Sea Anemone Lyrics - Jets To Brazil

the curtain's a sea anemone 

in the way it sways 

to the slow breeze 

I lie spread out on the floor 

looking at these things 

and most of them are yours 

and it's so nice 

sitting very still 

without those old shoes 

I could never fill 

starfish with its arms out in a daze 

staring at the stars 

through an ocean haze 

was I one you wished upon? 

burned out like a lightbulb 

when you turned me on 

and it's so nice 

sleeping here all alone 

with my ashtray and 

white courtesy telephone 

now I'm making out the shapes 

like the shower rod - can it take my weight? 

I will tell you I am fine 

I got some news, friend, feels like I'm dying 

turtle on its back in the desert sea 

and you look like a cool drink 

just slightly out of reach 

draw myself into the shell 

waiting on a sign from god 

or a nod from hell 

and it's so nice 

sitting very still 

without those old shoes 

I could never fill 

now we're turning on the lights 

it's the first day of my second life 

take my name off of the lease 

you can even keep the name it never suited me
