I dreamed last night
a strange dream
a whitewashed house was the promise I forgot
but you were there, you carried a cat in your arms
you said someone who has gone this far must get a proud name
tootolah...
tootolah
means
when we stood at the crossroads the cat was gone
we searched in the grass
we searched in the well
we ran across the fields
we were free to run, but we never saw the chance where we stepped in the dune.
I've stopped asking and wondering why
I don't get answers, man live until you die
just the right dose of joy just the right dose of crying
in between the path you never reach
we came to a city I had never seen before,
where the clouds fell and they fell so soft
we crept along back streets on the edge of town
where we met a mother looking for her child
tootolah
we are looking for tootolah
means
on a white porch under the purple sky
my shirt stank of musty men's perfume
you painted your lips in a rusty knife
and somehow we were glad to be alive
by a bottomless pond stood a porcelain boat
sweat ran down my back like melted margarine
I drenched my shirt in the water to cool your skin
then we lay on the porch
not a sound
I have stopped asking and wondering why
I don't get any answers you live until you die
right doses of joy, right doses of crying
between the ranks, you never get
I just woke up, put on my shoes
I wandered along the country road that goes where I live
tonight it doesn't seem to lead anywhere
just right into the dark I'm running on chance
for tootolah
tootolah< br/>means
to keep me awake
a whispering voice that lives in a bottle that lives in my chest
that says all I seek and desire
no man knows how fleeting there are
some go to heaven and others perish
those we only dream of
about tootolah
tootolah
means.. tootolah.
