Message for Albert lyrics

How have you been
in the shape you were in
I'm suprised that you got where you're going

Who would believe
What a date you would be
If I knew I'd have thought about knowing

And in between now and the last time we met
I'd open the door if I met you again
And I swear that we'd be better/fair ever friends
From here until 10 miles from nowhere

What is that there
In your brown paper box

Finally in the meantime since you paid for my room
I thought I'd write the European B-side or 2

See Mr. Merry's in the garden
Trying to tie his high top shoes
Johnny's off of daff-dill mountian
Praying for the news

and Oh what a piece I am
if you'd...be my friend

Thanks to all that you made me replace
For all you gave to me you left on my face

See Mr. Merry is the garden

I sing above my vision. I sing above my face.
A fat old amphibian speaker for the dead.
Gather round ye animals. Gather round this lake.
Take upon your vigil. Wallow in the wake.

It was glorious of glories-a maple April day
With a pocket full of horseflies and eyes as bright as rays
They said walk away walk away if you can
but one leap out the village and our caravan began

Mr. Merry cries in his coffin
For days he says he can remember
And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs
Of a beautiful purple mountain
From every walk of life we've come to see the Last Great American

May I now present you the speaker,
�Friends he was a man of men, a man of gold…
He had a how do you say, ethical like sense�
That's when the President started to giggle

Bella played the bridge every second loneliest night of the year
Took a certain liking to a fellow there - Bella
She said I brought her back to some old better man - fellah
Bella she was born today feeling kinda spry
Bella's Birthday Cake was burning
Like Lightning, Like Fire
Bella's Birthday Cake was burning...

Bella made her bed in red every loneliest night of the year

Do you believe in the man in the garden
Do you believe that he was there
Do you believe in the man in the garden
Do you believe or do you care

Did he rise from the ashes and lead the sky above
Did he lie in the name of love

....in the garden

Do you believe in the path that you follow
Do you believe it takes you where you want
Do you believe in the lies that you swallow

Big Daddy's in the back seat taking to the Mammas
God don't the world smell good today
I'm bigger than a fruitcake
Smaller than your honor
A farmer for a daughter..HEY

I've cut off the curls
I shaved half my face
Became half the man you asked to replace.
I'm willing to save you
You said you're worth saving
But half of my appetite's lost half it's craving
Stand in the mirror
That's me beside you
The one with the smile, the one who abides you.
Don't mind the madman
The killer, the lover
He's slowly fading one into the other.

Where is that white picket fence

Day by Day I wake up for you I do
and I rise to who knows who
well if I can say...some other day

Day by Day I reach out to you I do
and I pretend there's something to it
And if I can say...I've had better days

Day by Day I resort to you I do
and I wash up after you're through
If I can say...that's O.K.

You're in my head again
You're in my bed again
You're in my mirror again

I got a thing for fish with no eyes
Who swim deep in the sea
With nothing to see

I've got a thing for mountians of sand
Left all to their own
To quietly stand

won't you help me now...

Take me to the bottom of...
Take me to the bottom of...
Take me to the bottom of...the ocean

I got a thing for mermaiden tails
Swim naked with me
Your hair of seaweed

I got a thing for sunken shipwrecks

Put away your tears and your sleepy eyes
Put away that bullshit, Big boys they don't cry to their mama's
She'll be back soon
Put away your raincoat and make your bed
Take another bullet right to your head
We're going on a picnic and we'll get there soon

She says: Maybe it's over
He say's: there's plenty more fish in the sea
I say: Don't go away from me:
