Is it really you

Appeared on Slim Possibilities

 

(David Munyon/S.P. Standley)

 

I have no idea where this song came from, but I'm happy about it.

 

Well, it's half past 4:30, your mind wanders in

and begins to explain one more story

this will probably be the longest song in the world

about the girls very lovely

with leather and spiked heels

and indian women from Dehli

and the Egyptian Queen,

who cared not to sing this one

 

Is it really you...

no, it's just someone bending the fringe on

the edge of the veil

someone is bending the fringe on

the edge of the veil

 

I lost my fear of flying in the clouds near Lyon

I never do think about falling

if I did you know me I'd probably just fall apart

all the women they saved me

from the moments like these

when I don't hear a single friend callin'

this world is expired, so I better get to the point

 

Is it really you...

no, it's just someone bending the fringe on

the edge of the veil

someone is bending the fringe on

the edge of the veil

 

I like what I see when I see you walking

but you always are walking away so

I never told you, but we've spent a fortune

just on dues

in the rain together in the car all evening

I told you I was quickly selling

the apartment where we first made love

on Western Avenue

 

Is it really you...

no, it's just someone bending the fringe on

the edge of the veil

someone is bending the fringe on

the edge of the veil

 

Like a blue fancy race car on a perfect highway

I drove my old heart in the dirches

an' I try to ignore the race wars

and nuclear leaks

I was told if I played fair

and diagrammed sentences

and shaved every day in the mirror

I am tired now I think I'll have to

prop up my feet

 

Is it really you...

no, it's just someone bending the fringe on

the edge of the veil

someone is bending the fringe on

the edge of the veil
