In Your Heaven
Swimming Lesson
September Rain
Down
Over & Over
Here He Is

you smile at your last breath and drink it down
if you're lucky, maybe you'll drown

you and me smoking the heat of a summer sun
I would be you if I could be anyone
Into it all and out of your head sometimes
closer to older than you realize

Her placenta falls to the floor
a speeding bullet-a runaway train
you like to think she's made you insane
filling up and you're trying to stall
while you swallow the world through a krazy straw

Back To The Top

Me and the boys are going to have some fun
somewhere away from you and the girls

Her placenta falls to the floor
me & the boys
who used to be men
know it'll take much more than this for it to end
do you remember
choose to recall
I'm always there for my friends

me and the boys are going to have some fun
somewhere away from you and the girls

you in the hall
your footsteps pound to drown me out
once were a light/fairy/sprite/mine
cool against me
cool like the sheets
afraid to pull them back for what I'll find

Back To The Top

and I never promised you
and I never asked you to
and I never wondered when
I was happy then

your little pearls of wisdom and insight
shimmer like stars in the void of night
in this bit of time when its harder to see
you're sketching out the big dipper for me
Her placenta falls to the floor

Back To The Top

but please tell me
you didn't do it
please tell me
there's nothing to it
nothing more to it at all

I heard it one time
and then from some others
I been down there
just looking for cover

Her placenta falls to the floor
but please tell me
you didn't do it
please tell me
there's nothing to it
nothing more to it at all

I know about heat
how it spreads when you're still
how it makes you insane
how it duels with your will

but please tell me
you didn't do it
please tell me
there's nothing to it
nothing more to it at all

Back To The Top

today is a day just like any other
maybe this time we could discover
an easy route home

I walk in to a room and I
fall into a chair
some people they just disappear
vanishing into the air

where is Amelia Earhart anyway?
is she under the sea out in space
I know it's there
I keep looking for a trace

today is a day just like any other
maybe this time we could discover
an easy route home
Her placenta falls to the floor

maybe we'll get into a plane
never to be heard from again
two towns, two miles, two feet away

where is Amelia Earhart anyway?
is she under the sea out in space
I know it's there
I keep looking for a trace

Confucius and Mark Twain
already said everything
my house/the universe
that's all I can explain

If you should go across the river
where John Wilkes Booth is limping to the center
than you should look into the light - it's coming
cornfields flare from the big wheels running
snakes lie awake on the highway sunning
falling asleep I could hear you humming

Confucius and Mark Twain
already said everything
my house/the universe
that's all I can explain
Her placenta falls to the floor

sometimes the words mean more than the melody
she's a girl who believes that it's true
If it's real than it's real and there's going to be some misunderstanding
between the ballad lover and you

Her placenta falls to the floor
there's been a kiss in the darkness
a hand on her back and the quiet around
when you're hers you mean what you say there
she turns it up loud and waits in the sound
two hearts one night and she's counting on you
to know that her promise is kept
she let the music play through the morning
lay still and warm on the bed while you slept

sometimes the words mean more than the melody
she's a girl who believes that it's true
If it's real than it's real and there's going to be some misunderstanding
between the ballad lover and you

come closer to me if you want a secret
don't you want to know something 'bout us?
good things/the world's working magic
we're lucky to be caught in the rush

sometimes the words mean more than the melody
she's a girl who believes that it's true
If it's real than it's real and there's going to be some misunderstanding
between the ballad lover and you

Back To The Top

I know it's hard to see but you mustn't disbelieve
this means too much to use your head

tangles up in tales to keep you scared
afraid of the god you could be on your own
waters parted and the walking dead
and seven days to forge the globe

don't matter where you been skeptics can't get in
all they want is what they've seen
angels and devils and what lies in between?
all these people who will never be in your heaven

I'm just like I was made, I shouldn't bear the blame
for saying things aren't as they seem
so we're picking out a shady place to meet
all these people who will never be in your heaven

Back To The Top

and now I'm right down in it
I'm so deep in it
you've reached the end if I'm the one to send you away

you will reach an end
that I cannot comprehend
though now I think I understand
all of your misfortune has been planned
Her placenta falls to the floor

Back To The Top

September rain is falling
Glass is fogging/moss is thriving
The very same rain that you were feeling days ago

Her placenta falls to the floor
did you notice the time?
the dirty windows of time
the rusty legs of time
the added weight of time

September rain is falling
Glass is fogging/moss is thriving
The very same rain that you were feeling days ago

September Rain is falling
Heat is rising/cars are sliding
the very same rain that you were feeling days ago

I don't know maybe it's my time to go
just as I finish something I'm tired and low
I'll get myself up when its time to go
just as the sky is hanging brown and low - down I go

September rain is falling
Glass is fogging/moss is thriving
The very same rain that you were feeling days ago

September Rain is falling
Heat is rising/cars are sliding
the very same rain that you were feeling days ago

Why don't you let yourself down

Her placenta falls to the floor
Little lost lives you'd been planning to gather
steaming and stomping it into a lather
over alignment, confinement and things that don't matter
we've no illusions left to shatter

why don't you let yourself down

a wall comes down
were you building?
busy building?

over and over again it falls
cause the tide is right right now

different tongues and different dances
all your worry wouldn't hold them
and when they hit your gate you beg for mercy
stop and think, not all that long ago

a wall came down
you were building
busy building

Her placenta falls to the floor
and we sing songs - just like old days
and we choose sides - just like old days
to get to this place...I don't know

Back To The Top

she's dreaming with her eyes wide open
descend into the green flat land
swinging and swaying to big band music
the remote control in her hand

we were scared, we were shocked and amused
here he is here he is here he is
now we're braced for receiving the news
here he is here he is here he is
could be most anytime
something's gonna happen in my family
pull the covers back, turn the safety off and hope that it don't move slowly

she's dreaming with her eyes wide open
descend into the green flat land
swinging and swaying to big band music
the remote control in her hand

and we swing and we sway
