I always said to you I was a dream catcher A modern day cynic, barstool lecturer And you had this dream that I tethered Absconded with, somehow, and altogether And after that you were never the same No you were never Well I never Get together with those people anymore And I’d rather Just draw the curtains and paint the doors One day, you say, I’ll see the sunshine at my door, I’ll awake I always said to you I was a snake handler A Pynchonesque proverb for the serpentine standard And you had this faith that I shattered Overstating it, somehow, that I knew better And after that you were never the same No you were never Well I never Get together with those people anymore And I’d rather Just draw the curtains and paint the doors One day, you say, I’ll see the sunshine at my door, I’ll awake. One day. You say, you say, you say…

When I go, I go go go And just leave around some noisy sounds so touch and go Cause when you know, sometimes you just know And no mix of words or sounds could explain it though... I ain't never want to be like that, no I ain't never want to see like that, no I ain't never want to feel like that, no No And when I'm sad, I can't put my finger on it I want it like it was something to have I got addicted to the black light, dead night, circular paths Cut in half like I was starving to death And only hoping for that sweet bread, but left begging for scraps Windfalls, acts of god, and bloodbaths Situation's touch and go, but go figure, I ain't never want to be like that (don't want to be like that) I ain't never want to be like that, no I ain't never want to see like that, no I ain't never want to feel like that, no No I ain't never want to get like that, no I ain't never want to vent like that, no I ain't never want to get upset, no No I ain't never want to be like that, no I ain't never want to see like that, no I ain't never want to feel like that, no No

It was alright, it was all content The day was running long now, and it was getting time for bed And I was saying all my prayers, not letting earthly affairs Leave me in anger now, before the sun goes down And I was in your frog pyjamas and living on the moon And my horoscope was saying that I shouldn't leave too soon And so I stayed put for a long time, right into the afternoon Until my hand was forced, and it was time to move 'Cause I was through So unavoidable, you were just coming up too quick I couldn't stop in time, and so I swerved to miss But the course proved irreversible, and no matter how I moved I was in front of you Now to exchange some information, as the proper thing to do To pull off of these main roads out of plain and prying view Accidents may happen, I've been the cause of one or two And it was always right out of the blue Out of the bloo...

Nobody has to know, no one has to think about it Oh wouldn’t they like to know, like their favourite TV show that we just starred in? With familiar plot twists - you’ve seen ‘em all before - I’d be remiss to try to hide it The usual characters, predicable narratives, I know a place to go, a place we won’t exist Hold the phone I don’t smoke I vaporize, it’s the 21st century, realize Open your eyes can’t categorize the prize, the high, I recognize the times, and I feel like saying goodbye Cause I was stuck in a past life, fast lane, critical line Cruise control of our minds I feel like nothing is mine, got to leave it behind I don’t choke I memorize, practice, rehearse, legitimize, I energize, reciting my lines on cue as a child brand new And I feel like going home Operator give me the time Your dial tone is a friend of mine Zero to nine, narrow the lines of a time gone by And hold the phone Hold the phone, dialling up your landline with seven digits We could skip the area code, I know places we could go to be less rigid The same old conversations that never seem to end I know a place to go, a place we won’t exist I know a place to go, a place we won’t exist I know a place to go, a place we won’t exist Hold the phone

interloper 03:57
There I go, imitating life again When I know, the real thing could be right around the bend There I go, imitating life again Like a bird that mimics but will never, ever comprehend I am the shadow of the object The night as absence of the day Just a reflection of the genuine Or was it the other way? There I go I am the shadow of the object A little stretched with some decay Just a reflection of the genuine Or was it the other way? I felt like hesitating But the moment passed me by And the time that was afforded me All went slipping by In the visions of tomorrow And the dreams of yesterday Between the rapture and the revenant Was there another way? Oh another way...
