Erics Trip Lyrics

    [lee]
    Hatred
    I hate the past

    I can't see anything at all, all i see is me
    That's clear enough
    And that's whats important, to see me

    My eyes can focus
    My brain is talking
    Looks pretty good to me
    My head's on straight, my girlfriend's beautiful
    Looks pretty good to me

    Sometimes i speak
    Tonight there's nothing to say
    Sometimes we freak
    And laugh all day

    Hold these pages up to the light
    See the jacknife inside of the dream
    A railroad runs through the record stores at night
    Coming in for the deep freeze

    Mary: a simple word, are you there in the country?
    Yr eyes so full, yr head so tight
    Can't you hear me?
    Remember our talk
    That day on the phone?
    I was the door, and you were the station
    With shattered glass and miles between us
    We still flew away in the conversation

    My cup is full, and i feel okay
    The world is dull, but not today

    She think's she's a goddess
    She says she talks to the spirits
    I wonder if she can talk to herself?
    If she can bear to hear it?

    This is eric's trip
    We've all come to watch him slip
    He's slipping all the way to texas
    Can you dig it?

    (eric says "the sky is blue...")
    I see with a glass eye
    The pavement view
    A shadow forming, across the fields rushing
    Thru me to you

    We tore down the world, and put up four walls
    I breathe in the myth
    I'm over the city, fucking the future
    I'm high and inside yr kiss

    We can't see clear
    But what we see is a alright
    We make up what we can't hear
    And then we sing all night

    Scattered pages and shattered lights
    A jacknife and a dream
    There's something moving over there on the right
    Like nothing i've never seen
