Moes Haven: Lyrics/Clips/MP3s
Sanitarium Employees are Uninterested in my Memories
(Moes Haven)
Alone inside a city garden
Walls eight feet high
A weepin' willow
A buzzin' dragonfly
She slept there so peacefully
And perfectly resigned
And I can't get it out of my mind
Anchor's up
The ocean liner's creeping off to sea
Engineers condemn the land they flee
She stands waving to the love
That she leaves behind
And I can't get it out of my mind
Full moon rises o'er the gypsies
And the land they claim
Jangling bangles glinting in the rain
And on the mountin I lament
My distance from their kind
And I can't get it out of my mind
La la la la la la la la la la la la
And I can't get it out of my mind
Roadside bar in Omaha
Truckers curse the cold
Around the rye, bawdy tales are told
Beneath the lantern, Johnson's reading Boswell so refined
And I can't get it out of my mind
Busses roll from Kennedy at the break of day
On the river, fires burn away
An old man seeking passage
For his dog that's blind
And I can't get it out of my mind
I picked up Mary Otis
Headin' to the game
Endured her dreams of fortune and of fame
Leather boots, plastic hat
A sweater made of twine
And I can't get it out of my mind
La la la la la la la la la la la la
And I can't get it out of my mind
A darkling stage in Baltimore
Larry's fiddle reels
A brazen girl amidst the crowd reveals
Tarnished diamonds, a telephone, a book by Getrude Stein
And I can't get it out of my mind
In the next apartment
Lecturing his son, a father says, "Boy, time to clean my gun
Sally forth and just procure coffee beans to grind"
And I can't get it out of my mind
Eisler says to M. F. Stauff at the archives door
"None shall pass 'till 2104"
A tantrum and a glare askance
Stauff stands quite maligned
And I can't get it out of my mind
La la la la la la la la la la la la
And I can't get it out of my mind
Dragon Power, Contra
Baseball Stars and Tron
Metroid, Frogger, Pitfall
They're all gone
Sunk within the putrid earth
Never for to find
And I can't get it out of my mind
Behind the metal counter
With a rally cap
She conjured forth a tall and frothy frappe
And in her spell, bewitching
A winesome hope divined
And I can't get it out of my mind
The broked lamp obscures the fabled timepiece from my sight
A letter lies half-written in the night
Knotted threads the perfume, wine and drifting can't unwind
And I can't get it out of my mind
La la la la la la la la la la la la
And I can't get it out of my mind
