| The exit signs |
| Are lighting up my life | | For the second time |
| I’m in transition again | | Last time I lost |
| It may be this time |
| I’ll win | | |
| Waiting to move |
| Or moving to wait |
| |
| Now it’s a book |
| Now it’s a plane | | Now it’s at peace |
| Aware away again |
| |
| There’s so much | | That I can’t touch |
| When everything |
| Surrounds me |
| |
| Floral apple blossom bloom | | On Candide orange county woods |
| Turn them from their moulds |
| But the shells too thin |
| Look pretty good |
| But they always cave in | | |
| Things to do |
| Things to see |
| Places to go |
| People to be |
| I’m spinning around |
| On my back |
| Out-stare frightened people | | Such a little affair |
| |
| In the cold light of day |
| Everything’s changed | | My critical mind |
| My critical mind | | |
| Hidden keyholes |
| For hiding places |
| Deepened passing | | Darkened spaces | | Behind the sofa |
| In a misty hollow |
| Stemmed with dreams |
| I die and go to sleep |
| I can’t stay long | | But it feels like home |
| |
| Was open |
| Is closed |
| This is the first song |
| I ever wrote |
| |
