Nose for a Mountain

My mother's sleeping

I touch her face

The nose is a mountain

The mouth is a lake

Then she awakes

A friend's on the phone

I ask who God is

But she doesn't know

I ask who the boss is

She says, "Me"

And like the deer in the movie

Although I'm grown

I know that someday

I'll be alone

I put some cash on the table

Bought me some time

Haven't been to the mountains

In quite for a while

Still, I'm walking the streets

Still, I'm walking the streets

Without touching the lines

Without touching the lines

Time is a thread, and yours is

Attached to mine

Went out to the movies

They jump in time

It's the place where the dead

Come back to life

Then I awake

A friend's on the phone

I ask who God is

I ask who God is

But she doesn't know

She doesn't know

You've got the spleen

You've got the spleen

And I've got the drive

And I've got the drive

You've got the spleen

I got the drive

And like the deer in the movie

Although I'm grown

I know that someday

I know that someday

I'll be alone
