I can see
A woman with a rake
I can see
The ecstasy warriors
Decked out where once I was naked and lame
Focused now where I once played a good game
A pricked middle finger that just couldn't bleed
Selfish and haughty but now I concede
Eyes blink and watch it dissolve as it scatters
Conditioned to drink of places and matters
Matter that's molded to suit so you'll buy it
Places not far out enough so you'll try it
And see!
Real straight!
In motion
Waves of steel
Baptized, removed all the dross around my brain
A ticket so thick it was flies on the meringue
Brought back alive what was properly dead
Opened my eyes, dotted line to the head
Lectured and learned till you get where you are
It's had to grasp when you can't find your car
Take what it is baby, look but don't think
So you can see!
Moonshine on the rider!
I can see!
Turds of flesh on wallskin paper!
I can see!
Cities in mirrors!
I can see!
And I'm fighting back the tears
