Apollo 86
“ She Sits Across From Me
As We Recite Our Life Stories
Into Two Streams Of Drifting Smoke
Like Star Dust
Traveling Through Space
Always Stumbling
Always Falling
Up
Like It's All Fucked-Up
Twirling Together
Unifying As A Cyclone
Unicycling It's Way Around
All Fucked-Up
Maybe That's Why They Came Together
It's A Drunken Hook-Up
Maybe
It's A Sign
Damn, I Wish I Had My Magic Eight Ball
I Could Ask If It's A Sign
Then I Could Assign To Myself
Plans For My Future
But Instead I'm Havin' To Try To Figure Her Out
And She's So Damn Vacant
Or Maybe Just Well-Hidden
I Explore this Maybe-Vacancy Through Her Eyes
Using All My Fuel To Get Here
Cause Now That I'm Here
I Need It No Longer
So I Release The Tank
And In A Minute It's Gone
But Where Did It Go?
If There Was Nothing Else Out Here
I'd Still Be Able To See It,
Right?
So This MuthaFucka Ain't Vacant
And Now Parts Of Me
Are Hiding Behind Hidden Parts Of Her
Playing Team Hide-And-Go-Seek
Me Against Her
And Me
Now I Wanna Go Home
Cause Everybody's Gotta Go Back To Home Base Sometime
But I Can't
They Musta Put An Obstacle In My Way
So That They'd Get Back First
Then She And I would Have To Switch Partners
And I'd Have To Start All Over
Looking For Myself
With Someone Else.
Maybe After Time I'd Find Myself
With Someone Else
And I Would Win
But Would I Really Be Winning At All?
Cause The Other Part Of Me
Would Be Looking Just As I'd Been Looking
And So Would She
Be Looking
And We'd Always Be Traveling On Anti-Parallel Paths
On Roadway's, The Audobon Most Likely
Always Going Straight Ahead
Quickly
The Way We Should Go
Getting Further And Further Away From Each Other
And Getting Further And Further Away From Each Other
Man, I Don't Wanna Search My Whole Life
But Shit, I Don't Wanna Hide My Whole Life Either
Not Behind Any Woman
Not Behind Any Woman Who Is Hiding From Me
I Fall Out Of That Space Between Her Ears,
That Not-So-Vacant Space Behind Her Face,
In The Form Of A Tear
Although Maybe It Was Just A Damp Memory
Like One of Those Real Sad Rainy Days
With No Romantic Qualities At All
Cause I Mean
The Only Reason I Fell
Is Cause She Quit Making Room For Me
Kid, I Was Holdin On Like A MuthaFucka
If I'd Seen It Comin'
I Woulda Grabbed My Ropes
And Hooks
I Woulda Been Hookin All Over Tha Place
For Stability
Like All Her Friends Do
But Fuck It
I Fell
But Got A Present When I Hit
As Compensation
Cause I Hit Hard
My Present Was The Present
My Present Was Now
These Words I Write Are Presents
As These Words I Write Re present
Me
Now
Cause B4 When I Looked Into The Future
I saw A3 Written Backwards
I Was Lookin' Tha Wrong Way
My Future Was The Past Reflected
My Future was The Past Refracted
My Future Is The Present, Past Subtracted
And I know My Now Has No Worries
Cause My Tomorrow Reflected
Over My Yesterday
Gives Me A Much Clearer Screen
With Which To Watch My Now
And That Makes Me
Very
Fuckin'
Happy. ”
