lets play house today. wallpaper kiss lampshade. and ill be me and i can see you being you. cause im a little tiger youre a little lily too. sunday morning parade. sleeping through church and state. you could be my wife if i could be less a jerk. and i could be your husband with a whole lot of work. well im just a bear whos lost his roller skate key. "well you remember that episode, i remember you and me." kissing durring commercials is all id really need.
3.
and you will remember the words she said. that cut you down till your quiet and dead. till all youre thinking is how youre always thinking about her little face. and things youve come to know the most, like your future wife and your future home. forever its maybes. just maybes and maybes. just fables in picture books. the robbers tales will rob us blind. they pull from the front but stab from behind. but you wont see her there. and you wont see her anywhere new. but you will feel her everywhere in you.
4.
you have such happy halo hopes. just doing handstands by the coast. and im a ghost. but you know what they say and its often thought the truth. you really have to break my heart for me to ever really really love you. in a little boat singing to you is me. two tiger lilys in an arcade sea. breakers and bouys i loved you truely. your eyes like due tides they do rise. row the boat home. speak no kiss and tell. im sorry i got lost in all the sea and swell. my eyes they just dont do it right. your eyes they just dont do it right.
5.
its 3am so where are you? tv snow in the living room. this bed is cold so id assume your quietness is all a ruse. go back to bed my little pet. i love you for your foolish head. but im not real i could dissapear. a gentle echo between your eyes. its your eyes that are tricking you as you walk from room to room. but patiently you just want truth. youre not a ghost if i haunt you. i wake to sounds of tip toe feet. im afraid your ghost will never let me sleep.
6.
it seems as though you only exist simply to twist my words to shit and my guilt to lists and held fists. and a deep kiss will do little less than this. oh no oh no. my tigerlily rests in a housemaid dress in a mismade bed. oh no oh no.
7.
you were a motorcade and i was your jfk. and for a moment we were both ok. for a moment anyways. i have been ressurected. my heart my hands reconstructed. they say its time for our anniversary. these streets remember me. wreck me again. wreck me again. wreck me again. wreck me again.
8.
its so hard to say. i guess im ok. put down the keys. got lost today. and now begins the hardest part. telling all your friends youre just falling apart. and im all birds and dreams. and im all oceans and streams. i float around around around. and im all grass and greens. and im all tv screens and all the fuzz and noise and buzz. the click clack clack of the railroad track.
9.
so lets all raise a toast. to my pretty pretty host. her fingers crawl across the keys to please those who wouldnt leave. so consider the ghosts as guests. disease and all the rest. and we could dance on the roofs like we were brand new. and all the sheets in town would all be in use. and the sun comes up. we can make em all leave. we can make em all leave. we can make em all leave. we'll wake to find the ears of our toast hanging on a telephone pole blowing in new england days. just as white flags showing their age. a white flag showing its age. just white flags showing their age.
