Water Curses

to be the motion actor,

two broken strings, attracted,

to groom my face in life and doom

hesitate to throw a coin in,

a wish could be a bad thing,

my mouth is just a mush of drool

standing on the bridge i

wink at you from up high

a talking fish comes as she moves

i want to be like water

and never need a doctor

and carve the earth without my tools

(do it all)

all the things that i relate to well,

like authors and painters

transparent paper wings

that float above me while i sleep

to make the room more natural

so we could die in it and die in it and die

the color after sunset

you'd do anything to jinx it,

it'll crush your sculpture just like a willow

he doesn't need a house

his shoes will walk for miles

there's a gypsies face maked on my pill.

i want to be like water and slip into your throat

and make you feel alive and good

i want to be like water and never have a doubt and

reflect what is around my pool

(do it all)

all the things that i relate to them

like authors and painters,

transparent paper wings

that float above me while i sleep

to make the room more natural

so we could die in it and die in it and die.

and all the dreams that i awake to read like ghostly paintings

and all the things i hate, i wish i didn't have to hate

to find a room thats natural

to live and die in it, live and die, live and die.

i don't think you know just what you're doing

you pretend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving

said i don't think i know exactly what i'm doing

but i tend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving

when you wake up from your snoozin'

i'll tell you how to do it my way

i'll tell you what I'm doin'

there's a knife up in the drawer

anybody try to stop it

and i'll find out where you're stompin'

and it's all about the days you spend

well, i'll be at our home
