Jandek - Picture lyrics

rate me

I don't know how I move

I tell my body to do things

I find myself someplace

Decisions and motions

All in a dream I woke up

And here I am

How did I get here

How did I make this world

I thought it out and made a plan

And the elements combined

Presto — here's reality

There's always a beginning and an end

Even in between those times

When motion moves me through the air

Or was it just a thought

How did I commandeer that event

We all appear and then dissolve

Like an image presentation

Smile and talk and make conclusions

Watch the world as we go by

Say hello and drop a thought

Verbalize and construct time

It takes good will and thankfulness

An annoying glancing piercing eye

And solitude that just won't quit

The moving rolling landscape lies

All about the sides and front and back

In a picture frame that's made for me
