All the lonely people put their hands
In the personal crotched afghan
Roll themselves in rows, they find a place
Where their hair cannot reveal their face
One of them has happened to have pains
One of them will know enough to ache
All delighted
All delighted
All delighted
All delighted
All delighted
All delighted
All delighted people raise their hands
All delighted people raise their hands
All delighted people raise their hands
All delighted people raise their hands

Tell me what you saw in me
And I'll try to replicate it with a scene
Mm-mmm
If it troubles you to breathe
Wait a moment; I could change the scenery
Don't carry on carrying efforts, no no, oh oh oh oh
Somewhere there's a room for each of us to grow
And if it pleases you to leave me, just go, oh oh oh oh
Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost
Mm-mmm
It's only that I meant to bring
Love and liveliness to your breast on the scene
Mm-mmm
Did you cut your hands on me?
Are my edges sharp? Am I pest to feed?
Don't carry on carrying regrets, oh no oh oh oh
Somewhere there's a room for us to speak alone
And if it grieves you to stay here, just go, oh oh oh oh
For I have no spell on you, it's all a ghost
Mm-mmm
I still have the things you gave
Four anointing oils, the paper weight you made
Mm-mmm
For sure I haven't carried them
Or buried them in the name of your ghost, my friend
Don't carry on carrying efforts: Don't go! No oh oh oh
Stay with me until I sleep within your host
Or if it pleases you to leave me, just go, oh oh oh oh
Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost
Mm-mmm

When your heirloom's wilted brown
When the devil's pushing down
When your mourning has a sound
And you hesitate to laugh
How quickly will your joy pass
How quickly will your joy pass
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I'll never let it push your arms no more
And when your legs give out just lie right down
And I will kiss you till your breath is found
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I'll never let it push your arms no more
So do you think I came to fight?
And do I always think I'm right?
Oh no I never meant to be a pest to anyone this time
Oh no I only meant to be a friend to everyone this time

Desperate measures lead to death
From the mouth of Gabriel
Who died in his sleep when the world was a very big mess
A very big mess; he saw too much
From now on I will look away from every accident
That may or may not come my way
Saw you were talking up above the Aleph room
Masquerading as a loom
Both of us saw things
No one else would see as well
From the mouth of Gabriel
No one else would hear as well
From the mouth of Gabriel, etc.
Don't be so sure of what you feel (it might as well be trouble)
From now on just let the universe be your shelter from the enemy
Your face has changed
I hardly know who you are this time
And what a mess I've made of you
You probably would but I won't let you run away
You probably should but I won't let you run away this time
Don't be afraid of loneliness some refugee beside itself
Instead of what you've got
You probably would but I won't let you go away
You probably should but I won't let you go away this time
Your face has changed
I hardly know who you are this time
And when I came into your room
You tried to jump
Now I know this is strange to hear from the mouth of God
It was something like a scene from mars
In a struggle between loves and lies
The angle kept his face covered for to keep his word
And while I spoke something left from my life
Forget about the past
Be at rest I'll make things right
And while I held you at best you nearly died
Forget about the past
And I'll try to make things right

All I had hoped for
I kept inside your car
The rabbit in the barn
Most of all I wait
I wait beside the door; I wait beside the door
All I was wrong trembling in the cage
I was diamonds in the cage
In seven hours I consider death
And your father called to yell at me
You little boy, you little boy
Found out you cheated me
I ran behind the barn and cut my hands somehow
Blood in the meadowlark
I punched your ears instead
I punched you in the head
You only laughed and laughed and laughed
How I was wrong tingling from the kill
Tickle me until you devil bird you evil still
Slept on my arms, I was sleeping in the sill
I was sleeping in the room with you
You little boy, you little boy
How could you run from me now?
The loneliest chime in the house
The loneliest chime in the house
You let it out you let it out
Come to me Calvary still
I'm weeding and raking until
I'm bleeding in spite of my love for you
It bruised and bruised my will
Counting alluvial plains
The breathing inside of the range
You touched me inside of my cage
Beneath my shirt your hands embraced me
Come to me feathered and frayed
For I am the ugliest prey,
For I am the ugliest prey
The owl, the reckless reckless praise
You said you'd wait for me
Down by Tannery Creek
Far out by the roadside where we used to kiss behind the sheets
Wrapped in a blanket of red
The Owl and the Tanager said
The Owl and the Tanager said
One waits until the hour is death

All delighted people raise their hands

Arnica might take out the throes that I threw in my head
Bruno, your wife shakes her bedclothes as she makes up the bed
I'm tired of life; I'm tired of waiting for someone
I'm tired of prices; I'm tired of waiting for something
I have a right to know what's in store; to know what should be said
Could I have it all for a night to have slept in the warmth of your bed?
I'm tired of life; I'm tired of waiting for someone
I'm tired of prices; I'm tired of waiting for something
I'm tired of life; I'm tired of life, etc.
Oh be patient with me; for the night weighs on my chest with a terrible storm
Though we may disagree on how things should be done on how crisis is born
Don't consider it done wait until Leviathan lovingly creeps in your sill
For he waits in the dark, brooding magically; mustering paperback feelings
No I'm not afraid of death or strife or injury, accidents, they are my friends…

I know you won't get very far
With the back seat driver in the carpetbagger
With the dagger heart grabber stuck in your car
And the yard is grown to a hilt
And the money spent money spent where it went
Embarrassment, embarrassment to pay for the car
And the man who left you for dead
He's the heart grabber back stabber double cheater wife beater
You don't need that man in your life
And you worked yourself to the bone
While the people say what they say
It's the neighbors anyway
They don't know what's good for your life
And I see your head hangs low
In the black shadow, half shadow
Living room is fitting is sitting room is fit for your crying
Don't be ashamed—don't hide in your room
For the woman is, woman is the glorious victorious
The mother of the heart of the world
Djohariah Djohariah, etc.
And the time you held to the light
When water ran water ran with the strange attic
And when the walls were wet with your life
And you pushed yourself to the floor
And the spirit went where it went
Hovering discovering uncovering your life, on the floor
And the walls were wet with your love
For the mother is, the mother is the glorious victorious
The mother of the heart of the world
Don't be ashamed, don't hide from me now
For the woman is the woman is the glorious victorious
The mother of the heart of the world
Djohariah Djohariah, etc.
Don't be ashamed, don't cry in the bath
For it's the story of, story of, morning glory story
It's the gloriole that comes to your path
There is a time when the lights will arise
For the mother is, the mother is the glorious victorious
The mother of the heart of the world
Go on! Little sister! Go on!
For your world is yours, world is yours
All the wilderness of world is yours to enjoy
Go on! Little sister! Go on! Little sister!
For your world is yours, world is yours
All the wilderness of world is yours
Go on! Little sister! Go on! Little sister!
For your world is yours, world is yours
All the wilderness of world is yours
Go on! Little sister! Go on!
For you're beautiful, beautiful
All the fullness of the world is yours
