"searching for a prayer... with my good eye closed"

that's an extremely kickass Soundgarden song.


but this is what's playing in my head right now...

And so we meet and there are sparks
Its gold it's new and free from sharks
Your house is big it seems so clean
Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet

Are you lightning?
Cause I'm waiting
What's the timing?
I'm not playing

And so I act like I'm 21
Wide eyed and drifting into sun
Payback is here my legs are numb
I'm back, it's square one, feeling dumb

The sweet things,
When do they come?
Have I gone deaf?
What's the song?

I see you in my sheets,
I see you in my sleep,
I see you through the mirror
I sing "we're not to steal..."

The only thing I'm scared of is the secret that you keep,
I know where you are... then I dunno where you are
Don't make the other wonder if the others might sting
Tell me what you're thinking,
Do not let me twist

I see you in my sheets,
I see you in my sleep,
I see you with something so funny
I hear you I almost weep

I see you from my steps,
you're walking up my street,
But just look at the size of you...

The sun shines on and on...
The sun shines on and on...
But just look at the size of you...
