Beautysleep

All your friends have changed
Another moment too soon for you
The angle shifts again
Another moment too soon
Now it's time to take a walk
Now it's time to take the walk you've been side-slipping

Time to move your sorry bones up off the floor
Time to rise above your situation
Time to make sure the current pauses at your door
Time to seek your own level baby

Amazing things have strayed within your reach
Are you unfazed and unimpressed by all you could have had with ease
Amazing things have strayed within your reach
Another moment too soon for you
Now it's time to take the walk you've been side-slipping

Time to move your sorry bones...

So what if you come undone on your way to the sun
Your home-made kite melts down and out of sight
You'll find that your arms are fine and strong and move you along
And not a moment too soon

Time to move your sorry bones...

I'm keeping you i'm keeping you
I'm keeping you so realize your fate
I'm keeping you i'm keeping you
I'm keeping you so settle down now

You landed here from inner space
You landed with that screwed-up look on your face
I wanted you from way back when
I wanted you for years, then years again

I'm keeping you i'm keeping you
I'm keeping you so settle in now

My return to wildlife by satellite
By beautiful moon-shining girl
Whether by hard ground or splashdown
We're safely back in the world

My heart's not new
I'm not like you
I've loved and been loved well and badly too
My body's been through everything
I've used and been used
I got over it
There's something that you learn on a tightrope
Just outside the spotlight there's a big net waiting for...

My return to wildlife by satellite
By beautiful moon-shining girl
Whether by hard ground or splashdown
We're safely back in the world

I'm keeping you

This world is a wrap-around skirt
This world is a wrap-around skirt
And i'm gonna throw it off
I'm gonna throw it off
I'm rising up rising up
Maybe I worry cause I know how things work
I know how things can work out
Maybe they don't
Maybe that's how

This world is a fickle young girl
This world is a fickle young girl
It's high time we married her off
How about to gassy old jupiter
Maybe I worry cause I know how things work
I know how things can work out
Maybe they don't
Maybe that's how

Someone draw me a map so I can get back
To the edge of the world
And make my place in negative space
Among my kin
That's the only way to begin

My face has never been one to betray me
It lies when I need it to
It sends out a white blinding light in your eyes
'Till I figure out what i'm gonna do

We meet in the kitchen and roll on the floor
And I look in your face for something restoring
And take from you barely enough for a lifetime of
Holding out on you
Holding out on you

I see my storyline within you
And I see the river rise to meet you
'Cause you started you started
Harnessing the wave

My face has never been one to betray me
It lies when I need it to
But lately it seems you been laughing at me
So I guess you're the one I can't fool

I see my storyline within you
And I see the river rise to meet you
And I see my angel kneel to kiss you
Cause you started you started
Harnessing the wave

You started
You started honey

I wish I had a head for math
So I could talk to you
And hear the song behind the sign
And maybe dance there too.
Lose my license, lose my breath
And lose my precious cool.
And fall asleep in the spiral arms of the Milky way with you.

Blessed be, your work through me
Blessed be, you will be done

Found an ancient photograph
It looks a lot like you.
Wild eyes, and crazy hair reaching out to god knows who
I'll be your compass, I'll be your graph,
And your Rosetta [i.e., Stone] too.
I spy, with my third eye, your hippie-dippy ingenue.
I can learn, that's all I can do,
And fall asleep in the spiral arms of the Milky Way with you.

Blessed be, your work through me
Blessed be, you will be done

Blessed be, your work through me
Blessed be, you will be done

I'm an angel dark, darker than loam
Come to steer your runaway home
I'm a moonbeam monkey on spec
Come to bring your strange kid back

No one saw him gimpy going round the bend
And no one but me knows the stuff it takes to mend him
I will get him back on the right track
I will bring your strange kid back

He saw something there, something in the ice
Sees it still when he closes his eyes
He's not talking, just taking it alone
I will bring his story home

He's not talking, just taking it alone
He's a good boy, your good son
I'm an angel dark, darker than loam
I will bring your strange kid home
