A Stranger

Cast the calming apple
Up and over satellites
To draw out the timid wild one
To convince you it's alright.
And I listen for the whisper
Of your sweet insanity
While I formulate denials
Of your effect on me.

You're a stranger,
So what do I care
You vanish today
Not the first time I hear
All the lies.

What am I to do with all this silence.

Shy away, shy away phantom.
Run away terrified child.
Won't you move away you fuckin' tornado.
I'm better off without you
Tearing my will down.

Vanishing

Disappear,
Disappear,
Higher,
Higher,
Into the air,
Slowly disappear,
No, no longer here.

Disappear,
Disappear,
Thinner, thinner,
Into the air.

Never really here,
Wasn't ever.

Like a thought
Brushing up against a sign.

Floating away,
Floating away,

Vanishing like a cyan sunday. Disappear,
Disappear,
Vanish, vanish into the air.
Slowly disappear,
Never really here.

Floating away,
Floating away.

The Nurse Who Loved Me

Say hello to the rug's topography.
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it.
Say hello to the shrinking in your head.
You can't see it but you know it's there,
So don't neglect it.

I'm taking her home with me,
All dressed in white.
She's got everything I need,
Pharmacy keys.
She's falling hard for me
I can see it in her eyes.
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys.

Say hello to all the apples on the ground.
They were once in your eyes,
But you sneezed them out while sleeping.
Say hello to everything you've left behind.
It's even more a part of your life now
That you can't touch it.

I'm taking her home with me,
All dressed in white
She's got everything I need
Some pills and a little cup.
She's falling hard for me.
I can see it in her eyes.
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys.
