I Am Safe Here

And I am safe here
And everyone we know was waving gently
Inviting me round to listen to that record and let me know
That I'd been playing with one chord in my sleep
Been sitting with the same ten words on my tongue, on my tongue

But I am safe here
I've been getting apples for teachers, been piling them up
Been picking at flowers, snipping away at the stalks
Been taking them home, putting them in vases
Just to watch them rot, just to watch them rot

Like hanging the clouds from the sky
I am safe here
I am, I am

When you open up your mouth
All your heroes jump out
They jump straight out
Is it endless?
He couldn't say at all
He couldn't say at all

But I am safe here
As long as I'm with you
"To be conscious is to be cursed"
Saw that in a used book shop
Checking my credentials and staking my claim
But I am safe here
Watching that magician do the same old routine
Over and over and over again
But I am safe here

Building houses out of sticks

But I am safe here
As long as I'm with you

When you open up your mouth
All your heroes jump out
They jump straight out
Is it endless?
He couldn't say at all
He couldn't say at all

But I am safe here
