First I went to hell. Then I went to heaven. Can I catch you on your way to hell. Take the life that's coming out of you. And when it's heaven. I can't go with you when you die.
Cold dark and lonely I look round for my shoes [4x]. I put them on. I went for a walk. In the snow and ice. So cold.
I was a king. When I was twelve. You couldn't touch me. No, no, no, no. I kept you away. I didn't think about it. It wasn't important. I was made. Get out of my way.
I want to look in. I don't want to look out. Because if it's out there. There's the place to be. Think about the adjectives. Describe the way it is. It's not uncommon.
[Jandek] I want to know why. [Jandek] Tell me why, tell me why. [Jandek] I, tell me why. [Jandek] Why, he wants to know why. [Jandek] I'll tell you why.
I threw you away. So I could play. I wanted the other side. What I didn't know. I was walking so fast. Now walking slow. Around (I ran?) to the butcher.
I talked to you today. It was so nice. You laughed, sounded happy, in a surprised way. You got me excited. Oh, I'm very, very excited. I'm thinkin' about you.
I stopped the world. And I stepped out of it. I cut a clean path. I stepped out of it. I've gone and stepped out of everything. Everyone in this room.
I don't know anything. Not where I've been. Not where I was gone. What did I think of. When I stared and not moving. For hours on end. Now I know where I have been.
I want to go back. To that lost place. Waiting, waiting, waiting. For that lost place. I see the open door. Just step in. Close it back. But wait, wait, wait.
I passed by the building you were working in. I wanted to step inside it. I wanted to lie in your arms again. I passed by the building that you live in.
Come back to me babe. I never left you anyway. You had your way. Now I say. Come back to me babe [3x]. Never be so silly you. Want me to take hold of you.
I been through your nursery rhyme. I been through your nursery rhyme. I took all your nickels and dimes. But you left me cold. You wouldn't let me hold.
Oh she looks so good. I've got her real good in my mind. I've told her a thousand times. God knows she understands. Every day she marches into my eyes.
I got at least one more thing to say. I'll make you the first choice. And then we'll see what happens. I'm gonna give it all that it needs [3x]. It doesn't need water.
Da da da da da da. Da da da da da da. Fire in the hole (?). ???. ???. Count me once. Count me twice. You better not count me three times. You better just wait and see.
You saw what happened at the Tower of Babel. They couldn't even talk to each other. Shake my hand tightly. Hold me dear. I love you it's true. Oh Jesus, this is your day.
Can't come around the way you do. Say that you're somebody new. I knew you from before. That's the way you are once more. Can't come 'round here. Say you're somebody new.
I know that the time. We spent together. Weren't always meant to be. Oh the voices outside that we heard so clearly. Weren't meant for us to hear. So it's true I was with you.
