Lyrics

A flask I drink of sober tea
While relay cameras monitor me
And a buzz surrounds, it does
Buzz surrounds, buzz surrounds
Closed eyed, sky wide open
Unlimited girl
Unlimited sigh
Elsewhere, indefinite
Far away
Magnifies and deepens
Ready to sing
My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath
And listening– keeps me from my hurt
My ears know that my eyes are closed
Perish thoughts like contraband
I train myself in martial arts
As advertised
I reinforce my softened parts
As advertised
See through me
Little glazed line
A world in myself
Ready to sing
My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath
Flickering, I roam
And listening
My ears know that my eyes are closed
Ready to sing
My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath
Flickering, I roam
And listening
My ears know that my eyes are closed
I see to bolts, put key to locks
No boats or rocks, I'm free to roam
On dummy screens and magazines
Closed eyed, sky wide open
Unlimited girl
Unlimited sigh
To think that I lay next to you
Wasting time when I could do
A simple job in strip lights
A flask I drink of sober tea
Till day light sends me home
Flickering, I roam
Daydreaming, admiring, being
Quietly open the world
I hear the time of the starry sky
Turning over at midnight
See through me
Little glazed line
A world in myself
Daydreaming, admiring, being
Quietly open the world
I hear the time of the starry sky
Turning over at midnight
