lyrics

Writing in bed,
observing a bobsled of imagined friends
as it whips around my head.
Emptied pens
lie in between
old postcards and dried carnations
on the left of my bed.

And I want to wake up on the morning of a day
that is naturally gray,
no one’s died while you’re on your way,
and you’re ignoring all my queries
into possible hideaways.

And I want to wake up,
check the listings
and think of my long-lost friend
who taught me to buck the system
and I’m gonna miss him all over again.

Yes, I’m going back again.
Into a quantum haze.
Instead of dignifying memories,
I just look back on college days.

And I want to wake up on that morning
On the porch of the house we shared.
A sullen mist is on Tappan Square
and you’re ignoring all my talk
of possible crosses to bear.

And it is my sober yearning
to reach the end of this year
and conclude that life’s perfection
is reading under the stairs.

But the pleasures of the bachelor are wearing thin.
I’m done with savoring failure, but too scared to win.
And I wonder what kind of trouble I think I am in.

From the gutter to the doorway, chanting endless times.
The rest of the time spinning friendless rhymes,
and plotting a surer way.

And I want to give up all the boring
sentimental games,
give some faith to the holy names.
I got sick, dropped out.
Really there’s no one I would care to blame.

And I want to wake up to the story
that is yet to be made,
with no respect to the debts I’ve paid,
or else I’ll just keep searching for possible hideaways.
And I still look for possible hideaways.
