i never thought of this as funny
it speaks another world to me
i wanna be your easter bunny
i wanna be your christmas tree
i'll strip the world that you must live in
of all its godforsaken greed
i'll ply the tar of your feathers
i'll pluck the thorns out of your feet
you and me
and if i choose your sanctuary
i'll want to wash you with my hair
i'll want to drink of sacred fountains
and find elixirs hidden there
i'll eat the lotus and peyote
i'll want to hear the caged-bird sing
i'll want the secrets of the temple
i'll want the finger with the ring
you and me
and if you made me your religion
i'll give you all the room you need
i'll be the drawing of your breath
i'll be the cup if you should bleed
i'll be the sky above the ganges
i'll be the vast and stormy sea
i'll be the lights that guide you inland
i'll be the visions you will see
the visions you will see
you will see
you and me
