alright

catefrances

running around the world on acid
falling hard and fucking up my assets
stepping through the door less likely
to give a damn nor give it nicely
my poor doomed spirit suffers quietly
while i'm tripping the light fantastic nights
my thoughts illuminate the sky
and every time i've done it twice
my baby lies beside me now
his skin it crawls through icy mounds
of lemon yellow butterscotch as
wandering storks tip their beaks
reaching down among the waving weeds
the worm escapes and disappears
it's in my head. i can feel it.....
...sweet!
i see someone i used to know
he waves and yells
and i ignore his tone
i didn't lke him when i was dead
so chances are he's got buckley's now
i've no time to contemplate what epiphany he's had
or whether or not i should be glad
hand in hand we dance around
and circumnavigate the globe
if i don't end up where i began
is my journey complete or just beginning
i hear a voice from somewhere
not sure whose it is or even if it exists
i answer anyway and the world falls silent
is this violence and who can hear
i'm staring at a painting now
all blues and greens and dancing queens
it's funny and i open my mouth
but nothing like a laugh comes out
i'm smothered by my own desire
but unlike that bird upon that wire
i've thrown all my ribbons away
and as i watch them float aloft and down
i doubt anyone knows what i'm trying to say
i step through open doors and close them
turn the key and now i am lonesome
doves and eagles fly above me
the setting sun bleeds red the sky
the desert heat disappears into the night
i press my hand to my heart, my eyes closed tight
i breathe slowly and i breathe deep
my face it smiles and then i know
this is my life, it's not complete
this is our life, yours and mine
this is just life and it's alright.
