Well if I ever see the morning
Just like a lizard in the Spring
I'm gonna run out in the meadow
To catch the silence where it sings.
I'm gonna force the Serengeti
To disappear into my eyes
And when I hear your voices calling
I'm gonna turn just inside out.
Well if I ever get to slumber
Just like a mole deep in the ground
Hell, I won't be found.
Deep in the dust forgot and gathered
I'll grow a diamond in my chest.
I make reflections as the moon shine
Turn to a villain as I rest.
Well if I ever get to slumber
Just like a mole deep in the ground
Hell, I won't be found.
I know there is a hollow
I need to fill it with a draft
Of all the words that I won't say.
And with a quiet whisper
I send a curse upon the day
That never used the Sun to see
The light.
I'm gonna float up in the ceiling
I built a levee of the stars
And in my field of tired horses
I built a freeway through this farce.
Well if I ever get that slumber
I'll be that mole deep in the ground
And I won't be found.
