Jandek - I Gave My Eternity lyrics

Oh, I like calls at night

It's not serious enough

I'm off for the day

I shut out the lights

I watched the day pass

And in these moments

I intermittently escape

To that space around my epicenter

It don't need to go far

For me to see it here

In many ways, yes

But in all ways, no

I can't see too far

And I don't want to

It's your own little world

And you live here

You know I want to be alone

Now that's why I don't find you

But you may be around

And if I don't get you I still am found

I gave my eternity

Gave it away

And you can find it under your sway

Whoever calls it night is not serious enough

At night I've gone back to where I came from

I see my journey in a thousand ways

Take off your mask now

Reveal yourself

Come out and show me

You beautiful thing

I'll just be me here in the space around me

Get good machines now

Don't buy mediocrity

You'll eat your lunch now

Like a low place swamp traveler

Who happens upon a kingdom he likes

And he will serve you now

I'll make him do that

He's at your service

Have you the strength

To be he she now?

Get up and go

And if you stop now

Hey! Go go go go

Go go go go now

You're here, I'm there
