some crazy fucker carved a sculpture out of butter
                           and propped it up in the middle of the bonanza breakfast bar
                           and i am stuffing toast and sausage into my pockets
                           under a sign that says grand opening
                           while my dog is waiting in the car

                           i wake up, i check out
                           i fill the tank and wash the windshield clean
                           then i'm back out on the highway
                           and BANG that's when i remember my dream:

                           we were standing in a garden
                           and i had a machine that made silence
                           it just sucked up the whole opinionated din
                           and there were no people on the payroll
                           and there were no monkeys on our backs
                           and i said, show me what you look like
                           without skin

                           science chases money
                           and money chases its tail
                           and the best minds of my generation
                           can't make bail
                           but the bacteria are coming to take us down
                           that's my prediction
                           it's the answer to this culture
                           of the quick fix prescription

                           but in the garden of simple
                           where all of us are nameless
                           you were never anything but beautiful to me
                           and, you know, they never really owned you
                           you just carried them around
                           and then one day you put 'em down
                           and found your hands were free

                           so now it's early in the morning
                           at the longitude of memphis
                           and the sun is setting sweetly on hong kong
                           and the big plan is just to keep spinning
                           cuz the big bang is only just beginning
                           and sometimes it's all that we can do just to hang on

                           and what i meant to say is xxoo which means i'm thinking of ya
                           which means i've been thinking of you
                           all along
