Met my mother in a dream She was just a stranger on the street We averted eyes Time will vindicate us all some day Some, anyway Why is my face so wide? Cheek to cheek is almost chin to eye I'm in a bucket seat Anger is a car door I can't reach Don't close the door on me, I need the light to sleep Your shadow on the ceiling Toothpaste on my teeth, there's books but I can't read Lay back and count the strange men Mix toys from different sets, lick felt tips, get them wet The AFX is broken God damn that closet door, every night it's war Who will get there first? This is a waking dream Sometimes I greet my nightmares with relief So I walk with that first step One leg holds its own or else it dies Still, it tries Don't close the door on me, I need the light to sleep Your shadow on the ceiling Toothpaste on my teeth, there's books but I can't read Lay back and count the strange men Mix toys from different sets, lick felt tips, get them wet The AFX is broken God damn that closet door, every night it's war Who will get there first?
