Shadow puppets from the ceiling were diving into my eyes
Rolling with it was suffocating, I would have sworn I’d soon be dying

Dionysius crossed the emptiness waving Michael’s sword
I was so thankful to be awakened by my Marina

In the carousel spinning around me were swarms of hags and flies
I was wide awake without seeing that just above them was my Marina

Dionysius crossed the emptiness Gabriel showed her the way
I was so thankful to be awakened by my Marina

Swarming when nobody else could see
Airborne and bubbling up from the ground
Their growing numbers dragging me down
Disbelief intensified my experience
Cornered by overwhelming armies within
I was buried then rescued from my own skin

By morning I could hardly believe it myself
As I laughed at the cynical parodies and smokescreens
That were everywhere making a mockery of my experience

After it all, when she found me
I would have sworn that I was floating
Over my own body
When she found me
The fog slowly lifted
As weightless I ascended
And my life flashed before my eyes
I regained control of my senses
But my words cannot fully express them

The waves were relentless
I fought until I was
Nearly consumed by their hunger
I was losing the battle for possession
To the ravenous swarm
When out of the corner of my eye
I caught a faint but profound glimpse of hope
I wonder did it have to take
Swords of light driving legions away
To get me to be willing to change

The light that had pierced the blinds disappeared
When the swarm filled the room
The floor gave out from underneath
It happened so fast that my flesh was left behind

No longer recognizing silhouettes once familiar
Closing in and shape-shifting, halfway hidden half revealing

watch people dance
watch people watch and dance away
watch people sing and dance away
in each others' arms
they must be god

watch these people
in sickness and in health
watch these people
incensed and overjoyed
these must be god

watch me hold my eyes
watch me dry my eyes
watch me close my eyes

watching it as it is watching the eyes in my eyes light up
watching it as it is watching my eyes watching on the screen
watching it as it is watching my eyes focus on it

why have i these eyes
why must these be mine
why must these be blind

watch you in the mirror
watch you in the screen
watch you as you lift your hand
to touch the glass
and trace your silhouette
as i trace in shock
i of all the people here
can see your face
you must be

open your eyes
see me
my eyes and my android heart
my android heart
my android heart

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
