Slowly float over the seas with the belief
And your heart is in the middle, heart is in the middle of it
Slowly float over the seas with the belief, but
She has no time, no time, honestly
Shes still awake in bed in her white dress
She cannot fall asleep all night
Hold tight your will, no warmth , no heat
No love, only cold lights
In the dark of her room shes still thinking of you
All her memories gone but shes still thinking of you
In her heart theres no place for nobody but you
All her memories gone but shes still thinking of you

Lonesome Place
They took me out to some lonesome place
They asked: “do you believe in the great white race?”
I said: “Mister, to tell you the truth,
I’d believe in anything if you if just turn me loose”.
Turn, turn, turn me loose.
The white man said “boy, can it be-
You’re standing there slandering me?”
Turn, turn, turn me loose.
Do you see my skin or silhouette?
I only see love in my bed.
They hit me in the head and then they knocked me down
And then they hit me right there on the ground
And a Klansmen said: “nigger,
Look me in the face, now tell me you believe
In the great white race.
Turn, turn, turn me loose.
Do you see my skin or silhouette?
I only see love in my bed.
Southern woman now don’t you swoon
They just hung your Blackman in the light of the moon
They’ve hung him there from some cedar tree
They like to hang them high
They like to watch men bleed
You know Dixie protects its white womanhood
So, Southern belle you be good
You be good, you be good
Do you see my skin or silhouette?
I only see love in my bed.
Where is my mind
Ooooooh Stop
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water, see it swimming
I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except for little fish
When they told me east is west trying to talk to me, coy koi
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water, see it swimming
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water, see it swimming
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah

For Emma
Narrator:
(So apropos: saw death on a sunny snow)
Him:
"For every life..."
Her:
"Forgo the parable."
Him:
"Seek the light."
Her:
"...My knees are cold."
(Running home, running home, running home, running home...)
Her:
"Go find another lover;
To bring a... to string along!"
"With all your lies,
You're still very lovable."
"I toured the light; so many foreign roads for Emma, forever ago."
