Pieces Of Place Lyrics - Jandek

What is this battle I must fight every night? 

What is this force eating up the air? 

While the day takes me and whirls me about 

Carries me on its shoulders 

And drags me on the ground 

Where's the ethereal enigma? 

Bliss and starry night 

Looking at me I only see 

The ceiling floor walls and the drive 

That keeps on through the doors and windows 

How can we leave this place and still live on? 

Come away, go hither 

See the molecules 

And the great big air all around 

Step in the water and your foot goes through 

Pick it up, and throw it around 

Might as well, it's got you surrounded 

I just keep walking through time 

One foot after the other 

Stepping on space 

One thought after another 

Made up of new things 

And things I knew before 

Or combinations of these 

And I know the ages 

Break a different shell 

And the new comes forth from the old 

And vice versa 

And I love and I live 

And I take and I give 

But mainly 

I just keep walking through time 

Stepping on pieces of place 

With my body and my mind 

Oh God they say they know where they're going 

I'm trying to be honest 

And I know it all leads to attempted perfection 

Am I falling short and knowing it? 

Or on the only track and going long? 

I wish I could say that I know more than I do
