Painted Eyelids Lyrics

I wake up
And look upon your painted eyelids
The world is your oyster
And the trash bags are your kids
The ceiling is invisible
There's a bird sinkin' through the sky
And every hour that passes
Is teaching me how to cry
'cause it's lonely here
In the ugly part of town

The buildings are all vacant
And the telephones are down
There's a police station singin'
Like a tiger with no skin
The sewer drain is flowing
And I don't know what state i'm in
And the river is on fire
There's chemicals and debris
And all the roads are blocked off
They're just to hard to see
So cancel my appointments
And set up a whole new show
'cause i'm in need of a good hot meal
And a life to call my own
So get me a plate of money and get a blanket chair
The limitations are limitless
They're floating through the air
'cause it's real and it's true
The things I see in you
And there's nothing I wouldn't talk about
With the clearest dream that ever drifted by
