Dueling cyclones jackknife
They've got eyes for your wife,
And the blood that lives in her heart.

Cast myself towards infinity
Trust me I have my reasons,
Had a dress for every season
It was worth it.

Pulled into town,
relatively free of hassle
I secured a room at the castle.
It paid for itself.
Checked out my surroundings,
Headed down to Thorton Park.
Find your way, discover that things are dark.
Shadowy figures babbling on about typical rural shit,
I wave bye to them in a modern way
And increase my stay at the Dock of the Bay

Quiet Ruby! Someone's coming.
Approach with stealth!
Oh it's just your precious American underground,
And it is born of wealth.
With not a writer in the rocks

Sapphires vie for your attention
She dances, they mean well in their way.
But Priest says "Please, oh can't stand my knees!
And Oh! can't bear her raven tresses caught up in a breeze like that!"

Precious doctor, do your worst!
Cut me open! Remove this thirst.
Hidden but near, a series of visions
I won't repeat them here! I won't repeat them here!

Typical me, typical me.
I gave my cargo to the sea.
I gave the water what it always wanted to be.

"Look to the West. Oh look it's no contest,"
Proud Mary said as she lit the fuse.
"I wanted you, I wanted your blues. Your blues."

All good things must come to an end;
The bad ones just go on forever.
Isn't that what I just said?
It is now and it is never.
It is now and it is never.
It is now and it is never.

Don't worry about her, she's been known to appreciate
The elegance of an empty room.
Look I made you this broom.
A predicate warning to the sun
This night advances on.

The sketchy crowd shows me drawings,
They're alright: An alternately dim and frightful waste.
Now come on honey, let's go outside.
You disrupt the world's disorder just by virtue of your grace.
You know, I didn't want to go.
But leave I must
As gratifying as this dust was.

Please don't wake me from this my golden slumber,
I am proud to be a part of this number!
