Blue Arrangements

I see you gracefully swimming with the country club women
 In the Greenwood southside society pool
 I love your amethyst eyes and your protestant thighs
 You're a shimmering socialite jewel
 From the Carbon Dioxide Riding Academy
 To the children's crusade marching through the downtown
 Well, I think I'd die, see, if you just said hi to me
 When something breaks it makes a beautiful sound
 Sometimes I feel like I'm watching the world
 And the world isn't watching me back
 But when I see you, I'm in it too
 The waves come in and the waves go back
 And the kids in the corner all covered in dirt
 Caught trespassing under the moon
 My father came in from wherever he'd been
 And kicked my shit all over the room
 All over the room
 All over the room
 The room is dark and heavy with what I want to say
 I see murals in the radio static and on your blue blue jeans
 What would you say if I asked you to run away?
 It's been done so many times I hardly know what it means
 I took these blue arrangements and threw them in the sea
 When older waves from older caves brought them back to me
 I took these blue arrangements and stored them on a shelf
 With coins on the mantle and time in a candle, in the end a boy raises himself
