Tell Me

You could be my deep sea guide
when you gonna dive?
I see you on the slip, sea-side
I cannot follow
and I know you know I know you better
oh my lover, wanna push push push the tide
don’t want no one to see, but I see the signs
There’s a demon in the backyard
and the smell of a rain-wet dog
and the Mongols march outside the door when the winds blow hot
And it shows in the way you sell it
in the glow of the way you dare not tell
and it shows in the way you keep me coming
why can’t you tell me
I’m a ceaseless agitator too
honing on a prize
don’t need no rules to feed me, no
but I get it up when you give it up
give it up!
Oh my poor lover
I’m a witness to the flood
it’s peacetime, drink some wine
forget the Ceasar that you are
and I tell you now it ain’t no rumor
I got cous cous and a big ole hookah
And it shows in the way you suffer
and it floats in the air like pouring rain
and it shows in the way you get me high
why can’t you tell me
