Blue Icicles

Jandek


Well it’s my birthday and I’m here to stay 
I’m not going back to any other year 
But in the future tomorrow’s a new place 
I’ll bend the world to my birthday 
And you need a new song I’ll see you today 
I want to bend the world to my birthday 
I’m not done yet 
The best part’s to come 
I’ll bend my body to my will 
God give me the strength to bend to my will 
And keep my eyes so I can see 
It is only two ways to go 
Calm or steady 
But if you stay I can’t 
You’ve got to take my wing 
Because I’m in charge of flight 
If I take more than I need 
You’ve got to relinquish your spirit 
And die for me and in your death we’ll travel free 
But I got to live so you can die in me 
And we’re life and death traveling as me 
You died in me and I am you 
That’s how you find me 
You come to me 
And I’m waiting and explosion of red hot fire 
But I got blue icicles to put you out 
And you’ll let it out dead 
And you fall out of life into me 
I exploding (?) 
Come on to this park and ride a piece of rock 
As it moves through the air 
You must keep reason underneath it all 
I live for all 
You live there too 
You don’t need to be a force, just conquer life 
And when you die you’re born again 
And here I am in front of you 
There’s so much better that I could be 
I could carry my strength instead of leave it behind and hide 
And keep it in a private place so you can’t see me 
I can’t see you 
And but I’m waiting 
I know you’ll come through and when you do 
We’ll come through too 
If you talk to me don’t keep yourself away 
The way to your heart is to let you follow me 
I’d like to weave a spell and include you 
I think I’ve got a surprise for you 
And I know that I want you here with me 
Don’t know who you are 
Why did you 
And granted there I was too 
Backing up your choice 
Let’s go there because I got you on my mind
