I've got a box full of pictures and trinkets That start to make noise when I'm lying in bed Overexposed to inanimate thinking I'd like to think that it's all in my head, all in my head I had a dream; you sat on the table Questioning me while I'm tired to a chair Sleep deprivation and sexual torture It's nice to know that you still really care I am bouncing I am bouncing very well I know a Buddha with rosary rings for a crown He sits silently staring for most of the week I need to tell him you've got to quit coming around Getting tired waiting for prophets to speak Here is a postcard of Spanish cathedrals Dwarfed by a sculpture painted bright orange by Miro Magazine covers proudly presenting The Beatles in languages I'll never know I am bouncing I am bouncing very well I am bouncing higher and higher In Barcelona the angry policeman Says internet cafes are no place for a drunk man to sleep How to respond in wasted American I don't think absinthe and valium are healthy for me We went to Nassau for slaves and old boyfriends We went to Paris and out to your family in Queens Fuss and fighting, drowning emotions I'd like to think I love all the people I've seen I am bouncing I am bouncing very well I am bouncing higher and higher Come take my hand darling; we could get married We could have babies and live in a shack by the sea Fresh cut flowers and octopus cocktails Just close your eyes, it's easy to see that We are bouncing We are bouncing very well We are bouncing higher and higher
barcelona.spain.portland.oregon.2003 there's a book by salman rushdie - called fury - it starts and ends with characters bouncing very well - i steal a lot from mr rushdie - it was a whirlwind time of a new girlfriend - a new war - touring with das in europe - and cotton candy oysters at maison blanc in paris and shmeeze filled joy at the slaughtered lamb in barcelona [unfortunately the mcfadden dousing himself in absinthe and catching fire in the ramblas incident came too late for this song] - in the end we did get married in a shack by the sea and had octopus cocktails and babies
