  • Closing time. Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
    • Closing time, everything new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end
  • And If I built this fortress around your heart… encircled you with trenches and barbed wire…
    • I had to stop my tracks for fear of walking on the mines I laid
  • You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
    • I’m not sure that there’s anything left of me
  • "There are a thousand things" he said
"I'll never say those things to you again"
And turning on his heel
He left a trace of bubbles
Bleeding in his stead

And in her head
A picture of a boy who left her
Lonely in the rain
(And all around the night sang out Like Cockatoos)
  • This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track

Not what I heard or saw on TV,
But what I witnessed entirely
Each bend in the road was infact another curve on the monkey track
Once upon a time we thought we were free
And had control over destiny
We saw ourselves a competent band
Able to reason, prosper and plan
But we had a chamber up in the moon
Circumstance made us change our tune
When the veil was torn from our face
We became the monkeys riding the race
MONKEY!
You think you got the stuff it takes to break away!
Boy you’ll be on the track every day
Talent, vigor,drive
You’ll eat peanut butter the rest of your life
And these last things you can arrange
Find other people equally strange
Stuff yourselves in the van and ride the pine box derby to the finish line

  • God, sometimes you just don’t come through
    • Do you need a woman to look after you?
    • Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall?

Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky?
