Is there an astronaut that could please grab that balloon that floated up out of my hand into this bright, blue afternoon because my hands were cold I couldn't hold that string for the life of me so now I stare up feeling melancholy And then you say through the thick, black smoke of all this mess we've made, "You've always been to me water deep enough to drown in." I live in a box in a basement and I don't sleep well at night, I stay awake most nights but that's just fine because the moonlight's come adjusted to my eyes, the moon is in my eyes And then you say through the thick, black smoke of all this mess we've made, "You've always been to me water deep enough to drown in."

Spider: "As you struggle inside tangled up in my lines now look into my eyes as I eat you from inside. You are mine now." Fly: "Have I no say in this hungry apocalypse? I was born to be, not for you to eat." Spider: "You must feed my family. Understand that they must eat I have listened to your cries, but look into my children's eyes. You are their life." Fly: "I will be their meal. Somehow fine I feel. Eat my flesh and drink my blood, drown entire earth in flood." Spider: "He lives, he dies. He's suppertime and while we eat try not to speak a word."

Is love like the tree that loves the storm that brings her rain? She turns up her face, spreads her leaves "Thank God you came." Remember what trouble it gave you when you tried to forget her face and try as you might, you saw her in every empty space We spend all our nights committing crimes and crossing lines and you've been wrapped around me like a vine but not this time no not this time Is love like the sailor loves the sea that is his home? She loves but her love is not for me, it is her own We spend all our nights committing crimes and crossing lines and you've been wrapped around me like a vine but not this time no not this time On and on again I'll swear I'm fine but I'm a liar I'll tell you lies and we spent all our nights committing crimes and crossing lines and crossing lines. Then climb on a boat or aeroplane and go away and tell me "without you skies are grey" but she cannot stay You can't stay no, you cannot stay

"Weeping willow, Malva sky" you asked me How it is behind my eyes Maybe someday soon you'll come and catch me 'round the neck across the room Yeah maybe someday soon You'll catch me 'round the neck across the room Hello fellow philanthrope she's Lennon-eyed kaleidoscope So tell me one thing you regret "That there's no rain, or songs to sing in it" that there's no rain, or songs to sing in it that there's no rain, or songs to sing in it So I've written rain and songs in which to sing "All my Thoughts Are Fish Swimming"
