drawn on a cardstock poster-size sheet of blue
like you, i am drawing sun
like i'm waiting for you
fall
fall
and fly
fly by
too high
too true
true blue
too you
shoo fly
bye bye
crease
thin line
no flow

welcome to fantasy island
funny, simple, any sort of mechanical laughter gets me off
no bills to pay
you say so what, who cares
in this sentence i find a e a e a e a e a

this is me happy
this is me happy
this is me happy
this is me happy
this is me happy
this is me happy

slow it down
feels like a pressure point
feels like a compass is tattooed to your head
to your necktie
to your shoes
slow it up
you're a good guy on the inside
speed it up
you want it all
lucky bastard
you always get what you want

dreaming of new jersey

lift your head up and face the traffic light
you got to know, you got to do your thing
you got to make it to the border honeypie
you stop in at the rest stop
you got to get something to eat
and while you're there it all comes back to you
the polaroid, the microfilm and the .38 sitting in the glovebox
you wonder why you haven't seen but three cops
all the way from los angeles to fort knox
you got to get out

you and me
new jersey

speeding down
like it?
like the speed?
feels like it's happening
feels like any minute now
did i ever tell you that i love you
did i ever tell you that i'll miss you
when the bullets start, run away
i'll meet you on the other side
i'll meet you on the other side of the tracks

dreaming of new jersey

while you and me
to new jersey
go

may you weep among the silent golden rushes of the sun
may you sleep tossing dreams back and forth across the finish line
may you smile standing among the shadows of the spirit world
may you stare silently at the figures bowing out of the mirror
may you run slipping along motionlessly the ice cracking behind you
may you wind slowly in and out of a powerless movement of grace
may you swim dancing across the oceanographer's dreams you toss back and forth across the finish line
may you be small
may you be silent
may you be strong
