sifting through your albums a tiny, trembling thought a pulsing papercut upon rememberings where can i find meaning in a dirt road up a hill a two-tone white and yellow hellman minx hide it away hide it away hide it cause you told me so hide it away so come on all you phonies abscess of the world come on all you raving lunatics love me like a lover not that strange, old-fashioned way where you take my name and give to me a son who can remain hide it away hide it away hide it cause you told me so hide it away where can i find meaning in a dirt road up a hill if im the robber, wheres the damn police? hide it away hide it away hide it cause you told me son hide it away

it makes my spine tingle it makes my hair stand on end i never knew that, did you? all along? your head is in a cloud with everything allowed you cannot see the signs depending on a time uncertain why the curtain for the other side? im running down your driveway your tears still falling down my face oh, hallelujah yelling what a waste its almost light outside youve nowhere left to hide and i will disappear in waiting on a doubting thomas on a promise of two thousand years oh he better get it right! unto the levee-children! unto the numberless! unto the secular-profane! unto the ready love! unto the ready love! unto the ready love! i feel like a gunman i feel like a goldfish damn, i feel like a woman all along

comfort me i think this plane is gonna fall out of the sky and i might not even die should i live to tell the tale theyll put my body in a sling but you say thats not a thing you want me to hug my self in a straightjacket comfort me i think this plane is gonna crash into the ground and kill everything around should i live to tell the tale then i will say i told you so a million flights ago fancy that, you want me to hug my self in a straightjacket i been taking a pill a day they say “crazy is as crazy does” but i been taking my pills everyday what if im a loon to do everything they say? so lets hug our self in a straightjacket what if i went insane in the membrane? what if i went insane in the brain? what if i went insane in the membrane? what if i went insane in the brain?

can i really feel the greater waves alighting on the shores of time? in a better mood i will declaim these differences of yours and mine oh and its been fairly easy til now to make all the judgements i want but where can we take it from here? whoa! jesus was a guy with big ideas like many men of history now theyre all coming for to carry me away but theres no river strong as me whoa! but, oh, im in amazement amazement at the things you never knew that you could say but youre completely unaware and if you could put it into words then you would surely take me there but, oh, youre in amazement amazement whoa! weve lost our hold of happiness weve reconfigured our good faith they made us clean their bloody mess they fed us money and we ate weve lost our hold of happiness weve reconfigured our good faith they made us clean their bloody mess they fed us money that we ate we leave our children servitude their only fate! can i really feel the greater waves colliding on the shores of time in a better mood i will declaim these differences of yours and mine taken away for now! you might not say something, finally: whoa!
