All of the sudden she disappears, Just yesterday she was here, Somebody tell me if I am sleeping, Someone should be with me here, 'Cause I don't wanna be alone. I wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand, And I wanna be scattered from here in this catapult, What a big baby, won't somebody save me please, You won't find nobody home. All of these quiet battered voices, Wait for the hunger to come, We got little revolvers and stupid choices, And no one to say when we're done, Well I don't wanna bring you down. I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes, 'Cause I know there's little things about me, That would sing in the silence of, So much rejection in every connection I make, Can't find nobody home. I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes, 'Cause I know there's little things about me, That would sing in the silence of, So much rejection in every connection I make, I wanna be the last thing that you hear when you're falling asleep. I wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand, And I wanna be scattered from here in this catapult, What a big baby, won't somebody save me please, I can't find nobody home.

Mary steers clear of the men from space Back alley kid with an American face She wants the wine, he brings a case To carry them on through I said you know what I know about the bedroom boys Undercover Russians in a pink Rolls Royce They bang the drum, she sets the beat They carry Miss America out into the street She sings, "snowman, scarecrow, john doe, buffalo" I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Snowman sideshow, do do, do do do I fell out of love in the snowbound days Riding the subway in a Valium haze I need the whites, she gets the blues It carries us on through All these American boys at the Park N Shop Selling their memories for a dollar a pop Ivan the ancient spaceman race fan Corners the market on American taste And says, "spaceman, scarecrow, peep show, freak show" I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Punk rock video, do do, do do do All the sudden the light inside you dies Maybe you're going on alone Maybe you're going all alone She dreams of sunlight, sings of smaller things White sugar bowls and wedding rings You're going on from me alone You're going on, you're on your own She was married alive in a Moscow surgery Hoping to die in a cold war nursery All of the kids back home believe in much more than we do It's a memory play where the memory fades Into pictures you took, into records we played Spy versus spy, scarecrow and I Out across the darkness where the bomber jets fly Singing, "spaceman, smoke show, scarecrow, Geronimo" I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Snowman peepshow, do do, do do do I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, oh hell no, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Listening on the midnight radio, do do, do do do

Skin the color of bark Clothes smellin' like trees Diggin' my earth, find my roots and weeds My truth bleeds right back in the arm No scar, but I left my mark My friend got clean and O.D.'ed, life is just that dark Clothes smellin' like trees Diggin' my earth, find my roots and weeds My truth bleeds right back in the arm No scar, but I left my mark My friend got clean and O.D.'ed, life is just that dark But life is just that bright That when the sunset shines See the graph he writes I'm back tonight, with a sack to light In honor of the past I write I'm wide open, with no glass of wine Stuck in a barrel, I'll get better with time While you measure how the pleasure declines I'm stackin' cheddar while the bread just rise With my eyes and my ears glued here on my grind, cutty Creepin' on I come up No sleepin' till the sun's up Tellin' secrets to the drum thumps Pledge allegiance to the blood pump Until I leak my last liter, here's my one love And all these angels got their guns up But no fear when my teeth and my tongue touch I am here, and I speak for the young bloods Who've seen the flood, and they drug all the anchors up And set sail through the world, in the name of trust Hard work, and the crux that it made in us I'm 'bout to bust, all my veins full of gold dust That 1985 California gold rush, in the spine plus the flesh that it holds up I'm out for mines and my wolves got it sewn up One crow, one eagle on my shoulders And my eyes hold the light that approaches

The weight has been lifted I buried the knife (buried) Here comes the elephant carried by mice Here to marry the mic (marriage) The one tusk cut dipped in blood Now dare me to write (dare me) Watch a murder of crows Turn into a pack of wolves And prowl the streets for the feast they owe Fat sacks and a stack of gold Get blown and turn back to crows I hear evil I see evil, but I speak needle Full of medicine for all of these dead people Sight beyond sight Carry the eyes of a dead eagle treaded in the twilight Leather bag of bones browns when the sun is shown Ten fingers that have touched the globe Ten toes to the dusty road One skull made of bone 'bout to touch the throne Eskimo with an icepick Chipping icebergs down when I write shit Priceless life lives off papyrus High into the sky Catches fire and falls right into your iris Wipe the ash from your eyelashes And follow on the white rabbit Tonight you might catch it (catch-it) Been clinging on to madness But I finally built a kingdom from my passion So start to divvy up the cash and I pull the next world wonder out the back alley trash can A vision ever lasting They try to get em' but they couldn't build a prison that would trap him But in this land here the shaman's a king Better follow your dreams or fall deep into the hollow of rings I've gone into tomorrow it seems to suck the sorrow out, I spit my piece Wake up face up with a heart to get right And the world has gone wrong I'm darker than midnight But I'm brighter than Zeus' strikes from rolling these two dice Tell me the world ends well I guess we got tonight Dance on my own grave this ground is now sacred The art, well it takes time my hands well they take bread The engine in my heart starts to run in on hatred No one make it far in this world with the faceless Raise out the graves that get dated to fallen Goodbye for them now no I'm out for my callin' Staring out my chips 'bout to push them all in Standing on the cliffs one slip and I'm falling X4 I wrote this one on Sunday with no sun rays Under a grey and blue sky thinking one thing Be a king by the time that the sun came Now I rhyme while it shines like gold plates X4 Here comes the elephant carried by mice Carried by mice, ca-carried by mice Here comes the elephant Here comes the elephant Here comes the elephant
