(Maitland)
I was thinking of you yesterday
And I swear you were almost here
You were only around for a second say
But it seemed like years
And we called and we cursed like a thousand birds
And it took me by surprise
To be left in the search for this rainfall of words
To bring Lazarus to life
You were talking to me yesterday
From the sound of a distant place
Though I seem to be there in some way
There was no one behind the face
Then a part of me found
As I was feeling around
As you do when you're struck blind
Now I'm finally free
I just never believed
It was emptiness I'd find
CHORUS
It's why I've let it slide
A part of me that lived for you just died
It's why I've let it slide
You and me we're both on the same ride
Just on different sides
I was thinking it through
Thinking of you
I'm finally free
I just never believed
It was emptiness I'd find
CHORUSI'm sittin' here on the corner
without a shirt outta work.
pickin' all the paint outta my hair
in the back - cadillac jack.
I'm swimmin' a grizzly bath pool
painted it white all through the night.
stubbin' my toe on a garden back ho
rubbin' his head on the bed
wearin' no clothes on a rubber raft
swimmin in cream, on the scene.
now I'm naked on the book
kill the nun and I'm a crook
pot of gold go now
rippin' tortoises on the ground.
