Jandek - First You Think Your Fortune's Lovely lyrics

Your rating:
Everything's so restless

The wind has come again 

Blowing me so far 

I think I see a star 

First you think your fortune's lovely 

And you fly out through the door 

Grandmama I feel so lonely 

My rapture's painted on the floor 

The roads lead all to Jacob's kitchen 

I'm sitting moon eyed at the table 

Sitting blank-eyed by the door 

Oh Lord, do you really think I'm able 

Well I chose this love completely 

When you took away the charm 

Set your mind on breaking burdens 

Said you done no one no harm 

I feel a bit like floating water 

Headed for the rocks at bay 

Crash upon some ocean liner 

Comes upon my lonesome way 

Thought I see your eyes a-flashing 

Thunder in your hair 

I burnt a match for your complexion 

The lights went out and you weren't there 

Seated by the ranch I'm owning 

Staring at the cellophane 

Somebody came in for a question 

I poured a glass out in the rain 

The reason I have been accepted 

Is that I failed to come on strong 

Found a chair beside a window 

Found a place where I belong 

Inside myself there is no question 

Just the jangle of our brain 

Three times four is twenty-seven 

Only fragments still remain 

I curse the day I found my freedom 

You took the mirror from the wall 

Placed it in a single suitcase 

Pointed down a hollow hall 

You said you see your true direction 

I'll be there behind the sun 

And I'll go with you in the springtime 

When all your travels have been done
