lyrics

I am a man of constant compunction.
You were scrupulously hearing me
Break down and catalogue all my neuroses.
I feel unclean to have these types of dreams about you.
I feel unclean most days.
Knelt down in my parents’ house without a sound.
I need water.
I need experience.
I need a shower, not holy water.
I was seventeen. She was sixteen, barely.
My parents married when they were twenty-two,
Graduate into the honeymoon.

In the mirror there’s a smaller rounder mirror used for shaving
But I’m not cleaning up my mess. My hands are full. My love is
In the mirror with your face pressed to its center.
You're a nucleus suffused across its surface.
With your face in the mirror,
You look so in love with yourself.
I am a man of constant desideration.
I am a man of constancy and consideration,
And consistent disintegration.

A chilly midnight jam in a young Michael Stipe's basement, we've stayed in the country too long.
