pick me up and take me down
im going high places
pick me up and take me down
im going high places

i was standing in the middle of the street
when a dirt devil picked me up and took me clear across town and dropped me off on the doorstep of the blind politician who was mowing his dead lawn
and the sky turned bright tangerine and i knew i had to stop

pick me up and take me down
im going high places
pick me up and take me down
im going high places

i was standing in the middle of the road
when a dirt devil picked me up and took me clear across town and dropped me off at the doorstep of the blind politician who was mowing his dead lawn
and the sky turned bright tangerine and i knew i had to stop

pick me up and take me down
im going high places
pick me up and take me down
im going high places
pick me up and take me down
im going high places
pick me up and take me down
im going high places

god is a junkyard dog

pick me up and take me down

and they tried to tell me its better to hurt young
because youll have your whole life to get over it
but the truth is when youre hurt young
youll have the whole rest of your life you have to think about it

a kiss like a wet fur jacket
feeling without touch
feeling without touch
thats when your soul breaks apart into a million ants falling out of an apple

i like music

god is wet
god is dry
god makes sure i dont get high

god is red
god is green
god gives me what is unseen

when i dream of god
what does it stop
to get back to dreaming of me

god is wet

How can I tell you without saying
I wasn’t ready for you at the time
I begged to show you but you asked for far too many words
These thoughts beat on my wallet like a thug
Now I can’t even read your name in a book without
Being reminded of my muteness

How do I look
How do I look stamping out the fire from under my heels
Hot on the heels of a cold look
I can’t stand another cool look

Its an accordion in the hands of a rookie
We wheeze without song
When we would yell pretty dress and then laugh
At how stupid we’d sound
Pretty dress!
Pretty dress!

How do I look
How do I look stamping out the fire from under my heels
Hot on the heels of a cold look
I can’t stand another cool look
How do I look
Hot on the heels of a burnt hook
This is the hook

oops party dress on fire

She’s a woman
Hastily drawn cat eye to hide a sore stye
Loose button down shirt
Half tucked into men’s trousers
I want to see her on a motorcycle
I want to see her in the sun

I was having a rough day
And I thought I saw her standing by the doorway
But a second glance only found a harried broom
So I gathered my mail and hurried to my room
I want to see her on a motorcycle
I want to see her in the sun

One Creation Myth

Friendship, I’ve come to find, is
Nothing that hard when I’ve got nothing on my mind
When fastness comes to breath and it has not been unkind
It’s put it up or take it down and offer to the shrine

We are going on a road trip
We’re going on a trip, listen to the tape skip
There’s smoke coming from the engine but
Throw a jug of water on it and 
We can begin!

Lovers, I’ve come to see, aren't
That hard to come by when you’re feeling free
And the sails are down because there’s nothing to the breeze
In the language of Saturn there’s three hundred words for a cheat

We are going on a road trip
We’re going on a trip, listen to the tape skip
There’s smoke coming from the engine but
Throw a jug of water on it and 
We can begin!
