I'm not the kind of fool Who's gonna sit and sing to you, About stars, girl.
But last night I looked up into The dark half of the blue, And they'd gone backwards.
Tomorrow I'll be quicker I'll stare into the strobe light flicker And afloat I'll stay But I'm quite alright hiding today
Tomorrow I'll be faster I'll catch what I've been chasing after And have time to play But I'm quite alright hiding today
And I will play the coconut shy And win a prize even if it's rigged I won't know when to stop And you can leave off my lid, and I won't even lose my fizz I'll be the polka dots type I'll know the way back, if you know the way But if you are, I am quite alright, hiding today
Tomorrow I'll be stronger, running colorful No longer just in black and white And I'm quite alright hiding tonight
And I will have a game on the coconut shy And win a prize even if it's rigged I won't know when to stop And you can leave off my lid, and I won't even lose my fizz I'll be the polka dots type
I'll probably swim through a few lagoons I'll have a spring in my step And I'll get there soon To sing you a happy tune, tomorrow
And you better bring a change of clothes So we can sail our laughing pianos along a beam of light But I'm quite alright Hiding tonight
2. Glass In The Park
There's glass in the park Darling, I can't help but keep Making appointments to sweep Beneath the climbing frame
If the sun's in your eyes I'll tighten your blindfold, baby Don't worry, your foot won't get cut Strut carelessly
And when you say that you need me tonight I can't keep my feelings in disguise The white parts of my eyeballs illuminate
And I'll wait for you As if I'm waiting for the storm to stop I've heard them talking About how I'm gonna put you off
There's glass in the park And now that I'm up off my knees I've picked up the speed To jump your palaces
And I shoot through the night And suddenly all those once lost Concoctions froth And chase the day away
When you say that you need me tonight I can't keep my feelings in disguise The white part of my eyeball illuminates
And I'll wait for you As if I'm waiting for the storm to stop I've heard them talking About how I'm gonna put you off
Tell me, how can I put you off When you're a matter of urgency I've got a million things that I need to do But they're all secondary
Make sure you're not followed And meet me by the death balloon Paraselene woman I'm your man in the moon
And like a grain of diamond dust you float And my devotion's outer crust cracks
3. It's Hard To Get Around The Wind
It's like you're trying to get to heaven in a hurry, And the queue was shorter than you thought it would be, And the doorman says, You need to get a wristband.
You got a lift between the pitfalls, But you're looking like your low on energy, Did you get out and walk, To ensure you'd miss the quicksand?
Looking for a new place to begin, Feeling like it's hard to understand, But as long as you still keep peppering the pill, You'll find a way to spit it out again.
And even when you know the way it's gonna blow, It's hard to get around the wind.
Stretching out the neck on your evening, Trying to even out some deficits, But it's sabertooth multi-ball confusion.
And you can shriek until you're hollow, Or whisper it the other way, Trying to save the youth without putting your shoes on.
Looking for a new place to begin, Feeling like it's hard to understand, But as long as you still keep peppering the pill, You'll find a way to spit it out again.
And even when you know the way it's gonna blow, It's hard to get around the wind.
I can hear you through my window, But I'm never quite sure who is who, But they want the world on a dessert spoon.
It always sounds like they're fighting, Or if that's what they are about to do, It might not hurt now but it's gonna hurt soon.
4. Piledriver Waltz
I etched the face of a stopwatch On the back of a raindrop And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass
I heard an unhappy ending It sort of sounds like you leaving I heard the piledriver waltz It woke me up this morning
You look like you've been for breakfast at the Heartbreak Hotel And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose Your waitress was miserable and so was your food If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes
Mysteries flashing amber go green When you answer but the red on the rest Of the questionnaire never changes
I heard the news that you're planning To shoot me out of a cannon I heard the piledriver waltz It woke me up this morning
You look like you've been for breakfast at the Heartbreak Hotel And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose Your waitress was miserable and so was your food If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes
5. Stuck On The Puzzle
I'm not the kind of fool Who's gonna sit and sing to you, About stars, girl.
But last night I looked up into The dark half of the blue, And they'd gone backwards.
Something in your magnetism Must have pissed them off, Forcing them to get an early night.
I have been searching from The bottom to the top For such a sight As the one I caught when I saw your
Fingers dimming the lights Like you're used to being told that you're trouble And I spent all night Stuck on the puzzle
Nobody I asked Knew how he came to be the one To whom you surrendered
Any man who wasn't led away Into the other room Stood pretending
That something in your magnetism Hadn't just made him drop Whoever's hand it was that he was holding.
I have been searching from The bottom to the top For such a sight As the one I caught when I saw your
Fingers dimming the lights Like you're used to being told that you're trouble And I spent all night Stuck on the puzzle
I tried to swim to the side But my feet got caught in the middle And I thought I'd seen the light But oh no.
I was just stuck on the puzzle Stuck on the puzzle.
