It was August. Summer of '82.
You had that rusty old car
And me I had nothing better to do.
You picked me up. We hit the road. Baby me and you.

We shot out of town drivin' fast and hard.
Leaving our greasy skid marks in people's back yards.
We were goin' nowhere. Just driving around.
We were goin' in circles. And me I was just hanging on.

Like in that Annie Dillard book
Where she sees that eagle with the skull of a weasel
Hanging from its neck
And here's how it happened, listen.
Eagle bites the weasel. Weasel bites back.
They fly up to nowhere. Weasel keeps hangin' on.
Together forever.

We were goin' nowhere. Just driving around.
You did all the talking and me I didn't make a sound
If I open my mouth now I'll fall to the ground

If I could open my mouth. There's so much I would say.
Like I can never be honest. Like I'm in it for the thrill.
Like I never loved anyone. And I never will.

Eagle bites the weasel. Weasel bites back.
They fly up to nowhere. Weasel keeps hangin' on.
Together forever.

I remember that old coat my grandma used to wear
Made of weasels biting each other's tails
A vicious circle. An endless ride.
On the back of an old woman.

Eagle bites the weasel. Weasel bites back.
They fly up to nowhere. Weasel keeps hangin' on.
Together forever.
And me? I'm goin' in circles. I'm circling around.
And if I open my mouth now I'll fall to the ground.

    "Let's see. Uh, it was on an island. And there was this snake. And the snake had legs. And he could walk all around the island. Yes. That's true. A snake with legs. And the man and the woman were on the island too. And they were not very smart. But they were happy as clams. Yes. Let's see. Uh...then one evening the snake was walking about in the garden and he was talking to himself and he saw the woman and they started to talk. And they became friends. Very good friends. And the woman liked the snake very much. Because when he talked, he make little noises with his tongue, and his long tongue was lightly licking about his lips. Like there was a fire inside his mouth and the flame would come dancing out of his mouth. And this woman liked this very much. And after that, she was bored with the man. Because no matter what happened, he was always as happy as a clam. What did the snake say? Yes! What was he saying? OK. I will tell you. The snake told her things about the world. He told her about the time there was a..."

    "Flying Birds. Excellent Birds. Watch them fly. There they go. Falling snow. Excellent snow. Here it comes. Watch it fall. Long words. Excellent words. UI can hear them now. This is the picture. I'm sitting by the window. Watching the snow fall. I'm looking out. And I'm moving. Turning in time. Jump up! And I can land on my feet. Look out! This is the picture. This is the picture. This is the picture. This is the picture. Looking out. I'm watching now. But when I see the future, I close my eyes. I can see it now. I see pictures of people rising up. I see pictures of people falling down. I see pictures of people, they're standing on their heads. They're ready! I see pictures of people rising up. I see pictures of people falling down. I see pictures of people, they're standing on their heads. They're ready! They're looking out. Look out! They're watching out. Watch out! They're looking out. Look out! They're watching out. Watching watching out. I see pictures of people. I see pictures of people. They're watching
    . They're watching out. Watch out. I see pictures of people. They're watching. They're watching out. I see pictures of people. Watching. Watch out. They're watching. I see pictures of people. Watching out. Watch out. Pictures of people. They're watching out.

    "I got your letter. Thanks a lot. I've been getting lots of sun. And lots of rest. It's really hot. Days, I dive by the wreck. Nights, I swim in the blue lagoon. Always used to wonder who I'd bring to a desert island. Days, I remember cities. Nights, I dream about a perfect place. Days, I dive by the wreck. Nights, I swim in the blue lagoon. Full fathom five thy father lies. Of his bones are coral made. Those are pearls that were his eyes. Nothing of him that doth fade. But that suffers a sea change. Into something rich and strange. And I alone am left to tell the tale. Call me Ishmael. I got your letter. Thanks a lot. I've been getting lots of sun. And lots of rest. It's really hot. Always used to wonder who I'd bring to a desert island. Days, I remember rooms. Nights, I swim in the blue lagoon. I saw a plane today. Flying low over the island. But my mind was somewhere else. And if you ever get this letter. Thinking of you. Love and kisses. Blue Pacific. Signing off.

    "Sun's going down. Like a big bald head.
    And there's one in each of you eyes. And they're doin' everything I do.
    Every time I light a cigarette, they light up theirs.
    I take a drink and I look in and they're drinkin' too...."
  • Bright Red
    "Did she fall or was she pushed? Your shirt on my chair Your shirt on my chair I'll be with you. I'll be there. I'll never leave you Your shirt on my chair. Come here little girl. Get into the car. It's a brand new Cadillac. Bright red. Your words in my ears. I'll be with you. I'll be there. I'll never leave you. Wild beasts shall rest there And owls shall answer one another there And the hairy ones shall dance there And sirens in the temples of pleasure. Your shirt on my chair. I'll be with you. I'll be there. I'll never leave you. Your shirt on my chair.
