Got You

I've tried beer, and I've tried poison

I sleep standing up--it's all for you

Brand-new static on the same old station

New rotation for the same old tune

I look at you through a hole in a leaf

From your eyes--green, wide--to the tops of your feet

And I take it, and I put it in my pocket

Now I got you, got you

I woke up tonight, some long blue murder

And I've thrown days away--it's all for you

I want a box of paper dolls for Christmas

Pick the prettiest, pretend it's you

Draw your face in the sand on the beach

With two seashell eyes, broken sand-dollar teeth

It's a picnic and a nightmare loving someone

But I got you, got you

Candles light the scene of my closet shrine

Play-Doh figurines in a plane where you are mine

I don't pray for much--that's what I'm getting

Talking at the moon, a face like you

Every pill I take wears some resemblance

Takes me to a place where dreams are true

I swallow you with a smile on my face

Then I hold you warm in a summer place
