little yellow town

low tide tonight

low tide little yellow town

green life teems up from the underground

glows in the dark

sifts the sands of garbage

reach hard in for the ragged star fish

and only her lipstick bleeds

and the color seeds into all your paint by number schemes

what was yellow

what was white

what was day

what was night

and now in soft detective voices the past rises

and follows you in shapes of rain and dew

and you walk through the fun house

those sonic faces hit you like a bus

till you're knocked down by the doppler waves of trust

and over here i scare myself day after day

cube after cube

dot after dot laying down on the kitchen floor

tapped into the secret code she's a down girl

the acid's eating out her mind

the altered universe

step right up

door swings both ways and now tattooed children

two-legged potions

follow us while lightening bugs circle overhead

while lightening bugs circle overhead

we tear their wings off and memorize what they said

chasing us across summer and into sleep

it's down rain

down time

she's a real down girl

the acid's eating out her mind

till all is new and all is changed

the altered world

spells out your name

see if it works
