The Ray

I don't see many women I like to see but
if I'm overwhelming you
you just tell me to go
I'm used to that
but if I stop looking
you'll have to tell me to
it's just that my eyes can't stop looking at you
and if you look back
we're in deep trouble
but that's where I want to be
you could be there
so if you go away
why did you do that
did you miss my call
or have something else to do
I'll polish the furniture
and clean out myself
I'll disappear
be a new man every day
you won't be able to stand it
but if you can't I'll die
and be born
we'll play in the tall grass
I don't need nothing
just you in my eyes
I don't see many women I like to see but
if I'm overwhelming you
just tell me to go
I'm used to that
but if I stop looking
you'll have to tell me to
it's just that my eyes can't stop looking at you
and if you
we are in control of something powerful
and strange
there ain't nothing more

sometimes I think there's not anyplace to go
like I can't get away
and there's all of it going on anyway
I see it all today
and I know I can't get away
it's not about the greenery
where do you put your seed and harvest
the clouds
do I need the rain
or is it the dry time
but it doesn't matter I've seen it all
today
and those things don't really go away
yes I know that I could forget about them
and they'd disappear
and maybe I'll do that
and live a different life
like I forgot about the secret
you think you got the holy place
well God is everywhere
you could take God from the night stalk
way out where you could see them
but that star's only gotta with all that rotten trash
and the life and the death
rolled on the avenue
just keep yourself waiting
and it'll come to you

sometimes I think like there's not any place to go
like I can't get away and there's all of it going on anyway
I see it all today
forget it
I forgot it
but I'm looking to see that you're waiting all around the town

somehow I couldn't take a girl with me
but thanks for the ride
whatever it was was not for me
just my memory
it's hard to keep
my life I couldn't take another body
but you traversed my thoughts
I've got your picture
but I'll keep looking
but I don't want to do that
why did you take me there
it was out of my realm
I lost control
and I don't want to do that
no no no no
but you can't present your face
that's a good thing to see
no no no no
I got to go away
there is something else calling
could slip away and not be found
unless I wanted to be found
bye bye bye bye

I'm just watching what comes in and out of this place
I'm just knowing that the colors stayed the same
so when you see me
I don't have a street
I'm just ambling through here
I'm just passing on by
I don't need to stay here
but then again I do
I do to you
and it's all the time
you left your imprint now I'm branded in the field
the rocks and the creeks have captured my eye
but here I am again
in the canyon of your place
I brought back the blue ocean
wave crash
the rivers and the creeks and the green in the rain

I took a Honolulu direct
I knew I had to put together two weeks
I want to step in that place
and the islands and the sea
it doesn't take too much
they ain't got no bad things
that you've not been looking for
so take your chances
hey is there any doubt
you can picture the experience
be what you must
or be nothing at all
it's not that you've got it bad
it's just the getting of the good
so think about the Honolulu direct
we're in the real quick
you're there kind of society
flim flam you've done that thing
and now you carry all the benefits
you graciously improved yourself
you're so much better
so better you be
as you open that gate
to the nightfall
garden in the moon
I'll be there waiting
anticipation of you
I go now
on the Honolulu direct

sometimes there's just thinking
that's the best thing to do
I know you don't do that
but it's all the same to me
you could erase all the history
you could take out the time
but what about the improvements
what about these better days
it's only a change
you didn't see
only a son
you didn't have
come down and walk around among the currents
that wash their waves on you
it's a crystalline dream
of a ransom note
you're being offered to me
but I don't know the price
it's all something not to do
but I'll clink my glass with you
and we'll laugh
and be serious
and it's a difficult way
to spend the night and day
and you say now here's your wife
here's her husband
let's get classical with the beautiful women lined up against the wall
and I will go to see you
say hello
and we'll talk and spend some time
next to each other
and I'll drown in your exotic charm
only because I found you here
you were not expecting anything
surely not what you see in me
but we're next to each other

as the economic disfavor
left you walking around here with me
how could you find me
you know I didn't tell you
it's cold when it's cold
it's hot when it's hot
it' a comfortable existence walking around down here with you
how do you do
have a nice evening
I want to talk the words that you listen to
you're reading my book
I burned on one of the other avenues
it's not a street
it's not a road
it's just walking around down here
I left my pages on the blvd
the rue domain
it's not on pavement
it doesn't walk on the wood
we're just down here walking
how did you find me
no no, don't go
I generate my thought
you know my language
I may say things differently
I'll get to the point
I've had my circus
and the yellow dandelions in the meadow
I've been fishing on salt water
I've been out where you can sleep from cold
I've pushed the extremes
now I'm walking around down here

you just wait your turn
dancing in the perpendicular corner
and you're bending all the angles
the Saxons came upon me
asked me if I was Celt
the marauding bands of men
looking for adventure
while I'm dying on the vine
I got my head cut off
leaned it out too far
he said stick your neck out
do you want the glory
sparkling eyes said yes
now I'm dying on the vine
just give me a vineyard
hang myself there
never leave
all I wanted was the dream
I lived every day
now I just got the air
I'm grievous like granite
you better hit me hard
cause I'm a dead man now

it's not that I could have been
I am
no it's not what I could have been
it's what I am
standing on this earth
I gotta step to take
just remember the formula
just a little at a time
forget about the way it feels
you feel it in your eyes
looking at the earth
the place where I live
I'm going down to that place
I'm going to breath the air
I feel so light now
I am where I am
look you can see me
it's in-between the lines
I am the background
it's the bigger place
it's such a joy here
I will never go away

it was something else
you're looking at me
I'm looking at you
is it a match
grand was the connection
a static detour
got to keep on driving
I'll stop when it's dark
looking for equilibrium
it's a balancing act
I can walk that line
get out of my way
I'm driving the demon into your heart
the lethal injection
why go slow when it's fast
I'll see you next year
or maybe after that
kids and consciousness
I didn't get those things
I'm so happy to be here
I can't say that enough
I'm not talking to you
it's the ghost that I knew
dead dead instead
bed head led red wed
it's point-by-point
following the numbers
now that we're on the ground
watch the movement over there
get lost in my world
I manage to stay apart at the end of the line
are you out on the ledge
hello
seems I left it all behind
I jumped out of bed
threw my feet all over the floor
waved my arms all around
puppet on a string
the dance I did with you
yeah but what if I gave all I had that time
you've really got to like me
and get out of your world
she really got to me
I kind of want to get away
I don't think you'll be there too
but if I married you
except I want to keep my distance
I want to be the only man
I know and I see
you could be there still

I hope I can be
something you want to see
I know that I am
voices of the people coming by
birds in the trees
and I'll walk down that avenue
nothing to be having
not one little thing
the electricity emanation
so many volts of power
I stare at a bolt
capture some red yellow lines
and I feel it all through me
the glorious illumination
I don't think she's bespoken
throw all those images away
and come to me now
don't make me wait another day
while I'm in the heavens
contemplating universe
gods demons and humbleness
at your mercy sir
I bend my head down
I know you're my strength
I'm going to try my way
for you to see my ray
