Lyrics

I've tried beer, and I've tried poison I sleep standing up--it's all for you Brand-new static on the same old station New rotation for the same old tune I look at you through a hole in a leaf From your eyes--green, wide--to the tops of your feet And I take it, and I put it in my pocket Now I got you, got you I woke up tonight, some long blue murder And I've thrown days away--it's all for you I want a box of paper dolls for Christmas Pick the prettiest, pretend it's you Draw your face in the sand on the beach With two seashell eyes, broken sand-dollar teeth It's a picnic and a nightmare loving someone But I got you, got you Candles light the scene of my closet shrine Play-Doh figurines in a plane where you are mine I don't pray for much--that's what I'm getting Talking at the moon, a face like you Every pill I take wears some resemblance Takes me to a place where dreams are true I swallow you with a smile on my face Then I hold you warm in a summer place
