I Gave My Eternity Lyrics - Jandek

Oh, I like calls at night 

It's not serious enough 

I'm off for the day 

I shut out the lights 

I watched the day pass 

And in these moments 

I intermittently escape 

To that space around my epicenter 

It don't need to go far 

For me to see it here 

In many ways, yes 

But in all ways, no 

I can't see too far 

And I don't want to 

It's your own little world 

And you live here 

You know I want to be alone 

Now that's why I don't find you 

But you may be around 

And if I don't get you I still am found 

I gave my eternity 

Gave it away 

And you can find it under your sway 

Whoever calls it night is not serious enough 

At night I've gone back to where I came from 

I see my journey in a thousand ways 

Take off your mask now 

Reveal yourself 

Come out and show me 

You beautiful thing 

I'll just be me here in the space around me 

Get good machines now 

Don't buy mediocrity 

You'll eat your lunch now 

Like a low place swamp traveler 

Who happens upon a kingdom he likes 

And he will serve you now 

I'll make him do that 

He's at your service 

Have you the strength 

To be he she now? 

Get up and go 

And if you stop now 

Hey! Go go go go 

Go go go go now 

You're here, I'm there
