Everything is jello and comes home Dairy Queen Nirvana (J-E-L-L-O) Everything on I saw a dachshund in a raincoat Bowing to a voting cone The clerk was chewing bubble gum On a train stop throne (J-E-L-L-O) They mean the dog in the sink And the son on the brink I mean your name on my tongue and the train in the distance I mean the cat in the alley With one torn ear The young man at the counter Counting hard years (J-E-L-L-O) His socks were full of pebbles My pocket held a rock And a woman wore my old address And talked at my alarm They mean the stamp on a letter For the crack in the paint And the laugh that escapes you That's why you’re trying to stay tame I mean the rain on the bus stop With the mud on your shoes A note in your pocket One that you already knew Oh, it gets worse Then it gets bright The dark learns to swim The fish take flight Everything is jello Everything shakes, then sways Everything is jello In a thousand lime green ways Hold my hand, lady If the world slips slow Everything is jello And she kinda loves the show (J-E-L-L-O) The clerk then kissed an E-bike The bicycle cried rain That fish was in my television Singing my middle name Everything The glass, the bruise, the choir of clocks The blue on the mailbox Some red on the socks (J-E-L-L-O) The fists that shake And hands that mend The first bad news from My last good friend Look the clouds wore Louis Vuitton The thunder took a bow My breath made tiny weather In the mirror, right now The grub on the window And the whale under dark water A step-child with a secret About the father, the daughter The market at morning And the ground after rain With clouds that keep coming And the breath that remains Oh, it gets weird Then it gets clear A parade of little martyrs Starts marching near If it lives here If it belongs And if it breaks here And it sings (J-E-L-L-O) If it’s small If it is enough And if it’s gone And it still rings Everything is jello Everything shakes, then sways Everything is jello In a thousand cherry red ways (J-E-L-L-O) Hold my hand, my woman If the world slips slow Everything is jello And I kinda love the show Everything, everything Calls my name (calls my name) Everything, it asks me it asks the same (asks the same) Hold it close And let it be Like everything, everything Like it is part of me I fed my doubts to pigeons They flew in a perfect line A door grew arms and opened Like it knew my worried mind Maps turned into simple syrup The pages turned inside out I lost my name in glitter glue Then I read it in a shout "I mean the paper cup At the hospital floor In the seed in the palm And the key in the drawer With the scar on your shoulder And the salt on your cheek With the promise you keep For when you cannot speak I mean the mountain And the ant in the shade With the question you carry In the home that you made Yes the fire in the stove Has the ash in the light And the mercy that finds you Sleeping at the end of the night" And if I say everything I say you I say the wound And the hands that got through (J-E-L-L-O) I say the lost thing I say the returned And I say the living I see who keep getting burned Everything is jello Everything shakes, then sways Everything is jello In a thousand yellow lemon ways (J-E-L-L-O) Hold my hand, momma If the world slips slow Everything is jello And they kinda love the show Everything is jello Let it wobble, let it glow Everything is j-e-l-l-o That’s everything I know Everything, I know It calls my name (calls my name) Everything, everything And asks the same (asks the same) Hold it close Just let it be Everything, Jello Everything is part of me The dachshund Louis Vuitton Your name and Dairy Queen Nirvana Everything on Dairy Queen Nirvana And comes home (J-E-L-L-O) Everything is jello
