When I Dream Of Michelangelo

Well you know I don't like you but you wanna be my friend
Well, there are bodies on the ceiling and they're fluttering their wings
It's ok I'm angry
But you'll never understand
When you dream of Michelangelo
They hang above your hands

And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again

And I can't why you'd want to talk to me
When your vision of America is crystalline and clean
I want a white bread life
Just something ignorant and plain,
But from the walls of Michelangelo I'm dangling again

And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again and again

Saturn on a line
A sun afire on strings and wires
To spin above my head and make it right
But any time you like
You can catch a sight of angel eyes all emptiness and infinite

And I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed
I see god upon the ceiling I see angels overhead
And he seems so close as he reaches out his hand
But we are never quite as close as we are led to understand

And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again and again

Holiday In Spain

Got no place to go
but there's a girl waiting for me down in Mexico
She's got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin
And if I bring a little music I can fit right in
We've got airplane rides
We got California drowning out the window side
We've got big black cars
And we've got stories how we slept with all the movie stars
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drink my worries down the drain
And fly away to somewhere new
Hop on my choo-choo
I'll be your engine driver in a bunny suit
If you dress me up in pink and white
We may be just a little fuzzy 'bout it later tonight
She's my angel
She's a little better than the one that used to be with me
Cause she liked to scream at me
Man, it's a miracle that she's not living up in a tree
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane
And fly away to someone new
Everybody's gone
They left the television screaming that the radio's on
Someone stole my shoes
But there's a couple of bananas and a bottle of booze
Oh, well happy new year's baby
We could probably fix it if we clean it up all day
Or we could simply pack our bags
And catch a plane to Barcelona 'cause this city's a drag
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Flush my worries down the drain
And fly away to somewhere new
Take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane
Fly away to someone new
Fly away to someone new
Fly away to someone new

Good Time

The gentle man caller in the blue suede shoes
He don't know what to do
he just wants to look good for you
So he rushes in to tell you what he did today
but he can't think of what to say
I think you'll listen anyway.
He wants to have a good time
just like everybody else
He doesn't want to fall apart
You watch him as he stutters over what to say
It's just a little game you play
it's no easier for you some days
You wish you could tell him it'll be ok
but you feel a little shy these days
cause everybody goes away
Oh...
You just wanna have a good time
Just like everybody else
You don't want to fall apart this time
I can't look into your eyes and see the mess we're in
darling if it's shit came out
Then I suppose that it's shit went in
Even though I couldn't say I've been the places that you've been
You know you made my heart real strong
even if you made my head real thin
I wanna have a good time
just like everybody
I don't wanna fall apart
oh..
I wanna have a good time
just like everybody
And I don't wanna fall apart this time
so would you please invite me in
ohhhhhhh....
I really love the red haired girls
I'm just another boy from Texas
C'mon and take a spin
oh, I got a brand new set of wings
oh,
I really really love the red haired girls
I'm just another boy from texas
C'mon and take a spin
hey
I gotta brand new set of wings
Man I sure do love them red haired girls
Im just like all the boys from texas
come on take a spin
hey little girl I got a brand new set of wings

Insignificant

Can you see me up on a building
From down on the pavement
Or out in the crowd?

Can you see me
In the glare of the lamp post?
'Cause I am walking a tightrope
Into the moon

Chorus:
I don't want
Feel so different
But I don't want
To be insignificant
And I don't how to see
The same things different now

Oh, can you see me?
I am one in a million
Yeah, I'm Icarus falling
Out of the sun
She sees me falling
A line of spotlights
And chalk lines
Through night black
As a bedroom
And white as a lie

Chorus

Diving through the dark
While the night turns blue
And you wear your intentions
As I wear my intentions
So clear

If you see me, wading through water
Or come drowning a river
Right in front of the world

Hey, if you crash ? my anger
'Cause it's as bright as white paper
But it's as dark as a girl

Chorus 2x

When I Dream Of Michelangelo

Well you know I don't like you but you wanna be my friend
Well, there are bodies on the ceiling and they're fluttering their wings
It's ok I'm angry
But you'll never understand

And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again

And I can't why you'd want to talk to me
When your vision of America is crystalline and clean
I want a white bread life
Just something ignorant and plain,
But from the walls of Michelangelo I'm dangling again

And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again and again

Saturn on a line
