Grey Garden

Lyrics

Watch Me Go

The time dissipates,
-it's setting the stage-
The dream is out of hand, and starting to phase…
I feel the time once more has taken me on-
raise from the dirt with worms “the man from beyond”.
Straight from the, “out-of- it”, and starting to trip
I cry incessantly and bite through my lip-
“Where are you taking me? -This dream always ends.”
All of those distant calls? -The death of your friends!
Look at this life of mine, attacked from behind
I’ll scratch the depths of things that you'll never find.

The haunting hours,
the memories, goodbyes-
-The tearful showers bleeding thorns from my eyes-
Yes, all of this -and a nightmare too!
My special gift? -To know that it's all true!
Like blades of tin, the space-time divide…
I'm dreaming lifeless as it cuts through my spine-
Paralysis distorts the memory of you,
as painted walls form a stone white tomb.

Speaking all of this,
-I know you won't understand-
So dole'ly tell my story to the sound of a band…
Just more trickery, to feel that I’m not alone-
The Abbott's me, and the rest are clones;
Just ghost's on tracks, bleeding,
- ready to give-
to play at night and let the phantom live…

Let this be it,
-let me be no more-
Let memories fade, let me fall through the floor-
Through space and time,
-it's no longer mine-
no mortal line, no solemn tears, no more rhyme-
I’m fading fast, watching this summer pass…
To brave the ocean, grey and freezing at last.

Jump--jump---jump...
