Van Ness Mission

Jandek · Other Songs - Jandek

If you think that you're the one

Let me into summer sun

Well you're right, I've been surmised

By the appearance of the sky

By the look that's in your eyes

I see how the summer flies

Way up high without its wings

Fortunate for everything

I want you to speak aloud

Tell me of a sparkling crowd

Why they tremble at the sound

Of a lazy eerie round

Shotgun shells are on the ground

Of the forest and the town
