I see you gracefully swimming with the country club women
In the Greenwood southside society pool
I love your amethyst eyes and your protestant thighs
You're a shimmering socialite j**el
From the Carbon Dioxide Riding Academy
To the children's crusade marching through the downtown
Well, I think I'd die, see, if you just said hi to me
When something breaks it makes a beautiful sound
Sometimes I feel like I'm watching the world
And the world isn't watching me back
But when I see you, I'm in it too
The waves come in and the waves go back
And the kids in the corner all covered in dirt
Caught trespa**ing under the moon
My father came in from wherever he'd been
And kicked my sh** all over the room
All over the room
All over the room
The room is dark and heavy with what I want to say
I see murals in the radio static and on your blue blue jeans
What would you say if I asked you to run away?
It's been done so many times I hardly know what it means
I took these blue arrangements and threw them in the sea
When older waves from older caves brought them back to me
I took these blue arrangements and stored them on a shelf
With coins on the mantle and time in a candle, in the end a boy raises himself
