lyrics

My changing perceptions
Have been taking me from A to B
And C then D
Soon E but first Z
As in I ain't been gettin any Z's
As in the stirrings inside of me
Seemed to subside
But that's not right
They only whisper now
Instead of pull me down
Into a "Wow..."

I am babbling like a brook
Over the smooth, shrinking stones of a memory
Smooth enough to skip away from me
Over the water from whence it all came
I am playing a game like Russian Roulette
I'm placing my bets and driving with the window down
In my head
But in real life I'm sweating hard instead
There's blood on my hands
The stains look like the face of one
Mr. George Wishywashington

Part of me is in California
Part of me is being on time
Part of me is choking
On the twisted path to the next line:
I am fine
The clouds are dropping freedom
Freedom wets my skin and my hair
I feel some sort of a slam dunk
Staying close to you even when you're not there

Oh I love you, yes I love you!
Each of my days sends my thoughts your way
Oh, I wish I could say
Some phrase of the day
That would whisk this heart away
And into your pillowcase
Close to your face

Oh I miss them
I wish they were here
