Ruth / Learned In Space

Oh Ruth, untie the boat
These kisses at your throat
Ask is Ruth in there

Safe grade school winter warm
Glue smell and tracing hands
Make leaves and more leaves

There's an infinite of birds
Finding David in the ferns
My stars

It's Juarez, Mexico
Seamless in Spanish pants
Just three years later
From underneath the sand
With roots and bugs in hand
She chews and listens

Happens heck as into hell
And a sex that calls to Christ to help

Oh it's an animal
With her god
And it's an animal

He moves through the well-dressed dancing couples
Alone but not bothered by it
And totally involved with her fruit
No one asks her to dance even though it's supposed to be her party
And the boysies find her total

And so I'm spinning past
As her first date finished last by dark

Oh it's an animal
With her god
And it's an animal

1:30 and I'm thinking of noon
And a luncheon with Ruthie
1:50 as I'm dreaming of June
And a garden of bursting
It's 1950 over again
Where's my fresh diner daisy?

HA HA HA HA!

1:30 and I'm thinking of noon
And a luncheon with Ruthie

Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Oh oh
Oh

I've got a second land wife, she's my
Something to give to them
I'll bury her in the weeds
It looks like a safe place to me
I wonder where I put my wings this time
I've left them lying around
It's breathing, it's scratching, it's my
My baby
Where am I coming from
And stepping on the roof
Are sexless and aged show girls

I find myself becoming aroused
What the girls without know
Alive for now with others to spare
Bless my head

A few days ago I had
A vertigo seizure
And it's taking my ears off
I'm dying, I may be
Calling out for a year
Launching up the field
I think that I've figured out

On an alien
Came a sign of what was
Everything I've ever learned
I learned in space

Oh oh oh oh

I find myself becoming aroused
What the girls without know
Alive for now with others to spare
Bless my head
And on an alien
Came a sign of what was
Everything I've ever learned
I learned in space
