Now you see it now you don't
things make sense, and then they won't
I can barely see across the bay
she's so distant and obscure
I can't escape from her
until I'm far enough away
and Alcatraz comes in and out of sight
and Alcatraz is flashing in the night
and I think of the one, a distant blur,
a piece of me still lodged in her
held prisoner - she's my Alcatraz
things I think I almost know
discontinued long ago
once occurred inside her walls
and I can't helping thinking of
harsh rituals of love
that no one quite recalls

I Think God Can Explain
There's a lot of things I understand,
and there's a lot of things,
That I don't want to know.
But you're the only face,
I recognize, It's so damn sweet of you,
to look me in the eyes.
It's all right, I'm O.K.,
I think God can explain,
I believe I'm the same,
I get carried away
It's alright, I'm O.K.,
I think God can explain
I'm relieved, I'm relaxed,
I'll get over it yet,
The scent of vaseline,
in the summertime,
the feel of an ice cube,
melting over time,
the world seems bigger than both of us,
yet it seems so small,
when I begin to cry.
It's all right, I'm O.K.,
I think God can explain,
I believe I'm the same,
I get carried away
It's alright, I'm O.K.,
I think God can explain
I'm relieved, I'm relaxed,
I'll get over it yet,
I'm so much better than you guessed,
I'm so much bigger than you guessed,
I'm so much brighter than you guessed.
It's all right, I'm O.K.,
I think God can explain,
I believe I'm the same,
I get carried away
It's alright, I'm O.K.,
I think God can explain
I'm relieved, I'm relaxed,
I'll get over it yet,
I'll get off of your back,
I think God can explain.
I think God can explain.
I think God can explain.
