the curtain's a sea anemone / in the way it sways / to the slow breeze / I lie spread out on the floor / looking at these things / and most of them are yours / and it's so nice / sitting very still / without those old shoes / I could never fill / starfish with its arms out in a daze / staring at the stars / through an ocean haze / was I one you wished upon? / burned out like a lightbulb / when you turned me on / and it's so nice / sleeping here all alone / with my ashtray and / white courtesy telephone / now I'm making out the shapes / like the shower rod - can it take my weight? / I will tell you I am fine / I got some news, friend, feels like I'm dying / turtle on its back in the desert sea / and you look like a cool drink / just slightly out of reach / draw myself into the shell / waiting on a sign from god / or a nod from hell / and it's so nice / sitting very still / without those old shoes / I could never fill / no we're turning on the lights / it's the first day of my second life / take my name off of the lease / you can even keep the name it never suited me
