MASON JENNINGS LYRICS - Ulysses

"Ulysses"



I went in to twelve bookstores looking for ulysses

Motherwell led me to believe all my questions would be answered

Now i have it here sitting on the table

Another word for the universe

Loose green tea and a bonsai tree, an underground apartment

Check my e-mail and wash my clothes while my rice is cooking

Oh jesus christ, how i hate making phonecalls

So i lead a lonely life

A waterfall from a higher place told me all about you

The funeral of the man i was told me not to doubt you

Oh what we could do with your dress up round your shoulders

We could leave all our fear behind

I went in to the liquor store looking for a bottle

Of my favorite bombay gin, the answer to my problems

But to my delight the bottles were all taken

Ah yeah, another hero's night
