Sea Anemone lyrics

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 on me

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 turing 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
