Paradise in Me

I hold it, I fold it
I throw it on the floor
I wrote it, but maybe I'm afraid
That you'll be bored

It's very real and true and sad
And hopeful just like me
It's one of those things I'll never tell
I'll carve it in a tree

I follow you, I watch you
I thank god you're in my class
I picture us in the schoolbus
And we're holding each others' hand

I need a plan for you to fall
In love with me and then
I'll make you marry me, I'll wait...

I never wear my glasses when
I know that you can see me
You act as if I'm not around
But deep down you must need me

I draw you, every single
Feature in my head
I try to do my homework
But I dream of you instead

I need a plan for you to fall
In love with me and then
I'll make you marry me, I'll wait...
I'll make you marry me
I'll make you marry me
I'll make you marry, marry me...
I'll wait...

Thunder, please explain (please explain)
why you ask me how I am, I'm fine I
wonder is it sane (is it sane)
to pierce purple eyeballs made of china

{Canon}
I love you like a son, like a game I have won
like a toothbrush I used for the Eiffel Tower
my youth, it is gone, it's a boot stuck in the ground
is there truth to be found in an iron flower

Mmmm... I will try hard to be a spark of power
mmmm... I will, I'll never be your iron flower

Stone please explain (please explain)
why your silence makes more noise then thunder
bones, is it sane (is it sane)
to obey me and the flesh you're under

{Canon}
Your words are soon gone and it hurts, I have none
take a jump from your pretty linguistic tower
the goal of speech, so obnoxious to reach
only one thing to do, melt your iron flower

Mmmm... I will try hard to be a spark of power
mmmm... I will, I'll never be your iron flower

I'm sure you're only dreaming
You're only juggling with my mind
While I feel more and more like screaming
For the scar you left behind

I'm sure you're only dreaming
I'm sure we're just a part
Of what the lucky man believes in
I'm sure you know this song by heart

You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you talk
You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you say, 'shut up'
You're only dreaming, I hope your dream is in me
You're only dreaming you're free

You will show up while I'm dreaming
Out of nowhere cross my way
You will ask me not to scream and
You will smile and you will say, 'dear friend,

You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you talk
You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you say, 'shut up'
You're only dreaming, I hope your dream is in me
You're only dreaming you're free
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming, dreaming...
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming, dreaming...'

I saw an old woman in a wheelchair
On the highway yesterday
I saw an old woman in a wheelchair
On the highway yesterday
And as I asked her to pull over
To make sure no truck would hit her
She smiled and mumbled, 'okay, whatever you say.'
And I said, 'I wonder why.'

She said, 'Girl, you're so naive
And you're too young to understand
I am now chasing my husband Stan
A pale man in a black suit came to take him
In trade for a cup of tea
A pale man came to take him away from me'

And I said, 'I see,' (and I really did)
'You go and chase him, go ahead
And when you catch him will you send him my love
And tell the pale man to make sure
To call before he comes to take me too.
To take me too.'

(I saw an old woman...)

When your pubic hair's on fire, something's wrong
When you think you're the Messiah, something's wrong
When you mistake a plane for Venus, something's wrong
When your girlfriend's got a penis,

Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...

When you like music more than life, something's wrong
When you start sleeping as you drive, something's wrong
When you're favorite drink is thinner, something's wrong
When you're proud to be a sinner,

Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...

When a canary drives a tractor, something's wrong
When your president's an actor, something's wrong
When your jacket's plagued with dandruff, something's wrong
If you think that this song matters,

Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...

Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...
Something's wrong...

In your dreams, in your bed
in everyone and in your head
on the wall, it ain't white
in every letter that you write

In the way people talk
in the shape of stones and rocks
he's your hero, he's your God
he listens to this song and nods.... and nods

In a voice, in a sound
when you're happy when you're down
it will pass, things will change
but you don't want to hear that

In the scent of the air
on the clothes that people wear
you feel love, so does he
and he's telling you, 'I'm here'.... 'I'm here'
he's here.... he's here

Lalala, Lalala,.........

In a dark well
Late at night
Children crying, they've lost their kite
They're left with nothing but

Giant lizards
Eating deer
Growing appetite as they notice that
Their prey's stills breathing

Lizards' eyes reflection
Shows a glimpse of imperfection
Through the spastic sighs of innocence
Of deer's blood and it's cruel attraction

White kite fauna, do you feel
White kite fauna, is it real
Is it real

In a dark well
I found a kite
Bloodstained, so beautiful
Recognizable

I close my eyes and
I perceive
Marble emptiness
Looking for my soul to bless

Lizards' eyes reflection
Shows a glimpse of imperfection
Through the spastic sighs of innocence
Of deer's blood and it's cruel attraction

White kite fauna, do you feel
White kite fauna, is it real
White kite fauna, do you feel
White kite fauna, will it heal
Will it heal

In a dark well
Late at night
I am crying
I've lost my kite
Left with nothing
