Shining  Desert  -  John  Frusciante

I  tell  you,  I  tell  you

You  hold  my  cards

You  did  from  the  start

You  rang  the  bell  from  inside

You  make  the  corners  wide

You  hang  up  on  a  cell  phone

I  say  hi

I  fail  you,  I  fail  you

You  don't  know  how

Can't  figure  it  out

You  make  the  tail  a  headstone

And  you  don't  see  those  from  death

Perspective  is  an  answer  we  don't  get

Put  it  on  a  flat  space  height  will  make  it  thin  or  wide

Seen  from  a  distance  objects  hide  in  plain  sight

Ooh  I  feel  better

Cuz  I  killed  a  messenger

You  know  I  keep  an  honest  head

Being  so  mislead

You  make  the  sins  glimmer

And  do  take  the  lower  road

There's  ends  I  meet

From  your  hands  still  unknown

Ooh  I  am  desert

It's  easy  to  rely  on  luck

You  don't  care  what  the  past  has  been

There's  only  what  may  be

He  makes  the  days  happen

And  I  make  light  in  dark  minds

You  take  the  signal  inward  and  it  shines

Ooh  I  feel  better

Cuz  I  killed  a  messenger

You  know  I  keep  my  eyes  peeled

There's  nothing  you  could  steal

You  hold  heat  in  the  ice  bin

There  is  nothing  you  have  been

Oh  be  sad,  be  sad
