LOOM

- you always got those dark sunglasses
- covering half your face
- but if you promise to take them off
- i promise i won't squander your gaze
- i will be picturesque
- i will be nice
- i won't do anything
- you can't tell your wife
- i will think before i act
- i will think twice
- just let me see your eyes
- each time we've spoken
- we've put in our token
- and ridden the tilt-a-whirl
- the carnival of you and me
- is coming to town
- watch how we spin and spin
- and then fall down
- now we just say hello
- and head for firmer ground
- you are the one-way glass
- that watches me
- standing in like at the bank
- i always look into your glasses
- like a cat looks into a fish tank
- but all i could ever see
- was the specter of me reflected
- i want a monument of the friendship
- that we never had, erected
- i wan it to take up lots of room
- i want it to loom
- you always got those dark sunglasses
- between us when we talk
- but after the party is over
- if you wanna take a walk
- we could just look around
- not do nothing wrong
- just try to be at least as brave as our songs
- i will bring my heart
- i will bring my face
- you name the time and place
