hey jana!! you were so worth waiting for
& these birth pangs aren’t gonna last all night
hidden among these toy guns
somewhere there’s a real one
& it’s not gonna stay abandoned anymore

hey jana your body double’s in my heart place
her face is always morphing closer to yours
sunlight moonlight bright sun dark moon
sunlight moonlight dark sun bright moon

now i can’t remember which one’s you & which one’s me
wouldn’t it be so much easier if we were one person
(idon’twannaknowyeah idon’twannaknowyet idon’twannaknowyeah idon’twannaknowyet)
now our little Hook's pulling whales out from the great sea
call me if you figure out where our rivers meet the ocean

i don’t wanna be a u-turn on the way to mark’s house
i think that this could last a long time
i’m not gonna be this silent forever
i’m not gonna be that bull-like forever
i don’t want for you to be a stone for me to step on along the way
i want for us to go together
i want for us to grow together
i want for us to glow together

i have no voice to speak with
(i)
i have no ears to hear your words
just bark torn from its plant
(they drank from the black stream)
(rootless and aching)
(rootless and free)

but don’t get me wrong
i can still hear
the children’s song
echo in your hair

behind a wall
of muddy feathered steel
we will see you win
won’t quit till you heal

who are all these
humans in the way?
will it be long
before they go away?

trying to let dinosaurs
out of their pen
but the dragon’s become
a turtle once again

if my sails give way to the wind
& if it blows me back inland
i’ll carry my kayak to the shore
to sail in your waters again
stegosaurus, your bony neck’s a pterodactyl landing

hey jana, you’re woven into places we grew up
you could spend lifetimes hunting all the hidden treasures here
don’t fall backwards dont fall back don’t step backwards now don’t step back
now don’t look back now don’t look back don’t fall backwards don’t fall back
same bass, followed by guitar: now the tempo increases
your director's eye is radiating godlibido straws
your scorpion serpent's spitting haphazard designs of death
why don't you & you & you & i go opening some doors together?

hey jana it’s always been you
all of my short little life it’s always been you
red karma from the study of the evolving language of your mythosis
has our house daimon teleporting all these dinosaur babies into my dreams
cuz a body is language
& a language is a body
& i want to learn both of yours
yeah!!!
& hidden among these toy guns
somewhere there’s a real one
hidden among these toy guns
somewhere there’s a real one
& it’s not gonna be abandoned
anymore

how many lives have i known you?
or is this my only chance to fall to earth with you?
i try to love the dirt, if only for that
but this is a dead world on holy fire
