Lyrics John Frusciante

John Frusciante

Shining Desert

I tell you, I tell you

You hold my cards

You did from the start

You rang the bell from inside

You make the corners wide

You hang up on a cell phone

I say hi

I fail you, I fail you

You don't know how

Can't figure it out

You make the tail a headstone

And you don't see those from death

Perspective is an answer we don't get

Put it on a flat space height will make it thin or wide

Seen from a distance objects hide in plain sight

Ooh I feel better

Cuz I killed a messenger

You know I keep an honest head

Being so mislead

You make the sins glimmer

And do take the lower road

There's ends I meet

From your hands still unknown

Ooh I am desert

It's easy to rely on luck

You don't care what the past has been

There's only what may be

He makes the days happen

And I make light in dark minds

You take the signal inward and it shines

Ooh I feel better

Cuz I killed a messenger

You know I keep my eyes peeled

There's nothing you could steal

You hold heat in the ice bin

There is nothing you have been

Oh be sad, be sad
