Anatomy

Like a monster back from hell
I sit and watch the river flow
And if i lose you on a turn
Or stopping at the yellow glow


I'll meet you back right here
Same time tomorrow night
Inside picasso's tear
In this apocalyptic night


Now if the purple sky
Will turn another shade of green
And if the world will burn
In this apocalyptic sheen


I still remember you and me
We were partners pulling time
Mixing blue and green
And hangin' up our sign


And through a highball glass
Yeah, i could see inside your fear
Oh, you never knew it then
But the feeling was so clear


And if the target never moves
Yeah, but then it always does
Oh, the kids can fuck themselves
Yeah they'll find out soon enough

I've wandered far and wide
This road keeps winding on
Can't stop these hands of time
Or right a world gone wrong


Chorus:
And i guess somewhere way out along the way
There was a vision i got
But then i lost my train of thought



Now i don't mean to stall
Or keep you here too long
Like echoes off the wall
It's here and then it's gone


Chorus:
And once all and everything came back to me
All the battles we'd fought
But then i lost my train of thought
I lost my train of thought



All the world and history
Burns like a bad sign
And here within my reach revealed
The clouds part in my mind
I see the love that i sought
But then i lost my train of thought
I lost my train of thought


The road is winding down
I'll need another clue
This seems familiar now
Or is this deja vu


Chorus:
And i guess somewhere way out along the way
There were feelings i fought
But then i lost my train of thought
I lost my train of thought
My train of thought
My train of thought

Here where the carousel spins
On an ocean of blame
We pick pockets in the crowds
Near the gold mines of shame


And i will wear a red ruby ring
That reflects the full moon
Meet me on the corner tonight
And we'll sleep deep down in the sand dunes


Chorus:
Susie climbed a mountain of tacks
She lost control of the facts
She put all of the clothes in a brown paper sack
And drove outta state the next day before sunrise
Before sunrise



Susie climbed a mountain of tacks


Walkin' by the old funzone1
South of the gutter of doubt
Past a broken mirror glass
The reflection faded in and out
And i saw her there


Chorus repeat x3

They say that i'm a loner
They say that i'm a stooge
But all i've ever wanted
Was back in baton rouge
We'd paddle up the river
Go fishin' in a stream
We'd see the people drinkin'
On the mississippi queen


Chorus:
And mama had a stove
And daddy had a still
Then daddy ran away
With his second cousin jill



I left home at ten
I joined a carnival
Washin' down the elephants
Life was never dull
One night when the clowns
Had all got drunk
I sneaked into your wagon
And rifled through your trunk


Chorus repeat


And mama raised us up
To never tell a lie
Except when there's a secret
Where the neighbors tend to pry
Mama had a stove repeat x2
