You know the moon controls what you think you do
And all the eyes in the ceiling they are looking at you
But they don’t think you’re cute, no
They wanna kill you
And all the cats can get jiggy with feasting too
Now I’m running away but there’s nowhere to run
There are too many doors and no one’s having fun
You know, yellow soldiers love blue women
The man with the gun is killing the kitten
My ode to the elixir
Just ride it quicker
All alone you’ve lost your way
With me you will ride the wave
All alone you’ve lost your way
With me you will ride the wave
Now I’m confessing all my sins to the bartender
Who says to say a Hail Mary and go on a bender
Now a man walks in, conversation reset
He says he loves his life, finishes his cigarette
So we talk for a while, amble through our words
He says, “Hopelessness just comes with an unfurling world,
So I exist with the wind and I dance with the trees
Life’s a big weight load, I lift with my knees”
[Pre-chorus/Chorus]
To all the places untouched and the people unseen
Many, so many, just born to be mean
But their souls have sunken in their teeth for the night
Where the motel gives discounts to those with the bite
So you take out a room and find solace in sin
Please do shed your external skin
Placing bets, playing games you’ll never win
All’s well that ends well says the Man of Tin
I even considered
Petting the wolves before they ripped me to shreds
Woke up from that dream found I was already dead
And just at that instant, I felt detached from the bones
Of the vibrations around me, fell deaf to the tones
Like a mountain cast purple at the crest of the horizon
Heaven is a place that you can see but not feel
We all find ourselves so alone, veiled by smoke
If only we could reach out and
Touch
