Henry Miller's ghost cafe
It's a wave of love or a wave of death
And there's a whale
There's a whale swimming backwards
Look up her name
Her reflection in a spoon, boy
Was as holly as her face
I want to be out of the whale
(He wants to be out of the whale)
I want to feel like I'm a man
(He wants to feel like he is a man)
I want to go home
Tomorrow's going to snow
A classic pamphlet will be written
By a parrot in a cage
I'm fiddling with my own face
Towards the flames
I'll see the world, I'll raise the stakes, I'll double dare
I've been drinking enough for two today
And you're passing, and you're passing the day
In a cheap motel
Her reflection in a spoon, boy
Was as holly as her face
I want to be out of the whale
(He wants to be out of the whale)
I want to feel like I'm a man
(He wants to feel like he is a man)
I want to go home
Tomorrow's going to snow
I'm going back inside the whale
I'm going to sleep for another day
