In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection

I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness

Open field with a window Open field with a window Open field with no child Open field with no child Open field Open field

Have no doubt about it, hon, the dead will do alright

Four dogs in the distance Each stands for a silence, yeah Bluebirds lodged in an evergreen altar I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness And hold the world to its word

Moments can be monuments to you If your life is interesting and true It's just the same for a man or a girl The meaning of the world lies outside the world

Only one for me Only one for me Only one for me I'll put my dreams high on a shelf I'll have to learn to like myself Yeah, maybe I'm the only one for me

Ghosts are just old houses dreaming people in the night Have no doubt about it, hon, the dead will do alright Go contemplate the evidence and I guarantee you'll find The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind

Up the hill past 694, at the stone wall make a left And I will see you soon, my friend If these old directions still direct

Poor as a mouse every morning Rich as a cat every night

They don't vote They don't even smoke, I know you're blue

Of all of the people I knew I always looked up to you And after millions of years of crime The sun still shines and shines Look, a horse, of course Gallops through the desert light I make such good time through sub-space When I dream all day and write all night

I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence

Anchor lets you see the river move

Room games and diamond rain It's a fox hunt It's an F-stop It's a ten acre wood Outbound on a western train It costs a quarter, man Out on the border land I can dance real good Real good

That's one thing of which they're dang sure

All houses dream in blueprints Our houses dream so hard Outside, you can see my shoeprints I've been dreaming in your yard

You might as well say fuck me cause I'm gonna keep on Keep on loving you

There were no new ways to understand the world, only new days to set our understanding against.
