Kära Gud, ge mig en själ...

Soft Errors

Word for word I think of things to say
As I drift along throughout my day
I think of you when you are away
I can't love you anymore this way

Slowly as I drift off into space
I look down as you're smiling back at me
I just got lost in my mind again
I can't love you anymore then...

Across the ocean, across the sea (You're never here but in my dreams)
I'd sing a song, but I can't speak (Word for word please tell me)
Now I know this can't be right (I'll never know if you don't tell)
I think that this, this could be love

We walked along the beach of Normandy
Met a mermaid swimming in the sea
Stuck between our toes are grains of sand
I just dreamt this up inside my head

The water was so wet we could not wait
We grew fins and gills and swam away
To the bottom of the ocean where we'll stay
I can't love you anymore then...

Across the ocean, across the sea (Come back my love / Reach out your heart)
I'd sing a song, but I can't speak (Word for word please tell me how)
Now I know that I might be living in a fantasy but
I think that this, this could be love (Reach out your heart/arms)

Permutations

I can't explain it, can't equate it
There is no word for what I'm feeling
I tried to paint it, but it came out a blur
I instigated the actions taken
I bled some ink on notes and paper
You wrote it down once or twice on my arm

Do do do...

Aggravated, self-debating, mindless talk about wrong equations
Collecting socks and shoes to amuse and confuse our friends
You told me once, but I never listen
You told me twice, but I keep forgetting
I'll write it down on a neuron in my head

Do do do...

[bass solo]

I can't explain it, can't equate it
There is no word for what I'm feeling
I tried to paint it, but it came out a blur

Do do do...

Hey!!!

Hey!!!

Like Nothing Ever Happened

Sometimes werewolves take me away
To the dark forest where the bears eat bad children
My mother yells as I freeze
Father kills bear, wolves let me be

We ran up to the attic, played with all the matches,
Burning my pet ants while listening to static

Broke the ceiling fan while jumping on the mattress
I look at you and pretend like nothing ever happened

Drank a cherry coke while playing with their ashes
Fight off the vampires, hide under the mattress

You kissed me in the dark to break the awkward silence
I look at you and pretend like nothing ever happened

Oh it's good to be one of us
Oh it's good to be young and dumb
Oh it's good to be one of us

We ran into the river
Mother took Polaroid picture
Affixed it to the refrigerator
So all our aunts/ants can see how much we have grown
