Mercury Lounge 12/31/95 lyrics

(The Drugstore cover)

I
I feel the time is coming
I
I walk into your eyes

Oh, I dont care if the clock is turning
Cause Im going to the other side
You either die
Or you keep on burning alive
And I am burning

I
I walked a long long distance
I
Im feeling sore inside
Oh, I dont care if the sky is falling
Cause Ill never get to see the light

You either die
Or you keep on burning alive

i used to know this old scarecrow
he was my song
my joy and sorrow
cast alone between the furrows
of a field no longer sown by anyone

i held a dandelion
that said the time had come
to leave upon the wind
not to return
when summer burned the earth again

oh oh oh, oh oh oh....

cultivate the freshest flower
this garden ever grew
beneath these branches
i once wrote such childish words for you

The ghost comes to visit
With my keys in his pocket
Kisses in my mouth with his
Eyes hanging out of his sockets
My memorie's crumbling
Under still resistance
I was torn out like pages
From the book of existence

I woke up in a strange place
Music so loud that I spit up my beer
I made a call for my blackened cab
Some destination was moving on in
I remember the words that you told me
