Dont come at me With the blues half cocked. I like to think this is what they say, When I'm all in, With nothing but A blues of a kind. You know my star sign.

Timelessness Is conditional. When 5pm Is confidential. Scam likely Is non troppo. I came to play An ambient game. A better will For what's it's name. I'm in between imaginations, I'm second to some, With the benefit Of imagination. Classicness Is contingent, On how hard You tried To stop Mistakes You wrote Yourself. Non troppo. I came to play An ambient game. A better will For what's it's name. We never stop Conditioning. I'm inbetween imaginations, I'm second to some, With the benefit Of imagination.

Not good Or bad, As bad As the next room is a trap. Caught sleeping in the 80's. Take a shower. Local shadows. Operators always name their sheep. But I figured out How to speed dream in the 80's. You couldn't not sleep And not mention it in the 80's. You got in more sleep Than anyone in the 80's. Hi def REM Went away With the 80's. Sleep is a river Of it's own, If you throw In a wish, Let it disappear. Because tonight Is the night That your dreams Are already Here.

Im beginning To think I'm So insensitive, To the things I need and To the things I give. There's enough room For a day or two. I'm going down. It wont hurt To ask? Tour in the land before last Time. I stood up too fast. It's been forever since Nothing came to mind. Well, nothing came to mind. What are you in the mood for Green Day or Sun Ra? Sundays are back for life. I dream of a check engine light. I wont last, Sundays are back for life. Check Engine light, Light, light, light, Check.

I love My chances. And my odds add Circumstances. If I'm being Romantic, Ill just say- I'm set, All good, Imma head out, So far out, That I'm lost, And loving it. As they say, You said it. My 24 hr moment with you, Ends with a bizarre sense that I'm a celebrity lemon. Cant recognize bootleg enterprise, Even though I identify as Clinically famous. From my Three point Line I stole From my friend. Late nights Where it ends. No more new Disguises, Or the premiere Of more surprises. My 24 hr moment with you, Ends with a bizarre sense that I'm a celebrity lemon. An alternate sunrise recognized, Even though I already said goodbye To this obtuse moment. What's left To believe in? I'm stuck within. When the real world Feels unreal, When tomorrow's The raw deal. There's no songs Left to sing, Only breakthrough listening. The static is glistening, The static is glistening, From everything uninteresting, This transmission is signaling, Because even nothings Got something to prove. Because even nothing's Got something For you, For you. Im callin' it long distance whispering, Because I'm insecure about Just about Anything.

I look for you, In everyone. And long distance, Biofeedback. It's always night With you. Always goin' Sorta soon. A piece of cake Come true. Forever is a mood. Professional speculation. There's no prerequisite For satisfaction. The pile I'm sitting on? A total icon, Total icon, Total icon. You ask yourself, Why does this happen All the time? An ETA You never had in mind. But if you're coming Come on through. Long distance Whispers blue. A figure figures you. A listening breakthrough. Serious questions Are wonderin', Way up ahead Where the clouds are colorin'. Like piles of people, Famous for what, Famous for what, Famous for what.

I've been here so long My head became a number. I'm calling you from two phones In case I get an answer. Grey days used To be so underground. The shade used to Elude the lost and found. I haven't talked To anyone Since I left The moon's late show. It's the white background, It's the white background. Arrange the hard outcome, It can weigh a ton. I haven' talked to anyone Since I left The moon's late show. It's the white background, It's the white background. Arrange the hard outcome, Think until I cum. Radical charm, Mixed with science on mars. The air behind the cheap seats Is starring in the movies. I've been collecting chairs. I've been having problems, With shadows on the wall, They keep signing up For autumn. I've been here so long My head became a number. I'm calling you from two phones In case I get an answer.

If I'm granted one last sky I'd be backstage to a sunset.
