When you know as well as me;
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Some things are too hot to touch;
The human mind can only stand so much
But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past;
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Whatever you wanted;
Slipped out of my mind
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.
They tell me everything is gonna be all right;
But I don't know what "all right" even means
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
I couldn't see what you could show me;
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm
I don't want to fake you out
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Does she know I still care?
Roses are red, violets are blue;
And time is beginning to crawl
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
Don't trust me to show you beauty;
When beauty may only turn to rust.
The world of illusion is at my door
Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.;
Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
She knows where I'd like to be;
But it doesn't matter.
Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.
Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.
It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun
