In my last life upon this shore I slept my way to
Being pure at nothing, sure of nothing...
Next to nothing less than emptiness
In such a life I paid my dues by dancing in my
Sleeping shoes I made my messes by myself
And never swept the floor
I couldnâ²t or I'd disappear for sure
In my last life I prayed for more by gunning down
The candy store protected all my customers
With spider bites and kitten purrs weâ²d
Roll around in sacred grass until it grew with
Broken glass - a picket fence of flying ants,
Exotic and insane; it wasn't always happy
But it wasn't really pain until it
Rained so hard from the garden to the yard
On the pavement in the gutter
Like a wet leaf Iâ²d be smothered
It would pour like concrete
Onto my roof onto my street
It would rain so heavily that I would die
When I woke up I could live another life
In my last life I played the fool, it was the gift
I gave to you - let you believe that
Playing roles was actually something I chose
I let you have a front row seat, a cushion where
The mindless meet and you put up your
Stinking feet and laughed until I cried
I must have been convincing
â²Cause you seemed preoccupied until it
Rained so hard from the garden to the yard
On the pavement in the gutter
Like a wet leaf I'd be smothered
It would pour like concrete
Onto my roof onto my street
Poison puddles onto my feet
It would rain so heavily that I would die
When I woke up I could live another life
When I was warm and heaven-blessed I blew apart
My Sunday dress - it fell like mud onto the clouds
And deafened planet earth with sounds of
Sorrow and of holy bliss I learned that god is
Just a kiss, secret piece of outer space where
People can erase the face of
Love gone sour, loneliness and loss of power,
Lack of anger, fits of rage, write a book and
Burn the pages, build a house and knock it down
Play the victim or the clown; these two feet
Need never touch the ground again, I swear,
Iâ²m eternally awake and unaware
Rained so hard from the garden to the yard
It would rain so heavily that I would die
When I woke up I could live another life
Rained so hard...
