I was just a boy When I lost my pants Running through the fields Learning how to dance I should've known By the moon's glow That my hair would strain To ever grow In the churches Flirting with the chumps In the hospitals Getting stomachs pumped In the elevators Printed on the sheets You buried your blood Underneath my cheek Tiger-eyes and Apache tears The morning time my sister says I'm weird Mountain peaks with rocky hats Roots are red where claybeds pack My minute hand is long and gold Silver mines explode when I get old All the tots rotting in the moss What did you smoke to make it grow so long I met myself in a way I hadn't imagined any other day I met myself it was in a way I hadn't imagined any other day Take a strand from your man in the East Another from your brother with the Ivory teeth Paradise's freaky fowl Till the spectrum streams from the lighthouse tower Tiger-eyes and Apache tears The morning time my sister says I'm weird Mountain peaks with rocky hats Roots are red where claybeds pack My minute hand is long and gold Silver mines explode when I get old All the tots rotting in the moss What did you smoke to make it grow so long I met myself in a way I hadn't imagined any other day I met myself in a way I hadn't imagined any other day I met myself in a way I hadn't imagined any other day I met myself it was in a way I hadn't imagined any other day
