Two Places At Once
Arrived in hive city somewhere in the east
Walking down this crowded street as though I am, will be released
Elly stopped yawning, clear blue morning, in mourning no more
Come and see wild things just beyond the door
But there's an old man here
He claims that he knew you in another life
Well I'm not sure what he's sayin' Elly
Could it be he still thinks you're his wife?
I've been waiting, seems like eternity
I've been waiting, waiting for you
I'm still waiting if you remember me
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Trinkets sing on a desert wind behind him
Where ghosts have laid their final claim to rest
But who they loved and what they thought they came for
Has crumbled in their last dusty caress
They were so blind
They were so blind
Hiding in a hotel room somewhere in the west
I heard they brought a priest in to sanctify this place, but it remains unblessed
And the things move around
My bass guitar sometimes plays itself
They say, "Aw, relax, it's static electricity"
Yesterday it took twenty dollars off the shelf
Well there's a young man here, he said he married you in another time
The children cry and ask where their mother is
You're gonna have to let them down
'Cause I've been hurt
I've been around
I've been waiting, seems like eternity
I've been waiting, waiting for you
I'm still waiting if you remember me
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Limpet shells are fading in the valley
Where once the sea had strength enough to reach
And out of twisted metal of discarded fortune's curse
No one here can quite translate the verses that they wanted to preach
They were blind
They were so blind
They were so blind
They were so blind
I've been waiting, seems like eternity
I've been waiting, waiting for you
They were so blind
I'm still waiting if you remember me
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
