Blue Arrangements

I see you gracefully swimming with the country club women In the Greenwood southside society pool I love your amethyst eyes and your protestant thighs You're a shimmering socialite jewel From the Carbon Dioxide Riding Academy To the children's crusade marching through the downtown Well, I think I'd die, see, if you just said hi to me When something breaks it makes a beautiful sound Sometimes I feel like I'm watching the world And the world isn't watching me back But when I see you, I'm in it too The waves come in and the waves go back And the kids in the corner all covered in dirt Caught trespassing under the moon My father came in from wherever he'd been And kicked my shit all over the room All over the room All over the room The room is dark and heavy with what I want to say I see murals in the radio static and on your blue blue jeans What would you say if I asked you to run away? It's been done so many times I hardly know what it means I took these blue arrangements and threw them in the sea When older waves from older caves brought them back to me I took these blue arrangements and stored them on a shelf With coins on the mantle and time in a candle, in the end a boy raises himself
