I watched your face age backwards
Little baby in my memory
Gives me parachute dreams like old war movies
Atone, I will atone
And there’s no worries, oh Lord, whose got time

You’ve been a father to me in 1960’s, speak
And I never felt more natural
Wait, wait, wait, mighty outer space

And you don’t judge me, that’s not your style
Please, please, please, sister Socrates
Tiny diamonds in my memory
Make me honest, make me a wedding cake
Give me comatose joy like we’re on TV
You always answer with a question
I watched your face die backwards
It’s been a nightmare for me, some 1980’s grief

Show some kindness to a petty thief
While the universe was drawn perfect circles form infinity
While the waterfall was pouring crazy symbols of my destiny
You’ve been a daughter to me, your buried shoe box grief
You told me victory's sweet
Apart, I just came apart
You taught me victory’s sweet

Hey, hey, hey, mother interstate

Forgive, you did forgive
While the mountain’s side was shining wild colors of my destiny

Like the Freon cold out the hotel door
I felt your poltergeist love like Savannah heat
All that flying saucer terror
Can you deliver me from evil

Are these changes gonna fill your mind
And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
Or the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral

But I won’t see you for a little while
Even deep in the cheap seats
Or the white rocket fade over Cape Canaveral
Changing shape in my memory
And watched the migrants smoke in the old orange grove
I know that victory's sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats
Made me lazy drinking lemonade
I watched the stars get smaller
Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove

Even deep in the cheap seats
A waste, it just went to waste
