Have You Met Me Yet? / I Will Never Let You Go From Me

Don’t you look smart in that hat Don’t you look heavy smoking that cigarette Have you met me yet? I say there’s no ice left to break I have been told that my dreams are plain I was not searching for a friend I was never the kind for a kind man And I’m not crazy I’m just tired From searching constant for the keys to somebody else’s heaven I have been told my dreams are plain I have been told my dreams are plain Have you met me yet? And who are we when we touch down Are we in China now or Chinatown I know I have loved better worse I hate I have loved better worse Have you met me yet?

I smelled a video store on the Christmas stairs and I thought of Tennessee and all the good people there and I shared a joke with a guy who sold me some shoes and I caught a show of some kids that know and was moved in the land of masturbators, the one handed man is prince I take shots with the guys but they never ask me to dance and I can't go full time cause i'm gonna start writin' again when things go awry I can laugh i can cry with a friend I will never let you go from me it's the birds up early making a racket like the garbageman the vines pouring off porches making the homes hold hands and the dog that sleeps in one spot and now the grass won't grow stayin up late singin' songs with some kids that I know I will never let you go from me I tried burning down the great libraries of my past but came back in my weakness to salvage what i could grab she's laying on a long green couch with a mosquito bite the short blonde hair on her legs shining in the light I will never let you go from me
