Here is my gift to you:
I see you and I’ll make you look good.
Through impossible angles,
and irregular rhythms,
I see you and I’ll make you look good.
Here’s what you can do for me:
Lead yourself to someplace unholy.
It’s a long way from Los Angeles to Chicago-
Now we know.
Flipping through the calendar real slow
and it’s a long way across a crowded court
I am telling you to go
and when you make your best move I will know
Tear up how it was
Tear up what might be
Try not to hold the past
too tight or preciously
Will you call me from the road?
I’ll call you like a tree calls a yellow warbler home
Saying “here’s a place to be.”
and I’m a long way from the type of piece
you might want to build around
That’s why I plant my center in your ground
And for a long time from a long way off
I will listen for the sound
and I’ll make you proud
