Amy's Eyes

standing by the open gate, amy had to hesitate
as she thought to close the door, secret lover on the floor
someday we can hold her hand and she knows we'll understand, but until the day she dies, we'll fall into
amy's eyes
i had my time with the girl of mystery,
she had two hearts and put one inside me,
in the cool grass, she walked like a tambourine,
she knows your face and all of your pedigrees
deep beneath the covers i can see the future in my palms,
share with me yr costume powers before the night is gone
anyway i thought you'd like to know
your heart is in a red hotel in rome
and your eye is in my brain, and it feels so very strange
if i had a dime for all of her histories
throw three dollars at yr anatomy
she let somebody into her little wing
could there ever be a better remedy
deep beneath the covers i can see the future in my palms,
share with me yr costume powers before the night is gone
anyway i thought i'd like to say
your heart is in a sandy beach in maine
and your eye is in my brain, and it feels so very strange
if i could love someone, i would be on my way
if i could speak in tongues, it wouldn't feel the same
if i could love myself, i would be on my way
if i could speak in songs, wouldn't this life be so mundane?
standing by the open gate, amy couldn't care to wait
as she went to close the door, lovers sighing on the floor
someday we can hold her hand and she knows we'll understand, but until the day she dies, we'll fall into
amy's eyes

Good Weather

in my dreams, the world is windy ,
full of clouds over my motherland,
summer trees against your rooftop still we strive to find a better plan, my friends
pretend to listen to me but i know
they'll never understand
wake up it's time to go,
didn't you know?
you're living in a weather machine!
in my dreams, the world is empty,
spanish shawls on hilltop residents
all my precious time gets wasted, drinking in your heartbreak medicine, my friends pretend to listen to me, but i know they don't quite
understand
i walk down to the show,
didn't you know?
you're living in a weather machine!
any way you want the sky, just paint it
play guitar for me until you're famous
any way you want the sky, just paint it!

Tequila Baby

in the window, through the kitchen floor, while mother's been long gone
she's the darkness, she's the ocean
sitting in her television indecision
through the kitchen, in the window frame, the shadow man began
as she watched the shadow man against the garden door,
mother's dancing on the marble sunset city floors,
slips in thru the cracks, he creaks in quiet in the violet room,
the man of shadows will split her little fingers with jackknife wringers soon
can you teach me? please beseech me, as both your legs pour some more,
in your dollhouse, in the bathroom mirror, i love your every eye in paradise
in the twlight of a moment, she lay on the ground, her pretty fingers play like strung out clothesline organ sounds
and you would love me if i sat and watched you in hooded costumes, babe
and i would love you and your mother's sunset dancing shoes the same

Sweet Thing

sweet thing sitting by the fire,
sweet thing, my only one desire,
dolce not lost but surely found,
i got no friends around
sweet thing, the solitude is better
sweet thing but only if you let her
dolce in the slithering cold
and all your friends are sold
