Nobody has his own place in the back He keeps it in ordera neat little shack And every day he goes down to the beach Looking for a clam or an oyster to eat He saidTrn not unhappythere is nothing to fear I m just trying to disappear It s not unusualthe future is clear I m just trying to disappear He saidI know what I m doingI know who I am I m the number one fan of the invisible man He s covered in sweat from his head to his toes But what he s looking for nobody knows lt s not there and it s not herehe said Trn just trying to disappear Nobody stood in the middle of the street Where he drew a chalk outline around his feet Then he smiled and lifted his face to the sky Flapping his arms like he was trying to fly He saidI may not make it to that great beyond But I ll never be found with my feet on the ground I m pretty far gone but I m still here Can nobody help me to disappear? Nobody sat on a bench in the park Waiting for the day to turn into the dark Then he waved goodbye to that setting sun And did a little dance when the day was done He saidThe shadows loom, it will be night soon And the stars will shine over a rising moon I have nothing to lose, I have nothing to fear I m just trying to disappear Nobody went for a walk in the rain I lent him my boots and my walking cane The cane they found hanging from a tree But those boots will never walk back to me He s not far oft but he s nowhere near That s obvious but it s not very clear Nobody talksnobody hears He said Trn just trying to disappear Listen mannever mind who this is We ve got your wife Yeayour better halfyour partner in life You ll find her Volvo abandoned at the mall Her credit cards are in the trunk We don t want that junk We want the moneyand we want it in cash Cause there are ten sticks of dynamite stuck togethe with duct tape They re wrapped around her new permstrapped around her little face So don t do anything funnymandon t do anything smartor we ll Blow up her head Listen manwe ve got your son Yeayour one and only heir The scion of your loins the chosen one e picked him up oft the playing field You ll get bis short pants by priority mail We need sonne cash to finance our political aims Put it in your work-out bag and leave it at the gym Cause there are ten sticks of dynamitestuck together with duct tape They re wrapped around his little skull just to stop the constant snivelling And it we don t hear from you by tomorrowwe II Blow up his head We ve got your daughterthat s right Daddy s little girlthe light of your life And all we want is every penny you ve saved Empty out your retirement fund and put it in an old suitcase How do you know we ve got her? We II send you her little pinkie You can shove it up your ass and call it stinky Cause there are ten sticks of dynamite wrapped around her golden locks And only you have the power to make this stop And if we don t get everything that we wantwe II Blow up her head Forget it man We re coming after you We have no political beliefs We don t want your fucking money There s just one thing that motivates us We hate your fucking guts There are ten sticks of dynamite waiting for you They ll cover your eyes They ll muffle your ears They ll shut your fucking mouth They ll Blow up your head As I was driving around aimlesslya waking dream occurred to me That everyone I knew had died that day That my friendsco-workers and loved oneshad all just suddenly passed away Wellthere were drunken car crashesairline disastersand suicides that were unexplained And as I drove past familiar scenesstreets and buildings that were a hundred times seen As a wave of contentment washed over meI wondered what this could possibly mean As the sun spilled its warmth over the houses and trees I felt that I was finally free But you know what they say The world wasn t built in a day You know what they say The world wasn t built in a day no way I picked up a woman in the parking lot of the local Safeway WellI had seen her face a hundred times but I never knew her name And as I drove her home she laughed and she sighed and the strain of the moment passed away I explained how my father had diedhow I had seen his body and never cried She let her hand fall on my leg and there she let it stray When I dropped her off she asked me upI politely said I couldn t stay And as she walked to the dooras those bags of groceries gently swayed I turned the wheel and muttered to myselfNo way, man, no way [Chorus] Sunset over the mountains and on the harbour that beneath them lay In long shadows the traffic lights gleamedred and greenthey traced the way Through a corridor of sidewalkswhere people wandered at the end of their day I drove to my space on the waterfrontpicked up my guitar and started to play Alone I sang for the people that I knewfor my friends and familyand for them I prayed That no storm would come and sweep them upthat no winds would bear them away I sangYour voice from my throat cries, your heart beats in my chest, From my head stare your eyes, for you I live and die! This loneliness is a lie! This loneliness is a lie! [Chorus] The streets were empty as I drove homethe air was cool and the sky was dark Streetlamps cast their mockery of light over ghostly shapes in an empty night Should I believe in the things I see? Am I in you? Are you in me? What should I believe? Tell me. What should I believe? At homeon the porchthe wind in the trees murmured a background for my waking dream Where I drive through a city with labyrinth streetswhere no one walkswhere no voices speak Where empty towers above me rise toward an emptystarless sky Like a cold wind washing over meI saw the meaning of this dream I felt that I was finally freeI felt that I was finally free [Chorus] You lie before me sleepingyour eyes flutter in a dream Am I in you? Are you in me? What should I believe? What should I believe? But you know what they say... you know what they say I keep myself awake at night I try to stopbut I can t fight That voice that whispers ceaselessty The one that only talks to me It tells me what I have to fear It spits its venom in my ear It calculates and carefully Enumerates its strategies Round and round its loves and hates It endlessly reiterates It never stopsI ve never heard The silence of that final word But I ve got to stop talkingI can t stop talking There is no stopping a brain that keeps talking I know it s not healthyI know it s not true I don t even know who I m talking to But I can t stop talkingI ve got to stop talking All night and all day I have something to say I drone on and onthough I know it s not true I ve got to stop talkingI m not talking to you The truth around my tongue is curled A chain of words that binds the world In a feverall I Is captured in my commentary The whythe whothe wherethe when Let me repeat them all agai n And then again my voice will sing The praises of it s babbling The arguments that I dissect Are lucidcogent and correct And if you foolishly object I ll Gram each word back down you neck [Chorus] If I m the talkerhere s the thing - Just who the hell is listening? And if I am not tongue but ears Then whos voice is it that I hear? I swallowchokeand clear my throat Here comes another anecdote A narrative of restlessness Of what s been done and what is next Does it love medoes it not? Will this seduction never stop? Hear the clacking parrot s beak That speaks and speaks and speaks and speaks I ve been sentenced to all the things I had to do And a naked Image grew out of my hands A craftsman without toolsI fashioned these for you Voiceless words and sketches of imaginary lands Always just we twothe bunter and pursued With every step I had you and with every step you flew I can see the glow begin to fade I can feel there s trouble to be made My left leg is numb I can t feel my tongue She cheats meI know it I know itshe cheats me Sing for us you little shit Show us all your dirty tricks For the fever we do long Sing that filthy little song This the rapethe rapethe rapethis is the I realize now that all my tears have dried All this pain and heartache was just my foolish pride What difference could there bewhat significance to me If the moon should fall or if the sun should rise Always just we twobloody red and thoughtful blue The naked image grew and stood before my eyes I m afraid there s nothing left to say I can see you turn and walk away My right side is dead I can t feel my head She cheats meI know it I know itshe cheats me Now we have youthis is fun From yourself you cannot run Sing for us that serenade What it s like to be afiaid This is thethe rapethe rapethis is the I walk around like a zombie or a clown My feet are yellow clay My head is talking all the timeevery minute second of the day My knees are weak My breathit reeks My face is lined I have no time My lips are dry They re redmy eyes My palms are viel I can t forget She cheats meknow it I know itshe cheats me This is thethe rapethe rape this is the Give me the pushgive me the push Over the sideover the side Look in my eyeslook in my eyes Give me the pushover the side I m aliveI m aliveI m alright I m alrightI m alrightI m alive I m alrightlook in my eyes Is it Hell below or God on high?
