There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
Whatever you gonna do,;
Please do it fast.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you;
It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Now the rainman gave me two cures,;
Then he said, "Jump right in.";
The one was Texas medicine,;
The other was just railroad gin.
When we meet again;
Introduced as friends;
Please don't let on that you knew me when;
I was hungry and it was your world.
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
Every brain is civilized,;
Every nerve is analyzed,;
Everything is criticized when you are in need.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe;
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said;
"You look like the silent type."
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss;
In the valley of the missing link
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,;
Get me a truck 'r somethin'.;
Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
It was then that I got up to leave;
But she said, "Don't forget,;
Everybody must give something back;
For something they get."
When you think that you lost everything;
You find out you can always lose a little more
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
Because something is happening here;
But you don't know what it is;
Do you, Mister Jones?
