Landmines

you watched your cat get ran over you were broken in your pain I was stoned upstairs trying to remember my own name our friends got weirder with their eyes as red as roses they lifted heavier things with their needles and their noses always girls with their miseries as mysterious as stars and as obvious as gravity landmines in my mind called memories I gotta watch I don't get blown to smithereens don't you know what I mean I climbed up and I jumped and when I hit I was completely numb you drug my broke ass to the carnival and it wasn't even fun I walked forever like an ancestor exiled from my mind in the sackcloth and ash of a borrowed pair of your levis we stuffed yer Mazda full of dope plants and headed back to base I've never been an astronaut but I swear to god I've been to space landmines in my mind called memories I gotta watch I don't get blown to smithereens don't you know what I mean now the sun is coming through the curtains and I must leave I can't change the way it was only change the way it's gonna be don't look me in the eye and don't get tough what you think you know you don't and what you know you mostly just made up you do what you can and sometimes even what you should aint it a shame the way the good ole days weren't even all that good landmines in my mind called memories I gotta watch I don't get blown to smithereens don't you know what I mean
