At a walk, on the run in the air, never done she is floating with the crowd just like a cloud of floating black like her hair, it's almost real like her face, almost ideal but it's the things that don't add up that don't make sense that bring you back and I keep coming back like another day like I only want to stay with Martha Beautiful she is flying high I will testify to the only reason why - she's Martha Beautiful Martha Beautiful people look, friends will stare let 'em go, I don't care I have fallen into place into a place where they're not there only her, like the moon her faces change, like the tune while she keeps the tides awake for heaven's sake she's everywhere and I keep coming round like another sun and I know I've just begun with Martha Beautiful she is oxygen and she's carbon, too and she's always something new, she's Martha Beautiful Martha Beautiful I can't believe what I just saw she is not without her flaws but after all that's what makes her... I keep coming home like I know you're there and I only want to be where Martha's beautiful as the years go by as they're wont to do the only thing that's true you'll be more beautiful Martha Beautiful Martha Beautiful

the stars winking out they'll say they know what it's all about without a doubt there's no mystery don't be fooled by the crazy things you see it's meant to be it's been going on for a billion years everybody playing on your fears to get you to do the very things you'd never do because they say we'll preach it all away the clergy knows without a doubt the fever's gonna grow predictions show the story's set even though they've never been right yet you wanna bet it's been going on for a billion years everybody playing on your fears to get you to do the very things you'd never do because they say we'll preach it all away hucksters are everywhere charlatans all wear the robes of respect just to wrap them round your neck

I should always fool you it's a chump move, I know it’s true I should always bamboozle you there is nothing else I can do I am an empty hole I've got nothing deep inside me and nothing in my life that ever qualified me to deserve someone like you and if you knew you'd see right through I should always con you just to keep you from discovering who I should always lie and deceive keep you tangled up in what I weave I am an empty shell I've got nothing to fall back on and nothing in the world to show me a reflection a transparent man and if you knew you'd see right through I should always fool you

do you explode, when I'm not there is there a code, I'm unaware do you careen, when I'm away across the green, while I decay I don't know you at all and I'm finally realizing I have fallen for your deceptive advertising I don't know you at all now the problems are arising I never saw it coming do you attack, in corners tight or do you go, looking for a fight do you pulsate, in glowing red or is it all, inside my head I don't know you at all and I'm finally realizing I was taken in by your creative enterprising I don't know you at all and it's really not surprising I never saw it coming do you explode do you detonate do you vaporize spinning counterclockwise I don't know you at all and I'm finally realizing I was buffaloed you were so good at disguising I don't know you at all by way of emphasizing I never saw it coming

half nighttime... comes it can be hard to tell but you'll know it when you're in it and you're in it well half nighttime... comes it's neither dark nor light and it might go on forever or maybe the schedule's tight you can't be sure what time it is the radio's only static hiss all reference points vanish in the mist things change and stay the same half nighttime... comes what seems like a sweet escape is just another detour one you should not take half nighttime... comes and anything's possible but nothing useful happens and every result is null you never know just where you are every door will stand ajar but none of them get you very far no gain you can't be sure what time it is the radio's only static hiss all reference points vanish in the mist things change and stay the same limbo rock, and limbo roll like you're falling down a hole but you can't fall there's nowhere to go

sounds fall down from the pregnant sky they're falling, they're falling sounds fall down they rarely catch your eye but they're calling, they're calling and I'm not ready barely steady I'm surrounded by the sound but I can't catch it I can't steer it barely hear it a note drops in my ear but I can't match it sounds fall down like Debussy's rain and I know it, I know it sounds fall down and circle round the drain and I know it, I can't get going

Ohio's Brown 02:29
grass burns, haze turns when Ohio's brown one smoke, all choke when Ohio's brown days stretch on for centuries heat puts strong men down insect drone's the soundtrack to anywhere you're bound when Ohio's brown asphalt shimmers when Ohio's brown pavement embers when Ohio's brown nights go by in seconds flat moment's respite found sun comes back to bake us all hard as concrete town when Ohio's brown sweat pours, indoors when Ohio's brown North lake escape when Ohio's brown
