Painted Eyelids

I wake up and look Upon your painted eyelids The world is your oyster And the trashbags are your kids The ceiling is invisible There's a bird sinkin' through the sky And every hour that passes Is teaching me how to cry 'Cause it's lonely here In the ugly part of town The buildings are all vacant And the telephones are down There's a police siren singin' Like a tiger with no skin The sewer drain is glowing And I don't know what state I'm in The river is on fire There's chemicals and debris And all the roads are blocked off 'Cause it's just too hard to see So cancel my appointments And set up a whole new show 'Cause I'm in need of a good hot meal And a life to call my own So give me a plate of money Get me a blanket and a chair Your limitations are limitless They're floating through the air Beause it's real and it's true The things I see in you And there's nothing I wouldn't talk about You're the clearest dream that ever drifted by
