Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
+
Moonlight spills on comic books
+
And superstars in magazines
+
An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
+
Her plane takes off from Baltimore
+
And touches down on Bourbon street
+
We sit outside and argue all night long
+
About a god we've never seen
+
But never fails to side with me
+
Sunday comes and all the papers say
+
Ma Teresa's joined the mob
+
And happy with her full time job
+
Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
+
Does summer come for everyone?
+
Can humans do what prophets say?
+
If I die before I learn to speak
+
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
+
But half asleep?
+
A life is time, they teach you growing up
+
The seconds ticking killed us all
+
A million years before the fall
+
You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
+
You swim like lions through the crest
+
And bathe yourself in zebra flesh
+
I've been downhearted baby
+
Ever since the day we met
+
