Don't Be Scared

You were sketching mirrors I was planting sky Underneath the cherry tree On the 4th of July You threw the mountain sideways And tossed the earth up straight And like a dog you caught it in your mouth To celebrate your life! Flirting with disaster Two weeks in a row A policeman's body Trapped inside a painter's skull And we may meet in darkness For the rest of our days And our mouths may hang open Even when we've met our graves Then our jaws fall right off our faces And I will sip the morning I will sip the morning I will sip the morning Till it's afternoon Then I will sip the afternoon Until that I see the moon And then I will Hooooooowwwwwwwwwlllllllllllllll... Summertime is coming I feel it in my bones My babyhair still growing And my skeleton of bones I wanted to get healthy So that you'd notice me I wanted to escape the coast guard Pretending I was sea I was not But someday, maybe... So please Don't be scared Of what you See out there Which way you turn My friend You're weaving around Like a bird I know to some It sounds absurd You're weaving around Like a little bird I know to some it sounds absurd Yeah And all I want All I want is what is true All I want All I want is what is true And I see the TV I see the talk shows with no sound I see the stars at night Even when they're not around There's blossoms beside me They're still there when the song ends I find work at the factory At the gate where the city ends I make pianos I make pianos I make pianos... And I see behind me I see the bandshell draped in black But now it's morning And the traffic's starting back I see all these streetsigns That I've never seen before I'm on my way to work today Don't want to work there anymore...
