I want to take you
To the worst parts
Of this God awful city
And make you watch me
Buy drugs
I want to jump off a cliff
Like one of those west coast ones
So I remember all the good times
On my way down
Floating in the wake
Teeth ground down
Jaw bone on bone
I know which way the wind blows
Put your lips together
Sleight of hand to mouth
I know which way
The wind blows
I'm in the gutter
And I'm trying to shine
All the lights went out
On this stretch of 95
These forget me knots
Please forget me not
Skip to the end
I'm all thumbs today
Floating in the wake
Teeth ground down
Jaw bone on bone
I know which way the wind blows
Put your lips together
Sleight of hand to mouth
I know which way
The wind blows
Clarity
Take me home
Floating in the wake
Teeth ground down
Jaw bone on bone
I know which way the wind blows
Put your lips together
Sleight of hand to mouth
I know which way
The wind blows

Dizzy from my social graces
Our star maps are finger prints apart
I'm having a hard time adding all this up
There ain't no telling with this heart of gold
The phone chains have all gone dead
The operator politely listens
Chomping at the bit
Crushing red brick
Swimming ocean lengths
Waiting for the heavy sun
To shine down on me
Red faced and awake
We'll travel by night
With light and sound
The birds are nocturnal
All year round
We can keep dreaming
Shorelines and palm trees
We can keep dreaming
Never setting suns
We can keep dreaming
Common law isn't common
We can keep dreaming
Bliss like road flares
We can keep dreaming
Heat haze and rainy days
We can keep dreaming
Waves of catholic guilt
Keep your eyes
On the horizon
Get some sleep
When you can
Oh neblina
Leave it to the spanish
To make a crummy word
Sound so pretty

Even in my daydreams
I'm losing sleep
Even in my daydreams
I'm losing teeth
This place could burn to the ground
No one would even know
I love the way
The fluorescent lights radiate your eyes
I'll push the cart
I need something to lean on
So much for chivalry
In my day dreams
I'm losing sleep
In my day dreams
I'm losing teeth
Let me check my schedule
Pass me the tv guide
Got nothing on the books
You can see me playing possum
Lost track of all the lies
It's not you, it's not you
Surviving you, surviving me
In my day dreams
I'm losing sleep
In my day dreams
I'm losing teeth
I'll wear the pig
You wear the crown
Get the ether
I can't get this stain out
Know I ain't
Wherever you go
Don't go
Better slow down
Don't want to come here no more
