Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep / Moonlight spills on comic books / And superstars in magazines / An old friend calls and tells us where to meet / Her plane takes off from Baltimore / And touches down on Bourbon Street

We sit outside and argue all night long / About a god we've never seen / But never fails to side with me / Sunday comes and all the papers say / Ma Teresa's joined the mob / And happy with her full time job

Am I alive or thoughts that drift away? / Does summer come for everyone? / Can humans do as prophets say? / And if I die before I learn to speak / Can money pay for all the days I lived awake / But half asleep?

A life is time, they teach us growing up / The seconds ticking killed us all / A million years before the fall / You ride the waves and don't ask where they go / You swim like lions through the crest / And bathe yourself on zebra flesh
