Purple Creek

Born to waste our time, dipping in blue ponds
 Let the others come, swim them through our world
 Born to waste our time, watching from your room
 Happiness has come, oh, burn, you yellow spoon
 I know someone who is waiting for us
 Down in the gully, filtering the mud
 And I know a creature whose intentions are insane
 Down in Purple Creek, mosquitoes sing him praise
 Mosquitoes lift his beard
 Mosquitoes nest his eyes
 Mosquito fingers in his brain
 Mosquito message in his veins
 ♪
 One drop of golden sunlight is resting on your cheek
 Drifting down, dissolving the stardust on your teeth
 Where did you come from? And where have you been?
 "Just here to waste my time, down here in Purple Creek"
 I know a picture where a girl, she lies supine
 With a lantern in her hand and golden leaves behind
 And I know a tract where every house is new
 And inside a back room, a wilting woman waits for you
 Hallucinating happiness
 Singing sailor's songs
 Filling glass spittoons
 Howling at a crusting moon
 Hoping you'll come soon
 Come home to Purple Creek
 Come home to Purple Creek
 Come home to Purple Creek
 Come home to Purple Creek
