you, arm on your shoulder
[03:42.44]A catalogue of images, flashing glimpses, then gone again
[03:46.02]I'm tethered to this post you've sunk in me
[03:48.96]And every clear afternoon now I'll think of you up in the air
[03:52.19]Twisting your heel, your knees up around me, my face in your hair
[03:55.98]You scream so well, your smile so loud, it still rings in my ears
[04:03.51]I know a place we could go where you'll fall in love so hard
[04:10.52]That you'll wish you were dead
[04:14.75]Inhibition, distant, tired of longing
[04:17.54]Clean my teeth, stay the course
[04:20.68]Hold the wheel, steer on to freedom
[04:24.61]Open all the boxes, open all the boxes
[04:29.29]Open all the boxes, open all the boxes
[04:37.27]Times Square midday, newspaper buildings
[04:40.25]News headlines going around
[04:41.90]You watch as they go and hope for some good ones
[04:44.04]Those tree shadows in the park
[04:46.08]They're all whispering, chasing leaves
[04:48.38]Around six PM, shadows across the cobblestones
[04:51.81]Girl in front of bathroom mirror
[04:54.09]She's slow and careful, paints her face green, mask-like
[04:57.53]Like Matisse,"Portrait with Green Stripe"
[05:00.07]Long shot through apartment window
[05:03.06]A monologue on top but no girl in shot
[05:06.49]The light within me shines like a diamond mine
[05:09.73]Like an unarmed walrus, like a dead man face down on the highway
[05:13.81]Like a snake eating its own tail, a steam turbine
[05:17.69]Frog pond, two full closets burst open in disarray
[05:21.42]Soap bubbles in the sun, hospital death bed
[05:23.46]Red convertible, shopping list, blowjob, death's head
[05:26.36]Devils dancing, bleached white buildings, memory, movements
[05:30.94]The movie unreeling, about to begin
[05:42.43]That was great by me
[05:44.97]Yeah? Mine were alright. Wasn't my best one but who cares
[05:50.89]That's the spirit
