Just before the afternoon creeps in Just before it gets too hot to be outside I like to lay on my back in the grass and watch the airplanes go by and I dream that you are an airplane shooting across the sky You are an airplane You’re a strong and dangerous machine When you fall you’ll fall down so fast When you crash I want to go down with you We’ll make such a horrible mess Just before the eyeball appears Just before the little birds go to sleep I like to stand on my head and pretend that I am a control tower and that you are an airplane and I can talk you safely to the ground The way you live your life makes me nervous If you were to die I’d have no reason to be alive cause you are my only friend

I’ve heard about inner light it makes the brown in your eyes look watery I felt something while talking to you, Gently intoxicating I felt the source of your inner light It’s such a struggle though I know I have to, I just can’t bring myself to touch it I need to feel the inner light I want to be the angel God sends to you To keep you on the right course although I Just don’t know if I believe in it It’s such a struggle though I know I have to I just can’t bring myself to touch it I need to feel the inner light.

Now a man loving a woman that’s a very Common thing common but beautiful all the same Still there’s something so neat something so Extraordinarily sweet with a man who’s in love With a man I have nothing to say about the traditional ways They’re fine if they work well for you But there is something so right so completely Out of sight With a man who’s in love with a man Or a woman who’s in love with a woman They should never feel ashamed because it’s So important to do the things we want with Whoever turns us on Now a man desiring a woman that’s a very Common thing common and really rather dull There is something so strange something so Wonderfully deranged in a man desiring a man Or a woman desiring a woman…. Men are usually fighting each other that’s Why I think it’s so special when a man and A man are in love It’s so good It’s so special Now a man kissing a woman is a very Common thing common but usually Quite nice still there is something so fine Something so beautifly devine In a man Kissing a man A man kissing a man

If I faltered slightly twice singling a double or Botching a landing if that was my routine it Was Torture I know that it’s not an understatement there Will be no wedding to you, I wont have Trouble understanding You’re the biggest lie of all I told to myself And now we’re being honest There was something in your bed while you Were sleeping there in your friend’s bed Not quite the person you were in love with I used to think I had somebody watching Over me

There’s an echo in my body echoes slide Down the roof You looked like heaven in bloom, I might now Look deep in those eyes Whose kindness moves my Texas to Oklahoma Drops of light on the bed roling off into a Puddle on the floor You unbuttoned your life And let me go My eyes are as brown as blueberries love Must put a mountain outside every window I was crying my eyes out everything I drank turned to cherry cola tears, iced tea tears I want to grab your words and fill them with Coffee there we lie like monkeys in our beds Burying each frown that gets born I’ll climb up under your nightgown we’ll try to Tickle a laugh out of the mattress I’ll use your boobs for a pillow
