look at me now i'm a starman
into the sky with a barman
look at me now i'm a starman into the sky
look at this place it's a verse with
so many places to go
and each one is filled to the brim with so many things
i'm still here writing grand gestures to you in my head
i'm still here writing grand gestures to you
hearing me sing it's a racket
just do something with your time you
know noone else will ever do it for you
move on in place in illusion
something to say some confusion
nothing to hide you can feel your back on their eyes
i'm still here writing grand gestures to you in my head
i'm still here writing grand gestures to you
i'm still here writing grand gestures to you in my head
i'm still here writing grand gestures to you
lifted up the sky to see that you are what nobody else could be
where you are
lifting up the sky you'll see that you are what nobody else could be
simplistic pleasures, i saw the wall
walk, off, my, dear, i, can, not, hear
lay down on my floor
you don't really draw me
lay down on my floor
(where you are, where you are)
you don't really draw me
(where you are, where you are)
(draw me draw me)
i am moving over
i want you to know my name
i'm over easy not afraid
of empty hands or holding back
in situ tune arresting lack
adoring world in rising star
fall back and need a lower bar
in lack of place and knowing names
in turn they know he doesn't say
where are you count me too who are you count me too what is this count me in feel remiss yes i do
in belief she loses sight but turns around avoids the fright of ghastly yearning hoping too and mediocre tv tunes
want a go i don't know is that so i don't know want to play i can't say feeling grey that i'll say what to do turn to blue do you know i'll have a go see that's right i'm feeling fine you're taking flight i feel just fine
i want you to know my name i'm over easy not afraid of empty hands or holding back in situ tune arresting lack adoring world in rising star fall back and need a lower bar in lack of place and knowing names in turn they know he doesn't say in belief she loses sight but turns around avoids the fright of ghastly yearning hoping too and mediocre tv tune
we will go across the town and then we'll be in nottingham
cross the skies and blueish seas and then we'll be in ulysses
every now and then we'll fall and then we'll call and then we'll go
up and over like they say down make believe route motorway
so i won't see you i'll know how to be true in the end
go i don't need you to show why won't we do in the end of this one
bing bong
so why won't we do? i'll know how to beat you in the end
so hard to see through the words bouncing over and opening my head
it's enough to be in dreams
nothing else is ever as it seems
write it down before you go
in an hour you will barely know
know yourself and it will be
push a finger through your hand to see
waking up inside a dream
spin in circles to avoid awaking, i'm baking
in bedsheets and summer heat
i'm afraid of what i'll do
if i see you i'll be sure to act right
unpredictability
never really sure of what it makes me
i'm aching to be you
if you really love me let me know and i will know your name
you will do the same
if you wanna show me just go on and i will not complain
you will do the same
when i look at you i see him in my eyes my dear double reflection flesh and glass
silly people sleep in let them be there's time for all to see
time to disagree
thunder lightning what a show it's so frightening to look at you
and see him in your eyes my dear
a double reflection
flesh and glass
still i look to you
and notice in my eyes and ears
somebody saying
shades of black
this is how you make me feel
celeste
in two
this is how you make me feel
celeste
where are you
i'm not surprised
by this
i'm not surprised
by this, or this
this is what we did last week
celeste
move on
this is how we feel now
celeste
she's gone
move on
moving on
it all remains
remote and cold
you talk to me
i'm still afraid
there's empathy
in what you say
i talk to see
years have passed you know my name i tend to ask were we the same
you're still moving over me
as i attempt to reconcile the past
faces looming over me
as i remember to resolve my past
cycle out
instil a frame
say the words
absolve the blame
cut them down
to make a point
move your hands
distill the point
words are bouncing over me
as i intend to focus on the past
singular in entity
the group dynamic can't escape the past
i resolve to make a point
it's clear to me we're living in the past
you explain we'll both be free
submerge yourself in living in the past
instil a frame
lived in two houses lived in two houses
i know how it seems
falling down
i know what it means
working out
i know how it seems
falling down
i'll say what it means
working out
i'm walking home i'm walking home to home
the seeds you've sewn aren't growing
empassing you on the end
your feeble form is throwing
words around like a tender look at me
i'll be a passing light to you i'm nothing more
the place you saw was sacred
the people there are naked
holding hands and simply
letting on discreetly til' you see
the night is passing by but when will it arise
by and by I'm floating by oh my i think i see the peak of it
spin in two and never far i'm sorry
hither to and oh so on the floor
run away baby
run away sweet
bitter order makes a stand to see
fit to broader shoulders don't believe
it's true
run away baby
run away sweet
run away you're not me
run away i'm beat
so we content rely on sleep
an opening too small to see
his final work, surprisingly
a game of chess suffice to see
it's okay i know
you'll be okay i know
just look through and you'll find
in this wonderland of mine
wrote a book to explain
how to set it up again
and i hope you see
what it meant to me
and i hope you see
what i want it to be
i'll be gone
readymades
the nineteen thirty eight surrealist convention
the large glass and bicycle wheel
first papers
the waterfall and the illuminating gas
tiny versions of his works in a little brief case
the final problem, white moves first
pt1
i've fallen asleep at the wheel
i've fallen asleep on the job
i've fallen asleep in the middle
i've fallen asleep on the floor
i'm going to see what is real
i'm going to see what is not
i'm going to see how i feel
i'm going to see it a lot
if i could see, if i could know where could i be
pt2
i won't ask you again
i will ask you to repeat the question
i won't motion and then
turn around and pretend to miss you
sideways i come down to see the play
pt3
if baby was my name
throw my bottle on the floor
look for answers in their faces
just cry and ask for more
if baby was my name
i would read up on the facts
and i'd tell them all i learned
but they never listen
they will never listen
until you're listening
and at that point it's all far too late
they will never hear you
they will never listen
to what you said
they will never listen
until you're dead
they will never listen
until you're dead
so stop asking questions
that we don't know
just stop asking questions
until you know
please stop asking questions
you're making us feel slow
we'll take off the helping wheels
and let you go
