Jandek - Shadow Of Leaves lyrics

Your rating:

You got your swiveling chair

You can turn all about 

You got your tickers ticking 

Tock-tock, tick-tock 

Just take away the deadwood 

Let it all grow green 

Put some silk under you 

Or it could be wool 

I can call a light fixture man 

To put in the lights 

As long as you hang around 

I'm not going anywhere 

I'll put out the thoughts 

And we'll look at them 

We'll study the structure 

And we'll draw a conclusion 

And we'll make up our minds 

And we'll talk about it 

And you can spend some time 

In front of me 

Because I broke through a window 

And I'm here on top of you 

We're havin' our best time 

Just yes it too gloriously (?) 

You walk on my platform 

You can take the rest of me 

I'm fixed with you now 

It's some kind of an eternity 

But I'm lasting forever 

I can't shake loose 

But I broke through the spell 

Now I got lucidity 

And I'm clear as glass rainbow 

And the shadow of leaves 

We're walking down the street 

Now it's a hundred degrees 

And I'm freezing on Mount Everest 

I got back in my dream 

And I'm dreaming forever 

Woo, I'm awake 

I'm sleeping in the wake time 

I'm awake in my sleep 

I got my fingers wet 

There was a lot of rain 

It was pouring bottles 

And those cold bottles 

Got my fingers wet 

But I'll bet the glass you got 

Puts a liquid in you 

And then you're fluid 

I got me my mechanical produced beverage 

I know my liquids 

I guess I'll duck in from the storm 

And I'll let those bottles crash down in the street 

The streets of mercy 

Smashing all those bottles 

On the pavement in the rain 

I won't drive my car for the rest of the day 

I'll think about breathing 

And watch the air rustle about 

Bye-bye, you Sunday 

It's not a mile I made you 

You just appeared in time for me 

You walked into my horizon 

You never left my sight 

You just became a lot of other things 

I got my reason for just where I am 

I'm thankful of the walk I had 

You told me you would never end 

But I made you from the earth 

Except I jumped and didn't come back 

Hey, look at all the things gone by 

It's a stream of consciousness 

Except of course those green plants 

Are they really really real 

Hey your hair, even if it's white 

I'll get it back dark again 

Listen to me please, sit over here 

I never felt this way 

And lived to say “I'm gone” to you 

I no longer exist, I'm on a planet 

But I keep thinking about time 

And I frequent your grave, life 

And you frequent mine 

And we're here together 

There ain't no better place to be 

I'll write your ticket 

And you can't talk about me 

You can say my name now 

You know you got me listening 

I can go the night now 

This place is sparkling 

And I'm all fresh and new 

I got you in my world 

And I feel my body inside of my clothes 

I got inner presences 

I am all around 

Achieved my task 

Now I'm waiting for you 

To share the spaces that we traversed in this life 

So, if it's heaven 

I wouldn't want it any other way
