Fluorescein

Abandoned Pools

Wipe away the summer air

You don't wanna see

That's you in that Photograph from 1973

And you don't even know me



God only Knows I wanna be

The other side of misery

Gimme a plate of Fluorescein

I'm gonna paint an ugly scene

All of the things I wanna say

Can't get a word out anyway

Falling away after today

Nothing to lose so come what may



Don't wake me



You got away from me somehow

And all we tried to be

Everything is different now

The mind's eye fails to see

And all we know is TV



Inside, I rise above this shallow world

Inside, I rise above this sorrow
