well i made it to seaside by the skin of my toes
though can't see the water lest i stand on my nose
saddle up boy we're riding to the wild fern growth
either high in the trees or way down below
we're not holy if only we'd learn how to see in the dark
when it starts to rain just remember my name
and meet me in candlestick park
words just desert us, though nothing can hurt us
no matter how violent we are
falling down ladders just to see what's the matter
i carved your name into the bark
now we're floating with the strange angels
but i'll always know where you are
you're a fatherless mommy/trash bag origami
blowing 'round in candlestick park
this coast makes me taller a spine like a shark
i pretend i'm a dancer afloat in the stars
but they're hangin so low i can rip 'em apart
'til it's dark as the highway that leads to my heart
and it's only nothing or everything i just don't know where to start
but i'll let you take hold as the wax turns cold as we stroll
through candlestick park
