Purple pink electric blue
Up her arm are bird tattoos
All of them are taking flight
I really want to spend the night
With you
Purple pink
My electric blue

When my eyes were bright and pinpoint sharp
I threaded needles in the dark
I could walk into the eye
Never touching either side
Now I am an older man
Careful threading of the eye
I don't believe the needle shrank
Just my belief in the needles size

Motion sickness in your head
Memories all have fled
Not quite living
With misgivings
Say a prayer for all the dead

Lock the window
Bolt the door
So they can't hurt you anymore
Take a moment for yourself and breathe
Escape to fantasy

Take your world off rewind
And play a peaceful tune
Advance into the day ahead
Go shooting for the moon

Take your everything
And all that is
To dream in overtime
Make a million dollars
And write another line
But please
Take the time and breathe

I'm the big banana
In a bunch of rotten ones
The horsefly ****
At a circus of tics
Where insanity is fun

And I will dance on the ragged edge
With a db and some wine
Thick as thieves
With a capital T
Where everything is fine

In the middling
Of the afternoon
You can find us here
Congregating in the backyard
With a plate of rice and beans

And everything is wonderful
As long as I can write
While everyone runs rampant
In the middle of the night

Nothing here is ever normal
And that suits me just fine
It keeps me on the ragged edge
And helps me write my rhyme

Now I will
Drink my fill
And thank God for the wine
Everyone is eating
And the silence is divine

If I were you
And you were me
We would climb
the tallest tree
Just to touch
the passing clouds
And say I love you
Right out loud

Sing me a song
Where nothing
is wrong
From the start
to the end of the day
So many I love yous
And passionate kisses
That will never
pass away

If you were I
And I were you
That's exactly
what we'd do
Lazing on a sunny afternoon

There are love songs only my heart knows
It sings them just for you
And maybe they're not worth the paper
And they're just my mixed up tunes
But I guess that's love

I dance circles in my heart
These words on paper I impart
Silly little lines and mixed up tunes
But I guess that's the way of love
Because I can fly
I can fly
Oooh oh
I can fly

I touched the top of the sky last night
Found the moon
And I wrote this happy tune
He sang along
Ya! It's gotta be love!
Because I can fly
I can fly
Oooh oh
I can fly

I thought I'd tell her yesterday
But the words and the music got in the way
Stayed up til the night was day
It's gotta be love

I dance circles in my heart
These words on paper I impart
Silly little lines and mixed up tunes
But I guess that's the way of love

I touched the top of the sky today
Found the sun
And I sang my happy song
He sang along
Yaa
It's gotta be love

Yesterdays sorrow
Todays progression
Tomorrow I may find contentment

Living in the present moment
Yesterday is not important
As I find my way into tomorrow
Happily today
