Appendages flailing, youre running at me
Ferocious, tenaciously clawing at me
The devious gelatin holding me fast
Miraculous now you let me move past
Over the wall rushing rivers of sleaze
The tip of stalactites incising my knees
A slipper, a sand dollar day at the shore
Nice evening at home that I dread even more
Would you please
Make clear to me
Im peering out through your opacity
Though you rehearse
Tomorrows verse
Forgive me if I dont sing in your key
Look back on those days when my life was a haze
The gelatin lay on a truncated sleigh
Copernicus drank from a vessel that stank
From the Freemasons crank to the overflow tank
Bane of the weasel, for biding is fun
Jump on the turnstile and watch me go round
Swim with the cactus and float with the stone
I try to convey what you strive to condone
Would you please
Make clear to me
Im peering out through your opacity
Though you rehearse
Tomorrows verse
Forgive me if I dont sing in your key
Would you please
Make clear to me
Why nothing is the first thing that I see
And if you do
And I see you
Then you will be the nothing left for me
