Cross-Eyed Love

I thought I’d never see such an anomaly

But on the acetate it’s happening again

Found all she’d ever need: bright armor, noble steed

And he’s looking back at me like a Santa Ana Wind

I’ve been tired and I’ve been tried

I’ve been through this cross-eyed love

And I’m falling, hard breathing

Into the television

We may not know the hour it comes to pass

But we’ll know when it’s done

Two sounds metallically thrumming in harmony

Just adding scenery to this theater in the round

It’s all apparently a photo opportunity

It seemed like curtain call, but the lights are going down

I’ve been tired and I’ve been tried

I’ve been through this cross-eyed love

And I’m falling, hard breathing

Into the television

We may not know the hour it comes to pass

But we’ll know when it’s done

We really thought that we could mend society

Undo the apple tree or just build a better snake

And as for being loved, it’s not what you’re thinking of

More like a falling dream when you’re just about to wake

No use in suing me for abstract imagery

I swear I saw it all just once upon a time

And when I pontificate I hope that you relate

Sometimes I worry I’m alone in my own mind

I’ve been tired and I’ve been tried

I’ve been through this cross-eyed love

And I’m falling, hard breathing

Into the television

We may not know the hour it comes to pass but

We may not know the hour it comes to pass but

We may not know the hour it comes to pass but

We’ll know when it’s done
