the only time i won't be mad, boy
bout a phone call at three am
is when i hear your voice
say my name on the other end
baby don't hesitate, no, don't wait
just go; blow the red
drive straight to my bed
i can't wait
run that red light babe
run that red light babe
straight to my bed
i can't wait
so run that red light babe

rivers are often soft
occasionally harder than cement
if you fall fast enough
when i looked into your eyes
for the first time
for the first time
i felt bricks at my feet
i felt want in my breast
i was afraid of the beauty
and the bluebirds
afraid of the want
capitalized by cupid
i might rip open
if i look atcha too long
i might tear myself open
let the sun fry my lungs

guess i'll hang on a butcher's hook
flayed naked
or dangle from a caterpillar's string
and wake up shaken
to find myself wrapped in paper
twine twisted round me
chained up
wake up
with paper-thin wings
wet and faded
the pavement of your smile is hot
crack me open, i'm an egg
full of thunderstorms
fry me up
i am fruit of the beautiful
timeless, immutable
the universal split pea soup
diluvial

the only time i won't be mad, boy
bout a phone call at three am
is when i hear your voice
say my name on the other end
baby don't hesitate, no, don't wait
just go; blow the red
drive straight to my bed
i can't wait
run that red light babe
run that red light babe
straight to my bed
i can't wait
so run that red light babe

everything vibrates
moves thru time and space
waves of light energy
while stardust waits
in one place
agrees to hold hands
move together
dance a life or a ballet
til it wavers and dissipates
to be human
is to be animal,
vegetable, mineral
buzzing structures intangible
brief collaboration
little fingers weave
tapestries invisible
fabric of your heart and mine
a loving thimbleful
windows to the soul
waters above waters below
as genesis spoke
i know you are mine
i am your
waters above and waters below
torrential is my love
yet your thirst is unquenchable
in the sunshine
everybody loves the sunshine
