i think i could eat you and there's not much that i do i think i could taste you and there's not much that i care to so come on over, we'll coat you in sugar and dye your head bright blue cause you always liked the water, and the way it pulled on you so let's get drunk together, and wake up feeling rude and that cosmic twin with her pink purple skin so state of the art, with your head in your heart, well i think i could eat you and there's not much that i do i think i could taste you and there's not much that i care to so come on over, we'll sit down with my mother and we'll both get better as we eyeball our dinner cause i think i could eat, if you ask me real sweet oh my green circus twin, we were lost to begin with so i guess we should just get off here

i awoke like a child whose been told that he's home but its not the place that i've always know and i don't want you and i don't want him i just want to be by myself again well, tell me that you love me, and i'll tell you what to do tell me that you need it, and i'll show you what you're gonna go thru once i had a nice new friend with no kneecaps and eyes like rain and his mother worked in a hospital but still smoked like she was destined to and i wondered if he would die like all the kids in the songs we sung and i often asked him real nicely if he really wanted me to stay well your volvo dreams, always ending up downstream and that bright blue car forever haunts me when i see it from afar once i had a radio flyer, it held everything that i desired my minnie mouse and my baby cat and everything that i would need oh if i ran away from light blue cars, and all the men drinkin in the dark the old ladies and their god crazed minds their sickly sweets and their frozen sense of time tell me that you love me, well you sell yourself so short tell me that you need it and i'll come and take it all by force

brautigan 03:56
excuse me, i thought you were a trout stream the way you pick up moonbeams in your kool aid reality, you would come and sit all day with me and the child eyed rats came to eat my heart out back and i wished that i had you to feed them instead excuse me, i thought you were a trout stream the way you pick up on all her games in your telephone booth reality, you would come and talk all day to me and the red-hatted man with his eyes like the sun held is camera to me like the point of a gun and i thought he was a trout stream too the way he told me what to do hey trout stream you;re looking pretty blue and i know you think that i do to in your cellophane reality, you would drink up all my marble tea and that ten dollar dawn with its streetlights for eyes coughing up all my cash as the blue train it tries to pull on hey trout stream can i be your queen you can tell me all the season's seen in your cherry picking reality, you would come & smoke all day with me and the blue water fell into trout fishing hell and everyone died a grand trout death and the trout doctor comes and removes the disordered portion of my imagination, so i lost all my temptation today hey salesman, can i buy your trout stream give me 3 feet by all 17 yeah i know it's gone dry as a bone but i will fill it up and make it home cause i nowhere else to go
