The Tear Garden
"Turn Me On, Dead Man"

I snared you in a photograph
I trapped you on a wire
I amplified you, magnified you
1500 times
You strode across the ocean
And you smiled to careful drivers
Swooping low, you'd just say "no"
And though you never showed
I know you're still alive
Turn me on, my dead man
Give me a little sign
Turn me on, dead man
Gimme 'nother line
I still watch all your videos
My bedroom is your shrine
On Fridays all the guys
Will get together in the ghetto
In the pits
Howling epilipso fits
I swing my hips
I mime
Yes, I can feel your kick inside
Turn me on, my dead man
When you feel the time is right
Will you rejoin me as a king
With medallions and rings
And stairway things that lead from heaven
Will you give me back my innocence?
Will you paint the black sky blue?
Just like your shoes
I'll keep my distance
My respect
You choose the hour
I'll be there
Turn me on, dead man
