oh, i'm halfway there,
oh, i'm halfway there
i went for a ride in the woods of my childhood,
when up from the trees came a man from the wildwood -
he said, oh, you're halfway there,
oh, you're halfway there
i won't say what he did or how he laid me down
i can only remember how wet the ground,
and his oh, i'm halfway there,
oh, i'm halfway there
we left in a rain oh but was it snow,
i remember the stillness in the midst of the wind blowing -
oh you're halfway there,
oh you're halfway there
and he gave me the secret to his immortal life,
how he'd never be ended if he never arrived and so,
always halfway there,
always halfway there
my grandfather told me when I rode the slide,
i'd get to the middle and jump from the side
screaming oh, I'm halfway there,
oh, I'm halfway there

you just want me outta sight, outta mind
you just want me outta mind, outta sight.
take your time don't take your time, I don't care
take your time don't take your time.
[you say], 'I don't wanna hear about it talk about it know about it
I don't wanna think about it, I don't care.'
take a walk, don't take a walk, I don't care
take a walk, don't take a walk.
suck a peach, go fuck a peach, I don't care
suck a peach, go fuck a peach.
we talk of Michaelangelo, he don't care,
we talk of Michaelangelo.
come and go, don't come and go, we don't care
come and go, don't come and go.
hold your breath you wanna follow me down deeper underwater -
but I won't be holding my breath,
but I won't be holding my breath.
bet you we can find some pearls for you to clutch while we're down there,
bet you we can find a pearl for you to clutch.
come closer, talk about it, joke about, laugh about it,
come closer, but I don't think you would dare.
you don't wanna hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil,
you don't wanna do nothin at all.
but monkey see, no monkey do,
monkey see, no monkey do, wouldn't you?
we're brushing on your windowpanes, you don't care
we're brushing our backs against your windowpanes.
we're knockin' on your windowpanes, you don't care
we're knockin' in your windowpanes, you don't care.
you don't wanna hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil,
you don't feel nothin at all
you don't wanna do nothin' at all
you don't wanna do nothin' at all.

let me be your spool of thread
red and strong oh i can be
i can be your rosary
to talk to god when you're long dead
i have such aching in my spirit
and oh such creaky little bones
my heart he breaks my lung she moans
they tell me you're not coming home
the sisters tell me such fine stories
and weave such fine and fragile webs
i pay to them your every debt
they teach me how to cut your threads
oh i am blood oh i am silver
you cannot stop me with commands
now let me see those handsome hands
i'll let you go when i make you shiver
i'll let you go when i make you shiver, yes -
[inst.]
let me see your new love's bed
let me fill it up with snow
let's see your love at 12 below
let's see you kiss her when she's
let's see you kiss her when she's
let me be your spool of thread,
red and strong oh i can be
red and strong, oh i can be
i can be your rosary
to talk to god,
talk to god,
when you're long dead
i'll talk to god,
i'll talk to god
let me be your spool of thread
red and strong
oh I can
i'll talk to god
be
i'll talk to god
let me be
i'll talk to god when you're long dead.
