Never been...it’s close to me
Never been...this close to me
The head on the door was a drink

Barnes & Noble
Get lost and lonely
Boston Market
Lost and lonely
Dancing in a deeper snowshoe existing in the walls
Oh, you're just like the dream.
Dancing in the deepest oceans twisting in the water
You're just like a dream.
Dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her groan
Dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow
Existing in the water
You're just like a dream.
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream.
Just ask Kevin
Just like Heaven
Lost and roaring
Lost and lonely
Show me how to do that trick,
The one that makes me scream, 'sea sick'
Show me how you do that trick,
The one that makes me scream, she said
Show me how you do that trick,
the one that makes me scream 'She's sick!'
Show me how you do that trick,
The one that makes me scream, she said
Show me how you do that trick,
the one that makes me scream: sea-sick
Show me how you do that trick,
the one that makes me scream, she said
Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream 'Sea Sick!!'
'Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream', she said.
Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream 'Seasick!'
'Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream,' she said.
Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream, 'Scissor!'.
'Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream', she said
Show me how you do that twist
The one that makes me seem seasick.
Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream, she said.
Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream 'She's sick!'
'Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream,' she said.
Something something something
Show me, show me, show me
Spinning all that dizzy air
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Spinning all that juicy air
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Spinning on a dizzy edge
Crystal pain, crystal hedge.
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head.
Spinning out to Disneyland
or
Spinning out to Disney World
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Stormy on the girl I like.
Stole the only girl I loved.
That I'm alone again
That I'm in love with you
That I'm alone with you
That I'm in love with you
The Boston public
Lost and lonely
The story of the girl I loved
Drowned here deep inside of me
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You look just like Kevin.
You look just like Heaven.
You strange as angels
Dancing on a dream assumption
Dreaming of a world that's yours
Just like a dream.
You strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest ocean
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream.
You stranger, danger
You strange as angels
You, Rice-a-Roni
You, lost and lonely
You, soft and homely
You, soft and only
You, stranger danger.
You, strange as angels.

The sea is over my mouth
I can see his open mouth
Of air and contempt that hangs in a basement
To hair and contentment that hangs in abasement
Nothing ever pleases us.
Laughing at the Christmas lights.
I'm checking the milk
I'm shaking like milk
You think you’re fired now
You think you’re tired now
However violate
or
However firing
However far away
You make me feel like I am funnel cake.
You make me feel like I am fun again.
However follow me
However far away
I will always hug you
I will always love you
I'm never far away
However far away
You make me feel like I am Hogan
You make me feel like I am home again
You make me feel like I am cream again
You make me feel like I am clean again

Toys'R'Us, Toys'R'Us
Close your eyes, Close your eyes
And I feel like I'm being beaten by
A thousand million shivering furry Hos.
And I feel like I'm being eaten by
A thousand million shivering fury holes.
And I feel like I'm being beaten
And I feel like I'm being eaten
And I feel like I'm being eaten by
A thousand Indian children full of holes.
And I feel like I'm being eaten by
A thousand million shivering fury holes.
On candy stripe lanes
On candy stripe legs
Softer than shadow and curly fries
Softer than shadow and quicker than flies

The song is on
The sun is up
In any way I try to see
In any way I try to speak
I've been looking so low
I've been looking so long
I've been looking solo for my pictures of you
I've been looking so long for my pictures of you
My pinches of you
My pictures of you
Quietly deranged
Quiet in the rain
That I almost believe that they're weird
That I almost believe that they're real
With these bitches of you
With these pictures of you

Every mirage I see is a mirage of you.
