I've waited so long, I'm walking to you If you'll walk to me by dawn. I'll give you red diamonds and the black pearls Give you something for your finger to have on I'm standing in the street waiting for crunch time to calm me, I thought I knew you better than this, I know you knew me better Than you would ever let on.
The way you wore your father's Captain's uniform, You are the stewardess and pilot both, I'm the admiral of this flotilla racing across the Aegean to meet your coast, But often it seems I'm rowing a dinghy into the arms of the storm of your ghost.
Meet me in Palo Alto Where the devil's giving me dollar for dollar on my soul. Three thousand miles of traveling the brainwaves To California, to San Francisco I go.
Some women wait, others they lie, some they hate just for sport Some men find it troubling to live in their sins while the rest of us Weather the storm.
Brown paper poetry scribbled on bags, cut throat couplets, haikus and prose Drinking and tripping and looking for junk Just a collection of madness in its throes. The petals have draped themselves over your body, Can you taste God in your foils?
I'm just waiting to collide into the skin My fortune said you'd bring I can do without the tertiary friends like that red-headed ***** Megan whose company you keep. When it comes to taking every piece of treason don't underestimate Their thievery. They'll drink from your fountain of abuse, until their Goblets sear their lips and burn away their tongues. The universal language of O- blood lust, is just beginning to be enough.
Doctors say you've died, but your heart's on fire I'm just a conflagration where there used to be a man My veins sweat the poisons of quiet disease, They can crash while we burn alive, Sitting quietly together in Dolores Park, While our toxicity kills us inside. Let's just wait here and burn alive.
