Turning over lunch tables
and benches
every time your name gets
mentioned
mental somersaults in all
directions
every time your name gets
mentioned
I always see you at the mall
walking through alternate dimensions
like it's nothing
You're never cognizant at all
And I think maybe, just maybe
I won't look that
bad
in front of you
that bad
in front of you
I fade away like voices in
a tunnel
make concentric circles like
a funnel
run around until my legs
are broken
thinking about how we've never
spoken
I see you at the grocery store
passing by boxes of cereal
like it's nothing
I couldn't love you more
And I think maybe, just maybe
you will love me
back
love me back
just like that
love me back
I always see you at the mall
walking through alternate dimensions
like it's nothing
It never bothers me at all
And I think maybe, just maybe
I could walk through
your gardens
gardens

Out in rural Pennsylvania
miles and miles away from harm
in the town of Factoryville
playing baseball on the farm (big six, big six)
thirty million dollar arm (big six, big six,)
a Christian gentleman (big six, big six)
Christy Mathewson
Christy Mathewson
Christy Mathewson is
god
he's god
he's god
he's god
Playing under city lights
summer nights in black and white
praying, pitching, nothing more
But that was all before the war (big six, big six)
He never held a gun before (big six, big six)
A Christian soldier then (big six, big six)
Christy Mathewson
Christy Mathewson
Christy Mathewson is
gone
he's gone
he's gone
he's gone
Christy Mathewson

Christy Mathewson is

Man,
he was a telephone
Man,
he was a telephone
Long
distances
Call,
calling home
You can't
know
his heart
Or read
him like a
postcard
You can't
know
his heart
Or read
him like a
postcard
La la la la la la
Laura
La la la la la la
Laura
Living in
St. Louis
La la la la long
enough
You can't
stay inside
forever
wearing out
your broken records
You can't

Charlie told me
not to worry, not to worry
and I believe him if only
just for now
The sun is setting on his apartment
in San Pedro
and I believe him if only
just for now
Hank, don't leave me here
I'm no good without you
What am I supposed to do
now?
Now the days are
gray and empty, gray and empty
and I can't find the point in
anything
Hank just laughed and said
"Hey kid, you don't suppose
you're being overly morose now?"
Hank, don't leave me here
I'm no good without you
What am I supposed to do
now?
