I see you gracefully swimming with the country club women
in the Greenwood southside society pool.
I love your amethyst eyes and your protestant thighs
you re a shimmering socialite jewel.
From the Carbon Dioxide Riding Academy
to the children s crusade marching through the downtown.
Well I think I d die see, if you just said hi to me.
When something breaks it makes a beautiful sound.
Sometimes I feel like I m watching the world
and the world isn t watching me back.
But when I see you, I know I m in it too.
The waves come in and the waves go back.
The kids in the corner all covered in dirt.
Caught trespassing under the moon.
My father came in from wherever he d been
and kicked my shit all over the room.
All over the room
All over the room.
[Instrumental]

The room is dark and heavy with what I want to say.
I see murals in the radio static and on your blue blue jeans.
* *
What would you say if I asked you to run away?
It s been done so many times I hardly know what it means.
*
I took these blue arrangements and threw them in the sea
when older waves from older caves brought them back to me.
* *
I took these blue arrangements and stored them on a shelf.
With change on the mantle and time in a candle,
in the end a boy raises himself.
