Canaan

Canaan is lonely
But Canaan's the only one who knows
So Canaan just frowns and goes downtown
Canaan is falling
And Canaan is calling out to you
But Canaan would drown if he reached the ground
Canaan's emerging
From beneath a burning fern he has found
Canaan's resurging
On the verge of turning brown

And he says, I don't know how to feel about you
And he says, I don't know what is real without you
And he says, I cried when you flushed me out the drain of your brain into the frozen rain
And, I've tried going insane

Canaan is worried
But he's in no hurry to understand
Flies in a flurry
And he scurries to be a better man
Canaan is wild
He drives with a smile and no real plan
Meanders for miles
And only arrives at thoughts like

I can't tell how to feel about you
And, I can't tell what is real without you
And, I cried when you flushed me out the drain of your brain Into the frozen rain
And, I've tried going insane
Going insane

And there's nothing to be said
That won't leave him locked inside his head
Don't leave him lying in his bed
And though he is falling out of view
Canaan's still calling out

Canaan is messy
But stress is a blessing from time to time
And though he is resting
He's playing chess with himself in his mind most of the time
And Canaan is lazy
And he's crazy 'bout the drugs he shouldn't have to do to get through to you
And his mind's getting hazy
It burns in a blaze all around you

And I don't know what to do about you
And I just don't have a clue without you
And I cried when you flushed me out the drain of your brain into the frozen rain
And I've tried going insane
Going insane, going insane
Going insane, going insane
Going insane, going insane
Going insane, going insane, going insane, going insane
