There were sights seen
That never may have been
For the hours spent last night
Were throats held oh so tight

Lo' mystery if you fade
Leaving far away or into a pile of hay
The world where we eat, were we sleep, where we love
Will wheeze like a dying man's cough

Sure ain't worth a ******* living ****
When roller-coasters outside are still roasting
And everyone around you is still toasting
Left alone with a gun but not a rovin' sun

So sitting back with a belly fully of slack
And minutes seeming like hours while a lover looks sour
Remember or forget
That our time will soon be met

These good times on stagnant cable, TV, and feeling stable
May surely come spit in your eye
The green grass out your door will soon be looking brown'
And the forgetful neighbors you smiled upon
May soon be getting outta' town

And the lost that are thrown unto streets they never knew
Will soon be seeing the torrents of an unseen ocean's blue
Where gulls sneeze with majestic justice and royalty
A graveyard larger then the eye has ever seen

A tantric gaze magic in its own numbing tease
A breath that kept me away but still looking
Knowing that the chef inside is still cooking
Feeling that the lady in my bar tonight is dressed in grey

Uptight in my thoughts but loose in my foot
Let me linger towards you with eyes of curious goo
A flick of a finger led me to five bucks broker
I knew from her tough smile tonight I was the joker

The leaves that crinkled underneath our drunken feet
Took us to a narrow part of town somewhere around two
The moon above us shone bright and shone a light
That I never felt before and no longer made me feel sore

She peeked at my eye as I peaked at hers
Grinning shyly she said, "The name's Lily"
I laughed out loud quick, drowning in my own bewilderment
"That's my favorite flower!, in the Moonlight with a Lily!"

The night went on
Just like the song
And I lost her in the end
Cause of a notecard I never sent'
