Father of my morning once my child to the night[00:00:14]
I see that you have minds to cop[00:00:19]
And I can only watch with sickened sorrow[00:00:22]
Little do you know of the progressions that you teach[00:00:30]
The people that you reach are tired[00:00:36]
Of livin' in a world of elastic towers[00:00:39]
You dance with them and sing a song of changes[00:00:47]
And talk with them of life and all it's dangers[00:00:52]
Surround yourself with now familiar strangers[00:00:58]
Who kiss and who hug and eventually mug you of your time[00:01:03]
And the clock on the wall is a bore[00:01:09]
As you wander past the door[00:01:12]
And find him lying on the floor[00:01:14]
As he begs you for some more you frozen smile[00:01:18]
You cannot ever picture me[00:01:39]
You know me by my mind[00:01:42]
A file for your travelogue oblivious to the night[00:01:44]
The fog around you[00:01:49]
The germs they are ridiculous they bother you at night[00:01:56]
The blood that rushes to your brain[00:02:01]
The ticket on the plane you're never catching[00:02:04]
The price you pay exclusive of your taxes[00:02:12]
To chop you up inside with tiny axes[00:02:17]
The girl looks up to you from floors she waxes[00:02:23]
And speaks to your belt with tears among her eyes[00:02:28]
And the clock on the wall is a bore[00:02:34]
As you wander past the door[00:02:38]
And find him lying on the floor[00:02:40]
As he begs you for some more you frozen smile[00:02:44]
The metaphysic wrinkles in the face of what you face[00:03:05]
Are hidden by the fake-up man[00:03:10]
Who lives inside the Sterno can beside you[00:03:13]
Now climb ye to the mountains[00:03:21]
As the sun is almost gone[00:03:24]
Escaping from your other selves[00:03:27]
Your brothers hide among the shelves inside you[00:03:30]
The games that people play can only bore you[00:03:38]
But only those that know you don't ignore you[00:03:44]
And how many times have I come there to restore you[00:03:49]
And caught you lying on the couch with father time[00:03:54]
And the clock on the wall is a bore[00:04:01]
As you wander past the door[00:04:04]
And find him lying on the floor[00:04:06]
As he begs you for some more you frozen smile[00:04:10]
