about

Recorded during the "Wake" sessions.

lyrics

Henry C
Sparkle eyes
Teeth about to break
He dances like he's just in time
to see the world awake
He is gonna spit his gum into the ocean's wave
He don't hear a thing except
the way it says his name

Well, the younger folks
are snickering
Their cigarettes so brave
I can see winking eyes
and shaking tambourines
They will black their eyes
and flip their birds
and wash their faces
Take me back in time
Where the world is still awake

Wheels spin and
Shotgun grins
Sheila shakes a leg
Her ghostly hand
Concession stands
The way she stops to wave
I don't hear a thing
except the way she says my name
and I am not the only man
who is listening this way

She's got eyes in the back of her head
She once joked with me that I was a dangerous man
I was a dangerous man
She's got eyes in the back of her head

Old Emma
with her seeing-eye dog
toes the edge of a grave
I think I heard her whistling
or maybe it was me
No one says a thing about
how silly it can be
When you're talking to yourself
The whole world is asleep
